I know some people are dead set that all 10 conferences should get an auto-bid ... but I personally will not vote for that. By the way, I don't have an actual vote. I think having the top 5 ranked conference champions serves the purpose just fine in a 12 team bracket. Maybe expand it to top 6...

They got your money (viewership). I didn't tune in a single minute of a single one.

Just looked quick and seems this guy doesn't have a single tie to the state of Michigan, other than having been OC/QB coach at Eastern for a couple years about 10 years ago. Why this guy? (Granted, I'm rooting for him to beat IU :) )

Would also like for the League to create a new rule that limits FG attempts to be from the opponents area of the field ... ball must be snapped from some point inside (not on) the 50 yard line. It's just bunk to be able to kick a FG from not even in your opponents territory. UNLESS its a free...

Would like to see more times where a free kick is allowed! Interesting situation and it is football after all.

Maybe RF doesn't, but Whitewater surely does. I'm simply saying, as public schools that are directly funded by Wisconsin taxpayer money, I would like to see them choose to offer athletic scholarships to those largely Wisconsin based rosters (perhaps RF is an outlier in that regard).

Just a quick question here ..... why the hell is ... Miami ... playing in the Cotton Bowl ... Texas Tech ... playing in the Orange Bowl ... WTF?

Your post doesn't have much of anything to do with the point that I was making. (Though I am curious what accounts you're referring to about higher bidders for Mendoza.) The point is that guys like Cuban want to be owners. They're hood with loading in many millions .... so long as it's an...

Why is it "easier"? Small UW schools can very easily, and would guess likely do, put athlete's names at the top of the list for "Leadership Grants", etc. things that are available to the whole student body but athletes get special consideration and defacto is a partial scholarship. Guessing...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Football_League#Foundation The PFL was created as a direct result of an NCAA rule change passed in January 1991, which required Division I schools to sponsor all of their sports at the Division I level by 1993. Charter members included Butler University...

Hmm so maybe what would be better would be to beat the Lions, but for them to win today and win the last week to leap over the Packers for the last wild card spot? So we could still be the reason the Packers are kept out? I'd take that

The dream is still alive!! Watched the ending from the onside kick, and it was awesome! EDIT: damnit! Cowboys are eliminated because they would lose tiebreaker with Packers 😭

Maybe, but they obviously aren't moving four hours away. Google Maps shows Soldier Field to Gary, Ind as about 29miles on I-90 (no idea what traffic on that is like, probably terrible).

Damnit! Of course the Packers beat the Bears tonight. So much for that. I'll take a consolation prize of keep the Lions out and contributing towards keeping the Cowboys out. Wonder if that means the Packers will lay down in the last game of the year, if they can't improve their seed and it's...

Hopefully such a bluff wouldn't be needed. In fact, college players could stand to make even more money than they make now if they play ball on collective bargaining.

In such leagues, you're talking about that the best three schools from the league get into the playoff already anyway ... and with a 16 team playoff, probably top 4 will make it. No conf champ game needed.

I don't understand your post? All I've said is that I think the small UW schools should choose to offer scholarships. Also, DIII does have precedent of kicking schools out. That's what the Pioneer League is, right now, schools that were kicked out of DIII football (because they played DI...

Ummm ... my dude, the Third Circuit ruled in favor of the NCAA in their appeal of the lower court injunction in Elad v NCAA ....

OK, I retract my statements about trolling and appreciate this more well thought out post. I still say that Wisconsin would never bend over backwards to try to lure the Vikings across river, as Indiana is open to doing for the Bears, so it was never something the Vikings would have considered...

I agree with you there
