@JonScheyerr @RedditCFB Ever industry has to make cuts to balance budgets. But no we can never cut any Spiers ever grow up

@RedditCFB I think part of what makes college sports great is that a school is represented in 20+ sports even if they aren’t big markets. Cutting sports is detrimental

Like 10 D1 schools are dropping Tennis, and the only way to watch the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is a fisheye lens on some courts but not others with no commentary. Maybe the revenue model would make more sense if the NCAA made any attempt to market it?

@MrBeavv You still going to left behind again no one wants you 2

Gould confirmed that Pac 12 Enterprises is already generating a profit and is paying schools already. This is huge for the next major realignment that will happen in 2030-2031. No other conference has this type of revenue generation. Pac 12 📈📈📈

@Bomb3r_CFBMafia @TBM_JY @Tim_Pernetti @premierleague They don’t deserve anything make the JV6 have thier own division and playoffs

Pretty good stuff here from @Tim_Pernetti .. CFB has always been predatory. At this point, political power will be the only thing that changes this narrative Those without power need to claim it back. Just like the @premierleague communities did against a football Super League politico.eu/article/europe…

Why are we trying to raid each other? American Commissioner Pernetti @Tim_Pernetti asks that question about ongoing G6 realignment. He believes that changing the discussion in order to build something different and more national could be a more beneficial way forward for ALL.

@jimmyhoffa85 @CultureCrave @THR No it’s being sold to the highest b with the government seal of approval

@CultureCrave @THR American culture is under attack …

Paramount has asked the FCC to sign off on the Middle East investment in the Warner Bros merger Indirect foreign ownership of equity interests in Paramount will be ~49.5% (via @THR)

@wilnerhotline F your hope. Make the JV6 have their own playoffs

The non-P4 conferences are aligned on CFP expansion - not the specific number but the premise of access. Pac-12 commish Teresa Gould: "Our schools are investing at a high level. They need to have hope."

@dotcoug @ImmaculateView Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

@ImmaculateView If the media must have a Top 25, even before the season starts, why can't we just have a 24 team playoff. Every team that wins their championship gets in. Then, the rest of the "24" get in.

So many sports media folks talking about why 24 is bad. With the current model of the CFP, I actually agree. Its like just bringing the entire top 25 and I think that leads to a rather poor opening round. What I dont get though is why I cannot seem to see a single sports media person beginning to make actual connecting deductions. They aren't blind, they have most certainly seen the NCAA releases about their committees working on the new subdivision system. Subdivisions do not play against each other in the post season, period. It is the prime defining aspect of them. So if D1 is moving towards having a new subdivision based around autonomy then its really not too hard to critically deduce that it would require a new post season of it's own. So it would appear as if sports media simply cannot think like this OR they have been asked to not mention this connection at all. They will do their job to turn folks against the 24 idea with this current model. It wont be very hard to do, it already seems to be the case. That will then be the excuse used to create an entirely different model. The split will happen and then the single large tournament will be turned into two smaller tournaments. It will just so happen that when you add up the number of teams in the play in games as well, it will add up to 24 for both tournaments.

@rpr_ratings @ImmaculateView Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

@ImmaculateView Here's my thing. If there is no FBS schism on the horizon, then I have no problem w/ expansion under 2 caveats: 1) every FBS conference champ is rewarded w/ a bid (like every other college sport) 2) there is a fix to the calendar to accommodate an expanded playoff

@Firstand16_Pod Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

24 is the right number here. 4 Big 10 4 SEC 4 Big 12 4 ACC 1 Pac 12 1 American Highest ranked CUSA/MWC/Sun Belt/MAC 5 At-Large with a maxiumum 6 teams from a single conference. Every P4 team with a 5-3 record going into November would still have a pathway. That's how you keep football relevant all year for as many teams as possible.

@RedditCFB Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

2026 may be the year we get a Feinbaum caller saber rattling for aerial bombardment of G5 cities to make room in the CFP for an 8-4 SEC team. 😬

Not Centel??

@CSG_MSU Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

It's simple really... •24 teams. •Automatic qualifier for every conference champ. •14 at-large bids. •Seed 1-24 based on resume. •Seeds 1-8 get a bye. •On-campus playoff games (reserve the marquee bowl games for semis if necessary). How have they not figured this out yet?

@CPoolReporter Let the JV6 have their own playoffs

In a vacuum, I don't mind the idea of a G6 playoff (could be fun, gives more stakes than a bowl game) as long as the best G6 team still has a spot in the CFP. And that seems to be what's being discussed based on the article. BUT a G6 playoff is also one step away from separating the P4 postseason entirely. And that, of course, would be awful for half the teams in the FBS.

@flugempire 32 team cfp here we come , just have one spot for the JV6

Brace for impact?

@sunnycapri @fleischman_noah @BooCorrigan CRY MOORE

@fleischman_noah Let’s hope so. Do better @BooCorrigan - find a good up and coming coach, not a skank like Will Wade. I found it even hard to root for my own team with him at the helm.#ByeByeWillWade

NC State AD Boo Corrigan: "I think Philip Rivers said it ... the Wolfpack ain't for soft people. We're going to go find a coach that understands who we are."

@Aaron_Torres It’s coming from people that care about the university A LOT MOORE than you do. Not your money, not your problem

LSU spending last 6 months: * Lane Kiffin contract: $91 million * Brian Kelly: $54 million buyout * Reported 2026 football roster: $40 million * Matt McMahon buyout: $8 million * Will Wade buyout: $3 million Would love to know where the money is ACTUALLY coming from in BR 😏

@slmandel CRY MOORE LITTLE STEWIE

In the last four months, LSU has hired both a football coach who left his team before the CFP, and a hoops coach who it previously fired, without having yet fired the coach it currently has. Good times.

@ed_hammond88 @awfulannouncing Save that same energy for having the JV6 do their own cfb playoffs

@awfulannouncing So, what’s the problem? All the power conferences want all their teams in a tournament and leave out the mid-majors anyway. Minus the automatic bids to other conferences just to appease them. What’s wrong with mid-majors competing in their own tournament?

The NIT is officially a mid-major tournament dlvr.it/TRWnV5

@JudgeSma @CFB_Signals CRY MORE

@CFB_Signals Let them go. They’ve been threatening and blustering for years. All the while destroying college sports through power grabs and realignment. Go be NFL Jr and beat the hell out of each other let’s see how that works out. Let the rest of CFB move forward

It’s clear the B1G & SEC are posturing for a breakaway unless the NCAA gets a limited anti-trust exemption. And they are right to do so. If the NCAA can’t regulate college sports then the B1G & SEC must try & save themselves.

@jjfuller72 Where is the extra money coming from from once the NFL hog eats first ?

Reading between the lines by the SEC/BigTen: "We're fine making 40% less than we could (with pooled rights), as long as everyone else is making 50-60% less than they could. Plus, our media partners (ESPN & Fox especially) are against pooled rights for some strange reason..." (they're getting tons of CFB/CBB content on the cheap right now relative to those sport's popularity & in comparison to pro-sports media contracts) Sure, I realize that there's more nuance to their opposition to "SCS" than just maintaining their current financial gap/advantage, and I personally think that the SCS goes too far in some areas, but getting the government to allow pooled media rights for college sports like they did/do for the NFL is something that could be done that would be the rising tide that would lift all boats.

@donaldeandrews @Clowfb Get a CBA or have REASONABLE enforcement details in contracts that every other income earner has in the “ free market “

@Clowfb All true points. A cap needs to be put in place and penalize those that don't exceed it. Like the NFL.

A telling passage from Louisville's letter on reform: "Without an enforceable cap, the current trajectory is clear: a small number of programs will spend whatever it takes to dominate, the middle class will hollow out, and hundreds of programs will be forced to cut sports, reduce scholarships, and abandon the student-athletes who depend on them."

@Grateful_Trojan @flugempire When they get spun off from Disney they will need all the extra cash they can get . Their DTC plan is not working no one wants another subscription

@flugempire The real problem is going to be ESPN. They are not going to want to give up full control of the CFP.
