rams80 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm guessing that Purdue helmet is supposed to be camouflage, but it looks like a corkboard.Someone tell me that's a concept and not a production helmet.Look at the picture again. They are putting small pics of students and season ticket holders in the logo.I really hope the Big 5 leagues realize that as soon as they cut out the smaller leagues they are hurting themselves. The interleague contests will make it near impossible for any team to run the table and there will be logjams for the playoff spots. The old D 1-A teams will drop down to 1-AA and they may end up in better shape because ESPN and the rest of the cable systems will need to fill in the rest of their schedules. Granted they will share with more teams. It'll be the English Championship all over again.You can't be serious. You would rather Ohio State play Akron and Directional U than watch them play Miami or even Kentucky because you are concerned about their ability to go undefeated? And you think it would be better for D1-A teams to drop down because they might do better and get on ESPN more????How is it fair to the smaller schools? Just because you don't have a stadium that seats 100,000 and coaches making $7 million a year, they don't get a chance? Do we really want to get rid of the underdogs like UCF, Boise, NIU, etc? I'm sure if TCU were still in the Mountain West you'd feel the same way. It's because of the current structure that TCU had the chance to move up to the Big12. I agree that there are plenty of schools that the MAC, CUSA, and Sun Belt never should have let in. UMass, Georgia Southern, Charlotte? What did they do to deserve to move up? FBS should be made up of 6-7 conferences and that's it. If a school feels they deserve a shot they should have to prove it on the field as an independent or FCS success.No they shouldn't because Akron.

FBS should be made up of 6-7 conferences and that's it. If a school feels they deserve a shot they should have to prove it on the field as an independent or FCS success.I wasn't talking about how fair it would be or even expressing my opinion on the matter at all. I was simply responding to the idea that the power 5 leagues would be hurting themselves by not playing the smaller schools. That poster must not be very old, because before the BCS (particularly back in the 1970s and 1980s good teams actually played each other all the time in nonconference games. IMO, that would be better for college football (whether the good team is Ohio State or Boise State) than having everyone go 3-0 in non-conference games because they don't play anyone.I pay $10k+ year just in season tickets to TCU and Texas. And I much prefer games when they play Ohio State, LSU, etc... than UC-Davis and New Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This is a simple game of the haves and have nots. The goal is for this new cartel of elite conferences to maximize revenue via tv contracts and divide that by as few members as possible. That target will be around 64-72 schools. Everyone else will be completely shut out and they will likely be forced to shut down because they won't have access to the revenue required to cover the operating expense of D1 football and they will likely not have the appetite to downscale expenses to D1AA levels. The only thing that will save the mid major programs is if somebody like comcast-nbc or fox offers a decent tv package out of the need to fill cable tv programming (as opposed to aussie rules or horse racing etc.)Pretty much. And then once the P5 is done screwing over the G5, the top programs will then want to separate from everyone else. It probably won't happen immediately, but the Alabamas and Ohio States of the world won't be able to control their greed and thirst for power for very long.That's why it amuses me when fans of nationally-irrelevant programs like Wake Forest, Wazzu, Mississippi State, etc. blindly defend the status quo because their programs lucked into joining the right conference last century. It's like they don't realize they're cheerleading for their programs' inevitable destruction. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I much prefer games when they play Ohio State, LSU, etc... than UC-Davis and New Mexico.And when they do play a big name school, they play in a neutral site location where the season ticket holder has to cough up even more dough to see one of the few exciting games on the team's schedule. Using A&M for example, the new Kyle Field is set to open in 2015. They will open the season in Houston against Arizona State. For the grand opening of the stadium, they will play Ball State....wooo? Texas' AD is talking about playing neutral site games in Mexico City. Its ALLLLL about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they don't realize they're cheerleading for their programs' inevitable destruction.Ok, let's be realistic here. How many fans of these teams do you know have defended this. WSU, maybe, but no way for Miss St and Wake. Where's the fan defense? All the talk has come from AD's and school officials. You sound whiny as hell trying to justify why the Power 5 conferences are doing wrong (which is kinda true), but if Boise State was invited to the Big 12 or Pac 12, the school would take it in a heartbeat, and you couldn't do a thing about it.P.S.: Even if Wake joined the ACC in the 1950's, at least we have a conference. Enjoy having no shot of making to the playoffs out of the Mountain West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini1 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 There are rumors that Illinois won't have their new navy jerseys or pants until next year.

MJWalker45 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think illinois' best look is blue/orange/blue. Hopefully that's what they'll run with the majority of the year. Orange/blue/white is their next best look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
