Messing Up the ownership of that championship game is a big screw up.

It's on the level of the PAC12 overcharging Comcast. The November night game issue can be worked out now that they have 2 Los Angeles members and Maryland. NBC will need to work with them on that. Perhaps break their tradition of never playing out of conference past September and allow the ND at USC game every other year be on one of those November prime time games every other year. ** Edited by HOO86 at 5/22/2023, 3:43:05 PM

The mortar is starting to crack in the CFB facade.

It only about 1% of the total contract - seems trivial.

Yeah but my layman takeaway for this is it's just another sign

If you believe $ 40 million is trivial, then OK, it's trivial. I see

That plus the payback of $25M amounts to less than $600K/school/year.

No wonder the U. of Maryland thought they could produce and sell their own

B1G signed up for 1 game per week on NBC at night
HOO86 05/22/23 03:47 PM ET

Pushback for playing night games in November? Jeez
HokieAl 05/22/23 11:20 AM ET
I suspect the weather in Nov at night also plays a big role in this.....

Better Yet. Schedule 3 at USC, UCLA, and Maryland

Adding UVA, VT, UNC and CU to the B1G helps with more possibilities with
