Subject: Money Always Talks, But So Does Winning Author: An Observer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:33:13 01/27/26 Tue In reply to: An Observer 's message, "For Once, Money Does Not Talk" on 14:45:14 01/23/26 Fri Here's an article which, while not making a convincing case in my opinion, does essentially say, "Hey, Big Ten, you're winning national championships in the current structure. Don't mess with a good thing." https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/as-indiana-wins-big-tens-third-straight-title-the-conference-needs-to-rethink-its-stance-on-playoff-expansion-161929763.html The counterargument is, "We could still win in an expanded field AND make more money." But this is my point in the post immediately above: While everybody want mo' money, mo' money, mo' money, the conferences do recognize that they have long-term strategic interest in winning on the field, no matter how much the cash registers are ringing. Cha-ching! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
