How about “for the sake of the program”, everybody @TexasTech stops talking and doing interviews on @DoubleT973? @robertgio, let’s discuss.

It’s not just Oregon, it’s a CFB challenge. OL is HARD. And to be frank, I believe the money some young players are making has impacted their hunger and resolve to develop.
Development isn’t a one-way street. Some players think coaches wave a magic wand and BOOM, they become better players. It can be ugly and uncomfortable. And that’ll never change.
But early financial success can create a false sense of arrival. So the discomfort can turn to DISCONTENT real fast. So coaches have to now manage that.
We’re all witnessing a period of developmental purgatory while the game course corrects… and it will.

The PCSA was drafted to maintain current conferences & prevent formation of a college 🏈 super league.
But in a twist of irony, the push for the bill may have done the opposite.
Schools are becoming more biz savvy with athletic programs and independence is an option for some.
NEW: If independence works for Miami, it would also work for a lot of other schools, via @AndyStaples👀
"If Miami can find a way to financially exceed what it makes in the ACC by going independent, there probably are another 20-30 schools that also could."

A bowl executive told @On3 the bowl would rather fold than abandon decades of tradition as a power conference game by becoming a G6 vs. G6 matchup in 2027. They may get their wish
NEW: Bowl games have hit the iceberg — and eight directors meet today to figure out how to survive when the CFP expands to 24 teams in 2027 👀
"We don't want to be the band members playing on the deck as the ship sinks."

Big Ten source told me: “ ‘Immediate’ seems extreme. Lots of logistics, current entanglements to be worked out. Maybe some games (in 2027), but anything holistic seems to have a longer path.”
NEW: Joel Klatt says there are scheduling agreements in place for when the College Football Playoff officially expands👀
"The next thing that will happen almost immediately is we’re going to get scheduling agreements between the SEC and the Big Ten. Top-end matchups, mid-tier matchups, low-end matchups, and we’re going to be expanding the valuable matchups in the non-conference, far surpassing what we have now."

It was good to see Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark in Ames today. I asked him if that BYU game over the weekend gave the league a little bit of mojo going into the rest of the season.

It’s a rough day for the “We don’t need to expand the playoff because only 6 teams can win”
It’s a new era. Parity is here. Chaos is here.
We need to determine the champion on the field not a board room. More teams helps get us there.

Asked coaches their take on the 24-team CFP. One Sun Belt head coach said he’s “good with” the expansion, adding: “We need a G6 playoff. Let us compete for something; if not, what are we going to do? I think our own Playoff would be better.” And then, he explained how it’d work.
“I used to never miss a college basketball game. I only watch the (NCAA) Tournament now. I pray that doesn’t happen to our game.”
Coaches fear ‘unintended consequences’ of CFP expansion. What I’m Hearing in college football:
