Oh I AGREE 100%.

Add me to the agree list. I've had my dynasty on here going since NCAA 12 playing with nothing but small schools (FIU, Tulsa and Utah State), not to mention my favorite school is Navy, so they wouldn't be included either. I will eventually end up moving onto the Power 5 conference schools, but I'm not going to buy a game of just those 5 conferences. I want ALL of the conferences. I'm still pissed that we never had the goddamn FCS back in the game after all these years. So if any game company thinks they can piss out a Power 5 conference football game and I'm going to snap it up like a crack addict, they can kiss my fat white ass.
Add me to the disagree list. I only like the top dogs. I have never taken a team outside of them and always adjust my schedule to only include them as opponents. The small schools barely existed in my game when I played. I understand why some of you love the small schools but a Power 5 game would still generate a ton of sales.
I have no doubt it'd generate a ton of sales. But they'd never see a single fucking penny from me. As far as I'm concerned, they could go choke on a dick.

While I don't think anyone should go choke on a dick, we agree in principle. Power 5 Football could be the greatest game ever made. It could be a 2K killer. It could score perfect scores from all outlets. I'll play the demo and I'll watch Twitch streams but unless I could get it for free, I'm not playing it. I'm sure it would sell. It just wouldn't sell to me.
Something > Nothing
If I wanted to play college football, I'd buy it.
That would be literally the only possible way I would play it, is if I got it for free. Purchasing it? Not a chance in hell.

The service academies are HIGHLY unlikely to ever allow their athletes to be paid, I would guess. You will probably never, ever, ever see Navy in a game again.
Hell, years from now we may have a game without Army, Navy and Air Force - but with everyone else.
Just a guess...

ESPN - Texas WRs Kendall Sanders, Montrel Meander charged with felony sexual assault, arrests are pending.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State fired marching band director Jon Waters on Thursday over what the university called a "sexualized" culture.
Waters helped lead the band onto the national stage last year with elaborate halftime performances.
New Ohio State president Michael Drake released a video detailing the issues with the band, which the school said began before Waters' tenure. But after a two-month investigation, the school found instances of harassment that Waters did or should have known about and didn't stop.
I definitely want to read this. It's from Dave Revsine from BTN.

It’s America’s most popular sport, played by thousands, watched by millions, and generating billions in revenues every year. It’s also America’s most controversial sport, haunted by the specter of life-threatening injuries and plagued by scandal, even among its most venerable personalities and institutions. At the college level, we often tie football’s tales of corruption and greed to its current popularity and revenue potential, and we have vague notions of a halcyon time--before the new College Football Playoff, power conferences, and huge TV contracts. Perhaps we conjure images of young Ivy Leaguers playing a gentleman’s game, exemplifying the collegial in collegiate. What we don’t imagine is a game described in 1905, not today, as "a social obsession--this boy-killing, man-mutillating, education-prostituting, gladiatorial sport."
In The Opening Kickoff, Dave Revsine tells the riveting story of the formative period of American football (1890-1915). It was a time that saw the game’s meteoric rise, fueled by overflow crowds, breathless newspaper coverage and newfound superstars—including one of the most thrilling and mysterious the sport has ever seen. But it was also a period racked by controversy in academics, recruiting, and physical brutality that, in combination, threatened football’s very existence. A vivid storyteller, Revsine brings it all to life in a captivating narrative.
That could definitely be cool. I'm finally reading Bowled Over, and it seems like an interesting take on the sport.

Most hated CFB team by state
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Buc0NEiCYAAu_XF.png:large
Since Saban went to Alabama, the hate for the Tide runs deep. Why the Hell does Nevada hate Michigan?
Also, there seems to be more Clemson fans than South Carolina fans in South Carolina.
Dynasties are great for sport. It's far better to love or hate a team than be apathetic towards them. If people hate you it's a great sign of respect most of the time.
NO hate for OU? Apparently beating Bama gains you some karma.
Based on the original Map, this was apparently a, "I hate Michigan creation." Of course the craziest one is New Mexico hating Old Miss? New Mexico would easily be Texas Tech or the Lobos

To an extent but when I think love/hate the Cowboys and Raiders are the big ones over the long haul in the Super Bowl era. The Patriots as of late. The Steelers never really had any truly "despised or dirty" players in the 70's. The Raiders had a defense full of them and Stabler. The Cowboys had Hollywood Henderson and called themselves "Americas Team." The Patriots have Gisele Bundchen's husband, the video spying and Belichick. Big Ben probably helped bring the hate level up a bit for the Steelers but Polamalu is so darn likeable and respected around the league it's hard to truly hate the Steelers, outside of Baltimore and the state of Ohio.
They still hold a grudge? In fairness they are a little nuts. Back to back pep-rallies after losing twice to the Steelers in the AFC Championship. It seemed odd to me back when I was a kid and still does today. Luv ya Blue, I guess? 50,000 people celebrating your team getting an ass-whipping, twice?

Houston still holds a grudge, yes. Hell, they haven't done a damn thing since 78-79.
To be fair, I was in Richfield, Ohio at the Richfield Coliseum at a Cleveland Force MISL game. Those people (and I was born near there) are assholes. They DESERVE what they get, in sports.
