Just take a Strong umbrella along & you'll be fine.

Somehow, I sort of doubt they mention the breaking of promises to the B12 & the smashing of their sacred "honor"  code. I'm sure Arkansas was excited the first few years as well. A&M has the potential to join the elite of the SEC, as well they should. Not so confident they will ever...

After rereading the OP's original line, he mentions a realignment in 2 years with aTm being in our pod. My first thought was regional leagues without regard to conference affiliation, But he does mention realignment. The only other thing I've seen envisioned is a merger of the B1G & the PAC...

I don't think that the TV contracts will be that big of a problem. If the contracts are allowed to stand as they are and the conferences remain the same, eliminate the conference championships and the allow the TV rights to remain with the home teams. Pods will not interfere as games within them...

Not saying it will ever happen. but....The constant murmur of BYU joining doesn't excite me at all, even for football only. There just don't seem to be any solid candidates currently available that move the meter. Raiding another conference seems to be the only viable option , & those...

OK. after ignoring my multi-part question about realignment and the future of the NCAA/ & D4, I get it. Either you don't want to talk about those topics or you don't have any info. Can you at least give a guess as to when some info will be coming out or how soon this becomes a major issue...

Since no one seems to want to label or limit the type of offense we will run, can you describe it a bit better for us or give examples of teams running similar o. I'm talking generalities, since I'm not smart enough to understand some of the specific jargon and techniques, but then others may.

Expansion info with Louisville & FSU was most welcome. I'm sure all is riding on the Maryland case. Have heard that Northwestern unionization case & the lawsuit/move toward full cost schollies is causing some to reconsider football. Heard teams in 3 out of the power 5 are debating...

OT, but given the financial experience & wisdom of most players entering the NFL, NBA, or MLB drafts, a certified financial planner & plan should be required as part of any contract.

Then it's definitely "Are you kidding me?"

What are you hearing regarding conference or more likely D4 football realignment? When, What, Who, How, How many? What limits or controls will there be to limit "cheating"? If the goal to develop elite regional play and interesting OOC for every team, leading to a8 team playoff? How soon will...

When Disney consults, what will be their priority? Game day experience as in the Orange Bowl halftime faldera, or home field advantage & atmosphere like Death Valley or better? Are they trying to intimidate visiting teams or get more money out of the season ticket holders? Is the dictate to...

Java, I think we're starting to get down to the nitty gritty on this. I like lots of your ideas. The split is for football only. And Contractor, that is a good list, although I would think you have to add Cincinnati. I would leave the current conferences and their TV contracts in place, with...

Mark, I know you're grieving the loss, I pray comfort for both your family and his.
