12-Team Playoff On the Way; 14-Team to Follow

B1G payout going up to $75M per school next year.  Was $63.2M this past year.  SEC was $52.5M.

B1G extra payout largely tied to playing nine conference games.  SEC would be more likely to go to nine if they had guaranteed playoff spots.

 


That's likely to be the playoff route if SEC decides to implement a 9-game conference schedule. I can't see them adding another 8 losses to the collective ledger without a guarantee it won't cost them spots in the playoff.

Apparently you haven't seen how many people have been taking that quote 100% seriously?

Holy group brain farts, Batman!

 
And here we have an Oklahoma writer taking that plus his comment on how the Big Ten plays 9 conference games vs the SEC's 8 and spinning it as Rhule trying to kill the 2029-30 Nebraska-OU series.  :facepalm:   He also says Rhule probably won't be around for those games. Like buddy, Venables's record at OU isn't that much better than Rhule's at Nebraska (.564 vs .480, 1 winning season out of 3 vs 1 of 2), and Venables took over a VASTLY better situation than Rhule did.
