That’s the difference between the Las Vegas Bowl and the Rate Bowl. Vegas would have paid enough to cover the band traveling.
Although, we should get enough from the B1G bowl revenue sharing to pay for the band. It’s a bowl game and Coyle should pony up!
Tony should share some of those ‘massive’ SI dollars with GH, or at least buy GophersInIowa and GopherBlood777 a beer!
I did enjoy Tony’s SI article as it beat the heck out of those AI summaries they tend to use.
Having 12 teams certainly makes sure the real top 4 teams are in (sans rankings), which is what really matters. Teams ranked below 8th (probably 6th) should just be happy to be in the conversation.
If Taylor was a guaranteed every game player next year, I’d be okay with Ijeboi leaving. But Taylor is not a guarantee and Ijeboi will keep getting better.
I think the perception that the SEC has more marketable matchups has a lot to do with the preseason rankings, which gives fuel to the ESPN hype machine.
Notre Dame also loudly complained after the selection and then lobbied the CFP Committee to guarantee that if they finish top 12 they’ll get a CFP slot.
I totally disagree with this because if the same scenario plays out again and either the 11th or 12th spot goes to a lower ranked conference...
I don’t think anyone has said Notre Dame owes the Pop Tart Bowl anything. Most comments seem to be anti Notre Dame because of their “take the ball home” mentality.
I think they got screwed because Alabama should have dropped out of the top ten instead of ND. But Bama and the SEC complained...
I wonder if the Big 12 needs to sign off on U of Utah’s private equity plan? Because there may be conflicts of interest if both a conference and it’s member schools want to move to private equity funding.
However, it makes sense for each school to do this on their own because why would Ohio...
Tidbit from that tweet link:
Georgia Tech coach Brent Key said he has a list of 36 names for the offensive coordinator opening and said he won't rush the process. "I'm going to take the time to get this thing right."
Can PJ can take a hint?
