A good read on cupcake teams

Post by ASUG8 »

The working assumption is that the team with more will obliterate the team with less. This arrangement is as much a part of the fabric of college football as warm charcoal and full koozies.

We call them cupcakes. Paycheck games. Unwatchable.

Whatever label you wish to bestow, watching a powerful brand from one of the nation's five major conferences clobber an FCS opponent or mid-major early on in the season is a familiar ritual.

The team with less will be compensated for such obliteration, of course. That's an enormous part of this agreement. Being a sacrificial lamb isn't free or cheap. Nor should it be.
