Just an observation that I don’t really see many people talking about:

It’s kinda interesting to see how much people are kinda hoping for/excited about a supposed “ACC collapse.”

I thought we all hated the fact that the Pac-12 went down how it did, yet I see so many on here “hoping FSU kills the ACC.” Within the conference it’s mainly FSU fans who I see pushing the “I can’t wait for the ACC to die” narrative, which is expected. Clemson fans to a lesser extent but still a few. But a lot of non-ACC folks feel the same way. Why is that?

So while in my endless searching in Twitter trying to find if Oregon and Alabama have at least ever considered scheduling a home and home series (or maybe find someone that can confirm if the series is being discussed as we speak), I found a rather interesting article dating from 2015, back when the 2019 Advocare Classic was just announced to the public.

Oregon and Auburn were intending to play a 2 game series instead of a single kickoff game

At first I thought it would have been a home and home series in Jordan-Hare and Autzen, but reading more carefully I noticed that it would have been like the Wisconsin-Notre Dame series that will conclude in 2026, with one game taking place in Atlanta and another in the West Coast, but they didn't manage to get it to work so a single game in Texas was scheduled.

I wanna know more examples of this happening, IIRC the Wisconsin-ND series that I mentioned above was gonna feature Iowa instead of UW.

I consider the Mount Rushmore to be Red River, Iron Bowl, The Game, Army-Navy. Also the answer can’t include your own team.

With UConn's 6th title in 25 years, I think it's undeniable they are now a college basketball blue blood. It looks silly to try to deny it at this point, regardless of what the gatekeeping snobs think.

Which college football team is most likely to become a blue blood like UConn has been able to do in basketball?

Original Title: [Auerbach] News: The NCAA’s Division I Council can adopt emergency legislation for a new transfer eligibility rule at its April 17-18 meeting. Proposed legislation would allow all undergraduate athletes to transfer and play immediately as long as they meet specific academic requirements.

I was thinking about this in the context of the proposed new NCAA division. To move from DII to DI a school must support 16 sports and the associated scholarships, a minimum cost of about $12 million, not including other expenses.

The NCAA proposed new division would require a $10 million dollar entrance fee and $30K per scholarship athlete to a minimum of 210 scholarship athletes per year. So who could afford to be in that division? That's an increased cost of $6.3 Million per year plus the $10 million dollar entrance fee.

Obviously many schools who spend less than $150 million could afford that, but as there's no clear cutoff, I picked $150 million as a nice round number.

Categories of spending:

THICC Bois 250+ Million

  • Ohio State - 281.5 M
  • Texas A&M - 279.1 M
  • Texas - 271.1 M

Big Spenders - 200+ Million

  • Michigan - 229.6 M
  • Georgia - 210.1 M
  • Nebraska - 204.8 M
  • Penn State - 203.2 M
  • Tennessee - 202.1 M
  • LSU - 200.4 M
  • Alabama - 200.1 M

Fat Wallets - 185+ Million

  • Oklahoma - 199.3 M
  • Wisconsin - 197.7 M
  • Clemson - 195.9 M
  • Auburn - 195.3 M
  • Florida - 189.1 M
  • USC - 187.3 M

Yeah, I Got Money - 150+ Million

  • Kentucky - 174.5 M
  • Notre Dame - 170.8 M
  • Florida State - 169.5 M
  • Iowa - 167.4 M
  • Arkansas - 167.3 M
  • Stanford - 165.5 M
  • South Carolina - 160.4 M
  • Oregon - 155.4 M
  • Washington - 152.6 M
