Top teams = most TV revenue (mostly football). Has nothing to do with level of competition. The bottom halves of each of the "P4" conferences, especially the ACC, are dead weight and would fit in the American. Disney is trying to make this minor league football to the detriment of the other 70 FBS schools

Jay Bilas is a giant D-bag. Always has been.

Nobody cares about college baseball. TCU however has regressed in football and has never been very good in basketball.

UH has regressed even more arguably. They've sucked since Herman left and even weren't that great in Herman's last year unless they were getting up for the bigger names on the schedule

UH fans I know for some reason act like they are on a run of football success like we were on in our final 4 years in the MWC

Bilas has always hated the NCAA tournament 64 team bracket and every year shills for a 32 team field with no automatic bids.

In a 32 team super league whatever basketball format emerges from that will produce a tournament worth a fraction of what March Madness is worth. The 64 team field and bracket pools are what makes March Madness so popular and I don't think for example an NBA style postseason would draw as many eyeballs

Also what would become of programs like Gonzaga, Villanova, Xavier?

Jay Bilas has also been pounding the “pay college athletes” drum for a long time too. He’s a corporate asshat.

so if you change some of the parties involved does this story remind you of anything specific:

" "Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel," the lawsuit states. Sources told the Journal that the actress could stand to lose upwards of $50 million in bonuses over the move. (Requests for comment from Walt Disney were not returned at press time.) "

" "This will surely not be the last case where Hollywood talent stands up to Disney and makes it clear that, whatever the company may pretend, it has a legal obligation to honor its contracts," John Berlinski, an attorney at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP who represents Ms. Johansson, told the newspaper. "

hmmmm... the mouse scheissing someone else over to avoid payment?

The old SWC should have accepted the offer from fledgling ESPN to broadcast the conference rights over Raycom. Bet Texas nixed that deal at the time. Somethings never change.

think the old swc was going to die one or another even with arkansas once the cfa was dissolved and conferences could negotiate television rights on their own

9 school conference, 8 in the state of texas with 4 of those private schools, and the growth in popularity in the nfl

still think the original version of the big 12 could have survived and done well if not for texas' arrogance and greed

this is essentially an 8 way prisoners dilemma (very steamy) in that all 8 teams are better off if everyone sticks around. However if one team bolts then the others pay a steep price.

i do think if all 8 can stay together it’s for the best.

Similar to what Dennis Dodd has speculated about…

College football realignment fallout: What's next with Texas, Oklahoma stating intent to leave Big 12 for SEC

—With the most best teams, the SEC will essentially be able to make its own rules. Why stop at a limit of 25 scholarships per year? The SEC could, on its own, go to 30. Why not 40? How about a 150-man roster?

—A Miami booster is essentially paying players for being on scholarship with the Hurricanes. Nick Saban claims Alabamaquarterback Bryce Young has earned almost $1 million. Taken to a logical conclusion, there is going to be faction of programs that will pay players and enter into group licensing agreements. That hints of unionization.

—Why stop there? Think reworked amateurism and eligibility rules. A streamlined enforcement model with more liberal rules where cases take weeks to be adjudicated instead of years. Think an SEC owned-and-operated streaming service that brings in even more money.
