Just break away and let the rest of the country go back to what we once knew and loved

issuing a statement against the proposed sanity bill cements it - the B1G & SEC are the enemies of college football & its fans
We only loved it because Nebraska figured out how to cheat, and use broken and poorly thought out systems, like the juco system. Or lack of drug testing. Or no academic oversight. Or unequal admissions rules. I am ok with a bill but it will be stupid, and have loop-holes and smart teams will take advantage of it.

The SEC fell asleep at the wheel and the Big Ten came in and took over. Now the SEC has to basically do what the Big Ten wants

The Big Ten and SEC being banned from expanding and having to pool their media rights with the other 104 FBS teams doesn't make sense to me, those are both in the Senate bill atm, other regulations and trying to put a cap on fake NIL makes sense but at the moment the Senate bill also requires rev share contracts to go through CSC.

They should just do it like European football leagues. Promotion and relegation could be fun. Something like 6 conferences with 23 teams each and have each conference ranked 1-6 with teams shuffling in and out of each from year to year to allow for teams on the rise. Sounds a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

A super conference will form
SEC(16) + OSU, Michigan, Oregon, USC, Indiana, Florida State, Clemson, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, BYU, Notre Dame, Utah, Kansas State, UCLA

32 teams in tier 1. With four spots for promotion and relegation. Stop with revenue sharing and teams will have success based on fan base support and coach competence...teams that fall behind due to the former will be relegated and replaced with regional teams who are showing success in the lower tiers. So Colorado or Kansas could replace Nebraska if fan support, tv ratings, or play on the field is ***.

I'd be all for something like that. It's a brilliant model. Gives every team a lot to play for other than just national championships. And you definitely get in where you fit in with it. Keeps things fair and provides huge incentives. Pretty much checks all the boxes to fix what is currently wrong with college football.

Fan support and coach competence as the determining criteria for relegation?

Fan support can be measured in several different ways and competence of the coach is mostly subjective.

So you're going to take ALL the $EC but leave out Washington, Minnesota, Penn St and the current national championship Indiana.....

Dream on

Forgot Penn State, Washington is probably in.....but the leaving out has already happened and will happen again. The PAC 10 was gutted, soon the big 12 and ACC will be gutted and in the process people will wonder why WE are subsidizing Maryland, Rutgers, Purdue, Northwestern when they don't have a following for TV ratings or ticket sales. Vanderbilt and Indiana got "lucky" to begin winning or they would get dumped as well. There are clear financial winners and losers right now and there is going to be a super-league and then a 2nd tier of teams who won't be able to compete.

We are functionally in the 2nd tier but our fan base and financials guarantee we will be in the super-league. How do I know our team is 2nd tier quality? Well, games against first tier teams are guaranteed to be losses outside of Michigan state. High school has done this for decades. Certain teams play schedules that are suited to their quality. This will happen in college as well. Super-league will be more like NFL-light, teams that go 9-3 or 8-4 will still have a chance at the playoffs because the schedule will be much tougher. The 2nd tier champions could be promoted if their financials and winning are consistently top tier.

Diagree the 2000's and 2010's were awesome.

Man you're delusional. Nobody used the juco system more than k state after the big12 voted to get rid of partial qualifiers. Nice try
