Big Ten preview games this season:
- Week 3: Washington @ Michigan State
- Week 7: Oregon @ Washington
- Week 10: Washington @ USC
- Week 11: USC @ Oregon
- Week 12: UCLA @ USC
Via The Athletic: "One source noted that the Big Ten would likely not act until it sees what happens with the Big 12 and the Pac-12.
The Big Ten does not want to be the one to cause the death of the Pac-12 Conference."
That was Wednesday.
And my interest in watching college football hits the floor.
NCAA made a big mistake by not regulating the number of conferences and teams in each. This is all being driven by TV dollars and it’s not going to end well for anyone but the Top 40 or so programs.
I wonder what world we would have been in if the NCAA had aggressively pursued TV contracts in the 50s-80s rather than restricting it to one game a week and one game per team per year. They lost control by trying to ignore the money that was out there.
A stronger NCAA sounds terrible and yet better than what we have.
This fucking sucks.
However, Wisconsin and Washington better be playing for a giant fucking W.
