    They don't get any better than Kalani Sitake. I can't even begin to articulate how much I want this man to succeed. His loyalty, humility, and honesty are so refreshing. We need more like him in the public eye.

    This man is on the top of my list of great men and leaders. He is such a great leader and a great asset to BYU. I love you to win every game but I will follow this man win or lose. I can’t wait to watch you grow this team and see what you can continue to do for the school, the team and us fans. He is my hero! I especially love the impact you have on these young men.

    Independence is great for scheduling, but BYU also has its own TV production facilities and had a deal with ESPN to keep the lights on during independence. Independence would have been impossible without those things. Being in a big conference means much more money for the program than ever before.

    Kalani Sitake was a running back while Kyle Whittingham was a linebacker and Steve Sarkesian was quarterback on the same team at BYU at the same time. Such is the influence of Lavell Edwards!

    In preview comments, no way BYU stays independent with ND and Miami going that way. No way. Independence was a temporary move in hopes of joining a P5 conference. P5 has ALWAYS been their goal. Money will more than double, despite BYU's sports TV deal with ESPN.

    Huge difference between Christianity and the book of Mormon witch is a counterfeit gospel that came from an interpretation from joseph smith 200 years ago. It's actually very sad. May God show them the true Gospel of Christianity. Week 3 game at Oregon should be fun. GO DUCKS!!!

    August 2, 2022 NEW! UPDATED! CONCISE! THE NEW FULL MEMO ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL REALIGNMENT... Please remember, as Commissioner Warren said, these things are planned well in advance... To the B1G: Pitt, Stanford, Cal, Washington, Utah, Oregon, Kansas and Colorado for 24 (all here mentioned are AAU schools). To the SEC: NC(aau), Duke(aau), UVA(aau), Clemson, Florida St., West Virginia, Georgia Tech(aau), and Virginia Tech for 24. As the SEC still refuses to take Miami, the Hurricanes may end up a third top tier independent. ND and BYU (and Miami) will stay independent with playoff access. B1G24 Pacific division Washington Oregon Stanford Cal USC UCLA B1G24 Mountain Plains division Utah Colorado Nebraska Kansas Minnesota Iowa B1G24 Midwest division Illinois Northwestern Indiana Purdue Wisconsin Ohio State B1G24 Union division Rutgers Maryland Penn State Pitt Michigan Michigan State Meet the SEC24: On the bubble (2 of 3 will join SEC24) Miami (increasingly looking to be the third major independent, joining ND and BYU), West Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Knowing that Pitt is going B1G, that means 7 more ACC schools are needed to break their contract, which may assure the Hokies are in. No chance the other 6 ACC properties get left behind, each are way too valuable. Texas Oklahoma Texas A&M Arkansas Kentucky Missouri LSU Miss State Ole Miss Tennessee Vanderbilt Alabama Auburn Florida Florida St. Georgia Georgia Tech South Carolina Clemson North Carolina Duke UVA Virginia Tech West Virginia The rest to comprise TheThird24 conference with access relegation to playoff eligible divisions (similar to Euro soccer leagues) with guaranteed football playoff slots for their top teams every year. (Realignment for non football sports in this third conference, as membership could include 40 or so schools, with likely only 24 members of which will start the football season with access to the national playoff, more permanent regional sub conferences will be needed, and allowing these regional divisions to develop organically is expected to be one of the final components, and possibly most time consuming, such that the networks/B1G/SEC intend to allow the third conference a couple years of organization before defining a final playoff structure). This third conference is going to be full of badass non AAU schools from coast to coast, will have playoff access, and likely compete well for national titles moving forward. And now be introduced to TheThird24 Conference: TheThird24 (Assuming Miami goes independent) 1) Oklahoma St. 2) Washington St. 3) TCU 4) Arizona St. 5) Kansas St. 6) Baylor 7) Boise St. 8) Arizona (AAU school) 9) San Diego St. 10) Tulane (AAU school) 11) Rice (AAU school) 12) UCF(disney/espn) 13) Louisville 14) Cincinnati 15) Houston 16) Boston College If the 3rd conference goes to 24: Utah State Syracuse NC State Hawaii Oregon State Fresno State Iowa State Texas Tech and/or SMU or Memphis or Southern Miss or Wake Forrest or Colorado State or Tulsa or Wyoming or New Mexico or UConn or Wichita State or Nevada or Army or Navy or Air Force... etc. Relegation clearly required. The Eligible75 So that makes 75 teams with playoff access each year: B1G24, SEC24, TheThird24 (with relegation beyond 24), and independents Notre Dame, Miami, and BYU. B1G/SEC to play 9 of 11 games in conference (5 division, 1 each in the other 3 divisions, plus 1 reserved/rivalry game =9), and 2 non conference games, 1 allowed to be beyond eligible75 = 11. How can this happen? Quite simply, really, and in the end likely a value booster for all schools through the 3 mega conferences... Except for the 32 currrent legacy members of the B1G/SEC, revenue sharing as we've known it is finished. The rest will be taken on and paid in accord with their relative fanbase/marketshare and other values brought to the table. And they're selling this beautifully.... This has to be the single best dudes' soap opera to run the sportswire in some time. This is intentional. It's a done deal, but milking the interest is just the first part of this brilliant college football marketing campaign. -or, blame capitalism. ✌🤠✌ Also, look for the Rose Bowl to be the B1G championship game each New Year's day, the Sugar for the SEC24, and the Cotton for the Third24. Look for something called the "Independent Invitational" game to be played in early December alongside the conference semifinals, and to be managed by The Playoff Commission, playing the best of Notre Dame, Miami, and BYU against a team hoping to make a playoff or better bowl claim, playing 2 playoff competitive independents against eachother, or any other 2 teams the Commission may deem appropriate in a given year in order to help clarify and minimize their playoff selections upcoming after the bowls. The bowls will play out during the holidays and could have playoff selection implications depending on the year. PLAYOFF FLEXIBILITY: The concept of yearly playoff flexibility should be incorporated. Every year is different; setting an arbitray number of playoff slots before the season plays out inevitably rubs against fairness for the next team left out. After the 3 Conference championships on New Year's Day (yielding 3 guaranteed advanced playoff births) the Playoff Commission should call no less than 4 teams, but up to 16, or any (even odd) number in between, such that no eligible undefeated team is left out, and playing such few games as necessary to answer but one question: Who is number 1?
