2012 College Football Offseason Thread

How about they create a bowl game in Indianapolis that's part of the semi-final rotation?

Indy will bid on - and almost certainly get, at some point - a national championship game, which would be just as egregious HFA for a B1G team as the Sugar or the Rose.

 

Since no B1G team has finished in the top 4 of the final BCS standings since 2007, it doesn't seem like an immediate issue.

 

But the committee isn't beholden to the BCS rankings.

They're not, I was just using those as an example since they're better than the polls (not by much)

Texas A&M made a welcome video for its new SEC brethren. Guess what? It's [expletive] terrible.

That is...far worse than I could have imagined by that description. My lord.

Yeah, that was awful. Our marketing department has been taking a beating for that one, mostly from Aggies.

To be fair, I don't think any of these video's have ever turned out well for any school. I just don't know why school's make video's like these.

Of course the hottest girl in the video is assigned to South Carolina

This stupid song still sometimes gets stuck in my head after two years.

Stealing this

 

PennState isn't going to tear down Joe Paterno's statue, they're just going to turn it 180 degrees so he continues to look the other way

I read that joke months ago

Let's keep the sandusky and paterno stuff in the thread in rants.

Andy Staples just Tweeted that the much-discussed B1G-Pac-12 scheduling collaboration is off. That was quick.

Al Golden took the values he learned at PSU with him to UM.

It's really just a matter of time before the death penalty is handed out again. Probably needs to happen sooner rather than later.

[shnsajax]

"Unprecedented" penalties are said to be coming tomorrow against Penn St. Paterno's statue was also removed at 7 am this morning.

If Purdue or IU are ever going to play in the B1G title game, this year would look to be a golden opportunity with a third of the division (apparently) ineligible.

So, you are saying there is a chance? \:D/

@slmandel: If PSU gets bowl ban, 1/3 of the Big Ten's Leaders Division will be ineligible this yr due to leadership failures.

Yes, but it's a grand total of 2 teams. 1/3 of 1/2 of a 12 team conference. Stu's being a little bit dramatic here...

Pretty close to the death penalty, or maybe just a modern day death penalty as they don't want to give that.

Not harsh enough IMO.

The Big 10 could still punish them and put in a tv ban. That's really all I thought was missing. Or having to play home games in an empty stadium.

Yeah, I couldn't help but immediately think of Bowden when the penalty was announced.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Why is the NCAA being so soft? A true Death Penalty should have been the only possible outcome
