I know some argue that we need to stay at the "top division," but the reality is that most of the schools in FBS will not be able to compete.

Sucks, but they have the boosters to play in this new game (for now).

We just saw SMU win AAC via NIL deals (wins) & nonchalantly give up conference revenue shares so they could join the ACC (respect), due to the massive amount of money their donors have.

They got beat by a 6-6 Boston College team (ACC, lol) in a pitiful 10am Bowl in Boston.  No respect and no win!

Do we compete with the Ohio States of the world right now? Have we ever?

Honestly, I'm surprised it's just $13 million. 

[untphd]

I read the Ohio State coach said it would take 13 million and this year that is what he got.

[untphd]

The Texans rookie QB , C.J Stroud, gave at the Platinum level. Platinum is between 50K and 100K.

You're citing performance on the field in 1 game, after the fact.     No brother, they had already bought both.
Also, ...something about stones & glass houses... you know, since UNT was sitting at home watching that game.

I understand what you're saying, but both the ACC and the American Conference list the Fenway Bowl as one of their top, non-access, bowls.

There is going to be a split coming in the next 5-7 years.  Financially it just doesn't make sense for the G5 schools to keep it up.  G5 will be the new D1AA and have its own championship.

Probably your worst take on this forum. I guess we should all stop donating then?

If they could've, they would've already.  Name any criteria for "separation" that can avoid antitrust. That's why it hasn't been done yet.

Its going to be a complete break from the NCAA.  The leagues will then effectively govern themselves without the nuisance of the NCAA and its selective enforcement.  Everyone knows this is coming.

 

The antitrust case is an interesting one but you'd have to be able to make the case in court that a program like UL-Monroe should effectively be treated the same as Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, UGA, etc.   The reality is there is a clear financial separation that is only going to be more pronounced in the very short term.  

 

The separation is an inevitability.  The only question is when.

[Old Denton]

OK, what's the membership criteria? 

Money?, Liberty alone would laugh at that, they could mail the new consortium a blank check and tell them to fill in the amount.  BYU also.

Also have you heard that the playoff committee is considering not granting SMU a P4 share of CFP revenue.

Donating doesn’t have to involve being envious suckups to $mut.  

The “Evil Empire” on Mockingbird Lane, in Highland Park (not Dallas!), is the poster boy for how to cheat and get things without earning them.  Is that really what we aspire to as a program and fan base?

This is about sending a message to Wazzu/Oregon State that they can't just elevate a bunch of G5's and expect them to keep "P5" status and get the CFP $$$.  This has absolutely nothing to do with SMU and will be resolved accordingly.  Not the slightest bit concerned.

You clearly didn't read the article as about 80% of it is strictly about SMU and how receiving zero CFP payouts would affect SMU since your leaders believed they would receive that money to offset some of the lost revenue from receiving zero ACC media dollars. I'd copy and paste the SMU-related sections but so much of it is about SMU that it'd be reposting almost the entire article.

Try to keep up.  

They are using SMU as a warning to the PAC-2 that they can't just elevate a gaggle of G5's and expect to get the CFP $$$ and autonomous status.  The legal argument for not giving SMU the CFP money is hilarious considering the Big 12 added BYU, Cincinnati, UH, and UCF last year and they received their shares.  The issue with SMU will get resolved without any issue which has been communicated both to SMU's administration as well as the ACC.

Its all about letting the other conferences know the last life raft from the G5 has been taken.
