Careful!
If you make the MTSUs feel disrespected, they will turn to eye-gouging

Not a Myth:

Every UCONN Football game last season was better attended than the CUSA Championship played at Middle Tennessee.

Could probably say the same thing about every UConn basketball game.

Imho everything he said here is spot on.

Anybody who believes that any one of our programs - ANY one of them - will be asked to join a for-profit football spinoff of the college system is a fool.

Period.

Touche, HuskyU. of course, I didn't ascribe to anybody in CUSA going anywhere. But, let us never forget when UCONN played MT,we beat your butts by 60+ Points in Football. Let's also face this uncontrovertible fact, your MBB and WBB carries your abysmal FB program. Basketball and Eyeballs are the only reason you are in anybody's FBS conference.

"Why? Because there's [not enough] money for athletics," Pat Kilkenny said recently. Kilkenny is a former Oregon athletic director who now consults for multiple schools and is a longtime confidant of Nike CEO Phil Knight.

"The deficits they're running on campuses isn't sustainable," he added, "… which means they have to raise the bar, which means they have to aggregate."

The 100 schools would more or less include the 65 Power Five schools, Notre Dame, the AAC, the Mountain West and selected others. There will be 130 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) when the 2019 season begins.

There will never be enough money. That group of 100 will try to outspend each other and they'll have the same problem years down the road. Only way to truly fix this is legislate some kind of parody.

Parity?

No, parody. Like a funny copy of something. I think Florida did that for UCF a couple years ago.

Here's a few more common myths:

1) The cause of climate change is settled science
2) The Government can spend your money more wisely than you can
3) College sports are amateur athletics
4) There will be four Super Conferences in the future.

An Amazon exec was quoted a year ago as saying they had discussed buying the top 40 teams in the future.

When we were talking to the Big 12, both Boren and the Big 12 commish told our admin about it. They said the breakaway would be about 80 to 100 teams.

Too busy jerking off to the Memphis basketball roster?

Choke on this, troll boy.

Excerpt:

Again, back to my friend at Amazon. “We’re still seven or eight years away,” he said, “but if we had to restructure the landscape today, we would not start by negotiating with a conference. We don’t care about the SEC, Big 12 of Big 10 as a whole. In our opinion, those entities are not our focus.

“Instead, we would want to identify 30 or 40 teams that command the biggest audience. That may be by reputation or location, but generally we all know that there are members in every one of these conferences that frankly don’t move the needle.

“We would not want to pay for broadcast rights for a team with a fraction of the audience when we could use most of our available cash to tie down high profile teams.

Anyone who thinks that top tv markets like Houston, Tampa, Orlando and such will be left out of a break away is a fool.

You may actually see low level B12 and ACC teams not make it. Who do you think the TV executives would want more... Iowa St or Houston? Wake forest or UCF? Kansas State or USF? Those three alone have the 3 of the top 17 markets in America.
