Posting memorable and impactful college football games that would’ve been just another forgettable crazy game that fades out of memory with a 24 team playoff

@valleyofthedogs @CFBAlerts_ TCU and North Carolina open their season this year in Ireland. Multiple random midwestern teams have done the same the past few years. American football simply isn’t popular yet in these other countries. It has very little to do with the teams/brands.

@SavingCFB @CFBAlerts_ Any school in America that isn’t well-known internationally won’t do well. They can’t tell the difference between Iowa & Idaho or Arkansas & Kansas. American schools aren’t as popular as whatever they have in their country. This isn’t the pros here. It’s college football.

NC State and Virginia have cancelled their Week 0 game in Brazil and will instead play it in Charlottesville as a Virginia home game 👀

Everyone accuses the B1G and SEC of wanting to form a superleague, but every group that has pitched super leagues the last few years have gotten a huge no thanks from those two leagues and all the super league support has been from those in the ACC, Big12, and G6
Ross Dellenger@RossDellenger

Ted Cruz says the SEC & Big Ten “want to form a super league.” But Tony Petitti rebukes that as “fabrication.” The Cruz bill marches on without support from two leading stakeholders, now in a fight with US senators. “A first in modern political history.” yhoo.it/4xqw1W7

@CFBAlerts_ Damn. You mean to tell me nobody from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro was excited for a matchup against two schools they’ve probably never even heard of?! Unless you’re Harvard or maybe even Yale, nobody’s impressed by watching a school called “Texas Tech” or “Northwestern” play.

@lo9406 @andysparks78 @JakeBequette91 There technically wouldn’t be a law limiting it… the law would allow a commissioner of college athletics set a limit on what an individual program can spend on wages, not how much an individual player can make. Just like many other sports leagues.

@andysparks78 @JakeBequette91 There’s laws that limit how much auto manufacturing company managers make that are similar to the laws they’re trying to implement to limit how much college athletes can make?

Boomers love capitalism until the kids get rich. Steve Spurrier was the first coach to hit a $1 million per year salary in 1996. Saban made over $11 million in his final year at Alabama. Now that it’s finally the players’ turn to earn, the boomers start sounding like AOC!

NEW: Nick Saban detailed how much Alabama’s NIL collective spent every year for the past five years in Wednesday’s hearing about the Protect College Sports Act. (via CommerceRepublicans/TT h/t @whalexander_) on3.com/news/nick-saba…

@SkoldenDomer @DouglasTS @RossDellenger Indiana didn’t even have a top 30 talent roster. To act like they won because of some massive spend vs an incredible job of coaching and development is an entirely disingenuous argument with no evidence other than Mark Cuban being a celebrity. Every P4 program has billionaires

Without Congressional action, Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua says a "super league" is inevitable. "You’re going to only have a small number of universities who can invest to field a nationally competitive football team."

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 People don’t tune in when wins and losses don’t matter. I already proved this with college basketball but you keep moving the goalposts because “theyre different” so I’m not gonna argue with you

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 It seems appropriate you want to end this discussion after what you just said in that first paragraph. So in your mind, people aren’t going to tune into games that have playoff relevance because the amount of losses said team has? It’s clear you have no clue what you are saying

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Adding 8-4 Iowa to the playoff is going to prevent people from tuning into regular season games of teams they’re not fans of because those games are no longer significant. It’s clear you don’t care about or even want a high quality regular season, have a good day 👋🏻

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 One also plays13-15 games while the other plays around 40. One also has to go against its professional counterpart nightly, the other not nearly as much. You are delusional to think adding 5 more playoff matchups is going to prevent people from tuning into good matchups reg szn

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 The sports are different because one has 13 person rosters and the other has 105 team rosters. Talent is more evenly distributed and basketball games have more randomness than football None of that negates the negative impact an all-inclusive playoff has to their regular season

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 It’s also thee professional sport in a country that doesn’t have near the options we do in sports as a whole. It’s the nfl over there. My problem isn’t you comparing CFB and CBB. It’s stating the leagues are different when it’s convenient to your argument.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Okay fine I’ll compare it to the sport with the highest ratings on the planet. The English Premier League plays 44 games with NO POSTSEASON AT ALL, it’s on 2-3 nights/week from August-May and dominates any American League from a viewership AND tradition standpoint.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 You admit they are completely different. WTF do you mean what can you compare them to? CBB teams play almost 3x the games. It’s that scarcity in football that helps contribute to those ratings. CBB can’t compare because it’s on every night from Nov until March.

@YahooSports Key problem, one that CFP of 24 solves best. Just eliminating CCGs is non-viable due to loss of $$. CFP of 16 doesn't add enough. Like the size or not, CFP of 24 works best.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 No it’s because the games don’t have any bearing on the season. You can lose almost half your games and still make the sweet 16 like Texas just did. Saying that I can’t compare the two most popular college sports is outrageous lol wtf do you want me to compare it to?

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 You admit it’s two different sports. One of the big reasons CBB ratings aren’t grand is because there are 30+ games. A team can literally play 3 regular season games in 7 days. Comparing the two isn’t similar.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 In one breath you bring up how it’s hurting the regular season in basketball and in the next breath you say they are different sports. Like come on dude, it’s not hurting the regular season. If anything it gives more team chances which will help ratings.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 That’s not going to kill ratings, if anything that’s likely going to drive them up. And the committee subjectiveness loses its power the more teams that are in. I mean Miami was the last team in and made the championship game.

@blinkinriley What does more games have to do with the date of the national championship? If anything expansion makes this more likely right? Why not just fix the schedule rather than double the playoff field?

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 March Madness is certainly unmatched as one of the best postseasons. But basketball and football are different sports. And college football is the best regular season in American sports. I don’t want to ruin that for a few more mediocre teams to get into the postseason

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 I think playoff implications whether it be to make it or seeding won’t fade anything.A breakaway would fade interest. College bball has 30+ games. College football is only guaranteed 12.That’s a huge difference.While NCAA tourney is still thought of as one of the best postseasons

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 I think national interest will fade for games outside their region without playoff implications on the line. College basketball still has good matchups in the regular season but it’s pointless. Everybody makes the conference tournament and every contender makes March Madness

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 I honestly get they don’t want to have to pay for more shitty matchups/games. But I don’t see how adding even 10 more teams in the postseason hurts their massively successful ratings boon they had for those 13 weekends. As long as matchups are there, they’ll still get ratings.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Fair. ESPN still owns the most valuable properties. Imo they’re simply trying to protect the value of their much greater catalog of content which is 13 already negotiated weekends of regular season football plus multiple conference championship games

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 Yup my apologies, I misunderstood. Only the new games go for bid. I was thinking the whole thing goes up if it expands past 14. My mistake.
