What is the end point for CFB realignment?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 11th, 2018 4:00 PM Author: Primrose Potus Ape At what point do we just admit that the conferences have lost all meaning? If the Big Ten adds Texas/Oklahoma as I have read, it is time to just admit the traditional conference structure is pointless. It is no longer about tradition and playing historic rivals in the state next to you when you have unwieldy conferences that feature Texas/Oklahoma and Maryland/Rutgers.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the next round of TV rights. The big TV contracts are going to go away due to cord cutting and the next bidders will likely be streaming services who will rely on a data-driven approach based on paying for only the schools people actually want to watch. No one cares about Northwestern and Oregon State games.
Does this end in essentially PPV for each game? Four 16 team super-conferences? I think the most likely long-term move is the top 25-35 schools that actually bring in ratings break off and form their own league while keeping traditional conferences for the other sports. Break the teams into regional pods like the NFL (e.g AFC Central) and have an NFL-style playoff. They would likely make $100M plus each in TV rights, while the remaining teams struggle to get by and become non-conference cannon fodder. It makes a lot more sense to get back to the smaller regional conferences IMO.
What do you want or expect to happen?
As we know, all revolves around the mighty TV dollar, but the TV business is drastically changing. Who knows how we’ll be watching sports in 10 years, but it likely won’t be via the current bundled cable model. At the very least, consumers will be able to decide for themselves which media entities (ESPN, FS1, NCBSN, etc.) they’re willing to pay for. Or perhaps no longer will be a middleman and you will purchase game broadcasts straight from the leagues themselves to stream on your own device.
Whereas the last round of realignment was driven by inventory — bundle together as many schools from as many markets as possible to command the highest possible subscriber fees — the next round will be more about content. Put on the biggest possible games to garner the largest possible audience because the viewers themselves will become the buyers rather than Comcast or Time Warner.
To that end, the best possible way for an Ohio State or Alabama to maximize its value will be to shed the six or so games a year that only its own fans care about and turn every game into a national event. I’m talking one 24-team “conference” of only the biggest names in the sport, funneling exclusively into the College Football Playoff.

Date: December 11th, 2018 4:13 PM Author: Cobalt Stag Film Juggernaut I miss the Big 8, don't necessarily miss the Big 12 given what transpired with Texas.
In the short term, the move to the B1G has clearly hurt Nebraska's program. Long term, it was still the right thing to do IMO. The Big 12 will not survive conference re-alignment and Nebraska couldn't risk getting stuck in some mid-major conference with KU, KSU and ISU. |

Had they stayed they would've fucking murdered UTTT in recruiting the last 8 years and only had to beat OU in the Big 12 championship to make the playoff, which would've happened like 3/8 years.

|
Date: December 11th, 2018 5:20 PM Author: flirting nibblets queen of the night Exactly. As would Frost v. (Lincoln) Riley.
Going forward, the only plausible answer here is 4 super conferences with 8 team divisions, an 8 team playoff with 3 at-larges (one non-power 5 dedicated) and 4 non-conference games every year (i.e. just one rotating intra-conference-other-division game). This would maximize incentives for all the big dogs to play each other so that they could get one of the three at-larges with two losses based on strength of schedule better than Notre Dame's.

Date: December 11th, 2018 5:23 PM Author: Primrose Potus Ape I think a 64 team/4 super-conferences or one big CFB Premier League as the most likely outcome.

Date: December 11th, 2018 5:47 PM Author: Awkward stain forum "until people a at the top 30 or so school realize they can make $150M a year and not have to give schools like Iowa State money."
This is obviously where everything is heading. The Big 10 managed to exist for 120+ years with virtually no infighting concerning the share and share alike arrangement, notwithstanding the UM/OSU + everyone else dynamic for a large part of that time. While the Big 12 members were fighting like little bitches over revenue distribution, no one in the Big 10 even hinted at disturbing the longstanding profit distribution.
Now that the Big 10, as a historical relationship between institutions of higher learning, is all but dead, I don't see any reason for OSU, UM. and to a lesser extent, PSU to voluntarily continue with this arrangement. |

Nebraska's options were to (a) stay in the Big12 and continue to get screwed by UT and risk getting completely left out in the cold if UT decided to jump conferences or (b) move to the B1G, protect its long term future and increase its yearly revenue BIGLY.
If you can't understand why Nebraska chose (b) then you are truly too stupid for words. |

Date: December 11th, 2018 5:04 PM Author: flirting nibblets queen of the night Nebraska was literally the first mover in conference realignment. You could argue in June 2010 that it would be "left out in the cold" but you can't today. Had UT left for the Pac 14 or whatever Nebraska would've been in the Big 10 the next day. Nebraska actually took a substantial hit to its annual revenue v. staying in the Big 12 because it only gor 60% payouts for six years, though the 2017 pay out suggests that they could come out ahead long term (as long as the cable companies can continue paying these prices, which we all know they can't).
Look I get why Nebraska left, but you are delusional if you're arguing it's all UTTT's fault or that Nebraska is blameless in how fucked up CFB has become due to realignment. Nebraska is patient zero of realignment. Sure the Longhorn Network was/is real retarded sir. But reacting to that by saying "well two can play at this amateur media executive game, I raise and am totally happy to throw out all my school's traditions in the process" was moronic. |

Anyone in 2011 who heard about the Longhorn Network and thought "my God Texas will be invinceable with a tier 4 cable channel!!!" was a fucking idiot.

Date: December 11th, 2018 6:05 PM Author: Awkward stain forum There has been persistent talk of Texas joining the Big 10 going all the way back to the 90s. For example: https://www.si.com/college-football/2016/08/16/big-12-expansion-oral-history-big-8-swc-merger And "credible" sources were claiming that Texas and the Big 10 were exploring Texas joining the Big 10 when the Big 12 was on the cusp of imploding. Who knows if these talks were sincere, or if Texas was merely trying to negotiate better terms with the Pac 12. The point is that Nebraska didn't know, and if Texas joined the Big 10, there was practically zero chance Nebraska would also be invited to join the Big 10 (nor is it likely would Nebraska want to continue being in the same conference as Texas, and that sentiment had nothing to do with on field competition, with the possible limited exception being officiating).
Everyone likes to talk shit about those faggots, and personally, I would hate it if Texas joined the Big 10. However, I will also concede that they would be an autoadmit to the Big 10 if they agreed to equal revenue distribution. |

Date: December 11th, 2018 5:16 PM Author: Awkward stain forum I don't really give a fuck. I would much rather have another game against our traditional league opponents than play Nebraska.

If I woke up tomorrow and learned that the Big 10 kicked out Nebraska, Maryland, and Rutgers, it would be a dream come true, but I know this will never happen.
Also, I don't blame Nebraska the slightest for my sentiments, so don't take my comments as shitting on Nebraska. In my humble opinion, Nebraska is just not a good fit the Big 10, geographically, culturally, or style of play. |

The fact that the crossover games are in warm places where tons of Nebraska fans either live or want to visit is a big bonus. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of former Nebraskans living in the Phoenix area exceeds any city in Nebraska outside of Omaha and Lincoln.
Nebraska is kind of where the Midwest ends and the West begins. It has cultural traits of both the Midwest and Western (not West Coast) states. |

Date: December 11th, 2018 4:48 PM Author: Awkward stain forum Whether they watch or not is somewhat beside the point given how cable package deals are negotiated. The cost for cable providers to carry the Big Ten Network depends on whether there are any Big Ten markets in the particular cable market area. If a Big Ten market is present, the Big Ten charges substantially more for the Big Ten Network.
If network rights were an efficient market, adding SPS teams shouldn't make much of a difference, but lol at anything remotely related to cable being an efficient market. |

Matter of fact, you can pack your schedule with your former conference-mates.
But conference championships are dumb as fuck. Why should a four loss NW team be in the Big 10 championship just because its in the western division, or whatever? Given the play-off, all championship games should be deleted and replaced with a quarterfinal playoff game. Teams go back to 12 games.
Also -- anyone playing FCS schools is prohibited from the playoffs. |

Date: December 12th, 2018 11:43 AM Author: Vengeful citrine idea he suggested milk I have Citadel season tickets and I have a parking spot with my name on it about 150 yards from the ticket gates. I go with my little girl, it's not too crowded, it's not expensive, and I spend the entire day at the stadium. After the game, we go on the field and talk to the players.
We get 10-15k per game. The traffic isn't bad. There's no bathroom lines. Food is not horribly expensive. I pull into my spot and I'm less than 5 minutes from my seat, which is 9th row, 40 yard line, home side. If my girl has to go to the bathroom or my baby need a change, it's simple to get out.
Best of the deal is they sell beer at the stadium, and it was actually open bar in the end zone for season ticket holders at the last game. I had as much Gran Marnier as I wanted while watching the 'Dogs take it to the dreaded butt-pirates of CSU. Great, great game.
I always see a dozen people I know. My little girl always has a good time, there are never drunk trash cussing or fighting in the stands. The entire event is comfortable.
