HOT TAKE: Instead of dropping the G5 schools from the playoffs, and eventually the ACC and Big12. Let's drop the SEC. They can play by themselves like they like to do, and the rest of us can get back to College Football instead of hearing about hypothetical victories.

"The Group of Five with South Florida ... that division really has no business playing. That's like letting the Triple-A best team into the Major League playoffs." @finebaum believes the best college football teams should make the CFP 😅

Hey @williebloom @SunAngelNIL @GrahamRossini let’s capitalize on bringing back the best player in college baseball in Landon Hairston, and swing big in the portal! I might be broke, but I just donated $28 for Landon’s record breaking 28 HR’s. Let’s get behind this program! 😈🔱

Valiant effort, @ASU_Baseball. Heads held high. Fun season. This Regional was somewhat emblematic of this team, in my opinion: They had the talent to play with a lot of the great teams, but just weren’t as good as those great teams. Some thoughts below:

Steve Sarkisian took a shot at Texas Tech and the Big 12 but he forgets 1 crucial factor. He never went undefeated in the Big 12… The SEC is now the conference of excuses.

NEW: Steve Sarkisian took a shot at Texas Tech while discussing how the College Football Playoff Committee factors strength of schedule👀 “There's a team in our state that plays in another conference that has a schedule that I would argue if I played with our twos and our threes, we could go undefeated, and they'll probably make the CFP this year.” (via @AnwarRichardson) on3.com/college/texas-longho…

Very happy to see @brettyormark and Jim Phillips speak out in support of the 24-team playoff. This move makes money, makes sense, and is broadly supported by the college football ecosystem. Let’s get it done!

Thanks to Matt Brown (from Extra Points) & others for pointing out the revenue disparities between EADA and MFRS reports. In general, the MFRS data is more detailed and trustworthy, but is not available for private schools. He provided a screenshot from his database and I fed that data and subsidies data (which includes student fees, government &/or institutional support, etc...) into ChatGTP to create the following graphic.
New EADA Grand Total Revenue for FY 2025 for Big12 schools (FY 2024 figures) : Kansas $173.7 ($215) Colorado $ 161.7 ($147) TCU $ 156.0 ($142) Ok St. $ 153.7 ($132) BYU $ 153.4 ($130)** ASU $ 149.3 ($127) Baylor $ 144.1 ($148) Arizona $ 132.7 ($139) Texas Tech $ 128.8 ($115) Utah $ 125.2 ($112) Cincy $ 119.3 ($90)** WVU $ 117.4 ($106) UCF $ 108.9 ($93)** Iowa St. $ 103.9 ($101) K-St. $ 103.0 ($106) Houston $ 100.1 ($99)** **Half-share Big12 payouts Full-share payouts for BYU, Cincy, UCF & Houston will be reflected on next year's reports BYU on-pace to be at the top of Big12 Revenue by next year's reports (meaning when they start receiving the full-share payouts this summer) Cincy & UCF also on strong upward trajectories not Houston yet Only 2 schools to report less revenue this year than last were Kansas and K-State After 2 years above $200M (Booth/Stadium donations?), Kansas has "come back down to earth" at $173M Texas Tech not looking fiscally dominant on these reports, but would expect to see big jumps on the next report(s) ^^^^ALL schools (public & PRIVATE) are required to self-report these EADA (US Dept of Education) figures each year. Other revenue figures obtained from public school's financial and tax documents (FOIA requests) may vary from these numbers for some schools. However, this EADA database is worthwhile to report since it is standardized and includes all private schools as well.
