Go ahead and let them strike, only would be hurting themselves.And when they decide to go on strike during the season. What does that look like to you?

Really? I'm guessing maybe these parties would be hurt:Go ahead and let them strike, only would be hurting themselves.
All of those lose revenue and the players lose revenue.Really? I'm guessing maybe these parties would be hurt:
- ESPN, Fox and other TV networks.
- The universities themselves lose a ton of revenue
- All of the hotels, restaurants and bars in the vicinity of games
- The youth soccer programs that work stadium concessions to raise the money they need for the season
- etc. etc.
The Big 10 has a seven year contract that includes CBS and NBC. I wonder how this will work out? Fox games go to a streaming service and CBS and NBC broadcast as they do now? Do CBS broadcast all their games to Paramount+ forcing the viewer to purchase that streaming service too? Would the consumer end up having to buy multiple streaming services and end up with a bill comparable to cable to get the same sport coverage they have now?Meant to also post this a couple days ago when it was annouced:
Sports streaming deal with ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery: What it means for viewers
A huge new sports streaming service is scheduled to launch this fall with content from all the major sports, but what does it mean for viewers?www.usatoday.com
Would be a big deal to NCAA football as ESPN & Fox are the big players and would basically move this sport to primarily a streaming entity.
Does he still wrestle?To The Victors goes the spoils:

Probably heading towards pay per view for all sports. Got to pay for those billion dollar broadcast rights you know.The Big 10 has a seven year contract that includes CBS and NBC.

I've been getting mentally prepared for that. Less sports viewing, more everything else.Probably heading towards pay per view for all sports. Got to pay for those billion dollar broadcast rights you know.
Honestly though, the current TV viewing experience for a college game is not enjoyable with one hour plus of commercials and innumerable delays for review. In contrast I attend an occasional SoCon FBS game. Kick at 1pm, often on the road home at 3:30.I've been getting mentally prepared for that. Less sports viewing, more everything else.
Some times I will start recording a game, wait an hour or so and start watch the recording. I fast forward the commercials and end up catching up with the live broadcast before the game has ended.Honestly though, the current TV viewing experience for a college game is not enjoyable with one hour plus of commercials and innumerable delays for review.

Even though that seems like it would make sense, it can't happen. Ohio State athletics, Michigan athletics, are tied to ALL the sports. Yes, the networks pay for football, but that money then goes to the schools athletic departments. Obviously football would be ok with it, but you'd literally end most of the other sports at the college level becasue they'd have no revenue.At this point major college football is destroying college athletics.
The top 64, or whatever, need to break away from the NCAA and form their own football only organization and break it into whatever divisional line ups and playoff system they desire.
The rest of college athletics can go back to normal with mostly sensible and traditional geographic leagues under NCAA governance. For example, the PAC 12 can be re-formed for all sports but football, while the football programs of those schools are flung all over the place and governed by a different body.
Kind of shocked that Fox or anyone else didn't get in on this thing, this doesn't pass the smell test.And speaking of money:
CFP, ESPN agree to 6-year, $7.8 billion extension: Sources
The full contract’s completion is still contingent on CFP leaders finalizing details of the expanded format.theathletic.com
Or did they?Kind of shocked that Fox or anyone else didn't get in on this thing, this doesn't pass the smell test.

Pure speculation, but the CFP could be headed to pay per view streaming instead of broadcast or cable.

A lot of reports out that this was an inaccurate column and there have been no talks about media rights as they still need to navigate how the playoffs will be laid out before talking $s. Nobody is quite sure who planted the story as many fully expect a more formal multi company bid to be done before announcing the final package. Also of note are the initial studies by ESPN & FOX show that the 1st round games might not be as desirable as the CFP was hoping especially if they have to be played on a mid-week night to accommodate the NFL's December schedule which includes games Saturday-Monday.And speaking of money:

Interesting. In retrospect, the lack of protest by the other media outlets might be telling .A lot of reports out that this was an inaccurate column and there have been no talks about media rights as they still need to navigate how the playoffs will be laid out before talking $s.

Although it does not specify G5, the five highest ranked conference champs would have to include a G5 since there are now only 4 of the original P5 conferences left.So the highest ranked group of 5 school gets in, regardless of how high they are ranked?
You have to put Tennessee in there somewhere. They looked awful tough with Nico Iamaleava at QB in the Citrus bowl. They just might win the SEC next year.Way to early CFB SP+ rankings:
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon
4. Texas
5. Michigan
6. Alabama
7. Penn State
8. Ole Miss
9. Notre Dame
10. LSU
11. Mizzou
12. Florida State
College Football: Initial SP+ Top 25 Released for 2024
What will the 12-team field look like in 2024?fightingirishwire.usatoday.com
Pending if the CFP includes the G5 or not, are these teams the participants in the first ever FBS 22 team platoffs?
I think this was done to buy their votes for the format. The next two years are basically a transition anyway until the the long game kicks in starting in 2026, there might be some weird results like a 11-1 Liberty ranked 18 getting in but that will be OK for a couple of years. Either it will be a couple of one off type champs or more than likely the end of the 4 school playoff era that was dominated by the big names of the game.At first glance that doesn’t seem to make sense. So they could be outside the top 12 and get in?
