This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What's your solution? by combodraw
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.
