Other Sports: NCAA Thread v12

When your lifelong favorite college team signs a kid from your piece of shit rival high school ...

"Oregon will welcome Ohio State to Eugene next October as it begins life in the Big Ten. And Dan Lanning's team will be doing it with a former Buckeye recruit as four-star wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan flipped to the Ducks on Wednesday.

"The 6-foot, 195-pound McClellan, a product of Christian Brothers College High School (Missouri), caught 58 passes for 834 yards this season."
 
So no one lost bigger than Colorado today, huh? That was a bloodbath.

I understand the Deion fans because they’ll just follow him to his next stop if he gets there but I find it wild like some actual Colorado fans are seemingly unaware of what’s going on. They seemingly don’t see that guy is doing everything he can to bounce after next year. That guy has zero plan beyond 2024 at Colorado.

Like last year whatever you came in late & the roster was so bad you opted for way more transfers than high school players. But you had a full cycle this year to recruit & you signed 5 yesterday with your top recruit influx now without signing.
 


My biggest question right now is what can and can’t be renegotiated with these tv contracts. I think everyone understands the ACC situation is the last shred of a blockage to whatever the networks want to happen. I just don’t know how to have a discussion about what it is other than attempting to make it into an NFL-like tv package with a couple of main networks and some games sold off in bits and pieces.

I really didn’t need CFB ever becoming about winning national titles, but I know that ship has sailed. That’s never what it was except for the nuttiest hardcores of a couple of programs.

I like how McMurphy or at least someone influencing him to do so included the Big 12 in there like they have any chance of getting the big brands once the ACC goes. :laugh:

For the Louisville-USC game tonight, between portal transfers and NFL draft sit outs, over fifteen Cardinals and twenty Trojans are going to be missing from the regular season roster.
 
The Georgia-Florida State matchup isn’t looking too much better & that’s an NY6 bowl. Unless you’re essentially a fan of those teams & pay attention to the whole rosters there’s not really much there for a neutral/draft type of watcher.

I don’t know if Oregon will be able to put a team on the field.
 
Would an in season tournament make sense for college football? Seems like it would address concerns about lack of star power for bowl games

I don’t think it really matters because you can see the tv networks already having influence in the schedules for the SEC & Big Ten next year.

They’re going big brand vs big brand heavy already.
 
Weird that we're quickly approaching scenarios where FSU/Clemson are less appealing to the SEC than UVA/North Carolina and less appealing than Georgia Tech/Miami to the B1G. They might end up stuck going to a re-worked Big 12 at this point.
