@PeteThamel @DanMurphyESPN @flugempire interesting.

@RossDellenger Wait wait wait, line of credit? So more debt further on down the line?

Shots fired at Texas Tech? Texas' Steve Sarkisian via @AnwarRichardson: "There's a team in our state in another conference w/a schedule that I would argue if I played w/our 2's & 3's we could go undefeated & they’ll probably make the CFP this year” 💀

@flugempire Uh oh

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

The rot is from within. The NCAA isn’t the problem. The College Sports commission isn’t the problem. It’s the schools constantly trying to break the rules while simultaneously whining my and complaining about the lack of rules. They wants rules for thee but not for me

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

I think we can all agree the system is broken in college football. But if we want to fix it, we have to be honest. A substantial part of it is rooted in the wealthiest teams doing everything they can to circumnavigating the rules. CFB won’t be fixed until we solve this problem

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

Really good points made here. Sometimes I think we forget the NCAA is actually run by the schools…

[Dan Wolken @DanWolken]

Conversations about an SEC/Big Ten breakaway from the NCAA are more real than they’ve ever been. But given how badly those two leagues have mismanaged self-governance in the NIL era, it’s not a credible threat.

@DanWolken @RossDellenger @YahooSports @flugempire interesting article on why this could be a disastrous move

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

If I remember correctly the MWC promised UNLV and AF a lot of money in order to keep them, with an exit clause if the MWC to pay them. And I thought most, if not all, of the money was coming through exit fees. So what happens in a settlement where MWC can’t pay full amount??

[Jon Wilner @wilnerhotline]

Equal split is ~75 million. If 100m+, big win for MW.
If 50m-, big win for P12.

Settlement announced six weeks after judge compelled MW to turn over presidents' communications in discovery and one day before discovery hearing

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

Idk if a 24 team CFP is the answer. But seeing ESPN and SEC suddenly start caring about the “integrity of the game” is extremely ironic and suspicious….

@flugempire Second annual weenie 500?!

Major bombshell from @Brett_McMurphy earlier today stating, ND - ACC partnership WILL end at some point. When it does, can ND survive as a total independent? Would B1G, SEC, or XII be willing to do a similar partnership? If not, does ND do the unthinkable and join a conference?

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

@EdLawDude Lawyers always win, even when they lose

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

Kinda feels like the dreaded “vote of confidence” to me, but I also could be pessimistic in my view

[Brett McMurphy @Brett_McMurphy]

NEW: Notre Dame's ACC relationship has always been tenuous but Irish AD Pete Bevacqua said “it’s never been stronger”

ACC ADs & coaches feel differently. An AD told @On3: “There's a widespread perception that we're all getting used & we're sick of it.”

@ramblinroundup @CalAthletics @theACC What was Cal making previously in the Pac-12 ?

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

@rltsports @WinterSportsLaw @mckenzielaw Wait does the XII still own the rights to red river or was that settled when they left for the SEC and now the SEC owns them?

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

@flugempire What

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

For context, I believe the SEC will bring in $46.2 M of credits from the 25-26 NCAA tournament for having been in 22 games (assuming the price per credit is about $2.1M)

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

I know everyone is against expanding the NCAA tournament, including me. But hear me out; what if by expanding, and subsequently increasing the value, it makes it harder for conferences to break away from the NCAA by increasing their buyout for the tournament?

[CFB+ @CFBN_Plus]

While CBB and the NCAA tournament doesn’t bring in the same kind of money football does, it still brings in non-insignificant money. Is it worth spending millions of dollars, which schools are already tight on, to leave and have no alternative or substitute for the revenue lost?
