New autonomy. Could amend the requirements to host a CCG. Maybe only need 5 teams per division. May have other requirements lifted like not having to play everyone in your division like the ACC wants.
Might as well just ditch divisions at that point.

Of course.
At this point, the only realistic avenue for UCF(and UConn/Cinci/BYU) is the Big XII. If they are able to skirt around the current CCG requirements and host one in their current configuration that avenue all but goes completely away. That is likely the last window for the foreseeable future.
ACC is out due to FSU and Miami. And :jnc SEC.

Maybe something crazy can be done, if most of these conferences are 14-16 teams:
Lower the necessary OOC games, to only 2. That'll negate the need to find so many scrub teams.
Use the last week or 2 of the regular season for a smaller playoff, inside each conference. Have the 4 best teams play each other, winners go to the CCG, while everyone else is paired with likewise teams in the conference.
As an example:
Auburn play USCe, Alabama play Missouri, then Georgia/LSU, Vandy/A&M, Florida/MSUs or Ole Miss, Tenn/the other Miss school, Kentucky/Ark.
Can leave it up to the back 10 teams to play the extra game if they want to, or some schedule changing in case they've already played that team in the earlier part of the schedule.
If off of the old "8 game conference schedule", this can be a nice way to get everyone a ninth game, while also negating the constant cries of uneven scheduling ("That team didn't play the best teams on the other division and we did"). If used with a 9 game conference schedule, this creates a 10 conference game, further proving which teams are worthy for appearances in CCG's and the National Championship playoff.

Power 5 conferences appear likely they'll soon get autonomy within Division I. News from NCAA convention: http://bit.ly/1fGtMVa
.
Maybe im reading this wrong, but is this the rich schools trying to make it so that they can give recruits gifts to come to their school? or pay them once they get there? Wont this just create a small section of teams that dominate year in and out? With smaller teams even in the power 5 being left out in the cold? Maybe im way off, but this seems like a really really bad precedent if what im thinking goes through
It's a step towards the power 5 breaking away from the NCAA. And those schools already dominate, even without the players getting paid.
I'm assuming they're talking about Coker?
I don't think they want to so much break away from the NCAA, as Emmert is a pretty good target for everything that goes wrong, and it would really suck for the other sports besides football.
It's just they don't want tiny DIV 3 schools telling what they can do, and right now those DIV 3 schools can.

I'm not as big into CFB as I am with the NFL but I've heard great things about Stanford's DC so I'm very excited. Hopefully he will be able to grow the program in Nashville for years to come!
I would have been suprised if he was retained, considering the problems he caused.
Yeah, not surprised. Probably end up at Clemson.
They're going to have to do one of two things if they want to pay football and basketball players. They're either going to have to further legally separate athletic programs from the schools or they're going to have to pay ALL athletes in even the non-revenue sports so that they don't get cross with Title IX.
I don't think every school in even the "big 5" conferences can afford to do option 2.

Schlabach already released his 2nd pre-season poll for 2014, and its still only January. smh
21. Iowa
22. Texas
23. Florida
...the list still makes no sense. I sure hope our OC isn't worse than Greg Davis at Iowa.

And I forwarded it along to CFB-GAF, so I'm an ancillary cause of the problem. If we can't rid ourselves of pre-pre season polls, I think pre-season polls are here to stay forever no matter how pointless they are. Its a conversation piece.

Assuming the $5k per player per year is accurate and assume 400 total players per program, that is $2 million per year.
With the inflated TV contacts and the revenue from the playoff, that is likely very possible for most. Unless the AD is in absolute shambles like Rutgers or Maryland. But even then, it is likely doable for them.

Clemson opening the checkbook
I don't know that I would say he is under market value. Clemson wins a lot of games, and Dabo is a great recruiter and WR coach, but...
- Clemson is good for, at least, one blowout loss a season.
- He's 1-5 as HC against SCar.
That said, he's still pretty young. I think this coming season will really show how good of a HC he is.

If Clemson can get 10 or 11 wins, including the bowl, next year, I think Dabo will have done a good job. I think next year's schedule will be somewhat difficult and they're losing a big part of their offense with Boyd and Watkins.

This university is beyond inept.
No OC/DC to recruit as the dead period ends.
Commits flipping from RU to Indiana.
I'm sick of this administration that has no qualms in just writing this year off until next.
It's going to get really nasty, Hermann's going to get some pushback and its going to get sexist/homophobic.
I'm seriously thinking of refunding my season tickets, we deserve to be kicked out of the Big 10 at this point.

I'm waiting until the last day to renew my tickets depending on who they hire for the OC/DC job. Who wants to come here, Flood will be gone next year, and odds are whomever gets hired won't be retained.
I refuse to believe that he has fun, ever.

If I ever have the desire to get married someday (which I'm not sure that I ever will), all variations of the electric slide are banned from the reception.
We fired the dc a while back (which is why we're so pissed off the job has been open for a month and a half), OC left to become the assistant head coach of the Detroit Lions.
And recruits are flipping (to other schools).
What about the Cha Cha Slide now y'all?
