        Indiana did way better than this shitty SEC over-ranked garbage.

            Brothers from another mother. But yes, stand corrected. Still over-weighted shite.

                In fairness, Auburn just fired their coach.

                  I didn't realise that fairness entered into this discourse

                      At the very least, drafting second doesn't seem so bad now.

                        Well I'll be damned. Makes for a more interesting contest in the final but still expecting Alabama to win it.

                                Of course.

                                  Depressing article about the University of Texas receiving pressure from alumni and big money donors to back away from any criticism of "The Eyes of Texas," their fight song. The song has its origins in a quote from Robert E. Lee and was first played in minstrel shows. Some players decided to walk off the field at the end of games as the song was being played, something that outraged some. As a way to protest "cancel culture," some donors said that they would cancel their donations if the song wasn't fully defended by the university president, who seems to want to have it both ways by keeping the song but not doing so proudly. An idea of what the letters were like:

                                  "UT needs rich donors who love The Eyes of Texas more than they need one crop of irresponsible and uninformed students or faculty who won't do what they are paid to do," Steven Arnold, a retired administrative law judge and UT-Austin law school graduate, wrote to Hartzell. When reached for comment, Arnold said he had not donated to the university in recent years and has been completely turned off of college football after the events of the last year.
                                  "It's time for you to put the foot down and make it perfectly clear that the heritage of Texas will not be lost," wrote another donor who graduated in 1986. Their name was also redacted by UT-Austin. "It is sad that it is offending the blacks. As I said before the blacks are free and it's time for them to move on to another state where everything is in their favor."
                                  Tom Herman, who was fired as Texas' coach, seemed to try to take his players' thoughts into consideration and said he respected their decision to not honor the song. Steve Sarkisian, the new coach, seems to know who is paying his salary:

                                  "I know this much," Sarkisian said, "'The Eyes of Texas' is our school song. We're going to sing that song. We're going to sing that proudly."

                                    The donors are not as important as they think they are. FTG

                                        It increasingly looks like Texas and Oklahoma are going to join the SEC, which will stick in a fork in the Big 12 (reducing it to a Little Eight) and set off another round of consolidation, with the most likely outcome being three or four 16 team "super conferences".

                                          It's the beginning of the end.

                                            BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF will apply to join the Big 12 this week and admitted on Friday

                                              Not sure how the Big12 still counts as a major conference.

                                                They have an ESPN deal.

                                                And they have now poached some of their rivals' prime properties.

                                                That said, three really are only two major conferences for gridiron

                                                  Duke loses to UNC Charlotte, who have only had a team for about five years.

                                                  Kansas are only three up on South Dakota, who are probably the third best FCS team in the Dakotas.

                                                  Perhaps it is time for the "blue bloods" to concentrate on basketball.
