The SEC & Big 10 are on the clock, according to...

Sometimes, I wish you had an anger emoji option beneath your articles, lol.

By all means, give an ultimatum to the two conferences whose support you must have. Arrogance created this bill and arrogance will kill it. 

let it burn, or break off.  no one is interested in a Texas Tech vs North Carolina national championship game.    break off and have a big 10  vs SEC champion every year.  have programs like the sunbelt, Mac, and Wac agree to play the SEC and Big 10 for revenue and call it a day

Tell the congressional committee to take a long walk on a short  pier!

Even if you want to give the other side a deadline to respond or support, that timeline is ridiculous! They've been revising it as they go along. It's been a moving target. 

Maybe more importantly, what is the leverage for the threat? The Big 10 and SEC don't support, they threaten to pass it?! They support and it passes. OK!

I hope this doesn't pass but if it does I would hope the people voting on it actually know what's in it lmao. The local broadcast thing seems like a non-starter for just about everyone. Enshrining the big 10 and SEC into law that they can't expand beyond 19 teams is also completely ridiculous  

I thought DEI was bad?

Just say no.

Nope.  No pooled media rights .  No Forced scheduling.  No moratorium on conference expansion 

Kill it

What forced scheduling concept is on the table? Yuck.

I have a feeling even with changes both conferences will withhold support. To get a better bill. We will see. But Congress is notorious for slipping things in a Bill  last minute. Or amendments  oted on the floor etc.  Don't blame both Conferences to say give us more time. They can't pass without their support anyway.

 Not encouraging comment by Big 10 Commish. Good luck to them without Big and SEC support.

Sankey and Petitti are playing this well after the turd sandwich opening draft. Stroke the congressional ego by negotiating in good faith and blame the inevitable rejection on your presidents and their constituents.

Petitti talking up the obvious TV merits of a super league was an eye-opening tell. Once the Big Ten and SEC get the individual conference governance worked out, and they will, the next step is much easier. 

DOA

S L O W  P L A Y !

They have no cards!

Definitely kill it.  You can not punish the 2 conferences that have kept college sports afloat.  Further not every school can afford the price tag that has been associated with this bill.  Who is going to make up the difference?  Federal or state govt.?  Hiking already bloated tuition or per class costs? 

I think the SEC, Big10, ESPN and Fox should announce they are holding a closed door summit to save College Sports and watch the collective others’ heads explode.  Time to unify and quit trying to appease the pretenders!

If I understand what you said in your column this morning correctly the bill requires Texas to play Tech in football? I'm not seeing that anywhere in the Bill maybe I misunderstood what you were stating.

 Not expected to meet deadline 🤣

If this ever passes, best believe everybody will want Jersey patches etc. 48.8 million cap.
