The 24-team CFP will cause several bowls to fold for the 2026-27 season.
But with ratings that dwarf most December sporting events (outside of the NFL), the ones that survive will thrive.

As I keep saying, the 24-team CFP is not going to create better nonconference games.
With everyone moving to nine conference games now, plus FSU here, there's just no room.

You think the “Fire Everyone” culture in college football is bad now?
Just wait for next year. The unintended consequence of the 24-team playoff will be punishing for those who don’t get in.

Champions Classic get in going for $85-$100 right now
Won’t sell out, nothing going on around United Center on a Tuesday, zero incentive to go
At a some point we’re just gonna stop pretending to care about ticket sales and put these made for TV events in a NBA bubble

Most people don't know this, but the Panthers are removing 6500 seats at Bank of America Stadium for a "social patio."
The problem: There are a bunch of PSL holders in those seats.
I investigated, for @theobserver. A must-read for every Panther fan: charlotteobserver.com/sports…
Even if you're part of that 10%, this format is gonna ask a LOT out of every fanbase that makes it to the field in any given year... especially if your team gets deep into the tournament and the travel, lodging, ticket, parking, and concession costs start to really add up
✍️ In August, the College Football Playoff conducted an internal fan poll on expansion.
Less than 10% wanted 24 teams. But commissioners were unmoved. It didn't matter.

Blockbuster! The Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings for their 2027 third-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Cousins returns to Minnesota for the playoff push, while Las Vegas turns to No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza.

A potentially historic move in college sports.
Following negotiations with university athletic administrators, Tennessee men's basketball players released a collective bargaining framework featuring salary caps, spending floors, guaranteed pay and transfer rules. spr.ly/6015By8w8L

This is happening everywhere. Siena is coming off a championship run, gave Syracuse fits, then drew 4,300 the next game.
Part of it is the college basketball calendar going up against football so people dont care until February.
But a lot of it is college basketball becoming more of a niche sport and with other entertainment options the crowds of 20 years ago arent coming back.

Makes sense. What the hell do a bunch of fans who live for Saturday afternoons, spend through the nose to travel to games and buy tickets and bleed their schools’ colors, matter? Ask NASCAR about alienating its core fan base and how that’s worked out for them.
NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark on fans against the 24-team College Football Playoff:
"We’re aware of the fan sentiment, and that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion. That was certainly weighed into the decision and it was considered. But ultimately, we just need to make a spectacular Playoff."

Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a move to Manchester United, multiple sources have told BBC Sport.
Pochettino signed an extension to his contract as USA coach in August.
However, the deal is thought to contain clauses that would allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs.
BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Michael Carrick, who the club look increasingly likely to sack.
Antonio Conte is also known to be keen on the role.

I'm no chargers fan obviously but can you name one 0 and 7 that would actually sell out an NFL stadium? Look at the upper deck of the 49ers raiders game yesterday and even that was partially empty.
How much of this is "Most people in LA are from somewhere else," and how much of this is really more, "People just took up other teams in the 20 years that the NFL vacated LA?"
"Geoff Molson, for his part, didn't close the door when he was asked about [CF Montréal]… however, I don't know if there's anyone in Quebec wealthy enough who would say to themselves, 'That team is worth half a billion. I'm in.'" (✍️: @MaximeTruman) dose.ca/2026/11/09/transacti…
