I originally had them in that group because I forgot about Notre Dame, but who do they replace in that permanent tier? LSU? The article was very specific about 16 teams in tier one with 8 permanent members.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
The thinking is that PEOPLE WANT PREMEIR MATCHUPS, THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HAVE THESE SUPERLEAGUES.
Never mind the fact that each SEC team and B1G team schedules at least one, if not two body bag games per season. It wasn't always this way. Case in point, here's CU's OOC schedule in 1991 (the year referenced):
- Wyoming
- Baylor
- Minnesota
- @Stanford
- Tennessee
- Stanford
- @Illinois
- @Texas
- Washington
- Eastern Carolina
- UNLV
- Bowling Green
- Oregon
- Samford
- Kent State
- Georgia Tech
The revenue promise of a super league only becomes reality if they eliminate these types of matchups and expand playoffs to generate a 20-25% increase in the number of compelling broadcasts per week. That may also include more games which aren't on Saturday.
part of the Rudy plan is no more FCS or G5 games
And probably some securities fraud.
increase revenue any way possible!

FTW
Rudy didn't!
I think he’s just upset about the lack of overhead bin space for his backpack.
This. Current jurisprudence on anti-monopoly efforts basically conclude that if there are >2 market participants, you good. It's fine if 2 of them are dominant. The mere presence of a viable third (whether or not it's operating at the same revenue level) competitor gets the two out of most anti-trust problems. See cell phones, see airlines, see (pick almost any industry that is "consolidating"). >2 viable market participants, and you're generally fine.

I'm a ****ty troll
Looks like project Rudy is done. SEC/B1G want all the $$ and power. They don't want to share the pie. I think that they want to pay $$ to play cupcakes, and their next move probably is continue skewing their OOC match-ups to against one another, Notre Dame excepted. B1G will probably stay close to the MAC for OOC filler. SEC may get close with a southern conference maybe the Sun Belt for OOC filled. SEC probably goes to 9 conference games.
I'm not sure how this move will be received by the other conferences, media, or television. There could be some backlash. ND is a wildcard and has always had fractious relations with the B1G. Hopefully, they move further away from the B1G. We may see the ACC and B-12 make similar OOC scheduling moves, which might bolster CU given our large TV following and then hopefully FSU, Miami, Clemson, ND, etc... want to fill any OOC void.
Presently, SEC/B1G has the best television deals, dominated the 4 team playoff, and corner the rankings market, however we shall see how things shake out with a 12 team playoff. To climb the rankings for the other conference teams, it is about getting a team through the regular season with 0-1 loss. Some high ranked SEC and B1G teams will play each-other, and also some will just lose games (see Alabama); so B12 and ACC teams can move up. I think a 2 loss, B12 team would get in if they lost a close B12 championship game, and not coming off 2 consecutive losses.

Not surprised. But this is the start of negotiations with posturing. I think they'll eventually find something that is somewhere between 70 programs and the 34 which currently comprises the B1G+SEC. As I've said, 48 seems like the number that gets the networks all they want and members beyond that don't increase the payout per member.Looks like project Rudy is done.

48 is potentially a very risky cut off for CU. now, if CP stays and the ratings stay where they are, then for sure we make the cut.
It is a bit scary but I think being the top program in the state with a big metro population would hopefully be enough
If CU is winning then I think we're a Top 20 ratings generator. With Prime with the same success, we're a top 5. Where I think his impact most skews ratings is when CU is a bad team like last year when he completely carried things.
The same 4k that usually show up and leave at halftime.
Another reason to be thankful we are no longer in the Pac-12. Inept leadership as usual.
