NCAA 2023- NCAA Off Season News

[aussiedude]

The whole thing is one big cluster* and the real question has to be how was it allowed to get to this place without anybody putting a stop to it.

Because in the last media deal Big10 gave the rights to everything to the Fox owned Big10 network and a deal that goes till 2030. and its just Fox sub licencing them to CBS and NBC with the Big10 brokering the deal and the Big10 f**ked up.

NBC must be super happy to have Syracuse, Rutgers, Indiana and Illinois as the most likely teams for primetime games in November.

Now it makes sense why Fox had people in the room when the Big10 were talking to NBC, CBS, Amazon and ESPN about packages.

 

[gaskin]

I get that but the way I saw it explained it seemed like the whole thing was a shady back alley transaction conducted by Kevin Warren and done without the knowledge or approval of any of the Big10 schools.

With the Big10 schools all having to chip in to pay the $40m, I find it hard to believe everything was done on the up and up.

 

[aussiedude]

It wasnt. as seen by Michigan, Penn St and Ohio State refusing to play night games in November when NBC were never told that was going to be an issue.
Like selling a championship game you have no rights to sell is f**ked.

and they only went with NBC because some AD's had an issue with going streaming only with Amazon.

The Basketball coaches have also expressed issues with the new TV deal.

 

[aussiedude]

so sidetracked in getting the biggest numbers they could, that about 12 months on they still dont have all the fineprint cleared up.

It is time for Kirby and the school to start coming down hard on these idiots. Kick them off the team if they have to. If a teammate dying isn't enough of a wakeup call for these players to pull their heads in then I don't know what will.

starting to feel Urban Myer like lack of control. where its just ignored because its a winning program.

Think of all the public holiday pay! It's a 4 day football festival with Michigan high school football championships too. Their very own gather round

What's behind the SEC's schedule decision and what does it mean

We dig in on the ramifications of the SEC sticking with an eight-game conference schedule instead of switching to nine, at least for 2024.

www.espn.com

SEC changes from 2024 with an 8 game schedule, 1 permanent opponent and no divisions.

 

[gaskin]

I haven't looked at the particulars and really only know what I heard from Josh Pate today, but as long as we still get Florida every year and one of Auburn, Tennessee, and South Carolina with the other 2 rotating then I am fine with it. It'll probably only be for the one year. Interestingly though, only 5 schools (Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M) voted for the 9 game conference and they needed an 8 vote majority.

 

[aussiedude]

Kickoff times and TV Networks for most games for the first 3 weeks have been announced

 

[aussiedude]

Will play a 9 game conference schedule and no divisions.

Strange that Iowa get 3 rivalry games and Penn State have 0

 

[gaskin]

Penn State will be laughing that they don't have to face both Michigan and Ohio State every year.

Who does Penn St have as a rival?

I guess Michigan State kinda

That's what I would guess.

It's like they consulted the AFL on how to create a fixture

More details about how the Big10 are going about their scheduling, it's called "Flex Protect Plus" which sounds more like a private health insurance plan

Big Ten unveils new football sked model for 2024

The Big Ten will introduce a football schedule model in 2024 that includes 11 protected matchups across the conference, eliminates divisions and targets a rotation as the league expands to 16 members with USC and UCLA.

[gaskin]

Our fans are not happy with the 2024 schedule. No South Carolina which is one of our main rivalry games and still no A&M. This is why the 8 game SEC fixture is bullshit. It should be 9 so you can keep the rivalry games.

Getting both Bama and Texas away is going to be tough. Thank god for the expanded playoff because we might need it.

 

[aussiedude]

With the expanded CFP hopefully they punish the SEC for the 8 game schedule because SoS is supposed to be a factor.

Get rid of those trash FCS cupcake games the week before rivalry weekend.
