New Super Conference in college football (1 Viewer)

[Koya]

I thought the premise of this thread was that the Super Conference would be comprised of the strongest teams on the field with no restrictions on booster payments to players. But we seem to be making allowances already for tv markets. What's that all about?

Maybe I misunderstood the point of this thread... but if you are trying to create the greatest conference for college football looking now and into the future, you don't think that HUGE dollars could come in to both say, Rutgers and the league as a whole by not ignoring the single largest market in the nation?

It's not an allowance for TV markets, its maximizing overall revenues. If that's not the point, my apologies

Well, it probably wasn't made clear. So in my world I'm gonna keep imagining this being the strongest conference on the field of play. Admittance won't be gained by negotiating the number of tv sets you bring to the table. The only way in will be via the annual promotion. No slacking once you're in, either. Last place (the Penn State trophy) gets relegated. Dog eat dog.

Do you like Penn State?

Yeah, I'm trying to read through his subtle hints, but I'm coming up empty.

Ok, that's fair. I could make an argument that if you want to strongest conference on the field looking forward you'd want the most financially secure situation, but I'll let you go on with this discussion.

Unfortunately, just as would likely be the case in "real life" I have no interest whatsoever than say a very rare matchup that somehow is on at the right time without me having anything else to do since there's no team for me to really attach myself to as a NYer. Don't like Penn State and they are not east coast really, don't like ND, and they are not East Coast either.

FWIW, Penn State has a large presence in NYC along with ND. Rutgers even being mentioned as a NYC is a farce; they can't hold a candle to either PSU or ND. At best they'd be forth between them and Syracuse...and Syracuse is a joke in football now.

Jesus Christ, will you people focus? We're talking about a 16-team conference made up of the strongest football programs in the nation and y'all are going on and on about Penn State.

Don't want to hijack after this post unless it's wanted, but as large a presence as Penn State has, imo it's declined quite a bit, and still leaves a whole bunch of folks who are from the eastern seaboard completely out of the equation. If you didn't go there, you are not likely to have any interest in rooting.

Mentioning Rutgers from a long term strategy is hardly a farce... I've watched their games over the past few years, got caught up in some of the Hype and they have a large local presence... it's just never really come together. Personally, I'm a 'Cuse fan, but the POTENTIAL for Rutgers is pretty high imo. If they ever could compete for the national championship on a semi regular basis, the bandwagon would explode and eventually coalesce into a fan base, imo.

Ok, back to the current best teams and I'll stay out of the frey.

Yes I do. I think they're a strong candidate in a Tier 3 conference, with possibilities of making more than an occasional run at promotion to Tier 2. But that not why were here.

Suck it Colorado!

Texas

Texas A&M

SMU

It's OK, Nebraska doesn't want to be in a conference with Texas anyway.

Credentials?

Texas I can see. But, I am going to need more on SMU and A&M - I don't think they will make the final 16.

"Death Penalty" ring a bell? SMU did it better than anyone.

Pony Express is dead and buried - and they aren't coming back.

Is June Jones still coaching there?

They are going after Mike Leach. Craig James recommended him.

I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but Craig James killed 5 hookers while he was at SMU. Or at least that's the rumor.

I sense a backstory...
