I love how ESPN on-air personalities ask the question “What’s next - will it become a Power 3 or even a Power 2?”, as if ESPN hasn’t been manipulating this movement from behind the scenes. This is THEIR fault in part. Greed is killing the college game as we know it.
ESPN is manipulating behind the scenes because they are probably the one TV media giant that will benefit from this "realignment chaos"; but in reality ESPN needs this because they are losing money every year, hence why all the layoffs.............
clearly you don't know how the pac 12 killed itself
True but I still love it. I just wish the conferences would start cutting out their weaker performers.
I think you're right. To me there is nothing good to come of all this. You mentioned ESPN and, yes, they are responsible for a lot of this. But in the end it all boils down to old fashioned greed. I live in the middle of the ACC and am a graduate of an ACC school. My school is one of the bigger brands in college sports so I think we'll be able to go to any league we want. But that's not the point. I don't care about us playing schools like Purdue or Baylor or Michigan. I have no interest. This hurts me as a fan because I can't jump on a plane every weekend for a road game. I'm used to all the road games being 25 miles away.
When you peel back the layers, the PAC 12 imploded because they couldn't get a TV deal. The ACC is sort of in the same boat. Fortunately, the ACC schools can't move right now. They're just sort of in limbo. But they at least have some time to figure things out and I hope they can.
So let's talk about ESPN. ESPN, unfortunately. is having it's greatest financial difficulties just when all this upheava is occuring. Even if they wanted to help the ACC, how can they. They don't have the money. They've fired half their employees because they can no longer afford them. ESPN is losing money and subscribers by the day.
I look at ESPN and think to myself, how stupid can they be to pay idiots who can barely speak English to sit around and talk about football.
ESPN offered the PAC-12 a network partnership years ago. The PAC-12 turned it down. They wanted to do it themselves and keep all the money. Yes, ESPN is greedy, but so are the Presidents of these Conferences and the school administrators. When everyone is greedy, there are going to be winners and losers, and you can't really feel bad for the losers.
Also, the best four brands out of the PAC-12 -- USC, UCLA, Oregon, & Washington, are all going to the B1G, which FOX has broadcasting rights to. Yes, ESPN has rights to the Big 12, and that's where Utah, the current best team in the conference is going, but Utah isn't exactly a ratings crusher. FOX benefits from this far more than ESPN does.
Why they didn’t use Deion Sanders sound bite. He said it best…schools are chasing the bag.
Deion chases the bag. Everyone chases the bag. As it ever was.
@@gilescaver8841 what’s your point
Love how ESPN plays a part in the destruction of CFB than asks what’s going on…LOL
Also...ESPN and Fox will realize their mistake when its gotten past the brink. If they do drive that 2 conference narritive the die hard fans will eventually stop watching and their numbers will drop even faster.
I watch all of college football...but if my team was to fade into nothing or the atmosphere in a 2 conference system be stale...id just stick to the NFL.
I prefer the NCAA because of the atmosphere and i love the big 12 because everyone can beat everyone. In a two conference system what youll schedule ohio state and bama to run through nobodies then rotate which blue blood school gets the easiest road to the playoffs?
Thats not exciting at all.
I'm not happy with how things are going but would it even be possible to have a schedule of nobodies with basically 2 super conferences?
Spot on about the eventual disinterest in the non-power two fan bases! That was a refreshing read… completely nailed my stance in all of this!
My interest in college football has started to decrease. And I was a diehard fan. I pay more attention to the NFL now.
@@melrozeCollege football looking a lot similar to the NFL with all these realignments.
@@chandler2 If it gets to a Fox Big10 and ESPN/ABC SEC with say 20 teams in each league, it will be like the NFL. Teams will make the playoffs from those leagues with 9-3 records and be seated similar to wildcard teams in the NFL. Even if the ACC and BIG12 are part of a new Power 4, SEC and BIG10 will still get 3 to 4 teams in the playoffs.
Indeed, ESPN. We seem to have lost the essence of what makes this sport special. Could it be because we've transformed amateur sports into professional ones by turning them into profit-driven ventures for large conglomerates with vested interests in marketing college football? I believe so. Thanks ESPN
The NCAA should have immediately suspended USC and UCLA for at least ten years from even taking the field, for gross insubordination!
The Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry wasn't dismantled when Nebraska left for the Big Ten. It was ended when the Big 8 added the Texas teams and became the Big 12 because Nebraska and Oklahoma were in different divisions, and they didn't play every year. Then, when Nebraska did leave the Big 12, it was because of instability. Texas and several other Big 12 schools were going to join the Pac 12 but then pulled out at the last second due to the Longhorn Network. Nebraska, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State would've been in the same situation as Oregon State, Washington State, Stanford, and Cal. Saying that Nebraska ended the NU-OU rivalry is inaccurate.
Slight tangent, Texas’ AD Dodds wanted to capture tier 3 revenue, and approached the conference about a conference network. It was shot down. Dodds went to ATM about a LoneStar Network and they too declined. So he went with the LHN, and everyone got bent out of shape.
This is like being mad at Bill Gates cause you didn’t invest in Microsoft in 1985.
Well that's on the big 12 management and makes me grateful that the SEC has been managed fairly well. Because going from 8 to 12 you should have still maintained that cross division annual rivalry in an 8 game conference season. The SEC invented a system in 1990 that ran flawlessly until 2012 when we went to 14. And it's been pretty good except for the lessened SEC East. But you can actively maintain tradition but 16 team leagues is the cracking point. A football team is not physically capable of handling a season that long while having enough interplay to determine a true champion
@@voiceofreason2674 Agreed. It was poor management by the Big 12. The large amount of teams in the Big Ten will definitely be a challenge. At least these conferences can learn from the Big 12's scheduling mistake. It sure seems like the SEC has done so by preserving the rivalries.
@@micahbader3096 idk it seems impossible to maintain them at the level were used to. Like they will become every other year events and they won't be at the same time of the year every season. Certain SEC rivalries are defined by the time of year they play. Smoking hot September games when youre teams fresh, Halloween games that develop lore, and then the November gauntlet
@@voiceofreason2674 Absolutely. It seems to me the B10/SEC are both very well managed and aligned to both their respective institutions and the conference as a whole.
The B12 was oblivious and the leadership has antagonized the two major programs recently and ignored the calls for change. The recent comments by Tim Weiser regarding Texas were telling about his relationship with Texas (and facts) and it was little surprise to find out he was a grifter who fleeced KSU. I am a bit further removed from the PAC, but it seems to me they also behaved foolishly. Only the B12 survives because its loss was earlier and they had time to try to shore it up as best as they could, whereas the PAC is likely going to fold.
I do wonder about your last statement though. Recently I heard that Mack Brown stated that there have been more changes in the past 2 years than in the previous 33 that he had been a coach. I wonder if scholarships will go up to offset more games with the expanded playoffs and conference expansions.
Blame ESPN and Fox.
You're not funny at all.
ESPN started it when they made their deals with the SEC and the ACC and then got exclusive rights to the playoffs. Fox decided to do more than compete but crush ESPN and they knew that only the Big Ten could do it in the TV markets by expanding to the West Coast. ESPN colluded with the SEC and Fox did the same with the Big Ten except the Big Ten expanded into more TV markets while the SEC added Oklahoma while the Big Ten added California the largest market in the country. The SEC cannot allow the Big Ten to get FSU or Miami.
Literally
Greed is killing the college game. The things I loved were the regional, city and state rivalries and they often had some significance within conferebce, even if they continue they want now. Now a lot of them are dying. I don't care about espn or any other entities part, the schools are the ones that make that decision. This is happening because of their greed and need for more money.
Greed is the driving force of America. It's not just sports. And it's been that way for decades now. We can't be surprised. Until the American culture changes, this will continue. Capitalism is a beast and it constantly needs to feed. Eventually it consumes itself and takes us all with it.
Greed is killing all aspects of our society unfortunately
😱. Cry me a River.
It’s business and capitalism at it best.
Greed and the NFL’s involvement to create a minor league played significant roles in destroying the pac 12.
@@lukephillips770 If that's your reasoning then you have no problem with the players making money off their NIL right?
Itll be the power 3 at the end of the day.
And the power 2 within five years.
@patrickoneill8707 see now you dont know what you're talking about.
@@MasterChief806 I've been watching college football for 50 plus years. Why do you say that? Just three years ago no one on planet Earth would have believed you if you would have said the pac-12 is almost out of existence and the ACC will be right behind it. That is exactly what is happening right now. FSU has already pretty much said the ACC needs to pay them to stay or they are going. As soon as they go Clemson will be next, Notre Dame will be the last independent and they will go to the Big ten, and in five years mark my word there are only going to be two mega conferences.
We should have never gone to a playoff. It's not pro football. It's college. Soon it will be a collegiate version of the world football league. The regional nature of the sport is what made it great.
I sure hope that you are not being serious.
@@darryllmcgee 1000% serious! Money is now the man driver the sport. The kids don't matter. Tradition doesn't matter. All that matters is looking for the bag. Bowl games used to matter! Rivalries used to matter! It's a frickin shame. The 12 team playoff will be nothing but SEC and Big 10. Perhaps you are to you to remember the days when we spent all off-season debating who was better, because conferences were tied to certain bowls. That's what made the sport. It's becoming purely a minor league for the nfl.
I welcome the playoffs, Having a champions based on opinions was always ridiculous. It's football, not gymnastics.
Won't ESPN realize they gave West Coast away to Fox and do something for the last remaining P5 schools ?
ESPN is mad because they no longer have BIG 10 TV rights. A significant portion of the country will be watching CFB from noon to 11pm and ESPN won't be getting those views.
"It used to be incremental," huh? Setting up the dynamite can take a long time, but the explosion happens in seconds. This situation has been brewing for more then two decades. The right time to instill values was long ago. Whispers of making significantly more money isn't the ethos we wanted for college sports.
Kstateeee we excited to add our members
They should join the ACC
I was under the impression that there are limitations on the use of endowment money? Can it be used for sports, and is that different for each university?
Just like big banks, these big conference’s will collapse in on themselves. They’ll eventually will break up 10-12 years from now.
Maybe the Saudis will start buying conferences.
College football think they are NFL: NFL has indoor football stadiums
I've quit watching all sports other than college football in 2020! This will RUIN college football more than they already have! Guess I'll just watch the grass grow!!!
I can’t believe how these conferences can casually take these teams in aren’t geographically attached. The presidents care nothing about history or traditions.
And neither do I. Please stop crying and accept the new era of football.
You must be talking about the Big 10 with their teams because the Big 12 with the 4 corners makes sense.
Well I agree to some extent, change is inevitable, and it doesn't always taste good.
In the early days of the SEC everybody said the conference would fail. The same is true of every conference in college football over the last 100 years.
When things are new they look terrible. It is because we love to embrace what has always been. But before you and I were born things were drastically different and when the current conferences started to form, everyone lost their minds.
It is just the next iteration of college football, which I will watch until the day I die.
@@MasterChief806 Actually more the SEC. We are taking into teams that absolutely do not belong. To go one step further Texas A&M doesn’t belong neither does Missouri. These are the same people With the globalist mentality that is destroying this country. Tradition be damned.
Personally I think the PAC 12 should add the best around them from the MWC Boise state etc and also get some of the big programs in the fbs North Dakota state, South Dakota state and Montana. Give them 5-10 years to build up. I know it isn't ideal but it would save the PAC12 and maybe after some building make them a power again.
It would cost the MWC schools too much money to leave right now. Those deals are locked-in. We might find the remaining 4 PAC-12 schools joining the MWC, not the other way around.
Right now MWC > PAC 12. As of now the PAC 12 doesn't exist.
@@melroze I agree with you I honestly don't like the PAC12 I think the last time I watched any of their teams play was when Oregon went to Columbus and beat Ohio State. I was just throwing out a little hope for the dead conference lol
Do you realize that networks have been actually cutting annual payments to G5 conferences? They’ve basically been attempting to widen the gap.
That’s the future of the Pac, if there is a future for it.
And, no, the networks aren’t going to pay for elevating FCS schools. They’re already dissuading the remaining power conferences from adding G5 schools (prediction: the b12 will eventually be penalized for bucking the trend). The networks are cannibalizing college sports, partly because they have decided this might help them stem the streaming trend that is only gaining momentum. Those network efforts will also fail… by the end of this year (if not already), there will be more people streaming than who have the cord. Me included.
This goes to show money is root of all evil
Ah, Heather Dinich, the Chief Propagandist for the SEC at ESPN.
She's as dumb as a rock and is more of a BIG X homer.
Mark my words- In 5 years the universities with less competitive athletics (primarily football and basketball) will be relegated out of these newly formed mega-conferences.
Schools like Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Iowa State, Wake Forest, Rutgers, Missouri, Illinois, and Maryland will be scrambling to find a new conference home.
Just like a corporation, the conferences will eliminate the programs that aren’t high earners in order to pay more to the programs that are. The conferences already know the ideal size is 12 universities- anything more than that creates scheduling issues. So over the next 5 years- after all the current realignment dust has settled-they will evaluate which programs must be cut to get to that Top 12 number. Mark my words.
Old Bearcat guy here, Big12🥰, happy camper, we were once outside looking in🤔, companies die with bad mgt, pac12, 😁.
I find it funny how these ESPN folks question what and how all this happened when answer can be found in their network ownership and Fox. Laughable
I feel sorry for rhe amaller sports who have to travel across the country on a Wednesday 🙄
It's tragic for Oregon State and Washington State. But this is going to happen to the Illinois and Mississippi State type schools next.
They may have the same results on the football field, but Illinois is miles ahead of those other schools by every other measure.
@@jona.scholt4362Illinois is not leaving the big 10. 😂
@@jona.scholt4362 I'm just talking football. Mississippi generates more blue chip talent than Illinois every year. Which is crazy considering the population. So long as winning will keep them in the picture, Mississippi State is always going to be on the top flight of college football.
@@jona.scholt4362 Illinois is not better than Oregon State at football. Basketball yes but not football.

Snow ball effect of expansion started with SEC adding Texas & OU. Since then the ball has only gotten bigger.
The Big 10 will roll over everyone in College Football 🏈🏈= 😂😂😂
Yeah right y’all only have Ohio state and Michigan.
@@205impala Go Blue 🔥🔥🔥
But we still have Iron bowl, Ohio st vs Mich, Minnesota vs Wisconsin, Flst vs Miami, had Pitt vs Wvu last year. Now we have Utah vs Byu. Arizona vs Az St. Still have Ga Tech vs Uga. Flordia vs Uga. Ole miss vs Miss st. Still have Oklahoma vs Texas. Usc vs Notre Dame. Iowa vs Iowa St. Now you get Okst vs Colorado. Still a ton of good rivalries out there. Lets not over react. I think Washington vs Oregon will now be a big rivalry. New Rivalries will also form. College football is still in great shape.
What made CFB so unique was its history, traditions, historic rivalries. Has become nothing more than NFL light -- insipid, soulless, corporate. BIG-10 will be chagrined when USC, OR crush it in football and UCLA -- now free of historic foil AZ -- owns it in basketball.
Old rivalries die new ones are created
Exactly! You are so right on the money.
There are going to be rivalries created out of this that young people born over the next few years are going to think are the greatest rivalries of all time.
Change is inevitable. People should embrace it and figure out how to get the most enjoyment out of it instead of crying about something that they cannot change.
Also, they can keep the rivalry by signing a long term contract to keep it. It’s not a big deal. WVU and Pitt just played each other last year and they aren’t in the same conference.
The PAC arrogance did itself in.
Colleges have never cared about the players. Theyve been pawning off their wins and NIL for decades now. Now the students get a piece of that and universities are tying themselves to the only way they can, through greed. And in the end, yes these regional games and rivalries will suffer, but in the end, thats all nostalgia and for old people to worry about. Most kids now adays dont care. Sure the Oregon St players care bc thats the only time they get noticed being at Oregon St. Ask the Oregon players, they only care about championships. Totally different mindsets.
Its all about the money. The schools cannot compete with the big two conferences unless they are members of those conferences, the SEC and the Big Ten. The ACC is going to end up going the way of the Pac12. The Big Ten is now a coast to coast league. The NIL money is going to explode for the teams in the Big Ten with national endorsement deals. The SEC has enjoyed the advantage of playing their games in the south with rabid fan bases, that won't change, however those players that came to LSU, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and even Bama may now chase the money in that coast to coast league with all the biggest tv markets. Better talent leads to more playoff games for more Big Ten schools, not just OSU and Michigan, which will lead to even better player league wide. The money is changing college football into something more like the Pros.
If the ACC implodes, where do you think those schools are going to go? Most of the bigger ones are going to the SEC or the B1G. You think the SEC is going to allow the B1G or BIG 12 to get the Miami market? To get UNC? Florida State? You think any ACC school, outside of maybe Pitt, is going to choose the B1G or BIG 12 over the SEC if the SEC wants it? The SEC is going to be fine. The SEC will take the biggest brands, and leave the other conferences with schools like Wake Forest and Louisville.
My prediction: Stanford and Cal joins the Big Ten this week (slight chance Stanford goes independent in football with an Apple TV partnership similar to Notre Dame's NBC deal); Notre Dame joins the Big East, going fully independent in football (no more ACC partnership) - which will undoubtedly increase the value for it's NBC media deal renegotiation (re-adding P5 rivals Michigan, Michigan State, etc. to its annual schedule); ESPN - controlling the media rights to BOTH the SEC and ACC - will look to consolidate its stake in college football and maximize profitability by allowing the SEC to absorb select ACC programs.
I don't think Stanford is ready for Big 10 after losing to Sac state they might join mountain west
@@LETHALHAMBURGER Stanford and Cal have already been added to the ACC for next season.
This will only be worth it if out of conference games are all against big conference teams. If we’re going to a Big 3, going to a playoff where you can afford multiple losses and still get in, no reason an OOC slate should include Western Kentucky, UAB, and UCONN. Michigan *for example* should face Texas, Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech before conference play starts
Looks like WSU oSU and Cal failed to be pro active and gets left out unless they can afford being independent
Because of Larry Scott who replaced the Retired Tom Hansen after 26 years as a Commissioner of the then Pac 10.
Conference realignment has slowly been killing the game we all know and love. There isnt any reason why a conference should have more than 10-12 schools. With the Big Ten more than likely going to 20 teams, it will take one school 2 plus years to play every team in the Conference playing 9 Conference games a season.
I hope this is only temporary and that one day there will be a larger number of conferences. That won't be for many years though. The same networks saying they don't know how this could have happened are the same networks responsible for this.
Think of all the jobs that are lost because of this. THANKS A LOT B1G AND BIG XII.
Don't forget to also blame the SEC and ACC if you are going down this path.
It's all about the money real talk
Pac 4 should add Montana and Idaho so they can get back to their old PCC roots
Yeah, and maybe they can add some community colleges while they're at it 🤨
Montana isn't even D1 for football...?
@@julianjalani3198 they are D1 FCS. And you aren't getting the joke
Yes they are. D1 FCS and a well supported and successful program @@julianjalani3198
USC basically froze them out in the first place. That happened so long ago that you should frankly be surprised that anyone here got the joke.
Is the acc going to stay the same?
🎼The times they are a changin. The game is not played the same, so the landscape and traditions will change as well. I've been around a long time, college football is better now than it's ever been. I cherish the game of the past but as a cherished memory.
CAL and Stanford is next to go
I have zero issues with all this conference movement. At the end of the day I want to see better games. I want to see Clemson play Texas or USC during the regular season. For example have you seen the schedule for Georgia. A big fat joke. Three of the first four games are a joke. UT Martin, Ball State and UAB. I understand these schedule are made a few years ago, but first game of the season should be vs a good team. At least next season they open vs Clemson. If this conference movement can help with this I have no issues.
It's just sad how far College Football has fallen.
College football thank they are NFL,; NFL has indoor football stadiums & don"t worries about injuries everybody being paid
It's all about 💰
ACC get Stanford, CAL, WSU and OSU and whomever else wants to play. Shoot, I mean every body else is gonna be travelling. So we know colleges don't care about the environment with all of this new travelling. College football will go by the way of the NFL. They are already paying them like they are doing work. No more regional clashes. I am not sure about these new moves...but I like this new First Take August 7th, 2023...no loud noise/shouting or takes about how good someone looks...yet...thank you.
Why are they acting like there aren’t rivals in different conferences that play each other every year
Florida teams
Utah teams
New Mexico teams
I’m just saying they will keep the tradition this isn’t that crazy
The only thing that is a bummer is the rose bowl I hope they move it to the big 12 winner
They could still play those games. I think it's a convenient excuse to back out of the game by blaming it on Conference Realignment when other teams have rivals in different conferences.
The Rose Bowl should be the National Championship Game. Fight me!!!
@@kharilane1340 it’s called “The Grand Daddy of them all” you are 100% correct
It should either be the natty game or they should remove rose bowls conference limitations altogether.
If the ACC fall apart Clemson will go to the SEC
its all liv golf fault. everyone getting their bag now
Still 5 or 6 home college football games. Hopefully bring more $$$$ to school & state
College football will soon be 2 big mega conferences.
Nick Saban has become exhausting. UA has numerous private planes paid for by the football program.
Why everyone talking about the rest on the remaining Pac 4 schools to join the ACC like why??? The remaining schools should join the BIG12
College football and basketball need to unionize. They need to work out a revenue sharing agreement. A certain % of the TV, ticket sale and merch sales should go to each team. Then set a min and max pay scale. Then the GM and head coach sign players based on their budget. The labor of player should be made their market value. My labor should barely benefit me, but fund all these other sports programs.
Also require the student to take 8 credit fall & spring. 3 hours during the summer. The player pay instate tuition. End scholarship by giving paychecks.
People demand equal pay and benefits. Every team would get an equal share of the money that their team earned. They don't have a right to the fruit of someone else's labor.
All I see is that it is a step closer to finally deciding who really is a national champion
Could ACC be this week?
Be what?
Espn has no business discussing other leagues accept the sec and acc. There extremely bias
Except
This is rediculous. Teams should not get to choose which conference they play in. There should be 8 divisions geographically aligned and in addition 30% of the teams should be relegated down a level. It's obvious there isn't enough parody to have Iverson 100 teams in NCAA div 1 football.
NFL is hands down, far and away, unquestionably, without doubt, the better product. I stopped caring about college football years ago, and all these greedy decision makers do is further solidify what a good decision that was.
You'd be surprised to see what pushed this demise. "Ordo Ab Chao". Chaos only comes from one place and for one purpose. All roads lead to Rome. Where there is money, influence, and power, you can be assured that Rome has its hand in it.
Why didn’t this realignment pertain only to football? All the other sports didn’t need to change since they are not really televised.
Because football literally pays for ALL the other sports on campus.
A very small number of schools make any money from basketball. Duke, North Carolina and maybe a couple others. That being said, even those schools get a significant portion of their sport's department money from football.
Big 12 football has a lot of average teams, but NO BLUE BLOOD teams. Big 10 and SEC conferences are loaded with blue blood football teams. And even the ACC has 2 Blue Blood teams. Big 12 conference is by no means a powerful football conference.
It's funny seeing people whine about this.
College fb is dead to me now & I never imagined myself saying that. It's all about the money. FU Big 18.
To all you people thinking the Pac 12 or 4 can add teams to save their conference are dreaming. The Pac 4 is dead and will never be revived. Those 4 teams left are screwed although the MWC would be wise to add Wash St. and Oregon St. Stanford and Cal are toast the MWC schools don't want them.
There was never anything special about college football. It has been about the money first, last, and middle for a long, long time. That's why thye University of Chicago had the sense to leave the business (and it's a business, nothing more) way back in 1939. For at least 40 years - when coaches started making millions in today's dollars for coaching alleged "amateurs" - the charade has been to obvious to anyone with clear eyes. Around then, TV deals started their gradual path to greater and greater heights. Dinich fails to realize that the fact of the TV money (that she points to Stanford and Cal losing), the fact of ESPN, the fact of her career and the careers of her colleagues at this level are themselves the reason why this was all inevitable.
A money business from day one is rapidly changing in the pursuit of more money.
Can we please not label it "power" anything? Can it just be FBS? Power labeling creates a lot of unnecessary bias.
Not denying the power of such conferences, but G5 and P5 labeling was toxic af. :P
Maybe the PAC 12 should play the game as everyone else and take some of the ACC schools and try to snatch a couple MW teams. Might as well try to get Clemson 🤣 ( Jokes)
The Pac actually approached the ACC about this after the LA schools left. This was more in the form of a scheduling arrangement than anything…
…though I think part of it is actually Stanford trying to recruit Duke (and maybe UNC and Virginia) into an “FBS Ivy League” with schools like Rice and Tulane. Then maybe they go after Notre Dame, not that ND will accept.
An them 4 gotta find a home forsho... Or bring them school that have less than you Up". But just like society rich kept getting richer
I would love to see florida st. Miami Clemson louiville or nc in th sec. make it happen

The time is NOW for D1 football players to stike against the greedy leagues and networks making ALL the cash in this new fiasco. They CANNOT televise or play any games without you. Get your cut$$$!! I'll support you.
When the Super League was proposed in Europe, Manchester United fans stormed their own pitch to postpone a game in protest.
NIL being paid now kind of dulls any actions the athletes might take.
We, as fans, have to do this. But it’ll need to be crowds in the hundreds or thousands. And, sad to say, I lack faith that this can get organized by American fans.

Let the rest of the teams go down the toilet where they belong.
Haha fsu and Clemson are stuck in the acc until 2036 due to the GOR

Good grief, I’m sad seeing the demise of the wishbone. Watching Nebraska and Oklahoma battle it out was awesome but I adjusted. The day of equal shares is over and time matches on. Everyone will forget once the ball gets kicked and the clock starts. If you want nostalgia watch the Academies play.
Dude compared the wishbone offense , to entire conferences being dismantled 😂 … bro whatttt
All negativity as usual from ESPN 😂
Clemson definitely wants out of the acc.
Mike Greenberg is the worst
FSU and Notre Dame to the B1G!
I hate it for them but the pac 12 has been irrelevant for years now tho
Oregon State thinks the rivalry with Oregon is so special because without Oregon, Oregon State is insignificant.
Welcome to the Big Ten, Oregon and Washington!
GO BLUE!
Duck fans are so arrogant
@@alexamerling79 I'm not a Ducks fan.
This Duck fan thinks you’re full of yourself.
I know this is the economic outcome and I know UO has to do this to compete. But there’s a lot being lost here.
@@PCSPounder you would rather play Oregon State than Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan? Are you afraid of stiffer competition?
@@CertifiedClapaholicOregon State would beat the snot out of Nebraska, Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, northwestern, Rutgers, Michigan State, Minnesota this year. But I'm excited to see the ducks play those big time programs. Really excited for some teams to travel out to Eugene.
Get over It. Life goes on.
Business at its best. Capitalism at its best.
Why are people acting like it's the end of the world......change happens in college football all the time.....examples r the dissolution of the southwest conference, the big east conference, and the western athletic conference....and yet college football always moves on
