Curt Cignetti has to be the most unfiltered head coach in college football
Indiana's Curt Cignetti (on dropping Virginia home/home series): "We figure we'd adopt an SEC scheduling philosophy" & mentions how many SEC teams play FCS teams & that SEC only plays 8 league games
If the Power 4 conferences unanimously support something you know it isn’t a good thing for everyone else
Statement from the Autonomy 5 conferences on President Trump's executive order.
Most season ticket sales in a decade? It would be nice Marshall’s athletic department would advertise this information to the public to build the hype.
Gibson says Marshall has sold more season tickets than it has in the past decade. "There's ties to the state, and a lot of our players are from West Virginia. The fanbase is excited. You have players and a head coach now at Marshall that want to be there."
A 6-3 team stumbling in the non-conference:
Big Ten's Tony Petitti: "If you're 6-3 in the Big Ten, I would argue that's a good record. If you stumble in the non-conference I don't know why that would disqualify you (from playoff contention)"

The American Conference rebrand news comes hours before an announcement that Memphis is willing to spend $200M to escape. Coincidence?
Insane desperation attempt from Memphis. I am shocked the Big 12 wouldn’t be interested in these terms. So many questions. Would Memphis consider the ACC? What do Tulane & USF do? How does the AAC front office handle this news? Do other AAC schools jump ship to SBC/PAC?
Memphis’ proposal is described as a “no-risk” concept. The school would (1) take zero distribution for 5 years, (2) add, in sponsorships, as much as $3M annually to each Big 12 school’s coffers & (3) subject itself to expulsion after 2030 if Big 12 deems it is not adding value.
This shows you how Memphis views the PAC-12 brand. Not willing to increase travel expenses and pay exit fees for the PAC-12… willing to pay $200M+ to join the Big 12.
NEWS: Memphis has made a $200M offer to join the Big 12, @RossDellenger reports🤯 on3.com/news/report-me…
Why would the Big 12 not want Memphis? The Big 12 is a top 3 basketball league. Memphis adds CBB value. Memphis also adds value in football, both in market and on-field performance.
Big 12 “not interested” in adding Memphis despite school offering $250 million in sponsorship to the league, sources told @On3sports. Memphis was trying to buy way into Big 12. Yahoo 1st reported Memphis trying to get Big 12 invite
The Sun Belt has risen so much the American has ripped off part of its slogan in an attempted “rebrand.” The AAC is panicking.
Welcome to the new American - built on innovation, service and grit. We’re reimagined, redefined, and #BuiltToRise.
Everyone will continue using AAC to describe this conference 😭 what a waste of money
The American Conference is announcing later today a renaming, retiring the names “American Athletic Conference” and “AAC” in place of “American Conference” or “American.” The renaming comes with the creation of various rebranding concepts, including a new mascot: Soar the Eagle.
