Yeah, I’m a Hawkeye fan living in Oregon. I am excited for this as I’ll get to see the teams from my youth come and play here, but it’s melancholy. WSU and OSU being railroaded here blows. The Civil War and the Apple Cup were great rivalry games.
I wonder what world we would have been in if the NCAA had aggressively pursued TV contracts in the 50s-80s rather than restricting it to one game a week and one game per team per year. They lost control by trying to ignore the money that was out there.
A stronger NCAA sounds terrible and yet better than what we have.
