"The SEC's attempt to save its season seemingly comes down to whether it can convince ACC or Big 12 member schools to form a one-season coalition. If that's the case, those schools will likely have to make concessions to guarantee the safety of the players, which may change the landscape of college football. "

Posted in another thread but, who knows what’s on the agenda here?

Rather than making this a one-year superconference, let's make it the permanent new NCAA. I can easily do without the PAC, B12, and all the G-5 crap.

What would be the goal in doing this? "Saving the season" is nebulous. How would forming a "super-conference" save the season?

It could be a precursor for the P5 breaking away from the NCAA.

Perhaps a way to add OOC games and more competition and also to have security by having all three conferences under the same guidance/leadership.

The SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has revealed himself as none other than Emperor Palpatine and is making a bid to rule over all of college football.

Why? I thought the goal was to play a conference only schedule? What does it matter what the other conferences are doing if you play a conference only schedule? I thought that was the entire point of it

Fine with that. How does it save the season that's supposed to start in less than a month?

Perhaps the SEC smells blood in the water. The Big12 and ACC likely would be heavily damaged and not survive as conferences if the season was cancelled. This is a hostile takeover by the SEC.

Supposedly the Big Ten is sitting the year out. Article says the vote was 12-2 in favor of not playing and that the announcement will come tomorrow:

Sources: Big Ten votes to cancel football season; no games for Michigan, Michigan State in 2020

Let men all join. Let’s go! Can you imagine the fans excited around the nation for this??

If they didn't survive wouldn't that be better for the SEC, monetarily?

It would be way better to absorb these conferences now seeing as how they would be the only thing on TV and reap huge profits from TV deals. We are talking about the SEC gaining all these new teams potentially.

Big external events have a way of speeding up things that were going to happen eventually anyway.

We've already seen that with WFH in the business/corporate world...why not just go ahead and create a superconference in the college sports world?

Wipe them out.

All of them.

It might make sense to take Texas and Oklahoma along with a team from VA and one from NC. But taking on both conferences in full? Terrible idea.

 

[Orange defense]

Let’s add all 5 conferences now. Let’s gooooo! Do it Sankey, now!

This applies here as well as most situations. I don't think football happens this fall, but things are moving fast, finally. Something is happening. I just doubt it leads to much football before spring.

I hope we can play in the spring because things are better.

If the end goal is to have unmitigated control over all of college football, then you eventually have to absorb every team.

Why is it terrible? It is putting teams that want to play and letting them do just that. I think you just don't want to see Clemson in your side of the bracket.

Or you work together to decide which schools deserve to have unmitigated control and reject the hangers-on.

 

[UTK]

Vols will add two more additional games in Oklahoma and Clemson lol

 

[Cmacsmokey]

Tennessee struggles to make it in the SEC as it is now why would you fools want to make it a super conference with more teams
