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.

I see an amendment is there to add a 19th member. That has to be FSU IMO.
who really knows what that means
we all know FSU wants in
we all know we would accept ND too
Texas or tAm would also likely be accepted

I just don’t see 19 being any kind of logical end number

Are you expecting logic?

Indiana has proved you can turn a program around overnight. But how? Is it just $$$? I wouldn't think so, not for IU. Insiders please enlighten me? What's their secret?

When I see carve-outs for ND with the proposals, I think everyone has accepted ND is staying independent. That fight, at least for the foreseeable future, is over.

TX chose SEC. A&M, maybe, but do you think there is enough support at A&M for the move to the B1G? Some support but not enough IMO.

Adding the state of Florida is a great addition to the B1G.

Maybe it's a long term play for ND? I just think FSU is very logical. At this point, the number of actual conference schools isn't a a big factor especially when the football playoff goes to 24 teams.

There's a reason the number "19" was put in as a cap rather than stay at 18. I think it's FSU.

could be

but the only thing permanent about college football is future uncertainty in everything
