So in some sense their choice wouldn't be much different than say Virginia choosing to opt out and screwing the ACC out of filling a bowl slot. Though again, ultimately at the end of the day the conference is pissed about not filling a bowl slot because they'll lose out on the money that bowl...

Understand all that. In the previous system at least, there was part of the deal that made Notre Dame eligible to be selected by the Orange Bowl in years that it wasn't a semi-final game. Now with the 12 team playoff the Orange is obviously part of it every year so that wouldn't apply, just...

Bold: I am surprised to see, you are correct. Did not realize it was that large. Endowment is also more than 3x larger.

Agree that new federal law is needed.

He was not officially part of the Texas Tech program. He gets no official credit. The record for this season will not contain his name. He can tell himself that he "made this happen" all he wants. There's nothing standing the test of time that will prove that. He will be forgotten. How long...

Players will play if they get a slice. That simple. Throw em a couple bones, watch em come Also, I pretty strongly disagree with the players being allowed to vote to decide that they don't want to play a game that is on their schedule. Should players be allowed to vote that they don't want to...

I don't care how good they are on the field. They're not P4. That automatically makes them less interesting, for me. And most casual fans will pass on it, as well.

You cannot be contacted by another school until you are in the portal. How can you be "making a visit"? On your own dime, perhaps? Or are you saying all these guys are actively flaunting NCAA rules?

First three absolutely deserve big fines. Big XII should go higher on the fines. Not sure if ACC has the authority to fine ND for skipping out, not sure how the updated bowl deal works.

You can't point to a Big Ten document backing you up. I say, when Big Ten has enough teams to fill the Pinstripe, Rate, and Detroit bowls, they treat all those last three teams the same. You cannot disprove this. If they don't have enough teams for all of those, then that's not an equivalent...

If we lost to Washington, we'd have equal records and they would have beat us? How would they still be in front of us? We'd also have equal records with the Bengals and Atlanta, but I don't know how the tiebreakers work. But with our win we're for sure behind them now. No one will convince me...

I hope so badly that IU loses to to the OU Bama winner! Will be cheering for that. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually going to tune into the game.) OSU vs Texas Tech in the Natty

Do they count for ACC filling it's bowl slots? I thought that was part of the deal of them playing ACC games, is they get access to some ACC bowls? Or maybe that's just the thing with the Orange Bowl ... and perhaps that was before the 12 team playoff. Not sure how it works now

The NFL is a business. And the NFL, correctly, forces strict pairity. Makes it a vastly superior product. I'll continue watching the Gophers, for the foreseeable future. I won't bother wasting my time on any other team in college football.

It does very much matter to the conference. Ie. if the Big Ten were short on bowl teams and had to choose to fill the Pinstripe, Rate, or Detroit bowls, they would sent the last team to the Pinstripe. But that said, if we have enough teams for all those bowls ... pretty sure the conference...

So ... we crush Washington and the Giants, in meaningless wins that will cost us what ... 4, 5, 6, more? draft spots? Probably lose to Cowboys in a game the fans would actually care about us winning. Get crushed at home by Lions and Packers to finish out the year with a sour taste in our...

Just looking at some of the scores ... how many draft spots did we just lose by going from 4 wins to 5 wins? Know for sure that Wash, Atlanta, and Cincy went ahead of us. Saw that one highlight of Seattle beating Atlanta ... on that one TD throw the db barely even made an attempt at a tackle...

:ROFLMAO: The game was literally finished before 2:45pm on a Noon start. Washington was not trying to win the game.

Guessing it's easier to get into than Big Ten schools, as well. Like getting into NDSU. NDSU has (or used to have) a good reputation for engineering as well. But obviously ISU is bigger and perhaps the attraction of FBS football and high-major basketball is important. Otherwise, the schools...

Fully admit Pinstripe at $4.4M is a much better payout. Not sure playing Clemson is a "better" matchup than Iowa State in the Rate, if ISU doesn't cowardly back out. Now I see why you're saying Penn State "jumped" us, but again I don't think I agree with that. Personally speaking only for...
