Topic:  Where's MAC/NCAA Leadership? Author Message Kevin Finnegan General User Member Since: 2/4/2005 Location: Rockton, IL Post Count: 1,144 Status: Offline     Where's MAC/NCAA Leadership?    Posted: 7/31/2020 10:53:32 AM  How come we haven't heard much about the MAC schedule (unless I'm missing it)? ACC, SEC, Big 10 all coming out. Once again, we look bush league. Of course, it's a money thing as we need those conference to be sustainable. But the MAC needs to get their voice out there. And, for that matter, so does the NCAA. Please, NCAA, let this be the year that you say you're making changes (for a single year) to the bowl system. Hell, make it a bubble. 16 teams, four weeks. All conference winners get in, at large bids for the remainder, no other bowl games. Seems pretty straight-forward and the perfect year to give it a go.

Most of the "P"s are looking at 10-game schedules with all or nearly all being against conference opponents. Gs might try to fill in holes with other Gs but they might have to go conference-only as well. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

If they want to try and match a 10-game schedule like the SEC, Big Ten or PAC 12, they'll either need to make every team play another twice or go out of conference. The MAC could easily go with a 10-game conference-only schedule and be done with it, but to me it looks like they're waiting for paychecks.

If it looks like their hand was forced by the P5 schools, they can win that argument in court seven days a week and twice on Sunday. Would rather ensure they can still get paid for those games even though clearly they weren't going to make any attempt either to play the game Back to Top The Optimist General User Member Since: 3/16/2007 Location: CLE Post Count: 5,573 Status: Offline     RE: Where's MAC/NCAA Leadership?    Posted: 8/4/2020 12:45:14 AM  Buckeye to Bobcat wrote: The G5 schools aren't doing anything for legal purposes.

At this point we are playing, all our non-league contest are totally dependent upon the big boys and the little boys/other conferences. Not sure what you are looking for?

I suspect those contracts could be in "renegotiation" as we speak, but the money is still there or there wouldn't be a season. TV ratings will probably be up and advertisers might be forced to cough up more dough since fans can't be in the stands. I say that not just because the fans who would be in the stands will be watching but because there is just a high demand right now for live entertainment and college football will probably clean up TV-wise as long as it happens.

Well if more schools are projecting like Wisconsin is projecting, their may not be as much money as we all think. https://twitter.com/ESPNRittenberg/status/129102671478571... There's a reason D2 and D3 Fall Championships just got cancelled. There just simply won't be enough money to pay for all this. The NBA spent $75 million on their bubble in Orlando between all the testing, quarantining of players and facilities. I'm afraid that some of these Group of Five schools just simply won't be able to do it financially, including Ohio.

Michigan just sent an email out talking about no football=$120 million hit for them. These schools, although we think they make a TON of money, are non-profits. Therefore, they have to spend profits or give back to the general fund. Not like they got a warchest sitting around like Apple does.

Nope. not one bit. but I feel bad for the workers involved with gameday operations.
