Wow. You seem to be worse than SEC fan. You're like one of those half vampires in the movies.
You wanna be a vampire so bad you drink the Vampire coolaid.
The Big12 has been right there with the SEC since the inception of the BCS.
So what do you mean by real conference?
It's true. So much money floating around the NFL it's not even funny. But they market the product well. I guess I'm just one of those hard headed 'R' guys.
If they can make it for their great great great great grandchildren, they should be able to do it. If I were an owner, I would do it differently than the seeming greed that they have. But while they are still profitable now, we don't know how profitable all of them are. There are some teams who arent' as rich as others. hence the need for the CBA. My thing is if the league were to start losing money and failing somehow, it would be the owners who lost everything. The players wouldn't lose anything not already reconciled.
But, this is a college thread
I took your example and ran with it.
You are right about the superconferences. College sports should be about the students.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist guy. Never have been, never will. BUT, I think that the only reason the NFL still is superior over college football for popularity and revenue is because college has no playoffs.
Yes, SEC fan, the NFL is actually superior to college football in those terms.
If college football went to the big conferences AND a playoff, it would possibley knock the NFL off of the cat-bird seat. Now that's a huge maybe, but it would grow the game a ton. My dad has always and will always refer to the NFL as REAL football and college as college football.
He has not watched a college game in my lifetime. And won't untill they get a playoff. He always hated how they'd just vote Notre Dame or whoever it was to be champs and they never got to play it on the feild with the teams in question. He even admits he'll watch Oklahoma IF they eer get a playoff system.
It's always comical when I hear SEC fan bitch about the BCS.
HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a GAUNTLET......... Don't you know?
