Speaker 1 (00:04):
I mentioned this a little bit earlier in the show,
but kind of expand on a little bit more. We
had several teams opt out of the College Football Playoff,
including Notre Dame, which was the biggest splash, and then
the ball games of Iowa State and Baylor in Kansas State.
Kansas State and Iowa State are in the mids, are
in the midst of coaching changes, and Baylor is just
(00:26):
trying to regroup after a SOCO season, and the Big
Twelve is finding them five hundred thousand dollars. As I
mentioned a little bit earlier, this is money that these
conferences are not going to get. Now the Big Twelve
is not going to get because Iowa State in Baylor
could be in ballgames. Notre Dame was going to be
in a bowl game, and it got BYU into a
(00:47):
game that they would have probably not gotten as good
of a matchup. But that's Notre Dame. My thought kind
of patted a little bit when they didn't get their
way and didn't get of the College Football Playoff, But
there's got to be a better way of making sure
that the teams that are supposed to be in the
CFP or there. But guess what if we go to
(01:07):
fourteen teams next year, or sixteen or twenty four or
thirty six or forty eight, There's always going to be
somebody that says I should have been left out. And
this year, I think more people agree. That was Alabama
and the reaction that I got because I walked into
the building at the Basketball Arena in Alabama yesterday at
the exact same time that they were announcing the teams,
(01:27):
and I looked up on the board and they had
not announced Alabama yet, and there was probably about one
thousand people in the building, and as soon as Alabama
was announced, there was not a loud roar, There was
not this unbelievable greatness, and it was a sigh of relief.
There was a few people clapping and going, yeah, we're
(01:48):
number one, when they clearly weren't.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It. Oh thank god.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But it was like, oh my god, they let us in.
Thank god we got in, because I don't think they
wanted to go to the Peach Bowl or wherever they
were going to go after that again. They wanted to
be in the CFP and they and I even talked
to their radio anouncer and he said, yeah, I was
getting ready to do the interview with Nate Oates, and
we needed to find out whether we made the CFP
(02:11):
or not. As soon as we found out, we could
do our interview because it all roovolves around football there,
so I'm sure whatever they talked about was was partially
about that. But this is this is the controversy that
you're going to have when you have a committee picking things.
And Notre Dame if they were in a conference and
had won that conference, and listen, if Notre Dame was
in the ACC and football like they are in every
(02:32):
other sport, maybe they win win the league. And I'm
sure that if I'm sure that if Notre Dame would
want to make a deal with the ACC, they would
probably figure out a way to let Notre Dame keep
the NBC money. Uh, They're they're they're not sharing it
anyway when they play ACC opponents as non conference as
non conference teams, and that to me, that's the only
(02:54):
reason Notre Dame doesn't want to be in a football
conference is that. And I don't remember what the numbers
are that they're getting from that they're getting from the
from NBC right now, but whatever it is, they don't
want to share it. With anybody. Well, if you don't
want to share it with anybody, occasionally you may get
left out when it comes to picking teams because everybody
else is in a league.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's that's unfortunately. Also the harsh reality of college football
nowadays is that obviously for a while players have been
opted out for the NFL Draft reasons. But now and
last year we saw with Marshall, now that with with
the escalated, with the escalated I guess you called it
escalated schedule as we get closer to signing period and
the and the and the trash reportal because the transport
is now only like a ten day period once. Now
(03:33):
everything is sped up to the point where now after
a team is done, they're five and seven, they moved on.
They they don't they the team is no longer together
the way once was. Players are leaving. So like unfortunately,
you know, Notre Dame is different. Notre Dame just like
they they decommitted the day it happened. Uh, Kansas State
and Iowa State, as you pointed out, they were but
eligible they're expected to playing a bowl game and they
said no. So that's why they're fine. These are five
(03:54):
and seven teams unfortunately are getting grouped in there. But
in this new ara of college football, I don't think
this is going to stop it anytime soon, especially because
the gap between the final season, the final game with
the regular season and bowl and the bowl game falls
right align with the transfer portal and all this stuff
is way too close. And so this is really just
the start of what's going to continue.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
To well, as we've documented a million times, if they
would get rid of the December signing period, go back
to February and not have and and start the season
a week early, the championship game would be on New
Year's Eve or New Year's Night, and we wouldn't have
to worry about this. But but and I heard Colin
and and Mike McIntyre talking today about getting rid of
(04:35):
these other bowl games. To one's ever getting rid of them.
They all make money, they're all profitable, they all they
all give money to a charity, which the NCAA and
sports in general lots.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's not the ballgame's fault.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
The ball games are are fine, and they're doing better
than ever, and people watch them. ESPN would not invest
the resources and the time and the money to basically
have a monopoly on every ball game, with the exception
of one or two really small ones, every single bowl
game is on ESPN, and they've got them staggered out
on days starting about the December eighteenth or nineteenth through
(05:08):
the championship game in January because they want people to
have an option that's something that's football, and they know
they can make money on it, and they know you're
going to watch it, and they know the sponsors are
going to take care of that. All right, let's hear
from dry Fox. We'll talk about TCU and USC coming
up in a bit, and how all of this kind
of comes to a head when it comes time to
(05:29):
get ready for a college football You work all year
for one day and now it's getting ready for the
game coming up on December thirtieth. That's next. It's the
