Dang, the BIG and SEC really do really pull away. But what happens in 2026 that gives the SEC that massive boost. They end up $10 million ahead of the BIG. Probably the CFP Expansion hitting. It's notable that these projections are estimating future CFP playoff payments and March Madness win shares, and may be overly rosy for some conferences. A lot of people seem to be confusing TV deal payouts with these numbers (or deliberately mixing-and-matching in comparisons).

I didn't read the fine print and was thinking these are the per school guarantees, which do seem high.

It all really is insane. People normalize things pretty quickly so you just get used to all the moves, but these massive changes and the possible implosion of the PAC is just wild.

Keith Jackson in 2005: "Traditions not only give continuity to the sport but to an entire school, it keeps the school in contact with alumni. Football helps bring alums back to campus which by the way helps fund raising quite a bit." College Presidents in 2023: "F*** that s***."

I'm honestly hoping that the Washingtons, Oregons, and the Bays get together with Utah to keep a semblance of the PAC together. I understand realignment is exciting and money is money, but it would be a sad day for college sports for the West coast to have no major players in the landscape. Adding Gonzaga and Boise State could also be interesting. A little PNW sports league.

It's all so unfortunate.

It's all so unfortunate. utah was already like "ugh hipsterfilth doesn't get it! its about the MONAYY!" and backed out of my lil sports league idea it was a good 15 min thought experiment. maybe stanford will be like "we don't need money!" and the other schools will be scared bc of the expensive flights... a girl can dream.

I like the regional conferences. I'll miss them.
