Micheal Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Next year will we see two divisions? B1G West USC UCLA Oregon Washington Nebraska Iowa Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois B1G East Northwestern Purdue Michigan State Michigan Ohio State Penn Sate Maryland Rutgers Indiana 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I wonder if the B1G or SEC will push to change to eligibility for the 12 team playoff. Right now the 6 highest conference champions get an auto bid. My guess is they try to push it down to 4 or 5 so they have a better chance of getting 1 more team in each year. Quote Link to comment

There is no way that Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois (and probably Nebraska) would ever agree to something like that. And the TV partners paid money for USC/Ohio St, Michigan/Oregon, etc. Divisions would mean less of that. Quote Link to comment

Word on the street is that Stanford might make a go out of it as an independent. Who knows what Cal is going to do (their athletic department is a dumpster fire). Oregon St and Wash St probably merge with the Mountain West schools. Would Cal do something so radical as to drop alot of sports? Quote Link to comment

So, Oregon would mostly only travel the farthest to Wisconsin and Illinois. That isn't that bad of travel. 1 Quote Link to comment

Actually I prefer zero non-conference opponents. 12 teams regular schedule ..... all B1G opponents Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's Friday afternoon and my brain is fried, but doesn't a 1-8 model work if you keep the 9 game conference schedule? You get 1 team you play every year, then you play the other 8 twice in 4 years? I don't know if that would fly for some schools (cough, Iowa, cough) Quote Link to comment

I will say that its a shame that the Rose Bowl will be getting axed So much history there no doubt. Quote Link to comment

The issue is that they are supposed to be students first (student-athlete) and most of them will not become professional athletes even in football and/or basketball. If you spend all your time traveling for sports, it is hard to get your degree and move into your chosen profession. I know they all have access to tutors and can take a lot of their classes online now, but there are many athletes that wouldn't be in college if it were only decided on their ability to do the schoolwork. True story: I traveled with the team while in school at Clemson, and we had a Thursday night game and had to miss a test, university approved. There were 5 of us who missed the test...and the teacher was pissed. He gave the class the usual, 52 question multiple choice test, so a possibility of a 104. He gave us a make up test which was 5 essay questions, 20 points each with subjective grading. No one made over a 24, I made a 19. I'm not saying this happens a lot, but there are professors who will punish kids for not being in class. 2 Quote Link to comment

Meh. It was always ridiculous that the Big Ten & Pac Ten placed more emphasis on the Rose Bowl over the National Championship. So lame. 1 4 Quote Link to comment

I ran track/cross country at a D3 school and there were professors that considered missing class for a meet an unexcused absence. Only a couple of prof's, but it was a huge pain.
