I was incredibly CORRECT. They NEED these games. So badly. "We have said that we would need to see how strength of schedule would be evaluated by the CFP. With this outcome, we will need to asses how many P4 non-conference games make sense in the future to put us in the best position to participate in the CFP. That is not good for college football." == Greg Byrne They should call Julie Cromer. She'll roll over and take a few pennies to play them in Tuscaloosa. Julie - the number is $5 million minimum - tell your other G5 AD friends, and quit waiting for Arkansas to call you with a job. You work for OHIO. If these idiot Athletic Directors and Presidents don't start demanding real money for these games - we have a huge problem. It's clear as day in Black and White today. HOLD JULIE CROMER and LORI GONZALEZ ACCOUNTABLE. You just lost a Coach because the budget is completely mis-managed on the revenue side of the line. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

Alabama's three losses came at the hands of SEC teams and he's saying their strength of schedule wasn't good enough.

He would have pulled Wisconsin and South Florida off this year, and Florida State, Wisconsin, ND, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, and other P4's in future years. They want to play us, they need to pay.

Everyone ditched Arizona State and they ended up with a bye. Think Michigan State is ever going to be in consideration for a playoff spot unless they load up with a bunch of cream puffs and hope the schedule somehow aligns in their favor (the Indiana model)?

Can we just pin a thread called “Bobcat Love’s Incoherent Rambling” to the top and just let this goofball rant nonsensically about the same topic amongst himself rather than cluttering up the board with his 8th post in 3 days?

They want to play us, they need to pay. You are so far behind it's baffling. I've never seen somebody dumber consistently think they're the smartest guy in the room. Alabama's AD is making sure the NCAA knows who is in charge. And it's not the NCAA. It's the SEC & Big 10, and the schools that bring in all the revenue. They know it, and so does the NCAA. The SEC & Big 10 are negotiating a scheduling alliance, which will involve more games against each other, and allow them to re-open TV rights deal negotiations with two networks at once. Bama's AD is making sure the NCAA knows who is in charge. TV Money is all that matters to anybody. The size of the TV revenue pie gets bigger with more marquee games and the SEC and Big 10's alliance gives them the leverage to couple that with guaranteed playoff spots. That is going to happen. In other words, those G5 games are quite literally worth less to them than ever before. Quite literally. And, of course, even if we got $5m for a game against OSU it does absolutely nothing to address any of the real issues facing Ohio Athletics. Taking handouts to be OSU's Washington Generals is not a sustainable strategy for mid-major sports. If you're going to tell all of us how smart you are, at least propose something that addresses any of the real challenges that the program faces.

That the Big 10, Pac 12, and ACC couldn't band together and stop what's coming -- and the Big 10 has since just emulated the SEC's playbook -- is exactly my point. College sports are never going to be the same. The landscape's entirely different, the NCAA is powerless, and TV money runs everything. The P4 doesn't need the NCAA anymore. We're less than 10 years away from the P4 breaking away from the NCAA and taking every cent. What's the NCAA add now that college sports are pro sports, exactly? Why would Alabama and the like choose to make less money on TV deals in order to accommodate the NCAA's completely opaque, ever-changing playoff selection criteria when they can just fire the NCAA?

It's hard to have a discussion when you are so uninformed. Alliances - LOL. Moron.
