Smash Capital, a proposing a super league model that features $9 Billion

promise of cash infusion to college sports. (Second call earlier this month) This is just the one with “some” ACC and B12 schools and not their Commissioners 🤔, so somebody thinks there is some money to be had there. Not to mention the 4 Private Equity firms talking to the B1G, and Goldman Sachs talking to the SEC. You are right, it’s about the money, huge money!!!

Separating football governance != not in the NCAA**
Pylons • 05/27/25 09:25 AM ET
So would that nullify the House v NCAA suit/settlement? It seems like it
Stech • 05/27/25 10:07 AM ET
I can't see how it would nullify it
Pylons • 05/27/25 10:49 AM ET
What if they pull out completely? Which I heard is being contemplated.
Stech • 05/27/25 10:59 AM ET
Well, sure, if the institutions are no longer NCAA members, then
Pylons • 05/27/25 11:21 AM ET
Thus why the rumor they are considering pulling out all together.**
Stech • 05/27/25 12:20 PM ET
If the Big 12 and ACC believe that the SEC and Big 10 intend to leave
HouClone • 05/27/25 01:55 PM ET
They can't just pull out of the settlement. They're part of the NCAA.**
Pylons • 05/27/25 03:23 PM ET
This thing is unraveling.........

Feels like P2/sankey are about to overstep due to the unending pursuit of
VT757to276 • 05/27/25 04:35 PM ET
Good point, if SEC/B1G completely leave NCAA, thus “some” ACC/B12 schools

Sankey “There’s a reason the professional leagues are 30 & 32 (franchises)
Stech • 05/27/25 08:11 AM ET
There is also a reason college sports have 100's of "franchises". **
Big12 guy • 05/27/25 08:26 AM ET
Please keep going, what is your main reason? I‘m just trying to understand.**

College football was built on people willing to travel to
Pylons • 05/27/25 06:00 PM ET
Totally agree.**
Stech • 05/27/25 09:01 PM ET
Isolate the P2, and if they want to join college football, they have to

Since you mentioned UNC, a relevant note from my data
HokieAl • 05/27/25 11:47 AM ET
Simple
MrFantastic! • 05/27/25 03:24 PM ET
Which makes me think the P2 pulls completely out of NCAA, & does own 🏀
Stech • 05/27/25 12:19 PM ET
In the last 25 years, 5 P2 teams have won the basketball tournament. That

Agreed, arrogance killed Rome & a lot of other countries and organizations,
Stech • 05/27/25 09:07 PM ET
Agreed.
Pylons • 05/27/25 09:34 AM ET
I'd go a step further. Those not included
Big12 guy • 05/27/25 09:40 AM ET
Could see up to 5 levels, Sankey/Saban 32, then SEC/B1G booted w/ ACC/B12,
Stech • 05/27/25 10:18 AM ET
If you put the top ACC & B12 in one Conference almost the same as B1G & SEC
Stech • 05/26/25 08:38 PM ET
Cost is the key word. This is only about money

I'm OK with 5 AL and 11 AQs.
Maroon Baboon • 05/26/25 10:00 PM ET
Word is, B1G is the Conference behind the 4 Automatic Bids, they sold SEC,
Stech • 05/26/25 11:26 PM ET
It's the biggest soap opera out there. If the B1G wanted AQs that mean FOX
