The trick is to establish the tradition. The NFL has had the Pro Bowl for ever and while the NFL brand is wildly popular the Pro Bowl has never take off. For 2010 the game was cleverly slotted in the pre-Super Bowl dead time and the ratings improved dramatically whether this will build the Pro Bowl as a real brand. Sometimes, however, a brand does not having the strength to stand on its own.<br /><br />Florida International University is still in the process of building a football brand, a football tradition. Think of why you went to a you football game as a freshman. It was the thing to do. The group in the dorm was going and going along was the thing to do. Now imagine that there was no group carrying you along getting you in the habit; no tradition.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/news/southflorida/story/1285447.html?storylink=mirelated">FIU has therefore come up with a plan of priming the pump of tradition by offering $500 scholarships to student attending games this fall. </a>While this is an interesting incentive there is more to creating a college football fan tradition than just getting bodies in the stands.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-5777622334603888482?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-25265537804683713052010-02-10T15:14:00.005-05:002010-02-10T16:53:34.534-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/S3MqURVxayI/AAAAAAAAAtA/y8P1Vz7zqBs/s1600-h/paycheck.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 322px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/S3MqURVxayI/AAAAAAAAAtA/y8P1Vz7zqBs/s400/paycheck.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436735702906792738" /></a><br />Unless you've done the job you really do not understand the issues, hassles, and headache involved. Few jobs are a walk in the park and often the pay is in direct proportion to the energy, time, talent, and expertise. Such is the case for setting up a college football schedule for a team. A recent DevilsDigest.com interview of Mark Brand, Arizona State Associate Athletic Director give some insight into the difficulties involved in setting up an OOC schedule in college football. <br /><br />Telling is the central player in scheduling. The Boy in Bristol--ESPN<br /><br /><a href="http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/944834.html">Non-conference scheduling has its challenges<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">“Schedules are changing so much, so quickly there is no one out there who can keep up with it. The reason ESPN has that site is because they are very active in scheduling TV games for ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc. So it behooves them to know what schools are doing so they can look at schedules, know who is playing whom and set up TV games and maybe even set up made-for-TV matchups.</span></a><br /><br />Made-for-TV matchups is the same as Match Making by Mickey.<div

Bowl Association Executive Director Rick Catlett has the job of filling seats (and by extension hotels and restaurants) in Jacksonville on January 1, 2010. Once upon a time the Gator Bowl had some cache. Second tier but with fewer bowls and a New Years Day slot the Gator invitation was a prize. <br /><br />In the latest bowl shuffle the Jacksonville game lost ground and now Mr. Catlett's strategy is to rely on gimmicks wanting to sell the farewell Bobby Bowden game (and Florida State by the way). So tantalizing is this prize:<br /><br /><a href="http://jacksonville.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/2009/11/30/daily22.html"><blockquote>Gator Bowl Association Executive Director Rick Catlett, speaking to a civic group Wednesday, said he hopes the ACC doesn’t prevent FSU from coming to Jacksonville, and mentioned the possibility of a lawsuit against the conference if it does so.</blockquote><br /></a><br />Certainly the relationship between the ACC and Gator Bowl had been strained by the failed championship games and we without a doubt seeing a grab for cash. Unfortunately, the revenge and revenue will not revive the flagging fortunes of a bowl that is sliding into mere obscurity. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BBr6jEChFMU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BBr6jEChFMU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-7804002396820072463?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-7512228257717816022009-11-29T15:15:00.002-05:002009-11-29T15:18:49.063-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SxLXC3AH59I/AAAAAAAAAss/asesg5amiPg/s1600/F-14.jpg"><img style="display:block;

A former Pepsi salesperson told stories punishing retailers that would not cooperate by helping local competition run Pepsi products at lower prices in an attempt to embarrass the uncooperative retailer. The plan was that the pressure would cause a change of heart and a realization that the Pepsi way was the right way.<br /><br />Somewhat less aggressive, but still coercive, was (and maybe still is) the practice of General Mills that will coupon the hell out of a new product so consumers will flock to their local grocer demanding the latest variety of Cheerios. With retailer being forced to add the new product to appease customers. <br /><br />Now the evil empire of sports is doing the same to push your local ISP to add ESPN360 to your cable service. Mimicking the cable model by getting a fixed payment per subscriber where Disney Sports gets one check for the ISP (saving the cost of selling the end user and collecting the fee) and hiding the cost. Some less aware people may think that ESPN360 is a free service as they do not see Disney as the reason that the bill went up rather that evil greed ISP raised the price echoing the increasing cost of cable television where the provider is blamed.<br /><br />Two games this weekend demonstrate the coercion that ESPN is attempting Marshall at Virginia Tech and East Carolina at West Virginia. Please note that coercion need not be extreme and in fact slow steady pressure may be the most effective. Neither of these game are particularly ground breaking but then neither was allowed to be broadcast as regional games rather each were on ESPN360 only. With loyal Virginia Tech and West Virginia fans becoming use over the past several years of seeing their teams every week on television (cable or broadcast) emails and phone calls were made to ISP's urging them to add ESPN360. Visit http://mattsarzsports.com/football2009.aspx look at each week for the web only games and ask why would ESPN forgo the regional television revenue if they are not looking at more money from a steady check for all the customers of every ISP whether they want to watch the CFL or not.<br /><br />More reading on the subject:<br /><a href="http://www.socialtext.net/data/workspaces/mi021jg/attachments/espn_focusing_on_new_media:20071012032445-0-10118/original/ESPN%2520Case%2520Study%2520MI021.doc">Computers in Management: Case Study: ESPN new media</a><br />A nice college presentation in a Word document<br /><br /><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13739_3-10043040-46.html">ESPN's ISP discrimination shakes Net neutrality hornet's nest</a><br />For the nerdy techie college football fan.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-735758425496496903?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-10505051693965957132009-09-07T16:25:00.003-04:002009-09-07T18:18:54.940-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SqWGmCIvRLI/AAAAAAAAAqs/tFGi7LEbJng/s1600-h/twodollar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 282px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SqWGmCIvRLI/AAAAAAAAAqs/tFGi7LEbJng/s320/twodollar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378853317930599602" /></a><br />North Carolina Central at Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, NC<br />Sideline 7 F Up to 4 $8.00 each<br />19 ticket listings are displayed<br />Near the 50 at a bargin price.<br /><br />Bowling Green at Missouri at Faurot Field (Memorial Stadium) in Columbia, MO<br />Sideline R 11 Up to 6 $41.00 each<br />13 ticket listings<br />Thin market for Tiger tickets.<br /><br />outheast Missouri State at Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, OH<br />15 ticket listings are displayed <br />Bearcat Lair End Zone 133 18 2 $27.00 each<br />High price for seats at Nippert.<br /><br />Notre Dame at Michigan at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, MI<br />815 ticket listings are displayed<br />End Zone 16 94 2 $88.00 each<br />2% (2047) of the seats are listed.<br /><br />Purdue at Oregon at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, OR <br />221 ticket listings are displayed <br />Corner 25 65 Up to 2 $30.00 each<br />Perhaps Mr. Blount is in the market.<br /><br />South Carolina at Georgia at Sanford Stadium in Athens, GA<br />61 ticket listings are displayed <br />Upper Level Sideline 604 <br />11 2 $74.00 each <br />Early border war game.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-1050505169396595713?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-72813674507207667072009-08-29T21:08:00.003-04:002009-08-29T21:17:28.028-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SpnS2W13o7I/AAAAAAAAAqk/mGAikuxnhWE/s1600-h/a1garlic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SpnS2W13o7I/AAAAAAAAAqk/mGAikuxnhWE/s320/a1garlic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375559461529691058" /></a><br /><div>Northeastern at Boston College Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, MA</div><div>Upper End Zone WW<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>4<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>2<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>$5.00 each</div><div>101 ticket listings </div><div>About par for a BC home game without a big time oppenent.</div><div><br /></div><div>Baylor at Wake Forest at 3:30 PM at BBT Field in Winston Salem, NC</div><div>Sideline 13<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>SS<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>2<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>$6.00 each</div><div>101 ticket listings </div><div>Not bad seats on the 20.

The empty stores tell the even the casual consumer that the business is struggling. In the current economic difficulties, decisions made more than two years ago seem silly and poorly thought out. Truth is, way back in 2007 the personal wealth created by the real estate boom was the drug that allowed the populace to look at the future with beer goggle. Fans can keep spending because home price never go down.<br /><br /><em>(I do have contempt for that part of American society that over consumed. Using the equity in real estate as a personal piggy bank is reckless and shortsighted. Given the wide spread practice of this the entire economy has been put in peril by lack of personal fiscal prudence. Washington and Wall Street played a role but the consumer made the final poor choices.)</em><br /><br />Today the Baltimore Sun reported on the poor progress of selling luxury suites at the University of Maryland--<a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/college/football/bal-sp.suites06aug06,0,6950595.story">UM looking for suite buyers at Byrd. </a>In 2007 adding 64 luxury boxes the Byrd Stadium made sense, beer goggle sense. Now as the grand opening approaches 24 (37.5%) remain unsold. The announcement was noted in this blog <a href="http://thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com/2007/04/non-news.html">HERE </a>.<br /><br />From that prior post:<br /><blockquote><br />"The first phase of expansion - scheduled to be completed by August 2010 - includes 64 swanky suites with flat-screen televisions, food services, and indoor and outdoor seating. <strong>Maryland can't move forward with its other plans, though, until at least 50 of the luxury suites have been sold</strong>...Ten suites have already been sold..."<br /></blockquote><br />Help me with the math here but they could not move forward until 50 had been sold...but only 40 have been sold.<br /><blockquote><br />"The cost for phase one of the project is $50.8 million, to be paid entirely by the athletic department. Maryland sold the naming rights of the field to Chevy Chase Bank for $20 million last year, and borrowed $35 million from the University System of Maryland."<br /></blockquote><br />And given the lack of sales will there be any problems with paying back the loan?<br /><br />As other sports have found the luxury box is not a sure thing and the revenue does not always justify the cost.<br /><br /><strong>Please buy a box!</strong><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SntH3WaKwCI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/sXedBhAagFg/s1600-h/um3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366962397175791650" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SntH3WaKwCI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/sXedBhAagFg/s320/um3.jpg" /></a><br /><p>Would winning even sell these boxes?</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-1103863295987838868?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-56236991503521754472009-07-09T12:23:00.007-04:002009-07-09T15:17:41.573-04:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SlZBFj2jYpI/AAAAAAAAAn4/CI3lP7YQd8Q/s1600-h/ted.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356540370582987410" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SlZBFj2jYpI/AAAAAAAAAn4/CI3lP7YQd8Q/s320/ted.jpg" /></a><br />After watching Mike and Mike this mourning and hearing Harvey Perlman respond to Senator Hatch's comments from the prior day's show on the BCS, the truth of the matter became clear; this may look like a power struggle between Congress and the BCS but the king makers her is ESPN. And then the news that the Mountain West Conference had signed an agreement with ESPN confirmed the theory, the "Boys from Bristol" are running college football and the rest of use are just along for the ride.<br /><br />This is not a new idea on this blog or for those that take a few minutes to pull themselves away from the ESPN teat long enough to realize that they are a cold mechanical business and not the warm maternal mother's milk of sports. Like a weed ESPN has woven itself into the fabric of sports to the extent that they can lay claim to stealing from King Louis XVI and say, "We are the sport".<br /><br />This control of college football extend from the power to dictate the date and time of the game to having the most powerful person on the field that comes out during the commercial breaks to enforce the will network. In the need to fill up the time between games ESPN <strike>sets the agenda and molds public opinion </strike>shamelessly promote the upcoming slate of games. The $495 million comes from ESPN/Disney with the expectation that they will profit from the deal by having high profile games with match up that will deliver rating. Easy to sell rating such as Texas v. USC or Florida v. Ohio State not Georgia v. Hawaii or Pitt v. Uath.<br /><br />In a game of chicken the Mountain West blinked and the rebellion has be squelched.<br />The Mountain West returns to an unhappy existence with a chip on there shoulder, a broadcast deal with CBS College Sports, the Mtn. cable channel, and because of this one of the lowest broadcast profiles in college football. The non-BCS school will need to stay at the outside hoping for a chance to change the system.<br /><br />Parting question: "How did the Boys from Bristol get their way with the Mountain West?"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-5623699150352175447?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-23940965851185874832009-06-28T11:17:00.004-04:002009-06-28T12:36:15.197-04:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeasuBTBlI/AAAAAAAAAnw/WVcSZMqxuMk/s1600-h/UniversityofDelaware.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeasuBTBlI/AAAAAAAAAnw/WVcSZMqxuMk/s400/UniversityofDelaware.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352416775211517522" /></a><br /><br />A college degree is not just the learning. In exchange for your time and ten’s of thousands of dollars you can tell people where you went to school and hope they are impressed. Is a student with a degree from Harvard or Yale head and shoulders above the person with a degree from a local state university that began at community college? Hard to tell? Looking over a stack of resumes, which stand out Yale or Northern Iowa? <br /><br />In this season’s crop of preseason rankings there is one team (like Auburn in 2008) that will be ranking highly only to finish in November without a bowl bid. With the coaches’ ballot now to be secret it is interesting to see how another ballot is filled out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090617/ARTICLES/906171007/1008/WEATHER?Title=Playing-the-college-ratings-game">"University of Florida President Bernie Machen, in a recent assessment of national universities, gave his school the highest-possible ranking, "distinguished," as he also did Harvard, Princeton and Yale universities."</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gainesville.com/assets/pdf/GS17003616.PDF">See the ballot here http://www.gainesville.com/assets/pdf/GS17003616.PDF</a><br /><br />Running a large university is a difficult job and while you may have a feeling about the competition you may not truly have a nation wide perspective. Apparently President Machen has a very positive view of the job he is doing a UF. He therefore rated his school and therefore his job as “Distinguished”. Two other schools that were rated overall as being the equals of UF, Fordham (“Strong”) and the University of Delaware (“Adequate”) have taken steps to improve their positions in this ranking.<br /><br />Recently there has been buzz that the Delaware Blue Hens were considering a move the FBS level given there success on the field and putting fans in their stadium. <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/2009/06/06/2009-06-06_fordham_football_awards_scholorships_for_the_first_time_since_1954.html">Fordham for its part shook up the sleepy Patriot League by offering scholarship for football which academically minded north eastern universities do not need. </a> Since the 1950’s members of both the Ivy and the near by Patriot League have offered football scholarships. Consequently, college football in the region is smaller than the one would expect given the population. These schools need to learn from the great University of Florida and realize the you can have both...bread, circus and by the way since we say so academics. <br /><br />So watch President Machen, the competition is upgrading their football and shortly may be nipping a the Gator’s in arrested and legal fees. <br /><br />And remember, it is only wrong if someone is watching.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeanPW3STI/AAAAAAAAAno/4TRlr3WLmWI/s1600-h/FloridavFordham.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeanPW3STI/AAAAAAAAAno/4TRlr3WLmWI/s400/FloridavFordham.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352416681081129266" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-2394096585118587483?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-41780168913866036012009-06-28T10:54:00.005-04:002009-06-28T11:17:46.332-04:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeIMdbkhmI/AAAAAAAAAng/38LcIWcSl7I/s1600-h/collegefootballclunkers.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SkeIMdbkhmI/AAAAAAAAAng/38LcIWcSl7I/s400/collegefootballclunkers.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352396429793199714" /></a><br /><br /><br />Following the lead of our great and wise Congress the Business of College Football has authorized $50 in our attempt to stimulate and more importantly clean up America. <br /><br />We here at the Business of College Football want to give you badly needed cash for the purchase of new college football publications and tickets and clean up the environment.

Think the the butchershop or Congress as examples: clean on the outside but sickening to the outsider on the inside. <br /><br />Given thet college bowl contracts are up for renewal there is a dance (more like the scrambling when bride throws the bouquet) taking place with the bowls games and conferences jockeying for position.

The fact that seats are already sold may very well be a function of this being an NFL stadium and groups have leased real estate is the stadium.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/Shlh_qwS8XI/AAAAAAAAAnI/F0zDpuQxV4M/s1600-h/gator_seating.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/Shlh_qwS8XI/AAAAAAAAAnI/F0zDpuQxV4M/s400/gator_seating.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339406579660943730" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-2840114174406599658?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-37192366008827496412009-05-23T16:52:00.004-04:002009-05-23T17:00:18.275-04:00Why try to compete with perfection.

James T. Kirk when facing a dilemma would consult either the very local Mr. Spook or the mechanical female voice of the computer. Captain Kirk would then ignore good sound advice, doing something rash, make out with a green (1960’s) space babe, and come out smelling like a rose. Coach Paterno has also been know to act rashly with a variety of smells as a result. Just this week Joe was quoted as saying, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4118848">"I've tried to talk to the Big Ten people about, 'Let's get a 12th team -- Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt -- we could have a little bit of a playoff.'"</a> http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4118848<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CqQevDvY2w4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CqQevDvY2w4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Spike TV started in 1983 as The Nashville Network, morphing into The National Network before becoming testosterone focused channel it is today. Other organizations evolve overtime in an attempt to stay relevant; the March of Dime now devoted to preventing birth defect began life with the task of curing polio repurposing itself to stay alive. The Big Ten and the Big Ten Network will need to keep evolving in the constantly changing environment of college sports.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R2r9t4gEB1s&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R2r9t4gEB1s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />This blog recognized early the potential power of the Big Ten Network and the change that this could bring to the college football landscape. While Joe was looking at the practical idea of a championship game, the more profitable plan would be to add the right team to the Big Ten to boost the dollars beyond what the SEC is currently raking in. Paterno looked to his past a rashly suggested three east coast teams two of which could add the populace New York City metro TV market to the BTN footprint (and the associated dollars).

Those that say, “Notre Dame will never join a conference.” might be the same that said, “GM will never file for bankruptcy.” With the NBC contract running out in 2015 and the range into at which schedules are made BTN might want to be looking that far into the future and make a rash Kirk like move.

Miami had swagger, lacking real tradition such as Michigan, Texas, or USC; they were the rebellious outsider of college football. Miami came from nowhere with National Championships in 1983, 1987, 1989, 1991, and 2001. <br /><br /><a href="http://miamiherald.typepad.com/umiami/2009/04/intruders-breaching-ums-local-recruiting-wall.html">Manny Navarro in Intruders breaching UM's local recruiting wall</a>, warns of a hole in Miami’s control over the best of South Florida. While this is a good article, it leaves a void by not exploring the why. A simple question with a simple answer: The Canes no longer have the swagger or the wins to attract the top players. 2001, for those of use over 30 was a mere eight years ago. For a 17 year old that same journey in time is nearly half a lifetime. Don’t blame the high school, kid for not knowing about the great tradition that was the U, understand that the futility of the past four years does little to sell the Miami image.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SeD6K--yiNI/AAAAAAAAAmo/IAy2808zO9Q/s1600-h/Falling+From+Glory.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SeD6K--yiNI/AAAAAAAAAmo/IAy2808zO9Q/s400/Falling+From+Glory.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323529826163919058" /></a><br /><br />Common in the world beyond that of college football is the, “What have you done for me lately?” that perhaps those devout followers of Sebastian the Ibis are seeing that the support of the past was just a veneer of bandwagon jumpers. This not a prediction that Miami will forever be mired as an average team in a below average BCS conference, rather a bright light on the fragility of Miami football and to a larger extent any college football program. Notice that in 2008 The cover of Phil Steele's Florida Edition featured three teams from the Sunshine State--UF, FSU, ans USF but not the Canes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SeG4BozihHI/AAAAAAAAAmw/-nCUs-O5qcM/s1600-h/floridasteele2008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SeG4BozihHI/AAAAAAAAAmw/-nCUs-O5qcM/s400/floridasteele2008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323738572801606770" /></a><br /><br />On November 28th 2009 Miami may play the most important game of their season against the University of South Florida which will for 2010 determine the pecking order for BCS football programs in Florida. <br /><br /><strong>What Have You Done For Me Lately (Karaoke)</strong><br /><br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fPPezDmaMuo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fPPezDmaMuo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-7325962558797257731?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-35692780177369629412009-04-05T10:20:00.004-04:002009-04-05T10:37:51.342-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SdjBrlkTT1I/AAAAAAAAAmg/vExeZNag0Q4/s1600-h/discount.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 147px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SdjBrlkTT1I/AAAAAAAAAmg/vExeZNag0Q4/s400/discount.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321215914301149010" /></a><br />How sold are the fans?

The dutiful assistance then did what was needed and was fired after the AD got a call from a grateful mother thanking him for the money given her son. True or not this illustrates the pressure put on subordinate to get the job done.<br /><br />The press coverage in the Florida State cheating scandal is concerned with the fate of Bobby Bowen's wins and ignoring the underlying question of institutional integrity. FSU did self report which is to be commended. Was this scandal the fault of rogue elements in Tallahassee or an institutional failure.<br /><br />In any workplace there are unwritten rules of conduct: those actions which will and will not be tolerated. Although there is an element of the group dictating the rules, it is the function of top management to set the tone. Those charged with tutoring student athletes must feel the pressure that everyone pass and stay eligible.

At what point did you graduate. For most it was a mere matter of age. There were those awkward years where you were seated in the kitchen with the six year old cousin that is no longer cute and then the first year sitting with the adults where you were all but invisible. Once you made the move there was no going back.<br /><br />The Mountain West wants a seat at the BCS table as they have fielding very competitive teams that have already won three BCS games—more wins than the ACC (2004-2009) despite not having the coveted automatic bid. In the 2008-09 final poll the MWC had 3 teams in the final top 25 as compared to 2 for the Big East and 3 for the Atlantic Coast Conference. If the MWC were applying for an opening they would definitely be the top candidate.<br /><br />The Mountain West resume as impressive as it is lack one critical element...television numbers. Given that the BCS is a television driven event the ability to demonstrate that your conference can deliver the eyeballs is of paramount importance. Currently, this key piece is missing. Looking at the 2008 numbers from ESPN you'll see that the MWC fails to deliver impressive numbers. <br /><br />The road to the BCS may go through the Magic Kingdom of college football. With ESPN having the BCS broadcast rights, the folks in Bristol have unprecedented influence over the agenda. In short given the overwhelming influence ESPN has over the college football storyline, Craig Thompsonthe, MWC commissioner first needs to get the conference a place on already crowded regular season broadcast schedule. <br /><br />How can the MWC prove that the conference can deliver the all important television rating and the dollars to justify the BCS payout, if the games are hidden on the mtn. , CBS College Sports, and Versus? While it may sound harsh but your on the field performance will get you an invite to the BCS when warranted, a permanent berth requires that you prove the financial angle is covered. Can the addition of one of the non-BCS conferences grow the pot of money? Until the answer is yes the current situation cannot change.<br /><br />If Congress wants to get involved and regulate college football they might want to start with assuring equal television exposure. Yes, a return era to the equal time. Organize the Fall sports schedule towards make sure that we get to see Wyoming, Troy, and FIU in prime time. While we are nationalizing the banks, maybe we can nationalize cable TV. And start by moving the masters of Bristol to the shores of the Potomac.<br /><br />The alternative for those not at the BCS table is to grow (up) and earn your place at the table. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fC_isr13lEg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fC_isr13lEg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-4833335162474818059?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-5764121345697991022009-02-22T12:05:00.005-05:002009-02-22T12:54:55.339-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SaGGQGH_gkI/AAAAAAAAAmA/Oy2Ou4xEzVo/s1600-h/epicycle-anim.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 366px; height: 389px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SaGGQGH_gkI/AAAAAAAAAmA/Oy2Ou4xEzVo/s400/epicycle-anim.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305669447099318850" /></a><br />http://www.astronomynotes.com/history/epicycle.htm<br /><br /><br /><br />Part 1 March Madness is a Folly<br /><br />There are 344 teams in D1 basketball with 65 + 32 going to post season tournaments or 28% far below the percentage of teams going to college bowl games. The 65 “best” included first round losers: Mount St. Mary at an RPI of #159, #147 Texas Arlington, #108 Winthrop, #98 Georgia, and #90 Portland St. While #94 San Diego and #66 Siena did win in the first round, their roll as mere March filler came in the second round. <a href="http://www.kenpom.com/rpi.php">Source--http://www.kenpom.com/rpi.php</a><br /><br />The Big East put seven teams, about 11% of the 65, into the March Folly despite the fact that these teams had already, “decided it on the court”. Worse only one Big East made it to the group of eight with Louisville losing North Carolina. For all the hype the NCCA basketall tournament is a bloated income ditribution vehicle with numerous meaningless games.<br /><br />If this is the correct way to do things what would a college football playoff look like? Some might say an eight team playoff, others 16, using the same 65 out of 344 of 18.9% we need at least 23 teams or 24 just too even things up. Automatic bids: the six BCS conferences, MAC, WAC, MWC, Sun Belt, C-USA. <br /><br />The challenge for those that want this is the fill in the brackets in a reasonable manner. You’ll need three play in games and then some gymnastics to avoid repeating games that have already been played. <br /><br />The answer that will be arrived at will be the equivalent of using epicycle to epicycles to explain planetary retrograde motion in an Earth center solar system. Or paraphrasing Dennis Miller in his brief time on Monday Night Football, “That tournament is more complicated that the House of Plantagenet.” The BCS may not be perfect but the basketball model isn’t either.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IS0SSAxu55A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IS0SSAxu55A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-576412134569799102?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-10993731895672677132009-02-12T15:08:00.003-05:002009-02-12T15:33:27.582-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SZSHfZxQPMI/AAAAAAAAAl4/UdKPIUetnjo/s1600-h/IMAGE_00056.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SZSHfZxQPMI/AAAAAAAAAl4/UdKPIUetnjo/s400/IMAGE_00056.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302011634885082306" /></a><br />To rise above the clutter is the goal of most if not all programs in college football and while Saturday is the prime time for college football there is so much supply it is easy for even a great game to get lost. ESPN Thursday night football is a prime time only game (for the most part)on the dial. The hard core football fan has no place else to flip. Even the least of these games is better than the very predictable network sitcom, carefully staged reality show, or a repeat of MonsterQuest. Disney Sports has finished molding the Big 12 and ACC schedules giving us a look at how to plan our fall television viewing. As of 2/12/09 the plan looks like: <br /><br />9/03/09 South Carolina at NC State (ESPN, 7 or 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />9/10/09 Clemson at Georgia Tech, (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />9/17/09 Georgia Tech at Miami (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />9/24/09 OPEN<br />10/01/09 Colorado at West Virginia (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />10/08/09 Nebraska at Missouri (ESPN, 9:00 p.m. ET) <br />10/15/09 OPEN <br />10/22/09 Florida State at North Carolina (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />10/29/09 North Carolina at Virginia Tech (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />11/05/09 Virginia Tech at East Carolina (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br />11/12/09 OPEN <br />11/19/09 OPEN <br />11/26/09 Colorado at Oklahoma St. (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET) <br /> Texas at Texas A&M TBD<br />12/3/09 OPEN<br /><br />From a scheduling point of view the Virginia Tech at East Carolina is one of the more interesting choices for a late season out of conference match up. With East Carolina beating both Virginia Tech and West Virginia they have played there way into the Thursday night lime light.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-1099373189567267713?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-11137857502504128772009-02-08T14:12:00.002-05:002009-02-08T14:18:37.654-05:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SY8v2W0vgCI/AAAAAAAAAlw/ykku2JLkg5o/s1600-h/obama-footbal.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 358px; height: 243px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SY8v2W0vgCI/AAAAAAAAAlw/ykku2JLkg5o/s400/obama-footbal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300507897324601378" /></a><br />Is there a college football program that doesn’t have a shove ready project of some type that could put $10 million dollars into the economy right away? You want real and fast stimulus (you are allowed to say NO)? If a capital hill lawmaker is a supporter of the current proposal then add is a mere $1.2 billion so each BCS school gets $10 million each with the only requirement that the money be spent on new capital improvements to the facilities. <br /><br />New indoor practice facility? Yes! <br /><br />Stadium expansion? Yes! <br /><br />Update the bathrooms? Yes!<br /><br />Hire new staff? No! (Review the meaning of capital improvements)<br /><br />Luxury boxes? Yes! <br /><br />Administrative office construction Yes! <br /><br />If the idea of a stimulus plan is to jump start the sagging economy, then the more quickly the money is spend the sooner we might see the unemployment rate decline. The beauty of this plan is that while the federal government does foot the bill for the construction, there is no continuing obligation to keep funding expansion after the economy recovers.<br /><br />Granted in construction projects $10 million is small but if combined with effect fund raising, management, and shrewdly taking advantage of the current retreat in materials cost there is the possibility of the school coming out with a very nice upgrade.<br /><br />Some may question the flat $10 million going to both the Temple and Ohio State. While on the surface this may seem to be questioned as a boom to the meek and a drop in the bucket to the might, the design here is to get the money spent and at the end of the day have something to show for it. And again without a continuing expense in the Federal budget.<br /><br />In true Washing style two more elements could be added:<br /><br />an additional $1.2 billion for road construction within 10 miles of a college stadium<br /><br />a provision that forbids the establishment of a BCS playoff for the next 20 years<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-1113785750250412877?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-89163665429372774012008-12-30T12:03:00.003-05:002008-12-30T12:25:11.837-05:00As stated here before gambling is to college football as prosituition is to sex.

Here is a list of the “have not-iest” games: <br /><br />EagleBank Bowl <br />Date Dec. 20 <br />Teams Wake Forest vs. Navy <br /><br />Venue RFK <br /><br />Location Washington, D.C. <br /><br />Other 11:00 a.m. kickoff <br /><br />On the good side Navy got a real break on travel expenses. The minuses: bad stadium, temperatures in the high 30’s, and early kickoff (attendance: 28,777) <br /><br /><br /><br />magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl <br />Date Dec. 20 <br />Teams South Florida vs. Memphis <br /><br />Venue Tropicana Field <br /><br />Location St. Petersburg, FL <br /><br />Other Isn’t Skype free <br /><br />The Trop is bad baseball venue and even worse for football. The field looked like it had snow on it except where they covered up the baseball dirt area. On the positive side ESPN announcers said MagicJack more than the required number of times. (attendance: 25,205) <br /><br /><br />Emerald Bowl <br />Date Dec. 27 ESPN<br />Teams Miami vs. California <br /><br />Venue AT&T Park <br /><br />Location San Francisco, Calif. <br /><br />Saturday by the bay but another of the baseball stadium game. AT&T park feature the endzone wall and the ever popular shared sideline.<br /><br /><br />Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl <br />Dec. 30 <br />Teams Maryland vs. Nevada <br /><br />Venue Bronco Stadium <br /><br />Location Boise, ID <br /><br />Other: High temperature of 40 with rain <br /><br />Maryland fans are falling all over themselves to book airline tickets for a winter trip to land of the Smurf Turf. This game has been the boobie prize of the <br />ACC for several years now. Which is worse for Ralph and the boy: staying home for the holidays or seeing the sites in Boise.<br /><br /><br />GMAC Bowl <br />Jan. 6 <br />Teams Tulsa vs. Ball State <br /><br />Venue Ladd-Peebles stadium <br /><br />Location Mobile, AL <br /><br />Other GMAC is in serious trouble <br /><br />The only bowl game using Federal bailout money the only issue here is the late dat of this game. Yes, the hardcore college football fan will care but by January 6th most are looking forward to next fall.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z0tNoe_vr9Q&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z0tNoe_vr9Q&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-4142417130018365714?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-1972475216494240402008-12-21T14:47:00.005-05:002008-12-22T18:50:19.054-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SU6eHz4LKNI/AAAAAAAAAkY/wDEzZ4j4nvk/s1600-h/econ_text.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SU6eHz4LKNI/AAAAAAAAAkY/wDEzZ4j4nvk/s400/econ_text.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282333269974264018" /></a><br />Is there such phenomenon as fan fatigue? Anyone who has taken an economics class is familiar with the concept of the law of diminishing return. At a certain point additional input will not result in additional output. A simple why to look at the issue is that you could put five grains of wheat in a pot and get five nice plants but would have little success if you put 500 or 5,000 grains in that limited space. <br /><br />Much has been made this week of the prices that Orange Bowl tickets are selling for and more specifically the weak demand on the part of Virginia Tech fans. Usually VT fans are among the most loyal. Loyal in this case comes with the expectation that they will open their wallets and buy. Unfortunately fans cannot afford the show their passion with dollars becoming increasing limited. Looking at the rear view mirror, the ACC Championship Game and the lack of attendance may have been the canary in the mine telling us that all is not right in the land of college football.

But give the grimness of the current economic landscape we could see first a reduction in the “ESPN-make a Bowl” games followed by programs having to do more with less and even some schools dropping out of the FBS group.<br /><br /><object id='VideoPlayback' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' height='280' width='320'><param value='http://cfc.wset.com/mediaplayer.swf' name='movie' /><param value='always' name='allowScriptAcess' /><param value='transparent' name='wmode' /><param value='best' name='quality' /><param value='#000000' name='bgcolor' /><param value='noScale' name='scale' /><param value='TL' name='salign' /><param value='file=http://www.wset.com/news/stories/1208/576470.xml' name='FlashVars' /></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wset.com/news/stories/1208/576470.html"><strong>Link to video</strong></a><br /><br />Perhaps on the part of VT fans their may be some fatigue of making the trip to Miami for a second straight year coupled with the knowledge that they may not be the best team in the ACC (Georgia Tech is ranked much higher) and the they are played the very unsexy University of Cincinnati Beatcats. Bearcats fans are at least excited by the novelty of attending a BCS game but are still considered by footballs old money are unworthy of a serious bowl game.<br /><br /><a href="http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20081212/SPT0101/312120024">Yes, Ohio, it’s not just the school in Columbus that can play its way into the Bowl Championship Series – and the Bearcats can’t wait to begin using that as a selling point to recruits.

When it is your team their judgment is often too short and too long for the other team. Then when the precise location has been determined the chains are brought out only to tell us that it is now fourth and three links. While the outcome of the game may depends upon the officials flawed estimations, generally the placement is close enough to the casual view without his hopes and dreams of vicarious glory invested the final score.<br /><br /><a href="http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=283410259">Yesterday's ACC Championship game had announced attendance of 53,927</a>. Anyone watching the game could see that this number and the visuals did not add up. For those that did not see the event, this was not a fill just the lower deck event. There were not enough fans filling seats that anything would make this stadium look full. <br /><br />Yet there was the ever present spin:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/article928999.ece">Tampa Bay Sports Commission executive director Rob Higgins said. "I'm confident we can look in the mirror and say we did absolutely everything we could to try to create the best atmosphere."</a><br /><br /><strong>Look in the mirror has to look better than the video tape. And they were really looking for that quite open atmosphere.</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/article928999.ece">Higgins said his group distributed returned tickets to more than 80 local charities and groups. </a><br /><br /><strong>Could not give ticket away.</strong><br /><br />He wouldn't say if the low ticket sale would mean a financial loss and there still were associated events, including a concert and high school all-star game, then a youth football gala today.<br /><br /><strong>The losses are too ugly for a family newspaper.</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/article928999.ece">"As a whole, I'd say we're pleased on so many things," Kelly said, referring to creating a 48-hour celebration of ACC football, "but we have to get better in terms of reaching our (attendance) goal."</a><br /><br /><strong>Missing quote, "And now I need to go back to my Sit and Spin from the nice people at Kenner."</strong><br /><br />The change in venue from Jacksonville to Tampa was designed to fix the attendance problem but as this fiasco shows the issue is with the product, ACC football. Both the SEC and Big 12 (at least filling the lower deck) had fans in the stands for their games so blaming the economy does not hold water. The problem here is the product and the lack of customers willing to pony up.<br /><br />A real suggestion for the ACC is to schedule their football game around basketball games to be played in Tampa that weekend. Invite six ACC schools to play games OOC games over the same weekend in Tampa with two games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. <br /><br />Sadly, resorting to adding basketball to the ACC Championship game mix would be an admission the Atlantic Coast (is still a basketball) Conference. <br /><br />The officials have measured and it is now 3rd and 16.<br /><br />Mr. Kelly in an earlier interview about the game.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8e0d52U8tu0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8e0d52U8tu0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Video from the endzone--fuzzy and jiggly.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnK-k4a0iYs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnK-k4a0iYs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-8289653709490353439?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-25016075268962123052008-11-25T18:50:00.004-05:002008-11-25T22:00:34.660-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSy7homaZkI/AAAAAAAAAbM/Y7D8-7ZeUBc/s1600-h/bodyheat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSy7homaZkI/AAAAAAAAAbM/Y7D8-7ZeUBc/s400/bodyheat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272795450252617282" /></a><br />Norte Dame hater delighted in seeing lower than lowly Syracuse comeback to defeat the Irish last Saturday. Unless USC fails to show Notre Dame will end the season at 6-6 which is bowl eligible and both the Sun and Gator bowls would just love to have the Catholics in for the holidays. These two bowls split inviting Big 12 or a Big East/Notre Dame. Notre Dame is the hot step sister of the Big East and both bowls hope that they can position themselves to get some of the ND action and do not really care how. <br /><br />The Sun Bowl is playing the part of the dim lawyer from Body Heat that loses his moral way in lust for Kathleen Turner (in 1981 she could carry it off). So allure is the prospect of having Notre Dame that you will do or say stupid things:<br /><blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.kvia.com/Global/story.asp?S=9408708&nav=menu193_2">"When we went into the arrangement with the Big East, we did it solely so we'd have an opportunity for Notre Dame. Period,"</a> Folmer said. Going on to say that extra personal will be needed to sell tickets.<br /></blockquote><br />Remember that the bowl game is merely a trick to have out of towners to fill up hotels during the holidays and spend money.<br /><br />Mr. Folmer is of the opinion that a 6-6 Notre Dame is there for the taking but the pnly way that can happen is if USC beats the Irish AND Rutgers loses the Louisville. A Rutgers wins means that the step sister Big East will have six teams with 7 or more wins. And as the commisioner of the Big East pointed out<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bigeast.org/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=92485&SPID=11215&DB_OEM_ID=19400&ATCLID=3623289">Teams that complete their regular seasons with 6-6 records may be selected only after it is assured that teams with winning records have received a bowl invitation under the conference’s affiliated bowls.</a><br /><br />The Sun Bowl now looks foolish...lust will do that.<br /><br />Or we could just blame Otto.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSy7iBXwh-I/AAAAAAAAAbU/lLrqddjjhxg/s1600-h/otto.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSy7iBXwh-I/AAAAAAAAAbU/lLrqddjjhxg/s400/otto.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272795456902039522" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-2501607526896212305?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-61401998168033151702008-11-25T18:20:00.003-05:002008-11-25T18:42:47.522-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSyNS_F56sI/AAAAAAAAAbE/BDZHV7pnLsc/s1600-h/Iranian%2520F-14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SSyNS_F56sI/AAAAAAAAAbE/BDZHV7pnLsc/s400/Iranian%2520F-14.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272744621057370818" /></a><br />Maryland at Boston College at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, MA<br />Upper Sideline TT $40.00 <br />Bargain price for a gmae with a team in the hunt for a BCS berth<br /><br />Syracuse at Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, OH<br />No tickets listed<br />Bearcat fever???<br /><br />Baylor at Texas Tech at Jones SBC Stadium in Lubbock, TX <br />Upper Sideline 117 $85.00<br />Finish up the season with a game with the mighty Baylor Bears (Possible let down game?) <br /><br />Akron at Temple at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA <br />Lower Level Sideline 102 $18.00 <br />Tickets from the scaplers will be even cheaper.<br /><br />UCLA at Arizona State at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ <br />Upper Corner 213 $5.00 <br />Sun Devil ticket are always a bargain.<br /><br />Auburn at Alabama at Bryant Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL <br />Lower Level LL $319.00<br />Give thanks the St. Nick (Saban).

Just like basketball it may well devolve into the silliness of the beyond marginal "play-in" game so we can cut the pie into 65 slices. <br /><br />Perhaps Mr. Obama was feeling the hubris of being head in the polls but this may rank as one of the most serious and telling statements of the long campaign.<br /><br /><em>"All I am saying is give <strike>peace</strike> Columbia a berth"</em><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9-_bn2AAIc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H9-_bn2AAIc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26261844-443612257949167610?l=thebusinessofcfb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brian McCormackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06088992957350029786noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26261844.post-62293931789619805132008-10-29T16:22:00.003-04:002008-10-29T16:26:51.818-04:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SQjGhXwmYQI/AAAAAAAAAaM/JAp4DGlXHQQ/s1600-h/ten.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 340px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rqMY_ZuOJAg/SQjGhXwmYQI/AAAAAAAAAaM/JAp4DGlXHQQ/s400/ten.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262674441198264578" /></a><br />Florida State at Georgia Tech Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, GA <br />Upper Level Sideline 203 $81.00 <br />Nice seats.
