I don’t know how many times this needs to be said but apparently several more.

If a “super league” happens it won’t be a joining of the Big Ten and SEC. It will be the top schools in those leagues leaving and forming their own entity.

Chris Fowler-Joel Klatt feels wild knowing how intense the ESPN-Fox rivalry is, but the two Colorado grads sound smooth together.

[Josh Pate @JoshPateCFB]

Greg Sankey going a full 30 minutes live with @finebaum is amazing given the circumstances

- Pushed back on any suggestion SEC/B10 have explored super league

- Presented his league’s case logically & effectively (even parts I disagree with…a staple for him)

- Said SEC has a responsibility to make things better

Fascinating interview

[Gary Segars @GaryWCE]

This stuff cracks me up. Saban was the best at developing players for the NFL. He set them up to make the most money.

Then Kirby got really good at it.

Now schools can pay more then rookie NFL contracts. Different scenario.

“What did he actually say that was hypocritical?” - @tylersiskey

“When he was at Alabama, I’m not saying he did anything that nobody else did, but that wasn’t a level playing field” - @NealMcCready

A LOT of people were very upset with Nick Saban’s comments to the Senate committee on Wednesday

I can’t wait for college football

🏈🤕 Everyone is talking about Malik Nabers’ knee "cleanup" surgery, but the public is completely misinterpreting the timeline.

As a PT, I dove into the peer-reviewed research on his exact injuries.

If you are drafting him at his current ADP, read this thread first. 🧵

“Every single person that covered the sport”

That’s the key difference, bud.

You COVERED it. I LIVED it. 😂

I never received a dime. Did others ever get under-the-table money? Wouldn’t be shocked. That went on everywhere. But NFL & championships are what got Saban top talent

[Will Stone @will_herb_stone]

And now for the spin off I am a little more excited about... with a database of ~6,000 players from the BCS+CFP era, you can now attempt to build the perfect CFB team.

“We had 50 players in the draft this year that were over 25-years-old competing against 17 and 18-year-olds...” - Nick Saban

Why’s that important? Well… here’s Will Anderson Jr. at 17-18 years old (left) versus Will Anderson Jr. at 25 years old (right) 😂

Is there anyone out there that thinks this is sustainable? Like at all.

REGARDLESS of what this dude USED TO make coaching, or what you think he did in recruiting…

Do we REALLY think that Teams spending $40 million every year, and that number will keep going up, is sustainable for the ENTIRE sport?

This is not that hard

[Matt Zenitz @mzenitz]

Texas Tech has been working on setting up a home-and-home series for 2027 and ‘28 against a premier non-conference opponent and has had communication with teams such as USC and Notre Dame, sources tell @CBSSports

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

Pete Bevacqua is absolutely correct about maximizing media value with a Super League (something he made clear he opposes).

One huge problem: powerhouse college fan bases are built to expect 10, 11, 12 or more victories every year. In this case, some big names are going to go 2-10. It's the same way it is in the NFL.

Do the fans stay? Losing NFL teams see drops in tickets and revenue. Georgia-Alabama is a big television event when both teams are good. If one, or both, are bad?

And why would major programs want a new world where they are almost assured to be less successful than in the past -- winning is also about donations, applications, alumni, etc.

It works in the NFL because the system is then set up for the worst teams to be advantaged through the draft (and scheduling). Eventually bad teams get good (it takes longer for some, i.e. the Jets).

College football doesn't have that. In recruiting and free agency, the best players generally go to the best teams (even in the NIL-era). More donations come in to the better teams.

So could a Super League really even work in college football?

The next time @tedcruz lies about college football in a way that magically aligns with the agenda pushed by @CodyC64, here’s why:
