I know the SEC and Big 10 want to monopolize the CFP and box out the Big 12 and ACC. But for the greater good, college football needs strong Big 12, ACC, and even CUSA and Mountain West conferences.

They're going to pick the top TV eyeball teams from the Big 12 and ACC in the early 2030's and close the super league for good, under an "eat what you kill" financial model that permanently locks schools like us into second class citizen status.

That's the endgame, and my disappointment with the Protect College Sports Act is that this is the one chance for all time to stop that outcome and it's not being used as a leverage point the way it could be.

This is very disheartening - it's all about what is best for me in the near term, what is best for everyone in the long term be damned. Indicative of our society as a whole unfortunately

This is a college football and college hockey comment. My son lives in Kalamazoo and attends WMU hockey games. This just happened tonight. He said WMU played Michigan at home tonight. Michigan won the game with 0.1 on the clock on a long slap shot. No putting time back on the clock nonsense but still…CURSE YOU scUM!!
