It's hard to believe that SIXTEEN YEARS have passed since the Big Ten Network came to be, but without that much of this realignment stupidity doesn't come to pass.

Humans are greedy, film at 11.

(And yes, I think some have been able to manage and control their greed more properly, I know I make that effort.)

Eh, I blame the stupid greedy assholes in the conference HQs around the nation.  They didn't HAVE to sell out their sports just because the networks were offering money.

And then of course I have to blame the bosses of those conference HQ executives-- the presidents and chancellors and ADs of the universities.

Plenty of blame to go around.

If you really want to assign the lion's share of the blame, blame whoever was in the NCAA offices in 1984.

“We tried at every stage to negotiate an agreement of some kind, to limit what would happen. But we learned the ‘NCAA’ stood for ‘Never Compromise Anything at Anytime’ and they wouldn’t even talk to us,” Coats said.



Since the NCAA was unable or unwilling to fix the problem, someone else fixed it for them, and they didn't like how it got fixed. Sound familiar?

It's more fun to just blame OU (and Georgia) who were the original greedy bastages that sued the NCAA and started the path to the big bucks.

What's the over/under on the number of turnovers that Auburn would have to commit, in order to barf up a game against UMass?

Double-digits?

So Utah's QB is out and their great TE is a maybe.

Go Gators!

How many drives would Auburn get? Maybe that minus 1. Maybe.
