Dude... seriously?

You have to be trolling at this point...

ok

now stop threadhjacking

No, we are just calling out BS while your are pimping on CUSA and claiming you had majority during the game.

Fine, keep saying "OK" to evidence that's been presented that is contrary to your outright lie.

Didn't even read what this thread was about, but I will call out complete BS.

This was discussed to death the week after the game and now revisionist history come into play. Was even discussed by AJC beat writer who takes every opportunity to troll us. It's pointless discussion and has nothing to do with the thread.

If say CUSA brakes up into two Conferences but maintains some sort of alliance as far as scheduling, bowls, maybe they could negotiate as a block. Or a 9 to 10 team conference would be small enough that maybe NBC, CBS or some of the smaller fish would be willing to pony up for the media rights when they didn't have a shot at a 16 to 20 team contract. Its not how large the over all contract is, its how much each school gets.

Why not form an LLC that holds the media rights of each conference and sells them as a bundle? Then take a percentage of the money and divide it equally with the rest distributed based on TV appearances with the amount different based on the channel, day of the week and time? A school having to play a weeknight should get more than a team that kicks off an hour earlier than planned on Saturday.

Might be hard to get a lot of schools to hand over negotiation rights (power) to an LLC.

Trolling hard Son. We had one game with 27k tickets sold last year,

You're welcome Panama. That was the Georgia Southern game and 2/3 of the fans were Eagle fans.

Lol...not


Plenty of photographic evidence showing majority GSU evidence. Your ultimate evidence is that if we had been outnumbered the AJC would have trolled us forever. :D

Don't bring this crap back to the Sun Belt Board. Start a topic on the SBC smack board. I'm locking that main thread.

Yeah, maybe if you are adding Notre Dame and Texas, but adding Arkansas State and University of Louisiana at Lafayette ain't going to boost any TV deals.

Nothing any G5 conference does now will give a significant boost.

That may not be exactly true. If, for example, conferences will be allowed to decide how to crown a champion on their own, what's to stop C-USA from going to 16 or even 20, attract a little more tv money to provide a lot of inventory to a multitude of sports networks, divide into 4 divisions and hold semi-finals to determine the participants in the championship game? The 2 semi-finals will help boost income a bit. The conference would need to find a way to divide into 2 basketball conferences though while remaining together in football. A problem looking for a solution.

Holding more inventory could work IF Fox or NBC is going to quit diddling around with their niche sports channels (FS2 and Universal Sports) and pump up their online/app products.

Heck, even NBCSN is a niche channel besides the NHL. I don't know if I've seen a bigger waste of a sports channel. In my area it's on a good place on the dial too. ESPN, ESPN 2, ROOT Sports, Fox Sports 1, Golf Channel, and NBCSN in that order.

This is a prefect time for deregulation. People's TV viewing habits are changing rapidly. With the advent of Fiber, Sling, Roku etc it will be easier for schools and conferences to produce their own digital content and distribute.

That's why the off the wall suggestion of dividing into 2 basketball leagues while remaining 1 football league.

Would the NCAA allow that?

With 16 (arguably 18 is better) there is nothing stopping it. To make everyone happy you have to structure the football league as an independent entity where everyone has an equal vote and the protection of needing a 3/4ths vote for expulsion, exit fees and all that.

Or this:

One possible way around the FBS rule would be to go to 16 schools, have all 16 in the FBS conference but only 8 bring all sports. The other 8 form a non-fbs league of all sports minus football. That would be allowed under current rules, I believe, since as of now you need to have at least 8 all sports members to be an fbs league. 8 all sports plus 8 football only while the 8 football only have a separate league for basketball and other sports.

Our Mods need to give some warnings, no need for SB pissing matches here.

School pimping time is over.
