So... Trade the best passer in the league, one of the best scorers in the league, the biggest draw in the league because she's bad at defense... Even though he running mate is a worse defender? How much do you have to dislike CC or dislike her being in a small market to come up with such a stupid idea? This would be like the Bulls trading Jordan after the 86-87 season.
Chuck Modi with the bold trade suggestion that could produce a different result for Indiana but like he said, they would never do that. Caitlin Clark is in fact their cash cow. However, defense is crucial come playoff time. Those are facts

And y'all were shitting on Indiana for a close game against Northwestern.... Where Indiana held them to 32 rushing yards.

The Pacers and Jazz were fined for tanking in the middle of a season.
The NBA is letting Bub Carrington’s tanking comments slide, with neither him nor the Wizards facing any consequences, per @sam_amick

Uhhh... Nope lol.
"It's the Big Ten's fault, and specifically Indiana, Penn State, Nebraska, and USC that the CFB ratings are down for the first few weeks."

I'd like to propose a conference cap of 14.
Exclusive: Tomahawk Nation has obtained a letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson and signed by the presidents of Florida State, Clemson, UNC, and Miami.
It asks the House to drop the independence requirement from Section 205 of the Protect College Sports Act and to increase the conference membership limit to 22. Full story coming

College Football is just insanely against spreading representation. The SEC wants only the SEC to exist. The Big Ten wants only the P4 to exist. The ACC and Big 12 just want treated equally to those two. All 4 would rather the G6 not exist.
I don't know. The current system in college football has worked pretty well since 1869. It's a recent phenomenon that people want CFB to be like every other sport.

Why is a conference so dedicated on ruining the entire sport?
24 SEC-controlled games on TV.
The rest of college football had 129.
We still took 41% of the minutes watched. 👀

8-4 Bowling Green probably would score more in a playoff game than Texas A&M.
You are KILLING it with the awful takes today. Keep it up!
8-4 Bowling Green doesn't deserve to be in, and the fact that you think they do means you think that instead of crowning a true champion, the playoff is supposed to be a participation trophy to less capable teams.
That's what the issue is.

Almost as if you forget losing to Western Michigan.
Also the new AP poll perfectly shows just how bad it is. Iowa is 14 beat UM by one on a miracle. Let’s say UM didn’t shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly and played a perfect game. So if Iowa is 14, UM is prob 15 or 16? Nope, unranked. Good thing that trash poll is meaningless

Who cares? We know there are only a few national title contenders. We still want to see the playoff.
So let's say #24 has a 10% chance of beating their first round opponent.
Even assuming that % doesn't change for every opponent (which it will), #24 would have 1 in 100,000 chance in winning the national title.
So we could hold this playoff until the year 102,027 and the #24 team would only be expected to win the national title once.

Uhh... The regular season in CBB is also important. Seeding is critical in the tourney. There are still a ton of massive games. Still a bunch of upsets. The growing size of the NCAA hasn't changed that.
In college basketball, the playoff is what's important.
In college football (which, by the way, is a different sport than basketball), the regular season is what's important.
You want to expand the playoff?
Fine.
Make college football teams play 32 regular season games like they do in bask.
