IMO, Washington should be the favorite in the Pac-12. And I think the real battle for the conference will be between Washington and Utah.

CBS sports has always done a bad job of prognosticating.

Sounds like Colorado and Arizona are about to announce a move to the BIG12. Probably going to start a mad dash of schools leaving.

If we are talking about 500 bucks per scholarship football player (85) at about 130 colleges, that's 5.5 million bucks a year.

This article does a good job of looking at how much money the game companies have been making and how much is distributed to players. 

They speculate a new NCAA game could make around 400 million dollars, so distributing 5.5 million of that is a pretty low number.

Madden games have produced around 600 million dollars and they distribute around 50 million to teams and players. 

Their analysis (which is now 3 years outdated) showed that a reasonable payout to players was more so around 2k.

Oh sure, just call it the "Cartel Bowl." Dumb, dumb, dumb idea.

Big Ten announced their scheduling format for 2024. Surprise, surprise! They have 9 conference games scheduled (but Saban thought that was too difficult ?).

It does seam like they are trying to do what hasn't been done before,  just because it hasn't been done before.

I've never had a great feeling about Yormark, and this idea confirmed it for me.

I remember Patterson was floating this idea for Texas before he got fired.

No good place for this. OU won softball world series, proably greatest team ever. 50+ wins 1 loss. To Baylor 4-3..

The yearly rivalry setup is dumb. Penn St doesn't have one.
