USA Today is not only a national newspaper, but it owns over a thousand other newspapers. They probably don’t like the power and money is going to a few markets. So they give a similar account of 4 Auto bids for the B1G and SEC, but don’t like that many of their newspaper markets will be left out. Just an educated guess on my part.

Could be up to 13 of 14 positions locked to the conferences -- PadrosWindup Feb 22, 2024 at 06:18 PM ET

What you have is a stark contrast...... -- 2hhoop3 Feb 22, 2024 at 04:01 PM ET

Definitely 2 very different perspectives, based on 2 very different models -- Stech Feb 22, 2024 at 04:12 PM ET

Auto-bids for non-champions is a bad policy. -- Maroon Baboon Feb 22, 2024 at 02:56 PM ET

Agree, but does it really matter? -- SteveInBaltimore Feb 22, 2024 at 08:35 PM ET

It’s hard for me to believe nonP2 would allow this, but maybe you want them -- Stech Feb 22, 2024 at 03:41 PM ET

Even if I was the SEC and B1G I wouldn't want it. It's just lame.** -- Maroon Baboon Feb 22, 2024 at 04:38 PM ET

Got to save public face when and if you break off. Unlike some here, I -- Stech Feb 22, 2024 at 04:52 PM ET

It's a bargaining chip. They don't really expect to get 4 guaranteed spots -- tarheelblue Feb 22, 2024 at 04:03 PM ET

Could be, I think we will find out sooner rather than later.** -- Stech Feb 22, 2024 at 04:08 PM ET

ACC should agree to this as long as both P2's grow to (24) each ;-)** -- 133193Hokie Feb 22, 2024 at 02:24 PM ET

Haha, but those that believe they will be included will probably do that. -- Stech Feb 22, 2024 at 03:35 PM ET
