2024 college football offseason thread

Because it's cheaper to pay for it than not pay for it.

 

Stadium is on one of my subchannels over the air here. They'd air random high school football games in the fall, which was interesting.

 

Portal-palooza is almost here. Gonna be wild for teams that haven’t even had spring games by the 16th.

The NFL Network runs that first Saturday tripleheader of the season. ABC/ESPN always had 6-7 of those third-tier bowl games like the New Orleans Bowl, Celebration Bowl. L.A. Bowl, Cure Bowl, etc.

They will eliminate a couple bowls, put the rest on ESPN and the playoff games on ABC?

 

ESPN2 is YOUR new home for the New Mexico Bowl!

 

Super League!

Inside the CFB 'Super League' pitch some execs see as a way to save the sport

 

"Chief among the obstacles this new venture faces are the billions of dollars in TV deals that all the top conferences have locked in with the major networks: ESPN/ABC, Fox, NBC and CBS. The FBS conferences recently signed off on a six-year, $7.8 billion extension with ESPN for the exclusive rights to the expanded College Football Playoff."

Really? Do tell.

 

The sport does need an intervention and has proven to be unable to govern itself. Hell, when you have leaders asking for Congress with help for NIL regulations because your governing body and schools are impotent - I'm guessing only Congress or the threat of a sizeable lawsuit from private or government entities will get this thing sorted.

 

The Super League would be fantastic in the sense it would help me walk away from the sport with zero regrets - well other than the fact that it currently defines my personality to an unhealthy degree.
