Short term but I would never watch any of their games. 100% NFL after that

If they agree to move to 16 team play off let them have 4 spots each

The plan is for them each to get 4 auto, but increase the size to 14

I wonder what % of viewers of their games are outside B10/SEC?

This is true, but there's a silver lining for the rest of the country.

If this happens, out of principle, I will never watch a single P2 game.

Screw em. Exclude the SEC/B10 from March Madness, casual fans wouldn’t notice

Only way to make them rethink is for everyone else to band together and refuse

Relegation in CFB would be so awesome. And solve a ton of the current issues with level-of-play issues.
