These "power" schools get $30Mill minimum extra per year (compliments of ESPN) and most of them aren't "power" under any definition.

The P4-G6 split is no solution as G4-P6 is nothing but an ESPN construct.
By all rights the Big 12 should be G7; but instead, ESPN gave them a raise after they lost Texas and OU becaue they needed more inventory for their P division. Texas Tech the big dog in a "power" league. Sure.

This is true, though. They caved after that bad call.
Just like the RedSox the following year. There was still a game 7 to play, but they were finished after game 6.
I find that in general teams and player don't stew after bad breaks like they used to.
Just need a couple of good trades to bring in young players. But those are 1/2 luck really; some work out, most don't.

Saban and Smarth, the 2 top coaches of this era were defensive coaches.
OU's own Stoops was a defensive coach.

Johnson got in - refs missed it.
Shough got in - refs missed it.
Shough didn't get in - refs missed it. Egregious facemask: refs missed it.

DeShaun wasn't terrible on Sunday; and that's with the Browns getting stomped pillar to post.
Better than Mathew Stafford.

But it would be interesting. LSU might start its own conference. Or its own league....,its own world. They could get some joiners....real realignment.

Bielema has that Mark Mangino/King-Kong Bundy/Abe Gibron look perfected.

re: Why couldn’t tom Osborne win a title until 1994?

I think he just didn't want to be a wimp. Go for it, try to win the game.
But really, given that mindset, he should have gone for 2 when Nebraska cut the lead to 8. That would have effectively him 2 chances at it. Had he missed it when the lead was 8, he could have tried it again to tie the game, and looked like a hero.
That said, kick the extra point, and they win the championship.

Because he was too proud/sporting to kick the extra point in 1984.

Or maybe the layoffs are to help finance the gargantuan TV contracts given to the SEC and, most curiously the Big 12 (who got a massive raise after losing their 2 big water-carriers OU and Texas).
Overall, 'buying' at the deadline is bad business. Or at least young-for-old trades generally are.
Trading for average starters that are wishcasted/hyped as to something more is bad business (Shane Baz, MacKenzie Gore et al). This year's prime candidate: Reid Detmers.

I don't blame the courts for this.
The blame falls on Texas Tech. Why are they even fooling around with this guy? It's pitiful. Texas Tech should be CFP banned for 3 years.

I think Dana Brown has done pretty well cobbling together reasonably competitive teams. The problem is that he has very little to trade: the farm sucks.
And that's the real problem. Fire those responsible for that situation (which may be Brown).
