Week 1 College Football Thread: Seven Years of College Station Down the Drain

Women's and men's basketball will pale to King Football in revenue combined.

Maybe Kentucky, maybe Indiana, maybe even Duke with its inflated 9K capacity prices.

Arkansas men's hoops outdid football in revenue in 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 after the 20K-capacity Bud Bowl opened. The team won a natty and played for another both years while the football team stunk.

 

Louisville makes bank on hoops too.

 

The Big Whatever must just be giddy with UCLA struggling to beat Hawai'i. Great catch.

 

The Hawaii-UCLA game is highly entertaining for a 10-0 game.
UCLA looks bad.

 

Dish TV is certainly no great shakes, but I've had the quad box for five years. I have quad box, an online bookie, bovada and Prize Picks. We don't need to go to vegas any more.

 

Maybe the “winning the introductory presser” metric does actually matter.

 

I've yet to see a trump/"Kamila is history's greatest monster" commercial that didn't appear on college football.

 

You know full well that this conference built its athletic reputation on men's basketball. Some might say it didn't do enough to make itself about football. IMO, it's about staying with what made the conference what it is.

And about football, it wasn't like John Swofford didn't try ad nauseam to make the ACC all about football. At the expense of everything else.

 

How can the team be that bad? Isn't there a ton of local talent?

 

Holy shit. I just saw a Gundy press conference. What happened to the mullet? And, is that a perm? He looks like Big Worm.
