Yep. But I love the old school Wing-T ball, and they were both trading some licks. Just a great game.

Western Kentucky does have NIL money. The service academies do not.

Right.

Because the entrance requirements for Western Kentucky and West Point are basically identical.

Of course it was. CBS didn’t really broadcast as many games as all the other networks.

Western Kentucky gets to recruit anyone

Service academies have a pool limited to who is willing to enlist

CBS gets the left over games from the B1G and they were all shite this year except Oregon-Indiana and no one thought Indiana would end up where they are


Yeah. CBS is paying B1G about 10x more than they did the SEC for less than half of the viewers they had. CBS screwed this one up.

They made such a great decision to drop the SEC


CBS didn't decide to drop the SEC.

The SEC told CBS to frick off when they asked for an extension, after having refused to increase the rates they agreed in 2008 when the conference expanded in 2012. SEC office told CBS they would regret it, and didn't let go of the grudge.

You do realize the requirements it takes to get into the service academies don't you?
