From a logical view to avoid risk of a large investment failing, the lack of inclusion for over 2/3 of the country should be a huge concern. Personally, I think the P1 would need at least 25 states, which means they would need 25-30 teams. As for the playoff, I’m guessing that 24 will definitely happen. They are just negotiating the details now and carving out their chunk of the money and territory and control. ** Edited by HokieAl at 4/29/2026, 11:36:13 AM

My perspective is not as much on where their fans live -- HokieAl Apr 29, 2026 at 04:43 PM ET

If those fans "gamble" on college sports, then do they feel left out? -- VTHokie2000 Apr 29, 2026 at 05:32 PM ET

Correct me if I'm wrong. I think the SEC and BIG do not have GORs in place -- HokieAl Apr 28, 2026 at 11:32 AM ET

B1G does, but it’s about to expire, the SEC doesn’t have one. B1G extension -- Stech Apr 28, 2026 at 05:02 PM ET
