Don’t wish time away. Make every day count. Live each minute as if were your last.
Pfft. Give me Sept. 3, 2016, and give it to me now.
College football’s continuing growth and popularity will hit a triple-witching hour on that day. What a Labor Day weekend. Texas is the place to be and a fine place it is (except it’s full of Texans). Joking, just joking. Love your barbecue and those hats.
Before we go circling too many time slots on our calendars for that date two years hence, let’s sound one note of caution (actually a trumpet blast).
Your friends and mine in the television industry have yet to weigh in on this but there are already thoughts abounding that three-in-one day can be three-in-three days instead, spread over Thursday-Friday-Saturday. Won’t that be jolly? Just give the pizza guy a key to the front door, park your heiner in the recliner and you won’t have to move at all while the finest student-athletes show off what they’ve learned for 72 hours. Make mine pepperoni and onions.
College football is going through some changes. The SEC Network debuts in a couple of weeks, power conferences could break away from the NCAA if they don’t get the right to do business in their own peculiar fashion and a national championship playoff system is also coming on line.
A huge sport will only get bigger. The Texas triple option is two years away. Where’s the fast-forward button on the remote that controls our lives?
Today’s question: Are the power conferences getting out of hand with their demands to be free of NCAA regulations to make their own rules about compensating student-athletes? Answers go in the comment box at the bottom of the post.
