@BlackBlessedLDS I didn't watch, but I've now started to see a TON of people exposing it for what it was. What a shame...

@moakes1620 While down 20 in the second half and shooting over 50%. Bam’s was manufactured so hard it’s not even funny

Bam scoring 83 on 43 free throw attempts isn’t good for basketball.

Boise State currently has 44 international student-athletes out of a total of 346. If this bill passes, they would have to have 10 fewer international student-athletes to stay under the 10 percent cap.

@BlackBlessedLDS “You shall have no other gods before me." Sincere question: does this not indicate that there exists other gods?

@AggShowYo The PAC wants to make the cut when FBS breaks from the NCAA in 2030/31. Inviting FCS schools does not get that done. That's also why they have chosen exposure over a few more million in TV revenue.

Help me understand something here. NDSU is paying $12M to join a borderline FBS conference. Sac State is paying $18M to join a FBS conference. You’re telling me the PAC wouldn’t have just added an easy $30M if they wanted to? Levels to this. Don’t get it twisted.

@Lueras4Joseph @ReaLitY_Siege @AggShowYo Counterpoint: They are looking at where Texas State COULD be in the future. Texas Tech went from mid to top 5 just by spending money. If Texas State continues to spend money, they could compete.

@ReaLitY_Siege @AggShowYo Well we invited TXST? Please tell me how that is a better add than NDSU paying 12M to join? Would have much rather had NDSU. I will answer that for you. We had to add an FBS warm body MWC had the luxury of adding the better program.

Here’s the breakdown compared to the PAC-12… MW will have 15 games on CBS/CBS Sports/Paramount, PAC-12 will have 13 (minimum) + the championship Both conferences will have 13 games on the CW. MW will have 12 games + championship on FOX affiliates. PAC-12 will have 22 games on USA Network. PAC-12 made a big deal about every game will be on national TV… MW has 40 games picked for TV here and 36 conference games for next year, potentially meaning some MW games won’t be on TV.

1. How was the communication on this botched so bad? 2. Maybe a hot take, but I don’t hate this actually. If only 1 G6 team is gonna make it (sad, but that’s the reality we’re looking at) I’d want it to be the best team, even if they’re upset in the conference title.

NEW: In a previously unreported College Football Playoff change, the Group of 6 spot in 2026 does NOT have to be a conference champion. It's just the highest-ranked G6 team, a change some G6 leaders didn't even realize until recently. Details: nytimes.com/athletic/70021…

@JeramiahDickey Is a 24 team playoff with all 10 champs ever going to be on the table? That still leaves FOURTEEN at-large for the P4 to load up. What would be so bad about this, other than they don't want a 2010 Boise State to make a run?

The system they built wasn’t built for us…it has been intentional. Speak now or forever hold your peace 🙏🏼 Nothing to be fearful of as they are doing it openly and we have a responsibility to those we serve and represent…that’s the job whether it is comfortable or not. We represent something bigger than ourselves! 😈
Chris Vannini@ChrisVannini

On the flip side, this change (from 2024) makes it more difficult for the G6 to get multiple CFP bids with a championship game upset bid-stealer. nytimes.com/athletic/70021…

@SSN_Pac12 I've been saying this needs to happen! NDSU, SDSU, Montana, and Montana State. Arguably the 4 best remaining FCS teams.

@moakes1620 @1BroncoBeliever @Apple You also get a year free of their AI Pro plan for gemini, etc. Plus the built in gemini features (like call filtering) is miles ahead of Apple and you dont have to pay extra for it.

But viewership is up and FBS has never been so popular…Indiana won so we are in a great place competitively 🤔😈 Professional athletes coming back to compete in college basketball to get paid. Endless lawsuits and more coming. CFP and P2 slowly removing G6 from conversation and at minimum pricing majority of FBS institutions out (only a matter of time ACC & Big12). Endless years of eligibility. Etc. Etc. What started as true NIL (which I agree with including paying SAs) has turned into something else. The runway for most schools is short…system is not sustainable and we are 💯 living insanity. The bottom is when you stop digging. Solutions exist like collective bargaining…would provide accountability and defined expectations and guardrails for all parties (agents, SAs, coaches and institutions). Federal solution won’t happen anytime soon IMO. The #1 difference between us and professional leagues is our “why”…preparing our next generation for life. We are doing those we serve a disservice and hindsight will be too late. ADs, commissioners, head coaches, college athletics fans, donors and alums need to be vocal. We represent something bigger than ourselves…a greater purpose. Take off the blinders. Leaders need to step up and do what is right. 🙏🏼
