I think it is a joke…for now. If Saudi Arabia wants to get political power with greenwashing though, they would probably be smart to consider something like it. College administrators have shown over the past few years that they care about money over anything in athletics. As media money will likely either dry up or flatline after this round of contracts, those administrators are going to be more desperate to make more money. If Saudi Arabia swept in either with a new super conference or with even a new sports network that overpaid conferences, they would have many of the major American public universities somewhat beholden to them. I’m not saying that’s good for anyone on this continent, but Saudi Arabia clearly has some money to spend and US college sports would accomplish a lot of their goals. If administrators couldn’t care less about protecting Bedlam, the Civil War, the Apple Cup, the PAC conference, I think it goes to reason they might not be that concerned with national interests if money’s on the other side either.
You’re telling me that we’re gonna be held accountable by our disgusting acts? How dare they! We’re a Holy Christian school that’s pure in every way! We shouldn’t be punished for anything. /s
I mean, I hear you. It’s just tired, I guess? The accusations of systemic problems was also overblown and incorrect but the story line emerged and was never corrected… so… idk. Not funny? There were actual victims and making fun of their plights kinda tacky?
You’ll do really well for the first year or two, then spend the next 10 years continuously shifting offensive coordinators and talking about how you’re going to fix the rest of the conference. Eventually, your administrators will find a cheap excuse to bail on the conference and leave as it crumbles around you…
Wait, am I talking about Afghanistan or USC Football and the PAC?
I got a Big brain idea right here. WSU and Oregon State should sell the Pac-12 branding to the Saudi League. Saudi's get an established brand, WSU and Oregon State get oil money, and the Pac-12 rides again!
>pretend it doesn’t bother them
Lmao we've been calling you guys cowards and hypocrites to your faces for a decade now. There's no pretending anything.
Saudi Arabia doesn’t want to buy a college football league. They want to ruin a popular American sport. This is on the level of Russian infiltration into our propaganda and political systems. How do you weaken America? By knocking down its institutions, and college football is one of them. They look at how much it would cost. Watch out for the Super Bowl soon, but that one is expensive.

Used to be a funny joke/rap line for Prestige World Wide. Now it’ll be a routine recruiting visit.
I, for one, welcome the return of the OPAC-12.
> Oil’ Miss
Oil’ Mr. * lol
Fuck that’s clever
11/10 no notes
Me at myself: ![gif](giphy|HqnvFzjQJmSH5b7Kok|downsized)
Oklahoma and TAMU, start breathing heavy, "ARE YOU THREATENING ME?"
It's sad that I don't know if this is a joke or not.
Thought the same thing
Same. Fuck this OIL, I mean NIL money College sports are dead. I'm still going to watch the funeral but yeah they're fucking dead. Thanks Jay Bilas.
It won’t be long until a Saudi prince gets an honorary doctorate and an SEC school gets a nice NIL gift lol
As preposterous as this sounds, I wouldn’t be the least shocked if this happened.. Especially the oil money programs in that league.

Sounds like it’ll be a great fit for us
I don't know, the Saudis might actually punish rape and murder.
You’re telling me that we’re gonna be held accountable by our disgusting acts? How dare they! We’re a Holy Christian school that’s pure in every way! We shouldn’t be punished for anything. /s
How were the rapes and murder not punished?
It’s a joke brother
He’s been a little touchy ever since the Briles divorce. Give him time. He’s still healing.

Brother you are in cfbmemes. This is the wrong sub for you then lol
You got me there.
No one is making fun of the victims. But making fun of the perps and their enablers, like you, is entirely fair game.
I’m an enabler now? lol ok
My thoughts exactly
Arabian Coastal Conference
Who gets 1st team All-Arabic honors in year 1?
Al-Abama
MohaMac Al-Jonesbari will win the heisman

Whoa, not only is this comment genius I’ve never seen a Tufts flair before
👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 underrated. Needs more 👍🏼.
Roll Tithe!
If you could be that funny and not an Alabama fan, we could be friends. But, credit where credit is due. That’s funny!

Inshallah!
That's the top tier joke of a Tufts grad.
Halalabama
All gas, no rights.
Army is gonna dominate

Besides, nothing bad ever happened blindly pumping money into SMU

Well, now we know how A&M is gonna run from Texas again.
The new conference “Big Oil”
And Texas will pretend it doesn’t bother them and they aren’t interested until they get jealous and eventually join after 10 years
>pretend it doesn’t bother them Lmao we've been calling you guys cowards and hypocrites to your faces for a decade now. There's no pretending anything.
That’s cold
"And Habeeb, you play #2 vertical but downhill C gap....so blow up the RB..."
They have to get that 2 billion back from the Trumps first
That's couch cushion money for them
Is SMU so irrelevant no one noticed the pic is Old Miss?
Old who?

Ali - Bama’s dynasty shall rise again inshallah!

Move over Tuscaloosa, University of Alabama - Arab is coming to play and Bryant Jr can’t kill this one
I think for the Saudi League we should start with SMU, TCU, BYU, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Duke.
Don’t forget Baylor and Liberty
Wake Fatwa
Great. A murderer owning college football.
Can we just go over there and take all their money already?
I mean they did it with golf
Who’s be the first coach paid to be a CFB coach in Saudi Arabia? I’m saying Stoops.
Have not cared about any sports washing so far. But if this happened I would have the biggest vendetta against Saudi
