All of these long term games are going up in smoke. Anything that is on the schedule beyond 2025 is going to get renegotiated, bought out or cancelled.
15 minutes after the expanded playoff is finalized the next generation of upper tier college football is going to announce that what’s left of the G5 is going to get checks buying out their OOC games and made for tv match ups of former P5 are on the books. Get ready for scheduling based on perceived fan interest from last season. Get ready for set day and time inter conference match ups like college basketball like Big Monday. Big 10 v Big 12 challenge at 9:15 pm Saturday night but spread out the whole year. ACC vs SEC. Things like that. Based in whole or in part on where those teams finished the previous season.
The sky isn’t falling but knowing that we will be playing people like Washington seven years in advance is over.
