The Rudy Project

[mojo-spider]

While SEC and Big Ten leaders mull major changes, a new Super League concept could radically alter college sports

As SEC and Big Ten leaders prepare to meet this week in Nashville for a historic summit of the industry’s two powers, there is an unreported undercurrent driving the discussion: Project Rudy.

couldn't remember if this proposal for the Power 4 conferences has been posted here or not...according to this story the Rudy Project is being presented to the AD's of the SEC and Big Ten this week

it's a good read if you not familiar with the movements to reform the Power 4 conferences into a league of their own...apparently there is another similar proposal out there as well

as for its impacts on the Spiders one would be no more games scheduled against Power 4 opponents...

sorry to see college football as we've known it go this way, but it seems inevitable...one of the only constants in life and business is change...the NCAA got left behind

Go Spiders!

This smells of anticompetitive violations of US anti-trust laws. They are pushing out competiton using their market power. It's illegal as crap.


From the article above:

Project Rudy is built on two somewhat simple concepts to increase revenue from television networks and corporate sponsors.

(1) Arrange more games between power conference programs by eliminating all games against Group of Five and FCS opponents; expanding the playoffs; and pitting blue-blood powers more often against one another.

(2) Consolidate the media rights of the 70 schools under one agreement, instead of the current structure of five different packages (one for each power league and Notre Dame).
