Title says it all

In the end this is about money. Money for the leagues/conferences and money for the teams and their communities.

This B1G led committee ensured two B1G teams and Notre Dame... so 3 of 4 home playoff games were taken by Midwestern teams in B1G country.

The fact Sankey let his conference get dicked over like this is a damn shame.

They ensued they will get more money from these playoffs as a conference than we will. They ensured their communities would benefit from the economical revenue and they made sure their individual universities would benefit financially for NIL and other investments.

This is an arms race and these dumb SEC fans of others teams don't realize how bad things are from this.

You were wrong. Extremely wrong and you continue to insist you weren't.

I mean the man does a have a point in a way.

It is about posturing.

But rather conspiracy, feels like it kind of worked out as a nice coincidence.

However in all things business, there is never just dumb luck. Only meticulous planning and agenda that you set forth for success.

They literally set a precedent then abandoned it. They had no explanation as well.

Saban challenged them by asking why certain teams with very bad SOS were ranked so highly in the first place and he side stepped it with some nonsense.

This has always been a B1G led committee and they have made sure the home games go to their area. They made sure they got 4 teams in. They made sure they got favorable matchups.

Yet I'm terrible because I'm focused on the facts.

There’s no consistent rationale that explains their actions week to week.

None.
