I posted this in another thread but thought I’d give it a thread of its own in hopes to hear others thoughts. It’s no secret I love this stuff and have followed it close enough that this isn’t surprising. I think the unknown coming our way is fascinating and I also think CFB will just continue to get better as we make changes. Here was the post. What do you all think ?
I think what CU did was also really good for image. We cast a die before anyone else and its going to get hectic.
Will the PAC play with 8-9 teams next year? The BIG XII isnt going to play with 13 so do they go 14 or 16 teams? Does this change the tune of those who say the BIG wont do anything until 2030 or do they now feel compelled to grab some properties before someone else does? Does the PAC try in desperation to lure 3-4 teams from G5? If the PAC makes overtures will anyone really leave (MWC is 30MM to leave and these are schools with smaller budgets, the AAC and Conf USA are chearper but offer only a couple schools even worth considering and they are halfway across the country so will the memebers approve this)?
What of those that are left? Are they desperately trying to get off the ship? WIll the boob known as GK finally be shown the door or does he have staying power liek Craig Thompson and somehow survive this debacle and all that is to come to preside over a regional G5 confrerence?
What will it look like if the PAC loses some combination of UA, UU, OU, UW and adds SDSU, CSU, SMU , etc? I woudl still watch and think it could be a fun regional conference but what is it worth and how do schools like Cal, WSU, OSU pay their bills at 20MM per year? Where does Stanford go? Independent? BIG X? BIG XII?
Between Sanders and this move we are the team to talk about. If we find a way to make good on the field over the next few years it could be moves that we talk about 20 years from now as the rebirth of CU football.
