I think this is a better quality Marshall pushing for a CUSA split thread.

Let's not forget this thread.

I wonder if I make a post about the length of this thread if it will help make the thread go away.

I'll have to do it later, I'm a little too busy right now to make a post.

This is a really long thread but I'm too busy to add anything of substance.

We could try to derail the thread with a thoughtful conversation about evolution of porn since the groundbreaking 1972 movie Deep Throat

I felt that Behind the Green Door displayed more nuance.

I fear this thread is going to have serious repercussions on my search history algorithms

Incognito mode is your friend.

Even more reason to kick Marshall out

OR, we could discuss how do you know when you see hard core porn?

You’ll know it when you see it.

This is the key. Doing well guarantees you of having your staff pillaged. G5 schools will go up and down. Not investing, or not trying, is a choice though.

This is an example as to why this is a superior thread to the other thread on the same exact topic.

Winning at the right time matters. CUSA has failed to win at the right time over and over again. Its not about markets and its not about conference titles. Its about beating teams you aren't supposed to beat and getting a team in the NY6. CUSA has not done a good enough job with either. Our branding is deplorable and our tv deal is something out of a B movie. It makes no sense. Props to the Sunbelt for winning some big games last year and for being willing to play on weekdays when CUSA teams wouldn't. Even the MAC has two BCS/NY6 appearances.

(08-27-2021 07:23 PM)UAB Band Dad Wrote:  The Alliance isn't pointless. They're looking to offset the SEC and ESPN somehow. They are 41 votes to the SEC's 16, plus the L8's 8. Their number one priority right now is to ensure that TV rights stay split up and competed for. That is particularly true of the playoff. If ESPN/ABC gets to broadcast the entire twelve team playoff they will have many more of the most watched games of the season. Fox needs those for the exposure and the cash flow, and all the teams need two bidders if they want to get maximum return for selling the broadcast rights to the playoff.

Remember also that the NCAA Convention is coming up. Those 41 votes might become very important in setting policy there as well.

I thought this post made more sense in this thread.

The one thing I'd point out though is the Alliance isn't 41 votes to the SEC's 16. They are THREE votes to the SEC's one. Or the SEC/Big12's two votes.

Every committee is 5 P5 votes, everyone else gets a combined 5 votes.
