One of the major points of the article was that the people that-

put together the concept, who are all in pro sports and TV marketing, are confident that the change in format and removal of the traditional conference paradigm will allow all the participating teams to make more TV money than they're making now. This article is from last Spring, so that means they think it would be more valuable than the current SEC and Big 10 contracts. You should really read the entire thing if you're going to comment.

Mandel at the Athletic, while admittedly a pencil neck who is usually wrong

Interesting but the idea of 70 teams at the top level

Hey my comment more generic that the money payer, big media
VTCALS72 03/07/25 12:16 PM ET
This guy is "Big Media." "Big Media" put the plan together.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/07/25 12:29 PM ET
Yeah and I think anything that says 70 teams will be in the top level
VTCALS72 03/07/25 12:40 PM ET
The "pro model" started with 8 teams, man.
Baltimore_Hokie 03/07/25 01:05 PM ET
70 works, if distributions are on a sliding scale

Make the last 2 GT and WVU and this would be a great football league.

I want round robin leagues back.
Maroon Baboon 03/06/25 03:06 PM ET
I’m opposite. I find round robin to be repetitive and boring

The ACC in the FSU-domination years was an anomaly.
Maroon Baboon 03/07/25 01:07 AM ET
ACC division schedule was the worst. Very much agree on that **
HokieAl 03/07/25 08:13 AM ET
Truth. And then they screwed us even harder with the 3-5-5 schedule.
Maroon Baboon 03/07/25 09:25 AM ET
and the fact that we played FSU and Clemson so few times. Just horrible**
HokieAl 03/07/25 09:31 AM ET
Round robin 10-team divisions in 20 team leagues absolutely could happen.

If you are going to bring back the Pac-10, then why not the Pac-8?
VTHokie2000 03/06/25 06:14 PM ET
9 conference games better than 7. **
Maroon Baboon 03/06/25 07:01 PM ET
7 conferences would allow for 4 OOC games + 1 neutral site OOC games.
VTHokie2000 03/06/25 07:11 PM ET
Ah, in antiquis diebus, when college football was the best**
Baltimore_Hokie 03/06/25 04:55 PM ET
I think that is coming for the level of the ACC/B12 and PAC.
