OFFICIAL 2021 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OFFSEASON THREAD

Mainly the Cincinnati game canceling with Tulsa twice and now playing them for the conference title at home. I just feel like some teams are throwing in the towel. Would have preferred Oklahoma playing WV this weekend.
I see what you are saying.

Risk assessments are being made.
 
SEC Leaving CBS for ABC: 10-Year Deal Starting in 2024

The SEC conference has agreed to a 10-year, multimillion-dollar contract with ESPN and ABC that begins with the 2024 football season, ending what will be a near-two decades run with CBS for a heftier payout and more game flexibility.

Under the package, ESPN and ABC have rights to broadcast the league’s 15 best football matchups as well as eight marquee basketball games. ABC now has rights to the SEC football championship game, which it will air in its traditional late-afternoon slot. And starting next year, the network can broadcast one nonconference football matchup on ESPN+ with each team.

Though terms were not disclosed, ESPN’s annual fee is expected to be in the low $300 million range, a considerable and expected increase from the $55 million per year that the conference receives from CBS—a bargain deal that was struck in 1996.

Something, something "We can't afford to pay the players" because reasons
 
I can confirm Fox will do everything they can to make sure this game is played next week.

Postponing it a week is no good for them

I'm trying to figure out who takes Udub's spot because there's a decent chance they can't play that game either
 
what is the issue?
There really hasn’t been a ton coming out other than Wright and Demas are both unhappy about playing time.

Jimbo’s been weirdly dialed in only playing basically 3 receivers since he got to A&M... there’s no rotation whatsoever.

admittedly - his offense is significantly more complex for receivers than anything anybody in Texas HSFB runs, where it’s basically Briles and Leach hybrid stuff on offense with super simplified route trees. So it’s impossible to think guys can come in and just go play if he’s not gonna be willing to dumb stuff down at times.

According to ESPN Demond doesn’t have any stats this season at all. It almost looks likes only played one game. That can’t be right can it?
 
damn that Sucks. Love the 3:30 CBS games
same here. The CBS picture is beautiful

I'm really not going to miss CBS at all. Especially not Been Lundquist with his dementia, forgetting people's names every game.

Not to mention those CBS games used to average about 4 hours. There's no reason for regulation football games to take that long.

The best part about leaving CBS and going to ABC is the flexibility they have. For some reason, CBS could only offer one or two night games per year. With ESPN and ABC, they can have a 3:30 game and an 8:00 game every week if they want.

He hasn’t played much. Didn’t suit out their last two games. Didn’t even travel to Auburn.

Not sure what’s going on there, honestly.
