The world has really changed when North Carolina can engage in cheating and the NCAA doesn't go after East Tennessee A&M.

Things are reaching a Beckman-esque level of incompetent in Chapel Hill.
We found damning issues in our report, so as punishment, please stay on to the end of the year, accept this huge payout, here's your retirement, and we'll pay your legal fees.
So take that Mr. Manuel!! And sorry about the accountability --we have no choice.

Wasn’t sure where to put this but the Athletic/ NYT put an update to their P4 football program valuations if they ever went private. Also not sure if there is a paywall (I subscribe to the NYT) but long story short we are ranked 30th out of 68 P4 programs at $568m (vs $405m last year). IU got a big bump (like double) due to their “emergence” partially tempered by uncertainty as to whether it sticks.

What if college football teams could be sold? Ranking Power 4 teams by their valuation
How much would it take to buy an NCAA football team on the open market? Here's what we think all 68 Power 4 teams would sell for.

Crazy how, after floating the idea of the B1G taking on private equity dollars and only two schools holding out, the conference now wants that banned.

Honestly, I’ve always thought the idea of the first place team playing the second place team for the conference championship is pretty stupid.
Imagine if the 1983 Illini had to beat Michigan a second time to be B1G champs.
Im trying to understand this....does that mean someone gave Stanford a 1st place vote?
Potentially a huge week. If I understand it, the BIG and SEC are supposed to decide whether to support it by tomorrow. Lot of major changes if they do and it passes. Not sure how I feel about a one time transfer rule or the anti-trust exemption being entrusted to the NCAA. From what I've read the major challenges are 1) because the BIG and SEC are in the drivers seat, they do not want to shift power away from themselves and 2) the leagues desire to limit athlete movement (and pay) means it's trickier to get enough support from congress given the politics of it.
Feels like an all-out feeding frenzy with so much money at stake.
That does not equal, that equals a 14-16 record.

Maybe because of the conferences outside of the big 4.
