Pac-12 does it the right way. Time for everyone to move the conference championships games to home sites.
Fans don’t want to travel for both a championship game and a bowl game.

Try and get a ticket to the SEC Championship, it will cost you a small fortune if you can find one.

The problem is not with the Championship format. The problem is with the product on display!

You could get two seats between the 40′s an hour before game time at face value for the SEC Championship Game. That despite the fact it was in Atlanta between UGA and Alabama.

If Vegas didn’t pre determine the winners of the rivalry weekend, Championship Games and Bowl Games, all might sell better. Despite Vegas’ heavy hand, fans from some schools show up better than others.

An SEC fan shouldn’t suggest anything regarding another conference if we’re going with your Obama logic. Don’t worry, ND will be in a conference as a football team soon enough. In the meantime, you’re welcome for the Irish paving the way for the exclusive TV deals conferences enjoy today. One year, ND is greedy & arrogant for allowing NBC to pay them to televise all their home games. Later, all the conferences sign similar deals w/ no outrage.

did you watch the bowl season? medicore would not be an appropriate description, unless of course you are biased…nah wouldn’t thing that.

@thefiesty1

UM and UNC both would have been there if not for NCAA bowl bans. Strange year for the ACC. That said, this is not an ACC problem…this happened in the Pac10 a year or so ago. Not the details, but the talking heads kept mentioning it with every mention of GT being 6-6

The ACC schools don’t support football with the number of season ticket holders that would ensure selling 20,000 tickets for a game being played hundreds of miles from their campus. The conference boasts 2 conference schools with stadiums with capacaties in the 30K+ range, 1 with 40K+, 3 with 50K+ and 3 at 60K+. Clemson FSU and Miami have stadiums that can hold big crowds, but Miami might as well have one of those 40K facilities. The point here is that it is unreasonable to expect schools that don’t support their teams year in and year out at home, to have their fans jump at the opportunity to buy $75 tickets for a game being played 400 or 500 miles, or more, away.

Playing the game at an on campus stadium might solve the ticket problem; but it would introduce a significant disadvantage for the visiting team.

The answer is tough because the conference will never give up the TV money.

This is the reason the ACC has the smallest TV deal.

Make every team play at least 9 conference games. If these BCS conferences are intent on being Super Conferences, the least they can do is ensure each member plays 9 of their conference partners. Fans far prefer the bowl game to a Conference Chamionship Game. The ONLY reason conferences instituted them was as a money grab.

The schools are so glad to be invited to the bowl, or in this case, qualify for the ACC championship game, that they go along with whatever conditions the bowl committee or league puts on them. They should start saying, “No!”
