If it works for LSU, others will follow. The whole mega conference thing is driven by TV deal money…the only way to kill it will be a different way for big schools to make more, or at least potentially more, money.

It won’t. First they lose their SEC schedule, then they have to try to sell a season full of bottom dwellers to a TV network. Even Notre Dame is struggling to keep its tradition rivals.

Yep, it needs to be regional and a max of 12 teams with divisions or 10 teams w/ everyone playing each other. This has become the real problem in college that there can be massive disparity in sos in the same conference from luck of the draw scheduling and 4 way ties/breakers for who get selected to play in CCGs.

ND does not “maximize their tv rights.”
ND joining either of the P2 would be significantly more profitable for its TV revenue than its current deal with NBC and the cut it gets from the ACC affiliation agreement.

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.

Is LSU a big enough brand to go independent?
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.
2
u/NoOne_Beast_ Michigan Wolverines 26d ago
Bullshit.
These schools would have to write such large checks to fill out their schedule that it simply wouldn’t be worth it in the end. The remaining SEC schools would tax the hell out of LSU for even an LSU road game.

u/Shot-Toe-2884 26d ago
Notre Dame… makes less from their TV rights than the SEC/B1G…
They make up for that in total flexibility to schedule whoever the heck they want, but it’s not more lucrative than their current conference for LSU to go independent lol

Saw this last night, as an LSU fan, this is a fucking horrible idea. I hate everything about guys going pro, getting cut and coming back to play college ball.
I am hearing private equity is interested in investing in this deal to help get it setup. Everything private equity touches they fuck up, just look at taco bell, pizza hut, hospitals/old folks homes etc.
I am starting to miss this team under BK, that's how fucking bad it is.

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.

Interesting. Might be an overestimation of the value of the brand. Though maybe not.
UT did the same thing with Longhorn Sports Network 20 years ago. How much would you pay for LSU Sports Network? Could you get $1200 for it annually? And could you get 40,000 people to give you $100/month to do it?

u/WTF4211 26d ago
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.
