It's wild how, in what seems like the course of just a few years, the CFB landscape went from: "these guys are here to get an education" and "I want to emphasize the 'student' in 'student athlete'" to blatant money grabs. It's always been about the money, but now no one is afraid to say it. And this amount of money is in 2022. What will this look like in 2030, or 2036?

To keep on topic: teams/conferences chasing the next deal reminds me of a cat chasing a laser pointer.

It's a great lesson.  NCAA with weak leader that just capitulated to the powers around the institution (P2/media).  Emmert slinks off with millions leaving CFB in total disrepair.

Here’s a good listen. Former Fox Tv exec Bob Thompson explains how the GoR is separate from the TV deal. As I said, the ACC GoR is put together by the conference only. The conference uses that GoR to present to the TV networks when negotiating a new TV deal. It show them solidarity and commitment. Not every conference has a GoR. Big 10 and SEC aren’t in fear of anyone being poached.

Also, hearing some chatter on the Big 12 TV deal. Apparently it’s looking like Fox and ESPN are going to have a bidding war on Tier 1 rights for the Big 12. Fox still has time slots in the afternoon and night. ESPN has their noon games and other slots too. Fox is also interested due to them currently not having any teams in FL. That’s a big missing piece. Sure right now it might only be UCF in FL, so how much does that move the needle alone? Right? So what brings more value? USF was on the Big 12 radar last go around. It could get real interesting. Just sayin’.

As much as both sides hate each other, USF and UCF have always belonged in the same conference.

The schools  and conferences are getting more money  while the powers that be want the fans to spend their money on the players .

Just like UF and FSU belong in the same conference, I guess?

The rivalry was supposed to be USF and Miami as Jim foretold.
