The new Pac 8/10

[CougEd]

They will be able to create a conference that has some guardrails in the new era of college football.

1) Head coach salary cap of 4k.
2) 3 year contracts that you can rollover.
3) NIL is through the conference. It is shared and each player gets a 1500 a month for 9 months. Then have a cap for what each team can spend.

These are guides that help make the NFL the most watched and profitable sport in the US.

Except that the new conference would be tying one hand (or maybe both hands) behind its back when no one else follows the same rules.

And I assume you mean $4 million for a head coach salary cap.

Maybe so, but we'll still be in the best West coast conference for kids not quite at the level of the P4. Their choices will be to go play in the AAC, and their salaries won't be crazy high either.

Once full streaming takes hold, I think you'll see the networks and conferences lose a lot of leverage. What's stopping Ohio State and Michigan from selling their own streaming packages?

Yeah, nice concept but I think that train has left the station. Now if the NCAA would have seen the future and had put some rules in place (like limits on $$), things may have been OK. Isn't that what the athletes wanted in the first place? Some extra spending money?

To heck with that - time to sell our soul like everybody else and get ahead of the next big thing in college football: make a pitch to the Saudis, Qatar or the UAE about a new Football League - then WSU football will be able to buy any coach or player they want. NIL momey be damned.

Sounds like if we play it right, we could become the Tacoma Rainiers of Major College Football.

I like it. While we’re at it let’s do some test drilling at steptoe butte and see if we can stumble into some oil ourselves.

Are there any potential uranium tycoons that want a pet sports project?

All of the other sports, along with NCAA affiliation.

The NCAA best be wary.

If the Power 25/30 football teams can blow up century old conference affiliations with backroom media deals, they can most certainly blow up the NCAA too.

Those teams can take their teams and leave the NCAA if they want, but the NCAA will still fill a need for everyone else.

CBS isn't paying billions of dollars for March Madness so the country can watch Alabama play Purdue.
