Nu-Pac12 Edition
News (sort of):
Texas State #1 contender to join new Pac 12.
Sac State, failing to move up to FBS, is removed from Big Sky. Will play Independent on the FCS, while most other sports going to Big West.
Previous: >>149087311

UNLV is deluded.

They apparently think they are going to get into the Big 12

>>149297035
yeah how deluded they are to think they are on the same level as such historic programs like central florida and houston...

>>149297035
They are because outside maybe ACC taking from AAC or even Pac after their schools start leaving the P4 window has officially closed.
Not enough slots and there's number of programs who'd come before UNLV. Even B12 would entertain anyone from NuPAC before UNLV

Everybody gets one SOONERS medal

For me it is the Auburn Tigers, the best college football team.

>>149297736
Is it true that your coach is about to step down for health reasons?

Louisiana-Monroe's athletic director says Louisiana Tech's bid to join the Sun Belt isn't dead and discussions are trending in Tech's favor. Having an in-state rival pushing for you to get in is a good sign for them.
>>149298563
The Big West will be better for Sac State in everything other than football. Even if they can't move up to FBS now, they're setting themselves up as an easy option during the 2030 realignment.
As long as the Big Sky doesn't try something gay like prohibiting members from scheduling games against former members, they should be able to put together enough games with the FCS and DII teams in the region and some money games against FBS opponents like they already do. They'll probably continue having annual games against UC-Davis and Cal Poly.

ULM AD today said LA Tech is "favorite" to join Sun Belt. This is after the Mobile radio host saying they were out of the running
https://x.com/AaronsAces/status/1935812750610989472
Going by these two reports there seems to be some in-fighting between Sun Belt members over who should replace Texas State. Louisiana and western schools want LA Tech as the close replacement, eastern schools want a closer school and "new" tv market likely in the form of Western Kentucky

>>149301657
There were also rumors about Liberty joining, which set the atheists on plebbit on fire.
If they want to keep divisions, adding LA Tech in the west and then two new teams in the east could be a compromise. This assumes there's a team in the east division willing to move to the west division and that there are two decent adds in the east. WKU and MTSU on paper are slam dunks but there's some ugly history, especially with MTSU, that could get in the way. And of course the normal exit fee and media rights issues. That could be a plus for Liberty since they have God's money to pay their own way.

The fucking aggies are really doing it again

>>149302116
honestly I love to see LSU get cucked like this. Having a feeder high school connected to your college campus is so gay. It should explicitly be banned.

The Sun Belt could go to North and South divisions

South
ULL
ULM
LA Tech
Southern Miss
South Alabama
Troy
GSU
The other GSU

North
Arky State
WKU
App State
ODU
James Madison
Marshall
Coastal Carolina
Liberty or Middle Tennessee

This isn't all that different from the existing East/West divisions but makes sense for added member locations.

>>149302311
There's a good number of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_school#United_States

>>149301930
Yeah that's the easy thing, they can just add all of LA Tech, WKU, and MTSU (or even Delaware I think is undersold) and move the two Georgia schools to the west conference and that's all they need to do instead of deciding they need just one

>>149302908

They hate Liberty because it's evangelical Christian so plebbit's pet gays aren't celebrated there with parades.

>>149303189
I fucking hate those people, I'm not religious at all and I don't care about any of those schools. How do they handle Notre Dame, TCU and BYU's success

>>149303295
Sometimes they bitch about BYU, usually when there's some gay kicked out of school and it makes the news. They deny that the C in TCU means anything, while lauding Pope Francis for being gay friendly.

If the Sun Belt goes to sixteen members, going to a nine game conference 3+6 schedule would be ideal. Otherwise with eight team divisions, you play seven division games round robin and then only one or two teams from the other division, meaning it could be as long as sixteen years between an at home game against a cross division opponent. And that's not even accounting for any cross division rivals that need to be permanent. Four pods of four teams and other alternatives also could be considered.
If the Sun Belt takes three from CUSA and with UTEP going to the Mountain West, CUSA goes down to six full football members, meaning with Missouri State and Delaware joining, they will get back to the minimum of eight members. The American getting raided could end up making a AAC/CUSA merger more likely. Or maybe the AAC raids CUSA, once again putting them below the eight member mark.

>new CFB game video
>physics based tackling
I love how they spread this bullshit in every sports game they produce and yet it doesn't mean shit. Madden has had so many "physics based X" in their games and it hasn't been good since the PS2/Xbox era.

>>149312014
but they have 2k new plays that nobody online will use because they all run the same money plays out of the money formations and the CPU still uses the same 25 plays theyve been using for 20 years.

>>149312071
A nice change to discourage that shit would be buffs to defender stats against repeat plays. For example, after the second time in the same game they see the same play they get a stacking +1 to all stats for that play. Or maybe a ranked mode where you have to choose a special ranked mode playbook that rotates out money plays.

>>149312014
Same thing happened to FPS. The games felt way better before they added bullet lag and shot spreads and realistic physics shit. Good old halo 2 hitscan was peak fps programming. I pull trigger when you are in the crosshairs I shoot you simple as. This is all part of the epidemic of people who don’t even like games making games.

>>149312308
They'll never do it because they make an ungodly amount from the competitive online crowd. Forcing them to actually know about football would cause them to quit playing. They just want to run the same play over and over again while scoring every 60 seconds. Remember the Vision Cone? It was great and very realistic, so you couldn't just throw all over the field, you had to actually look in their direction. It was removed because the competitive crowd hated it and refused to use it.

>>149312448
Halo & Halo 2 did have god-tier hitboxes that just worked. I tried playing CS:GO countless times and their hitboxes were broken as fuck. I could shotgun someone that was standing still at point-blank range, and it wouldn't register as a hit. People would shoot behind me while I ran to the right and someone it would register as a hit.

Its kind of funny how a bunch of public schools in the south are excluding an Evangelical school.

Obviously universities are all run by liberals, but I'm surprised Liberty hasn't told their state governments.

>>149297016 (OP)
They should add Hawaii. I realize no one wants them in their conference because nobody wants to schedule conference games with them but they're a bigger name than any other MW team except maybe Boise State

>>149320373
You’re just mad you can’t afford to visit.

Unrestricted NIL is so fucking perfect people don’t even realize how perfect it is. You have this thing where teams who get humiliated tend to raise more money from boosters and recruit better. It’s kind of like the mechanism where bad NFL teams get to pick first in the draft but it’s a lot stronger. There is also an equalizing mechanism at play where boosters tend to only want to give as much money as is required “to compete” and we have not seen a super team emerge anything close to like what Alabama was doing pre NIL.

God the house settlement was such a retarded mistake.

>>149320373

Add sign stealing to the game. The more you use a play, the higher the odds that the other team figures out the signal and knows what your play is going to be.

>>149317756
Wouldn't be surprised if both end up resigning before the end of the season. Both have had legit health issues and both have milked the legit issues and added some of their own for sympathy.
Doubt Sanders' heart is in the game now that his kids have moved on. Freeze is simply a shitty game day coach and a significant percentage of the fan base hated his guts long before he even became their coach. He's good at recruiting and has a talented roster that could do great things but none of that changes his shitty coaching and lots of fans wanting a reason to be rid of him. If he loses to Vandy, he's gone. It's just a question of if he's allowed to resign with a small buy out or makes the university fire him for the full buy out. Resigning for "health reasons" lets him save face.

TCU broke ranks with whatever church that was a long ass time ago. Notre Dame is also “secular” in that it’s ran by fucking jesuits and jesuits are perhaps the most slimy group of subversive cunts on the planet and probably forward-facing customer service for the Illuminati and reptilian shapeshifting infiltrators. BYU are Mormons and already infiltrated and controlled by invaders.

If the Montanas ever moved up this conference would start collapsing very quickly

>Auburn University at Montgomery is exploring a move to the NCAA's Division I. Long a member of the NAIA, where they won twenty-five national championship, and had over 450 All-Americans, AUM moved to Division II of the NCAA in 2015.
>Part of the exploration will be determining if the school would be able to support a football program. On the other side of town, Alabama State University, an HBCU, plays in the FCS sub-division of NCAA Division I.
>No timeline has been announced for completion of the analysis, but the process typically takes two years.

>>149323227
Zero incentive for the Montanas to move up. They’d wind up losing a shitload of money like Idaho did when they tried. None of those schools have anywhere near the athletic budget of Sac State

>>149323488
FCS teams moving up to FBS don't have any illusions about being treated as equals or competing for titles. They're doing it to get a few CFP crumbs (all conferences get a cut) and to earn more money for taking P4 beatings. G5 shitters get paid more than FCS shitters for cupcake games.

Do we call them AUM or Auburn Montgomery, or another name entirely?

It's just like, it's just like, a mini... mall!

>>149323488
It is but not because meme schools are trying to get in but this superconference shit will never be able to compete against the NFL and you're removing the one reason it got an audience
Either we go back to divisions of old under one combined system or cfb dies

>>149323763
In the area, everyone says AUM. The few times I've seen them on ESPN8 or shit like that, the announcers used "Auburn-Montgomery". But it's been decades since I've seen them on tv. Think they were in the NAIA basketball natty long ago and that's why they were on. ESPN showed the name as "Aub-Montg" for the on screen graphics (pre-HD).
Like most commuter schools 99% of the students don't give a shit about the sports teams and wouldn't have any idea when or where they play. Never really understood why commuter schools try so hard to make sports work when often even the local news doesn't cover the scores of their games.

>>149325414
As much as I don't like blowhio state, when they played oregon in the regular season their quarterback was clearly down with a second on the clock the coach obviously called for a timeout and the refs just blatantly ignored this and let the game end and field be rushed.

>>149325580
I bet Jimmy Franklin hates it too. He has nowhere to go but down if he doesn't win the whole fucking thing. Shitty place for a coach whose thing is winning a lot of nothing significant.

>>149325648
they have to play @ ohio state again I'm pretty sure which will be yet another 24-14 type loss AGAIN regardless of how much of an unknown OSU is this year
everyone knows what Penn State is

>>149325580
Its also the fact that everybody is down this year. For whatever reason it feels like all the blue bloods are fielding young ass teams. But pedo state is old. Being old is really strong advantage and I struggle to pick anyone being a stronger team than them.

>jawja will probably the same dyfunctional offense and elite defense

i think i watched that game with you anon. are you thinking of the Kennesaw State vs Liberty Game? I remember the Kennesaw State fans rushing the field and then politely returning to their seats after the reffies told them the game wasnt over lol

>>149325885
YES

great game, liberty was like 5-0 going into the game too

>>149325878
ohio state had a bad oline last year (they just got their shit together in the CFP) and Pedo State still got completely mogged by them
looking at their schedule they look like 9-3 incarnate to me. @Iowa could easily be a loss, Allar is fucking terrible and they still have no receivers and lost the meme tight end who carried them

>>149325511
The teams moving up have negligible to no effect on the eventual split and sport decline we'll see.
It's about greed and it now being unchecked, and SEC+B1G thinking they can take the entire CFP payday for themselves, not realizing not only will they make two sets of national champions but that it's more team-based and a lot of the fanbases will be left out and will not support this when NFL has better play

>>149325933
Yeah but ohio state had an elite d line last year and this year I think pedo state will be able to gash them in the run game.

>>149326179
pedo state's run game is massively overhyped
they pump stats against garbage competition

>>149325933
Penn State got this WR in the portal, easily better than anything they trotted out at that position last year

>Those who create most of the product's value believe they can have most of the product's value
Shocker. But please tell us about how UNCC is the true source of value for /cfb/.

>>149323596
there are no "crumbs", that's why it's so retarded. I hate to use reddit buzzwords, but it is just complete dilution
the crumbs were being FCS teams and occasionally being paid 2 million to play @Alabama or [insert team here]. If you join the dilapidated shithole that is the pac 12 you don't get that money anymore

>>149326602
You seem to forget the product's value is mainly artificial scarcity of football from the NFL to have a feeder system, not "big" brands that get 8 million views like Alabama or Ohio State, and going against NFL it would get demolished.
It's weird setup is what made the value

>>149326727
>If you join the dilapidated shithole that is the pac 12 you don't get that money anymore
Yes you do. G5 teams still get paid to play bodybag games. That revenue stream doesn't disappear when teams move up from FCS. Utah State is playing at Texas A&M and at Vanderbilt this year. South Alabama is playing at Auburn. Missouri State is moving up from FCS to CUSA in 2025. Their first FBS game is at USC.

Another perk of being FBS is sometimes G5 teams can get a home game vs P4 teams, which would never happen for FCS teams. Tulane is in the middle of 2 for 1 deals against teams like Ole Miss and Kansas State, where they play on the road twice in exchange for a home game. Missouri State managed to get a home and home with SMU for their first 2 FBS seasons.

>>149327268
The main reason college football is popular is because there is an actual reason to identify with the teams. If you go to x school or you family is assocatiated with the school then the team actually represents you in some way. When fags identify with NFL teams that are just buisnesses located in their city its really retarded and cucked.

Also college football has rivalries and the NFL really doesnt. That makes for more intense games. And college football having way less parity than the NFL makes it possible to have insane upsets that blow everyones minds. DUDE VANDY BEAT BAMA shit. The NFL never blows anyones minds its a very boring product like that.

>>149327268
You seem to be arguing against your own point. UNCC is never going to be in the Big Ten. Stop wasting everyone time with your sandy vagina.

I don't understand this post

>>149325878
>>jawja will probably the same dyfunctional offense and elite defense
I could be wrong, but I think the offense will be better.
Stockton has a way better deep ball than Beck (and the team absolutely loves him), the WR room is looking way better than 2024's and it's still probably the deepest TE room in the country. RBs and OL are question marks, but UGA has a lot of monster-sized bodies on the OL that haven't even gotten snaps yet.

I still play Madden 08 on my old laptop with mods for updated rosters/stadiums/jerseys/relocations, I just can't be fucked with the new maddens.

>>149312563
The vision cone was fun but I only remember it in the old Maddens (pre 2014). Did they try and add it to the next gen games? It made playing QB realistic until your awareness was high enough that the cone was basically the entire field anyway. Players like Peyton Manning and Brady made it so you were basically playing without it on.

Axis Football has some of the best passing mechanics I've played with imo.

>It made playing QB realistic until your awareness was high enough that the cone was basically the entire field
That was the whole point of it, to differentiate between QBs. There's no reason why Seneca Wallace (who everyone picked because of his speed) with a terrible AWR rating should be able to see the entire field at once, just like a 99 AWR QB. It was an amazing feature, and EA chose greed over realism, just like they always do.

The problem is that the Pac-8 especially was also an academics conference (Sure Wazzu and Oregon State weren't pillars of academic excellence but they were still got schools and with Berkeley, UCLA, SC, Stanford and Washington they were as close as you could get to a semi-public west coast Ivy League. (Oregon is the Cornell of it all)
UCSD/SDSU is an unexplored rivalry that a lot of the few not ugly UCSD Alums could get charged up over. If you're gonna fill the conference up with minnows you can at least add a few decent UCs instead of a few Cal States, Utah's third university and and Colorado State (That's a real cope there) and Texas State (that's just pathetic they're not even close to the Pacific)
Boise State makes sense, natural rival to Washington State) but if you're rebuilding a conference make it in the image of the last PAC not just a lottery of the West's best non-big 5 programs from the 2010s.

I guess thinking about it now Bama has never won a natty with a black QB.

>>149351622
Might need a stats check on this, but I think only 2 black QBs have won an NC in the CFP era. Watson (Clemson) and Barett (Ohio State)

Has the trend of the Asst. Strength and Conditioning coach with a polo shirt 3 sizes too small and a goofy ass mustache passed? Don't feel like you've seen that much in the past two years on the sidelines.

FACT: Notre Dame is going to lose 3-4 games and still get into the Playoff

The big 10 only having 4 decent teams and also lobbying for 4 auto bids is so fucking scummy. Playoff expansion is cancer. We should have looked at last season and said that it was too big and we need to walk it back to 8 which is the perfect number. There are never more than 8 contenders

>>149360933
This is probably going to be pretty much an annual thing now. And then they'll get to face another Indiana or SMU, and win, and act like they're far better than they actually are.
You know, like they've been doing since the '80s...

>>149361295
ND and Ohio State can be auto entered into every Playoff for the foreseeable future. Doesn't matter if they have 3-4 loses, they're still getting in. When it expands to 16, it's all but assured they'll never be left out unless they have some catastrophic season.

Do you believe there is more advantage in playing a cupcake schedule and waltzing into the playoffs completely healthy or being battle tested by a hard schedule and growing as a team but also probably losing more players to injury?

>>149348115
>Oregon the Cornell
You’re genuinely retarded.

On god SMU has aura fr

>>149362079
Cupcake schedule, see Ohio State, who gets 10 free wins every year.

>>149362079
Cupcake with a loss a little later in the season that makes the team realize they ain't shit now that were in the 12 team playoff era. I assume you're talking about SEC and Big10 only because honestly they are all that matters.

>>149347784
Overuse injuries are easier to predict and plan for than Seminoles twisting your star running back's leg after the whistle.

>>149363002
Teams should be able to adjust their gameplan/playcalling on the fly. If your QB gets hurt, just switch to a run heavy approach. Kentucky switched their entire offense during the 2019 season after 2 QB injuries and ran the ball almost exclusively. Honestly, had the best offensive output since.

>>149363076
>look at Kentucky for how to manage things in the sport of football
lol nah

>>149363076
One dimensional offenses have a pretty low ceiling (see air raids or Michigan last season)

>>149363408
>>149363408
They were able to beat VTech in a bowl game and rival Louisville by simply rushing 50+ times. Definitely don't adjust your offense though, go with a 3rd string shitter instead of leaning on your high recruit RBs. Weird how teams used to always run the ball far more than passing and it just worked.
>One dimensional offenses have a pretty low ceilin
Yeah, it absolutely hurt Army last year, right? It certainly hurt GTech last decade when they beat Georgia twice and were one defensive stop away from beating Winston led FSU.

>>149361157
>There are never more than 8 contenders

>>149363584
Army's best win last year was Tulane. They played a complete joke schedule and got BTFO'd by the one legit team they played (ND). "This meme offense went 2-8 vs an above average, underachieving program" isn't the flex you think it is. One dimensional P4 teams peak at 7-8 wins and an appearance in the OptOut.com Bowl. I understand that's acceptable for Kentucky's fanbase, but non-basketball schools expect more so they don't run offenses that are 100% running or 100% passing.

>Uh dude, Georgia Tech almost beat FSU in 2014, so just fucking run the ball every single time or throw it every single time no matter any other factor.

>>149364208
What was Army's record last year? Yeah, so being one-dimensional did work for them.
>One dimensional P4 teams peak at 7-8 wins
Says who? Again, teams used to be run first and did just fine. Did being run first hurt all those Wishbone teams in the 70s that won National Championships?
>they don't run offenses that are 100% running or 100% passing
Nobody said 100% run or pass, only you. Even Flexbone teams pass the ball 20% of the time on average, more if they have to.
>>149364419
Never said every single time, but cool strawman. Want to try again without the fallacy?

Kentucky shifting their offense because they suck to run heavy is absolutely nothing like Army and Paul Jonhson era Georgia Tech (he got fired by the way) whose whole system is the option offense. What the fuck is even being argued here?

Did anyone got that ref falling off on the College World Series?

>>149364498
>Army
Anon it's not really a written rule, but we only entertain shitter G5 talk here in the context of conference realignment. We don't actually talk about them seriously when it comes to actual football matters. Put this in your notes for the upcoming season.

>>149364684
They had both their QBs out with injuries, that's why went with a run heavy offense.
>Army
>whole s ystem is the option offense
Not even close. They ran QB Power, QB Follow, etc. far more than anything else because Daily was a tank. The Flexbone has evolved since Paul Johnson left, mainly incorporating a lot more called runs instead of the traditional option or triple option. The standard FB dive still dominates the playcalling for Air Force.

>>149360933
>>149361295
In all fairness to the Irish, they did beat my Dawgs and played the bucknuts closer than anyone else did.
>>149364684

Which didn't work out very well for them btw

>>149363076
>Kentucky switched their entire offense during the 2019 season after 2 QB injuries and ran the ball almost exclusively. Honestly, had the best offensive output since.
Pretty sure their 2021 season with Liam Coen as OC & Levis at QB was better

>>149365873
>played the bucknuts closer than anyone else did
You mean besides Michigan & Oregon, who beat them?

>>149365913
Levis was a shit QB for Kentucky if you actually watched the games. He was 61st in AY/A and had the 7th worst Interception % in all of college that year.

>Army, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech

Your "Dawgs" had a whole month off and were ice cold as a result. They didn't look anything like the team we saw in the regular season. Same thing happened to Oregon. The bye ended up hurting the top teams instead of helping them. Georgia destroys the Leprechauns if they had also gotten a warmup game 10 days prior like what ND got..

>>149368242
>They didn't look anything like the team we saw in the regular season
Perhaps that had something to do with their QB injury

>>149368114

We probably weren't winning that game either way. Both of our tackles were getting their asses kicked all game and the bad WR room was still clearly an issue.
>They didn't look anything like the team we saw in the regular season.
I disagree. It looked eerily similar to our game against Georgia Kek.
>Same thing happened to Oregon.
Idk what the fuck Oregon's problem was. They and Tenneshit came out with absolute retard-tier gameplans against anOSU. Texas and Notre Dame at least seemed to understand what they were up against.

>>149370131
I think he has changed his mind on the small fag reciever trend too. I think last year having zero running game against jawja and ohio state might have made him wish to at least have a good screen game he can go to. The only reciever texas is even trying to recruit right now is Finley, a 200 pounder. And they picked up Mosley in the portal who is a 6'2 200 pounds as well. Ryan Wingo weighs like 220 right now. Besides Deondre Moore in the slot I can see them playing nothing but big receivers next year.

>Have an 8-4 season where we only win one rivalry game
>Billy convinces our inept athletic director that is good enough to keep him another year.

>>149388477
Where is he at with his current contract?

>>149388524
Year 4 of 7. His buyout ls like $20 million and that was the only thing saving him last season. I would support promoting him to athletic director because he is clearly a better negotiator than play caller. Oh yeah, he insists on calling all the offensive plays because he thinks he's the second coming of Spurrier despite having only like 5 plays.

If we go 2-10 like our friends in Tallahassee, he gets fired and replaced. That's why I fear a mediocre season more than a terrible season.

>>149388712
I'm a Tennessee fan and I think he's a pretty decent coach. I know you don't want to hear that, but it seems like, at least the games I watch and the UF/UT games, he calls a pretty decent game and make one absolutely fucking stupid decision. If he can clean up that one decision this year I think Florida will be pretty damn good.

>>149388789
Our game against (you) showcased how he squanders top talent and great field position with his predictable play calling.

You're kind of right - he's good at everything else. He's kicking ass in recruiting, develops well, the players love him. If he'd only let somebody smarter call offensive plays, he could become a Gator legend. He won't do it. His insistence on multitasking his way to victory will be his undoing.

The way shit works now makes it almost never worth it to fire your head coach unless he is a full retard because you get all your top talent looted, and your recruiting gets disrupted to the point where it’s like 5 years of down time before you can recover. Plus you are paying tens of millions of dollars in buy outs which also means your recruiting is gonna be hamstrung in terms of NIL

>>149388045
Then why did you not quote both of us? That suggests you don’t actually believe I’m him.

Are you trying to claim sarcastic arguments are just bulletproof, because if you even try to reply you’re autistic? Sounds like you’re trying to cop out of actually addressing that anon’s point.

The UF Athletic Association budget was $200 million last year. For all sports. So yeah that's kind of a lot to fire one guy and hope you can find someone better. Imagine you had to spend 10% of your salary to fire the guy who mows your lawn. The Almighty Boosters considered it too much so here we are.

>>149389158
Gators heard similar logic about our previous basketball coach. His replacement won a natty in 3 years. I know football doesn't work the same way but after that we consider our impatience to be warranted.

EA and Auburn University have announced that EA Sports College Football 26's theme song has been recorded by the Auburn University Marching Band. In the past EA used musicians in Russia to perform music for the game. Over the years, university marching bands have been enlisted to record their school fight song for the game, but the game's main theme was always performed by professional musicians, first in Russia and more recently Nashville.

If you go for this type of thing, Strawberry Pop-tarts currently have the Pop-tart Bowl mascot printed on them. Since it's a Pop-tart on a Pop-tart, it's a bit of popception. There are seven different designs of the mascot engaged in various bowl activities.
If you don't go for this type of thing, the mascot is still printed on Strawberry Pop-tarts, giving you something to write your summer philosophy paper on about the futility of choice in the modern corporate focused capitalist society.

>>149392637
Pretty sure every marching band already has recordings of their fight song they can use.

Very likely that most bands already have various recordings of the school's fight song but music publishing is very weird with how reproduction rights work. For some bands, it would have been easier to just make a new recording for the game instead of trying to use a live performance whose rights might be owned by the broadcaster of the game.

>>149396133
Just don’t use a live performance haha

In the past when the game was a smaller production, it probably was much easier for them to simply hire one band to do all of the recordings instead of trying to coordinate with a hundred or so university bands on getting recording that were cleared.

>>149369505
They added 5 DTs in the portal and have already recruited 3 DTs and 1 defensive end and they are actively recruiting more. They also took in 3 DTs in last years recruiting. The shit is getting silly but I can kind of understand that it might be the meta because the bust rate on fat boys is the highest. Meanwhile if you invest in a 4 star receiver they are almost always at least pretty good.

Oregon is getting absolutely rekt this recruiting cycle. They missed out on their top QB, OT, DL and TE targets. They have lost blue chip QB battles vs USC, Georgia and BYU so now they're down to their 4th option. He's a 3* they're trying to flip from Boise State.

I don't think it's entirely NIL. The competition is stepping up there, but Oregon's heavy reliance on the portal is hurting them in high school recruiting now. This will be Lanning's 4th year and he had a portal QB as his starter every single year including 2025's QB1, so you can see how that is used to negatively recruit against Oregon in these QB recruitments. They have highly ranked high school recruits sitting on the bench behind transfers at other positions too. At some point you have to show you can develop and win with the guys you sign out of high school instead of being a portal babby every offseason.

The only thing I'm worried about is Wisconsin's tough schedule.

Outside of that, we have a solid foundation for the team and have upgraded at nearly every position. Our offensive line is one of the best in the Big Ten and Dillin Jones looks like the next great Wisconsin running back, with new OC Jeff Grimes adapting a run first approach. Defensively, we have one of the best CB duos in the Big Ten in Hallman and Fourquean and have some great young talent at linebacker.

Wisconsin will probably top out at 6-6 or 7-5 this year, then follow that up with a 9-3 or 10-2 season next year when their schedule is even easier than the 2024 Indiana schedule.

this is actually a straight up low IQ argument that is fucking over college football.

For example, lets suppose your team has an 80% chance of beating the next 3 teams on its schedule. What are the odds that the team goes undefeated in its next three games? In your simple, retard brain the chance is approaching 100% but in reality its a coinflip. 50/50 chance of losing a game.

>>149417386
Still does not really hold water when you consider that Michigan winning was kind of anomaly. They are the ONLY team to win and not have a number 1 recruiting class or put the most guys into the NFL in the draft afterwards.

Recruting rankings still show SEC dominating. If we remove the michigan natty (in which there was a cheating scandal as well). The whole thesis that there is a major trend at play benefitting the big 10 goes away. One anomaly season and then Ohio state winning a natty. Ohio state was relevant before NIL too.

Some of Michigan's best players on their championship team had another year of college left. Look at how they did in the 2025 draft. 3 of the top 13 picks and 7 total draft picks. Anyways, perhaps the anomaly was the SEC winning as many championships as they did and now they just aren't getting as many lucky bounces or as much injury luck or teams peaking at the right time like they did most years in the 2010s and early 2020s.

Which kicks off WACky WAC realignment, with five members of ASUN joining the WAC, which will now take on the "United Athletic Conference" name. The seven schools remaining in ASUN are the non-football schools. This is similar to how the Big East-AAC split happened.
The realignment is happening with the blessing of ASUN as the main reason for not simply merging is this way each conference gets to retain an auto-bid into the NCAA basketball tournament instead of there being just one auto-bit for the merged conference.
Previously UAC was a single sport (football) conference but now with it being subsumed by the WAC, UAC will be an all-sport conference.

A few years back, the WAC said it wanted to move the entire conference to FBS. They believed this would avoid the "you can only move to FBS if you have a conference to go to" rule, though some thought it would be a chicken-or-the-egg situation where the WAC couldn't be considered an FBS conference until its teams moved to FBS and those teams can't move to FBS without an FBS conference.
The WAC, now known as the United Athletic Conference, might still want to move to FBS. If they can't, they're likely to get picked apart by CUSA after the next realignment round causes a wave of back filling that ends with CUSA needing to raid FCS again for more members.

Clempus?

PayPal has announced a deal with the Big Ten and Big XII to be the official student payment processor of those conferences. As allowed by the House settlement, schools can now pay players directly, or in this case, through PayPal.
The SEC will continue to have members schools use the traditional McDonald's bag. The ACC is looking to new member SMU for advice on handling player payments.

They probably wanted the american schools, but this is about as good as they could have done as far as conference rebuilds out west are concerned. Getting Gonzaga was a pretty nice bonus, their basketball is valuable.

The only way they can grow now is hoping that Memphis will entertain a split arrangement with the Big East, which will make their best-G5 status undisputed.

Looking like they'll get 10m a piece, on average. Not bad for them being the poorest 2 OG PAC schools + non-shit MW + good basketball school + Tx State diversity inclusion

>>149433193
Betting markets are objectively the best and most reliable indicator of the future that we have. People with skin in the game are more accurate than people with no skin in the game.

If you think the betting market is retarded then why are you not simply putting your money where your mouth is and collecting your free profits from retards?

>>149433884
Betting markets aren't made to accurately predict the future. They are made to maximize profits and that process is directly influenced by amounts of incoming bets, which aren't always coming from rational or knowledgeable people.

>>149433977
This is a profoundly low IQ take. It tells me you don't understand how the economy or the world in general works at all.

>>149434241
If Elon Musk placed a billion dollar bet on Colorado to win the CFP their sportsbook title odds would dramatically increase. Does that mean they became a better team than the teams they passed in championship odds and are realistically title contenders now, or does it mean the market is reacting to a big amount of dumb/emotional money?

>>149434311
One of the main reasons why markets are magical is because there is an evolutionary process at play whereby the smart betters get more and more money to bet and the dumb ones get less

Also the market would re balance itself. Everyone with a brain would rush in and take the other side of the bet

Honestly when I really try to put myself in the sons shoes I would do the same shit. You want to earn your success and not have anyone saying you got the job because of your dad. Especially in light of the shitter sanders draft.

I fucking hate how all the players of Florida are fair game for the whole country to recruit but when a Florida school tries to recruit a kid from Alabama our people say “well it’s really hard to pull a kid out of Alabama” like why in the fuck don’t we guard our players like other states do. This is also the case for Texas which is crazy cause they have the most in state pride of any state but for whatever reason they get looted of recruits every year anyway. What is the actual reason for this shit? It’s bullshit

>>149438801

>>149435379
Reduced travel costs is a big deal at that level. And they have built in rivalries with the other Louisiana schools. The poorer schools in the conference are the western members, so this helps them with their travel budgets more than it does the wealthier eastern schools. Getting over the grudge with WKU and MTSU that came from those schools getting haughty when they left the Sun Belt and adding them would solidify the middle of the conference.
Over in FCS, the new UAC/WAC needs to seriously consider a merger with the Ohio Valley Conference. They have similar footprints and similar schools. Just like they did with the ASUN, put all the football schools in the UAC/WAC/OVC and those without football in the ASUN. The sticking point is that they want to be multiple conferences to maximize their autobids into the basketball tournament. That's understandable given how much of a boost that is to their budgets but CUSA is going to start dipping into FCS again and those conferences are at the FCS minimum of seven football members. They need to band together for protection so they're not scrambling to find a DII school to bring up in a panic when someone like Tarleton goes to CUSA.

>>149439978

He's probably accepted that he's a dead man walking. He has to have an eight win season to save his job (seven wins if one of them is over Georgia or Alabama) and he can see that's an unlikely outcome. His defenders are themselves on thin ice and only willing to stick their necks out so far. The excuses of "Potato man ruined everything" are getting tiresome and do nothing to address the drying up of booster donations right as they're needed the most.
Freeze is going to ride out his last season to a maximum buyout. They might try to spin it as him retiring due to health concerns, but he's going to get his full buyout. My guess is they lose in Nashville to Vandy and that's when he gets fired.

Texas won the Director's Cup again. It was close but they passed Stanford in this final update partly thanks to their softball natty.
https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sidearm.nextgen.sites/nacda.com/documents/2025/6/23/24.25DivIStandingsFinal.pdf
USC also passed Stanford. The three schools are only separated by less than five points in the final standings which is crazy.

Arizona State is sitting at 4th best odds to win the big 12. If any of you are betting fags just take that one holy shit. They are gonna win the big 12 or narrowly lose to texas tech. I guarantee it.

>>149442580
I don’t think so anymore. I’m thinking it’s a combination of cutting since Christmas (down 40 lbs) and living with my parents since my job became 2/3 travel. Probably need to get down to 10% body fat ASAP and move out.

>>149441542
To be FCS is to be unstable. The value of getting a shot at the basketball tournament if you're a conference champion keeps FCS conferences small. Without that, we'd probably see a bunch of mergers, at least regionally. Since many conferences run near their minimum required membership, it creates instability. This could be "fixed" by having a set number of tourny spots for FCS conferences instead of one for each conference champion. Or maybe it would be better to say non-FBS conferences since not all DI conferences sponsor football. Either way, making it easier for non-conference champions to get in would reduce the incentive to have a bunch of minimum size conferences.
The FCS football playoffs do a better job of seeding FCS programs but that's because they're not competing with FBS schools for slots like in the DI basketball tournament.

>>149442732
I'm not a shrink or even a psych student but I'd bet on the travel being more of an issue than the changes in body composition. Too much travel can make one dissociative. As long as you get along with your parents, living with them actually should be grounding.

>>149433449
No, but it is a happy coincidence.

Texas State to the PAC12 must be the biggest realignment lift in a long time. Rutgers went from the AAC to the Big Ten but they were only in the AAC for a year and before that the Big East had been a BCS conference. Yes, the nuPAC isn't the P5 conference it once was. It's certainly a G6 now but it's the top of the G6 and Texas State is no Rutgers. Beyond being desperate for an addition full member that plays football, the nuPAC likely sees potential for Texas State to grow its program in ways it never would be able to do in the Sun Belt.

Sacramento State has retained an attorney who has successfully sued the NCAA for anti competitive behavior in the past. The school intends to sue the NCAA for rejecting their application to reclassify into FBS.

>>149434745
Regional games work better. ACC and BIG10 are burning money and hurting recruitment with coast to coast games

>>149443527
As a SBC watcher, its probably one of the best realignments. Texas State was far flung from the rest of the conference. Forced SBC East teams to pay even more in travel costs. Louisiana Tech benefits a lot from moving to the SBC, saving money on travel too.

>>149444551
Every conference wants a toehold in Texas but doubt the Sun Belt was benefiting from that too much. At most, they could have recruits show up for Texas State games when the team recruiting them was playing.
People sometimes say the Sun Belt should get one of the Florida teams to have an entry point into that state's talent pool, but FIU and FAU are a bunch of extra travel for questionable benefit. If they really want to expand, Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, and Liberty are the only real prospects that make some sense. East Carolina would be nice but it's too soon for that to be a possibility.
With this realignment, the Big Ten, the Sun Belt, and the MAC will be the only FBS conferences without a member in Texas.

>>149432238

This is what game thread fags want.

>>149445684

>>149441542
You make a good point, it's basically gibs for the Louisiana schools. No wonder I don't like it. I would have really preferred that they add grip and sip.

>>149445982
Still possible that could happen. They've shown interest in both the MAC and the Sun Belt but it just hasn't come together (MTSU's fault in the case of the MAC).

>>149443015
Could be but I like it actually. A lot of the stress of travel comes from paying for things or having to decide on the best deal for everything so you don’t feel ripped off, but I don’t have to bother with that. Everything is taken care of for me.

>>149443527
They are the right move
Growing school and large school who is getting into football, new market, not expensive to get and they can probably bully them into a reduced share.
PAC’s issue is there is a pretty clear top half (WSU, OSU, Boise, SDSU) in terms of schools in the conference and that is an instability if realignment comes to them

>>149445078
The SBC doesn't need a Florida team. Adding ECU to the east and LA Tech to the west would bolster the mid-major market in the deep south and mid-Atlantic.

>>149443015
Stanford, UVA, Cal, and Georgia Tech will all be in a permanent downward slope due to coast to coast travel. Why would a recruit with a 4.0 GPA want to sabotage their academics like that? I predict the Ivy Leagues will benefit from the recruitment bump, especially in Olympic events

>>149445078
Word is Sun Belt wants ECU and UAB specifically, but that’s another 5 years down the line to see how much the ACC collapses and who they pick up

>pokes fan in oklahoma
>the team will suck this year
>tulsa will probably suck this year
>even the sooners will suck
At least we have the Thunder?

>>149446888
UAB would be an awful addition. They'll look for an east coast team to balance the divisions. Rumor mill is for ECU, as it'll be easy travel for SBC East teams.

I could see UAB joining if the ACC falls apart and picks up the more successful programs (JMU, App State, Coastal, Georgia Southern)

>>149443527

He's really not that bad. The offense in 2023 (Bobo @ OC) was insanely good and UGA competes for the natty if they didn't catch the injury bug towards the end of the season.
2024 always had the potential to be a disaster on the offensive end. The OL and WR rooms' depth finally bottlenecked from poor recruiting in the 2021-2022 cycle. Rara Thomas and Colbie Young doing stupid shit off the field & getting suspended didn't help, nor did 3 out of the 5 starting OL getting injuries during the season.

Texas State was the number one most popular party school in the nation, but they changed their name to Texas State after A&M said fuck that and their reputation tanked as a result (which is what they wanted since no professor type wants the reputation of a party school).
