A person can be a socialist in a capitalist society, but a person is not allowed to be a capitalist in a socialist society.

Interesting... However N'ubs fortunes declined precipitously right after Frank Solich was fired from a team that went on to win 10 games (9 while coached by Solich). They continued to spiral downward and they haven't really gotten close to dominant since.

In order to stay competitive with the top football programs in the country, the Fighting Irish needed a paycheck within the range of the Big Ten’s most recent media deal, which grants member schools around $70 million annually.
So then how is $50 million (from NBC) a competitive agreement? The answer lies in addition. Notre Dame also receives $17 million (according to their recent tax filings) from the ACC coming out of their media deals as part of the ACC scheduling agreement. The initial $50 million, plus the additional $17 million, places Notre Dame at an astonishing $67 million they are set to make annually, only $3 million off the pace set by the Big Ten.

at least with 70, k-state would make the cut.

NEW: A group of sports execs and college presidents is proposing a football “Super League” of 80 schools, to pay players, collectively bargain and increase revenue.

and me.
The current CST outline would create a system that would have the top 70 programs — all members of the five former major conferences, plus Notre Dame and new ACC member SMU — as permanent members and encompass all 130-plus FBS universities.
The perpetual members would be in seven 10-team divisions, joined by an eighth division of teams that would be promoted from the second tier.
The 50-plus second-division teams would have the opportunity to compete their way into the upper division, creating a promotion system similar to the structure in European football leagues. The 70 permanent teams would never be in danger of moving down, while the second division would have the incentive of promotion and relegation.

While I am not a huge fan of promotion and relegation, I think overall, this is a good solution for the future of college football. The current model is broken and rapidly getting worse. The only problem is that if the Big Ten and SEC feel like it will cost them a dime in potential revenue, they will oppose this. If this new setup happened, they would likely try to rig the system so that the so-called elite schools get the most money.tmcats wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 10:09 amat least with 70, k-state would make the cut.

If the proposed College Sports Tomorrow model goes through, here's one possibility for what 7 divisions of 10 teams, with an 8th division of the 10 best G5s that rotate every year might look like.

That’s a good plan. The key will be to get the big and sec to agree to media revenue sharing and a spending cap. Maybe someone can get them to look at the NFL. It took the rich teams to realize that sharing the TV money and putting in a cap would result in MORE revenue due to the increasing popularity and growth of all the teams in the NFL.
College football will eventually die on its current path of only a handful of sec and big teams being on tv. Sure they’d make money short term but in the long term they’ll die because the rest of the country will tune out.
The plan looks like it would bring back regional rivalries. Plus the blue bloods would still have big alumni dollars coming in to give them an edge.
Either go to a plan that’s something like this or die.
