![]() ![]() What does ROY stand for? “Rest of y’all.” But back in our Power 3 fantasy, we’ll give Dabo Swinney, the dean of our conference’s football coaches, the honor of naming the new league. This league is completely fictional and theoretical, because unless someone in the ACC finds a way to get out of a grant of rights that lasts until June 30, 2036, then no one is leaving that league. So after careful consideration, here is my 16-school league that should turn the Power 2 into the Power 3. No one listens to me either, but Seth has tasked me with creating this conference. I personally don’t think that’s good for college football, but I don’t make those decisions and people don’t listen to me when it comes to that.” “If you get to that point, you want to make that cut. “I think that there could potentially be a cutoff where football tries to branch off and take to what would be maybe the top 30 teams in the country in somebody’s opinion - and that somebody would be television because they’re funding everybody’s athletic department through television money,” Gundy said. Basically, this would be a version of the future Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy discussed on SiriusXM on Tuesday in an interview with Gabe Ikard and Dusty Dvoracek. I’ll be adding members of the ACC, the Big 12 (old and new) and the Pac-12 to increase the value. The only way to make it truly valuable is to have it be a 16-team league that stretches from coast to coast. I feel for the volleyball, baseball and softball players in this league, because their travel schedule is going to be hellish. So on Seth’s orders, let’s create a league that would get some other schools paid. The Big Ten is about to get paid by … We don’t know, but we know the money will be enormous. The SEC is about to get paid by Disney/ESPN. We think Alabama will beat Auburn on Friday, but suddenly it’s the fourth quarter early Saturday evening and the Iron Bowl is hurtling toward overtime. We think Wisconsin will beat Minnesota, but things get a lot more interesting when the Badgers don’t. Well, sports has a built-in who-knows-what-might-happen factor. I don’t believe the slap was staged, but I do believe it will encourage at least a few more people to tune into the Oscars live next year for the who-knows-what-might-happen factor. You probably found out like I did - on social media afterward. Given that the broadcast received the second-lowest rating in its history - just ahead of last-year’s remote ceremony - you probably didn’t watch the slap live. If you don’t believe me, just consider Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards ceremony. I don’t think I can make more money than the SEC or the Big Ten - especially given what the Big Ten is about to pull in TV money - but I think I could create a league that would draw significant interest from television networks or streamers desperate to buy a chunk of the live sports audience, which is now the most valuable group in broadcasting because it’s the only one that consistently gathers to watch television programs in real time. ![]() The SEC just scooped up the two best properties on the board in Oklahoma and Texas. Who do you pick and would you make more money than those current conferences? The only teams you cannot pick are current or future SEC or Big Ten members. There are no stipulations on number of teams or geography. Any team that you select has to join your conference. You are now tasked with creating a conference to rival the SEC and Big Ten in terms of money earned. On the eve of a name-brand Final Four, you have college football questions about brands … ![]()
