My point is that I don't think Big10/SEC will actually follow through and that they are bluffing. They'd lose too much money over the long run to split the sport up.

It looks like there's only two real options. Capitulate and take the shitty 14-team CFP deal the heavily favors the power 2, or dig in and draw the line somewhere reasonable.

What would you suggest? Going back in time and having someone other than Swarbrick in charge over the past 10 years while this deck was set is not an option at this point.

The P2 would be wise to take the money now

and then start the super league at the end of the CFP contract.

Givesyou time to get all the ducks in a row, and you can boot the IU/Vandy/Northwestern teams out and pick up the best of the remaining teams for a 32-40 team Super League, including ND.

Oh, and we'd be forced to take that or leave it, if we wanted to stay relevant, otherwise we may as well go Ivy League at that point (which some folks seem ok with).
Don't kid yourself, there wasn't anyone changing this

I'm no fan of Swarbrick, but name me an active AD, school president, business executive, coach, or anyone anywhere working in the last twenty years that has shown the ability to get an entire industry to forego profit.
