We're clearly approaching a major inflection point in college football-

which means we're at a major inflection point in college sports. Everyone (meaning the broadcasters and the top 10-12 programs) think everything is gangbusters right now, but the vast majority of people that actually love and follow college football will tell you that they've never been as disinterested and disappointed in the sport. Real fans have been sold out for casual viewers. Unless you follow one of the top 10-12 programs in the country, you've been entirely sold out. You don't matter. You're expected to eat your slop and like it. That never works out in the long run. There's a reason the NFL has replaced the MLB as the most prominent and popular professional sports league in the country. All you need to do is examine how both leagues are run, and you will begin to understand why college football is headed off a cliff.

Ohio State Prez re: ACC-esque viewership model for rev share in Big 10

LOL, everything is so wrong on every level , we've all lost any capacity
Vippie1 • 09/10/25 05:45 PM ET
Yeah I expect the B10 will follow and implement the unequal revenue sharing

FSU, Miami, Clemson and UNC had leverage on the rest of the conference.
Femoyer Hokie • 09/10/25 01:34 PM ET
UNC? Their football numbers are middle of the pack, our 6-6 or less hangs

It's the uncheat brand, mainly in basketball and their non-revs. MJ and

Ohio State believes they have the leverage
mancunian • 09/10/25 01:42 PM ET
They do, like it or not. Fox didn't give that

If the P2 go to unequal revenue sharing based on TV viewership, I think-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/10/25 01:04 PM ET
I am less certain about the SEC.
RandomAsianGuy • 09/10/25 01:17 PM ET
Not me, Josh Pate said months ago sources at B1G & SEC say it’s inevitable
Stech • 09/11/25 09:00 AM ET
Agree on the SEC disparity. However, there is one SEC team

Once you get outside the top 6-7 programs in the SEC, the rest are-

SEC has big brother & little brother rivalry, they just hide it better!!!!
Stech • 09/11/25 08:52 AM ET
To be clear, the Big 10 doesn't have it yet. OSU Prez just implies its' OTW**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/11/25 10:11 AM ET
Correct it’s on the way.**

In the entire history of College Football
Big12 guy • 09/10/25 12:54 PM ET
I thought you are against the unequal revenue sharing. Will the B12 follow?**
RandomAsianGuy • 09/10/25 01:05 PM ET
Uneven distributions within a conference like

The worst possible outcome would be for congress to poke its nose in.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/10/25 01:07 PM ET
At this point? What is the worst thing that could happen? **
Big12 guy • 09/10/25 01:17 PM ET
Congress getting involved.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/10/25 01:22 PM ET
I don't think Congress getting involved would be the worst scenario.

Agree to disagree, I suppose.**
