If it happens the ACC's potential partnership with the Pac-12 will have been a total failure.
Also I have a feeling Florida State will be the new Vanderbilt.
How is Clemson any different than Oregon? Major brand in a small media market. Does it add any value to the SEC? I would argue that Miami would be the better target.

If we do end up in the B10 I think we're going to see the expansion of more sports. Wrestling would likely come back and we'd need to add a M/W Hockey program but it'd all be paid for with the Fox $.
Just curious how being near Silicon Valley has worked out for Cal and Stanford?????????
Ha, I guess Brand doesn't matter. Pretty sure people buying your products and watching you on TV is more important than being in a big city with empty stadiums.
How many programmers are spending their weekends at college football games? What a weird flex. Trying to use an industry historically full of people who don’t give a crap about sports.
Slam the door on FOX and ESPN and create a massive streaming network in tandem with each school's NIL collective. Sign that deal with Apple TV to deliver the content. Work it out so that a sizable chunk of streaming revenue goes straight to the players with schools taking just enough to cover costs, even if that means temporarily contracting other sports.
Not sure if that would be feasible or compliant ha... but my thinking is if Fox/ESPN aren't going to play nice, then we fully leverage the power of NIL money to attract all the best talent away from the B1G and SEC.
Meanwhile, so many Americans are THIS CLOSE to cutting the cord with cable. I'd cut cable if I could watch the Ducks and Blazers on streaming services. Let's just speed this along and blow the whole thing up.

I can dream, right?
I like it! Big Ten and SEC can say screw it to tradition in college football, the other conferences can say screw it to traditionally watching college football on cable TV!
I’m not sure the partnerships but there are lots of steaming options, YouTube TV, Hulu Sports, Apple TV, Sling, they could even create their own streaming service too. I know next to nothing about the inner workings of televising college football but I say that this is a fantastic idea! This is especially good considering streaming services for Fox and ESPN are not the best.

Seems like it would cost Uncle Phil a ton for a streaking service that would only be used 1-2 days a week for 5 months of the year.
Doesn't matter if it's only used 1-2 days/week... all that matters with streaming is that people pay their monthly fees to access content. That's the beautiful thing about streaming. People will sign up for months of Netflix or Amazon Prime just to watch a few shows. How would college football be any different? I don't think it would be. I think it would actually be easier to keep fans permanently subscribed as long as they could access a baseline of unique content. Get cameras behind closed doors during practices, have exclusive postgame pregame and postgame coverage, exclusive interviews with players and coaches, etc... could do the same during the offseason, too. Highlight the youngins who are poised to become rotation players. Give us montages of scrimages. Could really play up QB battles and bring people closer to the compelling drama that we normally don't get to see. I could see a ton of potential for a no-holds-barred streaming service with nobody beholden to ESPN/FOX. I actually think that's where we'll end up someday.
Like I said, though, I'm not so naive that I think this would compete financially with the mammoth FOX and ESPN TV deals for the B1G and the SEC. I'm just fantastizing about how Oregon could buck tradition while sticking it to the man.

you mean programmers other than me. But true, he doesn't make much sense.

This is the most unique idea yet.
You'd have offer a significantly discounted yearly plan to dissuade people from going month to month and cancelling after football. Say, $10/month or $75 annually. The question is, realistically, how many subscribers can you get? According to SI, Colorado ranked in the middle of the Pac for viewers @ 366,000 per game. That number is guaranteed to go down with a streaming service, but if they were able to keep it at 300,000 per school, that's $22.5 million per institution. That is assuming ad revenue is enough to offset costs for programming, logistics, the tech infrastructure to run a streaming platform, and the army of employees you'd need. I have ZERO idea if that is feasible.
Some rumors are saying some ACC schools are gonna try to join the SEC, with two of them being Clemson and Florida State.
If it happens the ACC's potential partnership with the Pac-12 will have been a total failure.
Also I have a feeling Florida State will be the new Vanderbilt.
I know Florida State has been a dumpster fire but new Vanderbilt is a stretch. Too much money and tradition for that school not to turn around. However, I feel Clemson is going to return to being Clemson with Dabo saying his good byes in the near future.

Why do you think Dabo is going to leave soon?

Well the conventional wisdom is that when Nick retires Dabo will go to Tuscaloosa.

How do we know Dabo will go to Alabama? It's just weird.
