The P2 conferences can try to circumvent antitrust laws, but it doesn't

mean they will get away with it. Sometimes people think they get away with breaking the law for whatever reason. Sometimes they get away with it and sometimes they get caught. It is possible the P2s used their four automatic bid proposal as a starting point for a conversation. The same could be true for the other proposal on the table. WRT whether they think their proposal would be challenged in court or not, it is possible they are willing to take the risk. If it is challenged in court and the courts rule it violates antitrust laws, then they really haven't lost anything. They will get to keep cashing those larger checks until the lawsuit makes its way up to SCOTUS.

Will increase parity within each “level” and decrease it between levels**
El Hokie • 01/20/25 05:44 PM ET
You all laughed when I recommended that an undefeated ACC team should opt
PadrosWindup • 01/20/25 12:46 PM ET
If a team opts out, they should be disqualified from the CFP.**
reestuart • 01/20/25 01:59 PM ET
Who laughed at that? TIA, I don’t remember people laughing, but I do
Stech • 01/20/25 12:55 PM ET
I’m impressed that they are trying to be creative. BUT
HokieAl • 01/20/25 11:14 AM ET
IMHO he is trying to end CCG’s and expand to 16 team playoff. He doesn’t
Stech • 01/20/25 01:48 PM ET
SECCG didn’t do UGA any favors….**
hokieZ71 • 01/20/25 03:46 PM ET
Agreed they lost their QB, but they still got in the Playoff. P2 want CCG’s
Stech • 01/20/25 03:53 PM ET
Championship games make little sense at this point.
hokieZ71 • 01/20/25 04:20 PM ET
I agree the CCG is outdated, but the SEC & B1G will fight for them, it’s $$
Stech • 01/20/25 05:05 PM ET
Sounds a little desperate
1947Sunbowl • 01/20/25 08:29 AM ET
That is because the ACC "is" desperate. **
wwhokie1 • 01/22/25 11:52 AM ET
That model would work well if the ACC is guaranteed two spots
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 12:00 AM ET
If the FBS Playoffs guarantees spots to only some of the 10 FBS conferences
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 06:32 AM ET
Not hard to circumvent.
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 01:51 PM ET
That's not just like now. Now it's the top ranked conference champions.
wwhokie1 • 01/20/25 07:47 PM ET
Except the P2 conferences and networks won't go for that because they won't
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 02:01 PM ET
Well

VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 02:58 PM ET
So, you are saying the antitrust may not deter the P2?
RandomAsianGuy • 01/20/25 03:10 PM ET
Not from trying, but it doesn’t mean they’ll ultimately keep it, the courts
Stech • 01/20/25 03:57 PM ET
Exactly. In this case the end is all that matters.**
VTHokie2000 • 01/20/25 03:59 PM ET
2 vs. 3 in the Championship Game? That will do wonders for attendance and
Maroon Baboon • 01/19/25 10:33 PM ET
Honestly, I am encouraged that he’s reaching for innovative solutions
lawhokie • 01/20/25 11:07 AM ET
IMHO, he’s worried about losing his job, if only 1 ACC team makes PO, fired
Stech • 01/20/25 01:57 PM ET
There are only a limited number of answers to your question
HokieAl • 01/20/25 11:21 AM ET
He’s a Notre Dame homer, but he’s not dumb. I think he’s trying to kill CCG
