@CALLMECAM_28 @mode_bruh76744 @pubity @asha_shar They still have some senior leadership Josh Sawyer still there and brought back Tim Cain (a lead creator of Fallout series). I'd give them one more chance on a proven IP like Fallout, before gutting a studio like that.

@mode_bruh76744 @pubity @asha_shar True but Obsidian does still have vets from New Vegas which is rare. They also have a chance to redeem with a proven IP. Also, Obisidan has shown that they are capable of making games quickly which Fallout desperately needs. A good Fallout game can prove their worth as a studio.

@229SouthFlorida @DoctorSoFlo Who is "yours" we're neutral & follow many schools. Including USF athletics. I guarauntee on scale UCF's is larger height wise. USF's appears larger due to the smaller stadium stands.

@JakeCrain_ Sleeping on Womens's hockey. High level play & they are tough.

[Rivaled @RivaledMedia]

@TheWildUte People undervalue Rice too much. Rice is a large market, rich alumni and gives them more educational push to lure back in schools like Cal/Stanford. They are also investing more into athletics and a sleeping giant.

@MattHayesCFB The ACC seems to survive each time. You wonder when their luck eventually runs out.

@BronSznz @spacegang30 Curry also averaged 26 ppg, nearly two steals a game in 2015 NBA finals. Iguadala got the Finals MVP for literally guarding Lebron but had lesser stats. Many make the case that Curry deserved that 2015 finals MVP more. 2017 Finals Curry averaged 27 ppg & 2018 Curry had 28 ppg.

[Rivaled @RivaledMedia]

@BronSznz @spacegang30 LeBron fans stay on the same script: devalue Curry’s 2015 & 2022 rings without KD, label Draymond & Klay as basketball gods, dismiss every Lebron Hall of Fame teammates or teams like Miami Heat with x2 HOF scorers & HOF role players like Ray Allen. Same script everytime.

@RossDellenger ESPN can't stand not having a monopoly on college football

@CSOonX @On3 @Brett_McMurphy The Big Ten introduced the 24-team playoff first btw.

[Brandon Marcello @bmarcello]

Every power conference other than SEC now publicly supports 24-team CFP. SEC meetings in 2 weeks are big.

"We'll see what comes out of SEC meetings -- and Big Ten meetings and Big 12 meetings," says ACC's Jim Phillips.

He says convos w/ SEC's Greg Sankey "have been really collaborative" and "positive."

@walkonredshirts Redbird owns a quarter of Paramount Global & CBS. This deal gives them early relationships before the next TV deal. Those that take the money will lose out a portion of their next media revenue. The $15-20 mil provided to Big 12 by Redbird is an investment on future relations.

@tateornator @FLTeams College football stadiums are massive & some of the biggest stadiums in the world. The NFL’s largest (MetLife) holds 82k & two of these are NFL venues with right around the average NFL stadium capacity.

[Rivaled @RivaledMedia]

@MrBeavv Your math is off. Also Houston + TCU legacy wise were in the SWC before considered to be at one point a premier conference in college football. This has happened before to "power" teams being demoted. Oregon St + WSU have small markets, lacked sustained success & now you're here.

.@TheCW lands a streaming home inside the @ESPN app, adding 800+ hours of sports content.

Strong signal that partnership and aggregation may be winning over launching more standalone apps.

The Pac-12 unveiled a new logo ahead of its July 1 relaunch, marking another step in the conference’s rebuild.

The rebrand comes as the league adds 7 new members while retaining the Pac-12 identity — with the “12” positioned as representing its eras, “with room for more.”
