Do y'all see any purpose to these things (beyond filling air time etc.)?
Obviously, they are media events, OK fine, but does any real information come out of them?
-
It's just fluff for the fans mostly.
-
coach speak
-
Yeah I have no idea what "the fans" even get out of it. I'm a fan and consider the conference media days to be completely useless.
-
Something for the media to do for a week.
-
Urban Meyer had a rather eventful Big Ten Media day once.
-
Buying a glossy error ridden. College football magazine is 100000x more desirable to me than consuming one second of content from media days.

I turned it on this morning
it's what we all expected
Bert rambles..

Sounds boring.

F Notre Dame
-
I think we all understand there are two conferences now, that are "real", and two more than might have a team or two that is real on occasion.
It's disappointing, but such is life.
Most of the "news" from the SEC MD was about who said something about FSU and Clemson. Boring. I don't care.
I think allowing some media exposure for three players is not a terrible thing, usually.
-
it's better than 99% of the other stuff in the media
-
F Notre Dame
I want ND in the playoff if they're good enough.
-
I want to keep them out until they join the B1G
-
Interestingly, of course, or not, if ND is "The Best Team" some year, they'd be a 5 seed, which we've discussed COULD be an advantage over a 4 seed (or not).
Is the one seed a large enough advantage? In some year when ND is clearly a powerhouse, the 1 seed gets them first, hoping they are tired.
-

I think they should make the playoffs every single year.
The FCS playoffs.
-
Notre Dame would be a great fit in the Big Ten. ND has huge fan base, they're local, they have big media money, great football tradition, high end academics, AAU member, rivals within the Big Ten...all make ND a perfect fit. Having said that, I'd like to see them request membership only to have Michigan black ball them again.
-
I don't care if they ever join a conference or not. I don't think every team needs to be in a conference, I don't think all conferences need to look the same, and I don't think a playoff needs all conferences to look the same.
-
I want to force the Irish to join the B1G solely for selfish reasons
the $$$ they bring to the table
-
I don't want any more insufferable arrogance in the conference. We have enough, and that was before Oregon and USC showed up.
-
I look for them to make some arrangement with the ACC where they effectively join for football but with special status on TV revenue. Then they get to play in the ACC CG.
Face it, if you want to win a conference championship, would you prefer to be in the ACC or B1G? Just the pure numbers militate for the former.
The ACC also is a good academic fit, to the extent that is relevant to anything, and they have some history there already.

With Dook, Miami, Pitt, UNC, UVA, GT, Cal and Stanford, sure. Those are not like the others.
-
The ACC schools often are very good undergraduate with less than elite graduate programs, like Notre Dame. Wake Forest and Syracuse and BC have a solid undergraduate program. FSU and Clemson are pretty decent. NS State is OK. They don't really have a weak university academically I think, Laville I guess.
I forget who all is in the ACC.

Syracuse University pulls out of research consortium because new criteria doesn't match school's strengths - syracuse.com (https://www.syracuse.com/news/2011/05/syracuse_university_pulls_out.html)
Kind of interesting, to me.
SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor said new membership criteria gave more weight to universities with medical complexes and large science and engineering departments. SU’s “undisputed pre-eminence,” she said, lies in areas such as architecture, public affairs and information studies.

IMHO, ND is NOT a great fit because their academics are not up to our standards.
You are obviously referring to undergrad academics and ND is very strong there, they'd be one of the best in the B1G but their graduate programs are VERY weak by B1G standards.

thought Dan Lanning would just jump to SEC soon as he could.
with Oregon joining the B1G with UCLA, Washington, and USC and the playoff going to 12 wonder if Lanning winds up staying put for the long haul in Oregon now.

Oregon is a great place to be HC. You have enormous financial support, and relatively low expectations.
-
Matt Rhule was commended for speaking about academics
it's not about academics
it's about football $$$
-
I really don't get talk about academics related to college football unless your football team is bad.

From the Badger 247 Board:
“Just to get this far, they have overcome insane odds. In the US, there are just over a million players at the high school level. Of those, 73,712 make it to the NCAA level, representing just 7.3% of the talent pool. At any one time, just over 16,000 are draft eligible, which is only 1.6% of that college player pool. And then only 259 players will be drafted. That is a minuscule 0.016% of the draft-eligible NCAA pool. It is awe-inspiring when you think of it.
Having already been in the select 0.01% of the top 1.6% of the top 7.3% of the nation, the chosen players might be dismayed to learn that only 30% of those drafted will ever make it onto an NFL roster.
Of course, this number is skewed and isn’t a straight line across the board. The players taken in the first and second rounds will definitely be on the opening day roster, barring some unforeseen injury or something. But the players taken in the sixth and seventh rounds may have only a 10% or 15% chance, at least in the first year or two. When you factor in that the average career in the NFL is only three years, then you understand the high attrition rate in the sport.”

true but I thought being stuck in Pac would ultimately make him leave. obviously Oregon's fortunes have changed dramatically now being in the B1G. seems like going forward if you're not in the SEC or the B1G you're basically a poor.

did anyone comment on DeShaun Foster's opening statement?
he seemed to be out of his element
