    I just feel like money has diminished return. The most successful teams aren't necessarily the richest. Don't get me wrong you need a certain level but once you have that then putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage for more money seems dumb.

    As far as where the rights go I just want whatever makes it easiest to access north of the border. I hope Kliavkoff keeps me in mind

    It's not just the immediate $ payoff that matters. All of the blue bloods are consolidating into two super conferences. If UW wants to be one, they have to join. The west is already bleeding talent and relevance eastward. Imagine how bad that's going to be when the two relevant LA schools leave the west as well?

    I don't want to fight for tallest midget status with an outside shot at upsetting someone in the playoffs with our scrappy band of 3* recruits and portal castoffs from the super leagues. That sounds pretty lame.
    Couldn't have said it better myself. Those are my exact concerns.

    If Clemson, FSU, and Miami join the SEC everything is fucked and UW should sell its soul to get into the B1G.

    But that hasn't happened yet, and the ACC has more titles recently than the B1G does.

    If the ACC survives, so does the PAC. We are still a long ways off from two super conferences.

    This scenario is the central assumption for me. I'm not sure I'd change my mind if it were taken away but I'd reevaluate.
    I just don't see it. Both FSU and Clemson proved they can go head to head with the SEC on the biggest stage and win natties.

    Why would they give up an easier path to consistent playoffs for a few extra millions? I don't think they will
    FSU and Clemson are situated in much more fertile recruiting territory

    Has the game passed Dabo by?

    Won't matter if we continue to kick ass in the portal. It's not like we are taking scrubs. We are taking proven players.

    Maybe, but they have a coach that has played in 4 title games and won two of them.

    No one in the B1G compares.

    FSU also beat a tuff SEC team for the title.

    It's not 2012 anymore

    That was 3 or 4 coaches ago

    And it's not 2018 Clemson

    In 2022 the B1G had 2 teams in

    Not a coincidence

    Clemson was a QB away this year.
