Not that I’ve really been seeking out opinions, but almost everything I’ve seen so far indicates Alabama doesn’t think they have a chance.

FCS schools wanting to form a new FBS football-only conference

Crazy... Tarleton (Beasley's a coach there) just moved up from DII to FCS two years ago and 20 years ago, Utah Tech (then "Dixie State") was a JUCO competing against Butler, Garden City, etc. North Alabama and Central Arkansas were both DII schools in the last 20 years too.

Yeah, with the expanded playoff, this definitely isn't done. I wouldn't be surprised to see the autonomy five start to flex their muscles here and redefine the standards for playing FBS football. They don't want more mouths to feed.

UTRGV could be trying to go directly from no program to FBS based on the stated timelines (I’m sure there will be alterations to the timelines)

Don't let the door hit on the way out and don't forget to drop the bags of money on the table before you go.

Yes, I will be very very displeased with our conference leadership unless we get every last cent owed to us by UT and OU.  Zero discounts.

I want to see them stay till the bitter end and both have road games at all 4 of the new teams in the final year. @Cinci, @UCF, @Houston, @BYU.

If you dig back through Bob's tweet he talks about how he thought a deal like this could happen. His speculation was it would involve a lot of horse trading between Fox and ESPN behind the scenes to make each of them whole as well as giving the Big 12 the cash they need to agree.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Don't stop at 100% of remaining.  Get a premium for letting out early.

SEC is probably going to be asking for a discount what with everything happening at UT right now

UCLA to cut Cal a check for 2-5M or 10M annually?  Depending on who's tweet is more accurate.
