”My understanding is that the BIG will petition the NCAA to start each season beginning in '24 with Week #0, with multiple BIG games across the weekend. The argument being made is that the BIG schools will be facing "significant travel considerations" with the addition of the west coast school's - which would qualify as a scheduling exemption for the BIG. This scheduling format is strongly supported by the BIG's broadcast partners.
It's highly expected that the NCAA will approve the BIG's request. And this will become a showcase weekend for the BIG with its media partners to have four BIG games broadcast in prime windows (oh, and I'm sure one could be on Peacock, so be ready to complain).
This will give the BIG a 15 week schedule going forward and the assumption is that EACH BIG school will have 3 bye weeks each season.”
Wouldn't that make it week 1?I think the Week Zero slate is going to get crowded starting next year.

Damn you and your mathematical accuracy.
Motherfucker, if you shut down Georgia Southern and Valdosta State, I will hunt you down and kill you. Never forget that a life sentence don't mean near as much for an old man.
But UAB must be destroyed.
Why? Bama is scared to play them so they should have no meaning to a Bama fan.
They have the audacity to exist. That’s inexcusable.
Still, though....I don't understand why you would give a shit about a team that calls Birmingham home. The most impressive thing in B-Ham is that every cab has an assigned hooker.
Principle. They must be, and will be, destroyed.
There were a lot of UAB hats in the state during the Shula era. Rank jealousy it is.
sounds like a nice town to visit -
Keep your doors locked and your windows up.
Why defend the upstarts? They are nothing. Hell I’m even opposed to South Alabama’s program. It’s a joke.Damn, bro. Show me on the toy where they hurt you.
Maybe in Auburn…
Now you're starting to sound like a yankee democrat. It's fucking disturbing. Stop it.
