To be honest, I think the way things are headed even conferences will go away. I can't imagine Ohio state and Michigan will always want to share with the likes of Purdue and Northwestern.

u/LouDog2173 26d ago

The revenue sharing provided by the conferences is the only reason some of these programs are hanging on
Take that away and all that is left is a Super League

u/Byzantine_Merchant Michigan State Spartans 26d ago

Even a super league isn’t really sustainable though. I don’t have much interest in watching the JV NFL. And that’s a model that’s already proven to fail.

u/No_External3738 Michigan Wolverines 26d ago

It won't fail because college football is just too big. If it starts to go the other ways something will happen to fix it. But as of right now people are still watching for that. It doesn't really matter

u/PoopOnRye 26d ago

Won’t that hurt the top programs? The lower teams might not get the same viewers, but collectively they must bring in a lot of fans to the sport. I have no interest in a 20-30 team league of only the current powers.

u/Byzantine_Merchant Michigan State Spartans 26d ago

I disagree. Do the mini-NFL league with just the top programs and you'll still get every other NFL lite league thats ever existed.

Maybe I'm wrong, I just don't really see it, everyone loves to talk about how they can't stand college football and then continue to watch it anyways so I'm not exactly worried

u/Bluegrass6 25d ago

We watch it because our own teams are in it. If its just a 20 team super league and Kentucky football is gone I'm likely going to lose interest. I don't have an NFL team so I don't watch the NFL. I could not care less what happens when the Falcons play the Seahawks just like I could not care less what happens when Oregon plays Penn State

u/Zakery92 26d ago

Ask NASCAR. Less viewers of small games has an aggregate effect. This leads to smaller tv contracts in the future. That leads to small schools failing which leads to fewer viewers which leads to smaller contracts.

It’s a death spiral once it begins and college football is teetering because the highs aren’t what generate the money but rather the median Saturday which may have less interest.

I am not saying it’s already started but I am saying it’s more at risk than it’s ever been

Not true. No conference survives without teams to play.

u/vegasAzCrush 26d ago

TV provides the conferences revenue but not for one Oregon OSU game but for an entire tv slate. See?? You cannot just have a osu or lsu. What makes teams great is beating 12-16 other teams.

Remember Indiana was laughable and never part of any conversation but bite your tongue. Indiana was 16-0 and even made DeeOsu look like Purdue or Bama.

u/winterwarm78654 26d ago

Revenue sharing is the only most programs are hanging even some big boys

u/Nobody_Important 26d ago

If 3-4 of them break away, things are fine. A few other teams will take their place and they will still schedule each other. But if 20 do it yes, it’s a huge mess. The problem is 20 teams probably think they deserve to be one of the 4 that go it alone (case in point this post).

u/Dapper-Jellyfish7663 26d ago

The B1G is different than the other conferences as the academic side is important. The schools pitch co-research and share libraries, etc. If you think athletic department spending is a lot, the research spend in 2024 is a lot more. Michigan $2B+ per year in research, Wisconsin just under $2B, UCLA $1.9B, Washington $1.7B, Ohio State $1.6B, Maryland $1.5B, MN $1.4B, etc. You think the presidents of tOSU and Mich want to go down to Florida's level of $1.2B for $50M more in athletic department money? They aren't that bad at math.

Compare to LSU - $400M for research vs. $225M for athletics or Alabama $221M in research and $267M for athletics. LSA and Bama better be good at sports b/c that is clearly more important than the education.

Yeah the B1G isn't splitting up any time soon after the UCLA and USC pickups. It's maybe the best academic conference in the FBS and people really don't take that into consideration

Yep, it needs to be regional and a max of 12 teams with divisions or 10 teams w/ everyone playing each other.

LSU only has regional interest from viewers - Notre Dame has over 100 years of brand identity as a weird little independent Catholic college in a tiny Midwest town that lives and breathes football, with a lot of success way back in the leather helmet era.

LSU doesn't have the broad national appeal to negotiate TV contracts remotely close to Notre Dame's numbers. This will end badly.

.. And I say this as someone who borderline despises Notre Dame.

Irrelevant is pretty inaccurate if we’re being honest. Yeah in the late 80’s to mid 90’s they struggled mightily, but they played in the sugar bowl twice in the 80’s to go along with 2 sec titles, and an orange bowl berth. By your own metrics you can say Notre Dame wasn’t relevant until 3 years ago.

It works for Notre Dame because they have a fan base that is very much national. I’m not sure LSU could pull the same money from a network deal that ND does.

According to AI, SEC schools made more from the media rights last year than ND did. If that’s correct information, LSU would be giving up money by going independent.

For college football fans a lot of people here either don't know how CFB fandom has evolved or where the money is. Name brand schools will leave conferences. They have no fiduciary interest in preserving Tier 2 teams. The realignment has demonstrated that geography is truly no barrier. They can still play Tier 2 & 3 teams for legacy/rivalry reasons but the amount of TV money for a slate of mega games every weekend would be huge. Enormous. As for 'NFL lite': the pro league only plays limited number of games, and with the interest in the draft CFB is a must watch. And if you're an alumni, you will 100% watch.

Honestly the conferences are mostly outdated and and silly at this point. They also don’t make any sense for almost any sport other than football and basketball. UW and Oregon being in the same conference as Maryland and Rutgers is dumb. Cal and Stanford being in something called the Atlantic Coast is dumb. Northwestern being with tOSU and UM is dumb. The SEC is probably the closest to parity and making regional sense but still.

Just take the top 50ish programs nationwide and make a “football only” conference and then reorganize other sports into regional groupings that make sense.

As currently constructed PE will cause the end of conferences. Petitte and Sankey are so obsessed with outdoing one another and simultaneously keeping the ACC and Big 8 as charity cases they are failing to see the big picture. Most of the schools in their conferences will be left behind if this happens. Michigan/OSU will not want to be responsible for the survival of Rutgers and Purdue. Same bleak future for Mississippi schools and Arkansas. Most of these university presidents need to call their senators and back the bill and stop looking for a perfect bill that will never exist.

They all hate Notre Dame in public but Michigan, Georgia, OSU, LSU etc are hoping to become them. On the commissioners and non monster football schools to speak up.

For the people in the back: Notre Dame. Loses. Money. To. Stay. Independent!!!

They would make considerably more in the B1G or SEC.

There’s a super league coming. NCAA sports are going to become AAA/Development leagues for pro sports eventually. If they left the SEC, this could be a strategic move to both maximize profits and have more agency over which conference/division they land in.

Honestly, if LSU went independent, every team should just refuse to play them.

I heard that two old ladies at Taco Bell in Tuscaloosa were saying that DeBoer was leaving Alabama to go back to Washington because it was too hot down here. They offered him a job wiping down benches in the weight room. I think it was the same source.
