College Football 2025

Are teams really going to want a gambling addict on the roster? Drugs, Rape, Manslaughter....those can be (and are) forgiven, but gambling is something else.

I wonder this, too. But desperate teams... (And I got to think his agents reached out to see if this was a smart/viable move to make.)
 
So does the suit against Texas Tech go ahead, just on principle, or does everyone try to sweep this under the rug and hope we all forget about it?

So the SEC wants to leave the NCAA. Makes sense. Their members have a history of seceding.

Not so much with the winning though...

You joke, but there will be a noticeable, unpleasant (to them) change when their average record goes from .600 to .500.

(Assuming here that the NCAA would not allow teams that remain in the NCAA to go to the SEC for the traditional cannon fodder games)

You think in a fight between the NC$$ and the SEC the NC$$ wins?

Cuz I don't.
 
The SEC and B1G might leave. Are the smaller conferences going to want to stay in the NC$$ or go join whatever the breakaway conferences create. And of course they are doing this because of football, but what about all the other sports? Hockey without the B1G teams? Basketball without Kentucky? Baseball without Texas and USC?

What does hockey even look like without the BTHC?
 
Why does the B1G need to go? They are swimming in money right now. Cover both coats, the biggest and wealthiest areas and a very wealthy alumni base. And they are winning. Everything the sec doesn’t have anymore.

The sec is looking at the future and panicking.

I don't think any of this is actually going to happen, but the SEC has to have opponents if it leaves and all the speculation has been the B1G joining them. Why? Even more money somehow?

What do you mean by "winning?" If the SEC wants to leave, they will leave, period, and there's nothing the NCAA can do to stop it. The NCAA can, however, prevent its member schools (the ones who stay) from playing the SEC. If that happens. then the SEC can only play with itself, and their aggregate record will therefore be .500.

1. Zero-Exhibition Bylaws
The NCAA tightly regulates the D1 college football schedule. Teams are permitted a maximum of 12 regular-season games, plus potential conference championships and postseason bowl or College Football Playoff games. Unlike other collegiate sports, D1 football does not have a rule or waiver framework that allows for preseason exhibition games or scrimmages against outside organizations. Every single game must be played against another accredited four-year collegiate institution.
 
The NC$$ has a piece of paper that is its agreement.
The SEC has pieces of paper with dead presidents on them.
The NC$$'s piece of paper is meaningless.

And an NAIA school is an accredited four-year institution. And some NCAA schools, especially at the D3 level in all sports, sometimes schedule an NAIA opponent.

So, I don't see how that clause prevents an NCAA school from scheduling a non-NCAA SEC school.
