    Selling new franchises in a league that isn't making money doesn't work in the long run.

    So far it looks like the effort was unsuccessful.

    Reports circling regarding a draft of a potential Congressional bill on college sports

    I figure commercial endorsements are NIL by another name.

    Reports circling regarding a draft of a potential Congressional bill on college sports

    Fully deputize the Collegiate Sports Commission (or another entity) to enforce the settlement rules, such as requiring athletes disclose third-party name, image and likeness deals worth more than $600 and allow the prohibition of compensation that is not considered fair market value That's fine...

    Why are the schools able to hold them to the contract when the collectives cannot?

    Zakai Zeigler suing for 5th year

    They're OK to release in the aggregate -- or at least they used to be....I recall something like 99% of Pat Summitt's players graduating. I'd have to wonder about how honest schools would be about the number of student athletes who dropped courses.

    Relegation anybody?

    2004 - Miami of Ohio -- computer models showed them to be the #6 team in Division I. Pollsters had them around #15. But that was Ben Roethlisberger's senior year -- the next year they weren't that good (and neither were the other MAC schools that pulled upsets that year).

    Power teams only playing each other.

    But they too have 7 or 8 home games. They don't have as many out of conference rivalries.

    Yes....the university administrators aren't too bright.

    Power teams only playing each other.

    I made a slight math error. 8 conference games- 4 home, 4 away... 9th game vs. P5 (0.5 home - 0.5 away, or even neutral site) 2.5 of the remaining 3 need to be home games to make 7. All 3 at home makes 7.5 -- in a good year it will be 8 then 7 in a lean year. There aren't enough Vanderbilts and...
