You sound like a BYU fan now.

It really is so sad. CFB will never be the same.

Kind of liking the idea of a central command at this point. Good for sport...

Welcome to the last decade of BYU’s existence.

Would it only be BYU? I wonder if other universities will say, “enough.”

No way BYU has a fighting chance.

In my fantasy world NFL partners with college football to create a new, fair structure and introducing relegation

Relegation in college football would be terrible for the sport.

Cheating and corruption would not be rampant if NFL oversaw things. What kid is going to play for a school that can't

Was the source confirming that the article exists? Or confirming the info is

The source confirmed the article's idea is accurate. Not circular reporting

Any more ideas that we can throw out there to rile up the fans?

Dang. May have to re-engage that merger idea with the PAC if we can't take their

Both won't survive alone as is. Either merge or kill the other for survival

I prefer the latter

I see that making the big names in the B1G even bigger. No way they put Purdue

It's a brilliant move by NBC though. Will leave the SEC scrambling to keep up

How? They own college football.

I don't understand the point of pretending anymore, just break off and move on.

Are the people fooled though? Is this really going to work? IDK.

Alumni/alma mater relationship is what creates interest/excitement.

Ugh.. I really hope this doesn't work out.

I’m not sure how SEC expansion is the counter move. If B1G adds ND or gets a

This doesn’t sound all that revolutionary

runningryan

8/4/22 8:50am

Cool. That means that if CBS wants that big Saturday game it’s B12 most likely with SEC, ACC and B10 locked down.

The article says the B1G wants a deal where they get 3 network games each week

Listening to DP it seemed that the NFL would zipper a game on Saturday

I can only go off of what was made public. It is possible DP misunderstood.

Considering his radio show is on NBCSports Siriusxm channel....

B1G will NEVER leave FOX, who is the minority owner/distributor of B1G Network

Why on earth would the NFL and CFB want to compete with each other?

papencoug

Apologies if I'm missing the obvious, but what does NBC bring to the table for the B1G?
