Here’s my defense depth chart projection as it stands right now⬇️

I know that we of course concentrate on Power 4 news but these things caught my eye:
Missouri State is joining Delaware as programs moving up to D1A and joining C-USA in 2025, This will give them 12 football playing members. Delaware will be coming to Boulder in 2025. Of the 12 members in 2025 of CUSA: Delaware, Missouri State, Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State and Sam Houston would have been members in D1AA in the 2023 season.

On the D1AA/Basketball only conferences:

WCC is adding Grand Canyon and Seattle in 2025. Both fit the conference profile as a religious private schools. The WCC will though be the home of the non-football sports of Oregon State and Washington State for two years. They are not expected to remain in the conference in 2026. Seattle should not be a threat to Gonzaga's dominance in the conference, but GCU could be.

Seattle and GCU were members of the WAC. They do not have football and the WAC does not sponsor it. The football playing members of the WAC play football in a football only conference with teams from the ASUN called the United Athletic conference. The WAC will have 8 members in the conference when Seattle and GCU leave as Texas-Rio Grande Valley is moving to the Southland conference this year. UTRGV will be starting a football program in 2025.

Huge win. Frankly I’m surprised. On to the semis

I wish the revenue part was with this, but he never post that part of the equation.

From a following post: This is what the schools disclosed as their total attributable expense, including scholarships, staff costs, etc.The two things that are generally EXCLUDED, though are CapEx and any debt payments.

From what I read NBC would have half their games on Peacock only. There is still a chance TNT will have a small set of games. Currently TNT/ESPN pay $2.6 billion a year. The deal being talked about is $76 billion for 11 years.
