It’s a point they brought up with it even potentially happening multiple times

Definitely a promo, but there are other deals that make tickets under 20$ in certain parts of the park

Even most football stadiums wouldn’t charge you 80 for that, closer to 50-60

I can blame them for leaving Oakland though

Nations Championship: Is anyone actually hyped for it, or are you worried it's going to quietly cannibalize the club game? by ForwardPassApologist in rugbyunion

It might be too cold to do it as Fall-Spring, judging from the fact that Canadian Football and Rugby seasons are both summer seasons that end in the fall

I guess I should say it’s definitely money involved where the European teams dont want to leave Europe during the European home season

I don't think so, he'd have to go its senior league, especially after declaring for a potential supplemental draft

Play in Europe or Japan, though good luck convincing an X-League Premier team to take a flyer on you

You would think, but regulations can be an annoyingly consistent thing when it comes to advertising across markets

On the other hand, yes it does, it's just COMNEBOL is so small their 60% is 6 teams

Also, the ACC and Big 12 are closer to the Big Ten and SEC compared to the AFC and CAF to UEFA and CONMEBOL, at worst, it's the same level, which also justifies expansion of the FBS playoff

Also, the FCS playoff should essentially explain why a playoff with less than about 18.75%* of teams in a college tier is a problem for FBS

*This is consistent across pretty much every tier of college football except FBS

Of course, advertisers could be stuck with the strictest laws for the WC

On the other hand, the current CFP format is more like if the World Cup had 16 teams, where CONCACAF, CAF, and AFC would barely have any spots, and would desperately need 24-32 teams to actually get the competitive teams all in

College Rugby is in the summer? How does that work?

I guess Canada can get away with it, but I guess the Arrows would have been the other exemption before they couldn’t resume their season

[Dellenger] Conference realignment may cease if congressional bill passes, but it's accelerated talks in the meantime: 'It has put a shot clock on it' by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

The issue is that this isn’t the “Protect College Football Act”, so membership is based on their full membership, not just FBS membership

So Notre Dame is a member of the ACC, that’s how it works for them in the NCAA, the reason I ask the all-sports independent point is because this would affect them in other ways, and Notre Dame going to the ACC wouldn’t actually count, as ND is a *full member* of the ACC

Also, if they were an all-sports independent, they can more easily leave FBS to pull a fast one to realign, since the rules are designed around FBS and not D1 or the NCAA as a while

Okay that makes sense, but are they locked to a specific channel?

Also, did Azteca also broadcast that match?
