Well, as I see it, if FSU can bring a non-frivolous lawsuit against the ACC alleging anti-trust violations, then the non-P2 should certainly be able to bring the same against the P2 in the event of a breakaway.
Then the NCAA should institute a real championship like they do in other football divisions. Leave out the p2. The ncaa tag still has weight.
The 2.8 billion pays former players? Does the ncca pay that or UH etc?
Or is part of the settlement up to 20 mil schools can pay for current players part of that 2 bill settlement?
How does the 10 yr timeframe play into all this bc I read it’s a 10 yr deal. Is the 10 yr deal for the 2.8 bill or the pay for play?
We are grown people and there is no need to have censorship to protect us from posts. I know the cancel culture is prevalent among many, but hopefully not here.
Actually, I am putting this post out to obsess about UH Athletics in the future (should the P2 college football world move on to greener money without the Big12 or ACC).
Hold it! Isn’t this precisely the behavior that UHLaw97 says would be actionable? I don’t get how it would be illegal for SEC/Big 10 to drop other schools from sports schedules, but it would be an acceptable response for the non-SEC/Big 10 schools to do the very same thing.
And if the non-SEC/Big 10 schools threatened to leave the P2 behind, wouldn’t that be exactly the same thing as if the P2 left the non-SEC/Big 10 schools behind?
Big12 is the former pac12 withstrong central time zone exposure .
Look at when games are played in this league.
If the ACC can stabilize and get a fair media deal a scheuling agreement between the big 12 and ACC has the potential to rival them in football but more so in basketball. Add the Big East and “break away” from the sec and big 10. Make them irrelevant in college sports from Jan through April.
THANK YOU
THIS IS ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT I WAS THINKING.
And when you start to think about the possibilities, you also realize that
- SEC/B1G breaking away with 48 teams isn’t likely to happen.
• They don’t want another college league with its own TV contract competing against it with games on TV at the same prime time TV slots. - Even if the SEC/B1G did go this way, the Big12/ACC/PAC could add some other promising teams from G5 and have a competitive league. Especially Basketball.
Money is paid out by the P5 conferences/schools that accept the settlement. (any school not agreeing would be open to further lawsuits.)
I believe the settlements are tied together on paper but the money from one is separate (ie. same court) from the other. 2.8 to past players and 20+ annually to current/future players.
10 years are which past players are eligible to claim compensation. They must have played college sports within the last 10 years. So someone that played in 1990 cannot claim pat of the 2.8B.
