That's nuts. Because Vandy and Northwestern deserve it?

A far stretch from the former model, which saw the Power 5 split evenly 80% of the base

The rest of the FBS schools need to stand up to the P2. If they threaten to leave, call their bluff. In the end, if they choose to break away, I say good! Let them go. We were going to get a raw deal anyway if they stayed. So what difference does it make?

it will be interesting to see how notre dame plays this. do the catholics cave or join the b12 and acc in fighting the p2? i really don't have a clue. but i believe what the irish choose to do now has a major impact on the outcome. their easy road would be to join the b10. but the school has long played a role of seeing itself as being above the fray.

it's odd to me how this group thinks given their representation.

the power two may be putting an ultimatum on the table: our way or we leave.

What is going on with these people?

I remember reading H.G. Welles "Outline of History" and he talked about that part of the reason for conflicts among countries was that the map of the world did not accurately delineate the true historic and ethnic connections of the people of the region. Peace may be reliant on allowing like minds to co-exist and self-govern as much as possible.

With this premise I have to wonder what the true allegiances of this group individuals which comprise the CFP Administration, LLC,. The obvious consideration is remuneration. Follow the money. Have they been promised some crazy compensation by sitting on a board of lackies if they just "play ball".

Or have they carefully selected individuals who are alums of SEC or Big 10 institutions? Individual supposedly representing one group but whose true allegiances lie elsewhere? I really have no idea what is going on, but things do not seem to be on the up and up.

Otherwise they need to explain to their respective fans, schools and conferences the reason for their actions or inactions.

Absofrickinlutely! This is like 2 bullies in my opinion . Need a friggin pop right in the nose! I hate everything b1g and sec is getting just as bad.
Have them go with pay for play. Let them figure out if they need to go to school or what happens when they fail.
Domers will split with the P2, as they more than likely be be getting 99.99% of the 10% reserved for the remaining teams.

Others return to Student Athletes (Schollies + some stipend or payment form that is CONTROLLED).

I also noticed it mentioned that 15 of the last 18 Natty's were won by SEC and b1g. Sure the b1g hoped on that stick quickly. Shit they have 2 of those 18 including this year.
Dating back to 2000 we'll call it:
SEC has 14 (1 split)
ACC has 4
b1g has 3
Big 12 has 2
Pac has 2 (1 split)
nd - nada
This is exactly why I despise the b1g they have the arrogance that they are great - when they been proven time and again to be pretenders. But they should get one of the Automatic top seeds with a bye. Give me a friggin break.
Damn between those 2 arrogant asses, the NIL, limitless transfers and players forming unions - they are going to ruin the sport I love.
Sorry for the rant, but this struck a nerve!

Just as a follow-up on the Ross Dellinger article that tmcats quoted from: I was watching a little of Greg Flugaur's Peek Around the Corner podcast. In that article, he mentions that Brett Yormark wants a provision added that is essentially a "look-in" in 2028 or before if there is any more conference realignment. I found that interesting because apparently ESPN has on out option on its contract with the ACC in 2027 (or the ability to renegotiate it for the remainder of the contract until 2036).

Hmmm. Sounds like Yormark is expecting that the top ACC schools will leave for the P2 and he may be able to pick up the best of the rest like Pitt, Louisville, NC State, and VT. Those schools would increase the value of the Big 12 relative to the ACC, which might mean more distribution to the Big 12. I'm glad we have someone like Yormark in our corner during these negotiations.

Another encouraging thing (in spite of how unfair this setup might become) is that everyone will make more money than they are now from the CFP. It's just that the P2 schools are going to make an insanely HUGE amount more relative to everyone else.
