More talk on the 🏈 board about the B1G & SEC demanding 4 auto bids each.

This has even rattled Notre Dame, but certainly everyone else not in a P2 is rattled too. Word is that if they don’t get supported for the 4 auto playoff bids each, they will leave and do their own thing. However, if the others support this, they know they will get hammered on the recruiting trail, and that includes Notre Dame. B1G and SEC will say, we make more money, have better television exposure, have better access to the playoff and thus can not only pay you a better base salary, but the NIL money will be exponentially better. Is this checkmate for the P2? What do you think? Will schools that don’t want to join the P2 like ND and UNC have no choice, but to do it?

Ok then they gotta leave for everything.

I think they want that, especially the 🏀 money for a tournament.

A basketball tournament of just the SEC and Big 10
mancunian • 02/27/24 01:59 PM ET
The SEC and Big 10 will invite other conferences to "their tourney".
HouClone • 02/27/24 06:32 PM ET
Yeah you’re probably right. Ooof, what a dumb time to be alive.**

It's about the large state schools getting TV watchers, they have studied

It seems very silly to have 4 auto bids each...
jesuisvtguy • 02/27/24 01:28 PM ET
If you don’t want an agreement, throw out something they wouldn’t agree to.
Stech • 02/27/24 01:40 PM ET
Funny you mention size. SEC and B12 will both be 16, ACC 17, BIG 18
HokieAl • 02/27/24 01:39 PM ET
They are not done expanding. **

Nope **
Stech • 02/27/24 01:56 PM ET
In fairness, my message was clearly about "quality of size"...
jesuisvtguy • 02/27/24 01:50 PM ET
If they do, then so be it. We would end up with three levels
HokieAl • 02/27/24 12:32 PM ET
I’m okay with more tiers/divisions. More teams can win an NC. Right now it

I feel like they are making these changes that will, ultimately, lead to
