NCAA Denying JMU A Bowl Game May Go Down As One Of Their Dumbest Decisions Ever | Pat McAfee Show 

It’s PRECISELY why everyone likes him! It’s about time ESPN has someone that I actually want to watch and it’s because he’s saying what we’re all thinking. Every network should learn from this, people are tired of listening to bootlicking puppets.

He’s just genuine. Not always right (he obviously is here) but speaks his mind. Most people anchoring for ESPN care more about the network than their own views. Networks need this man far more than he needs them

@theswitch1028 Yeah he very much seems like a regular dude. That's what I like about him so much. Doesn't pull punches, shoots straight with people. I hate sports media except for a couple channels I've found on youtube. ESPN is unwatchable

​@@lt8768Everyone thought that he was going to censor himself or become a sellout, but all he did was put a disclaimer on his show and never chamged

We so badly need people that don't cower like wimps to the big wigs in the ivory tower. Somebody should tell em' to go stick it and stop being afraid. It takes courage for a celebrity not to get caught up in the schemes and lose their sense of reality. I pray Pat never does.

Amazing has absolutely lost it's meaning.

@@timkinley1779to you maybe

I think it's more feeding into the crowd. Pat has a great room reading ability, but even that's hit or miss

Pat has always been a man of the people

​@@andyshepard4309he also just really hates the NCAA 😂

What hit piece jobs are you referring to? Just wondering

He didnt rejuvenate CFB at all. CFB has always been the GOAT.

New viewers watching college game days

He has changed the game completely

That attempted hit-piece from Andrew Marchand about paying Rodgers, it was written because some execs at espn wanted it out there to hurt Pats image...watch the last few minutes of the show when Pat addresses it. pretty interesting @@mdb1010

Nobody is literally spitting in anyone’s face. Stop saying literally before literally everything. Thanks.

@@ededdandeddytv5164JMU would stomp UConn so yes. The NCAA is a ioke

absolutely! spot on....we know what "bowl" they're eligible for.. this is all about a political agenda and how many viewers, and from what market can they draw to the tv set and get a good price for advertising!! .

@@ededdandeddytv5164 Oh boy, did you know people have misused the word literally so much, the definition has been “literally” changed?

Figuratively. Your welcome

I don't really watch college sports, but I've heard about them before because of how they refused let College athletes make any money, while everyone else involved is taking in millions. And then there was the shifting they have Leah Thomas. And now this. Wonder what would happen if the college athletes (because the schools are pretty of the scam) just refused to show up for the events?

Guys back has to be sore carrying a billion dollar company

He made a really bad decision joining them.

@@ndnow12lol are you kidding me?!? No lol. Savvy AF business on both sides: his brand has completely exploded beyond RU-vid. He’s easily the most prolific guy in sports now outside players themselves.

It's going to take more than Pat McAfee to save ESPN.

They've been saying that for 100 years

Someone could probably sneak in and create a new governing body for collegiate sports, completely take over, and the NCAA is so stupid and clueless they probably wouldn't even notice someone else is running college sports.

@@raymondvaldez4101 Just like they said about student athletes being able to profit off their own NIL.

🙏🙏🙏

​@derekponski facts. They may have been saying it for a 100 years. "Oh, not today so let's not pay it no attention." Next thing you know it's been that 100 years.

Exaggerate much? People have been speaking about this for awhile.

@@timkinley1779 not on ESPN

Yep they nailed it This crowd was awesome other than when they tried to score that beach ball 😂

Other than the fact that JMU signed the agreement saying they would have a 2 year ban.

The fact he did this on ESPN live day time programming is actually incredible. In wrestling terms he prob got some heat from both ESPN honchos (who I'm sure if they are watching their wallets are okay, and the old ass fogey fans who don't want him on gameday). I applaud Pat for staying the same, and I hope he makes boat load of cash.

hell nah JMU, 😂😂😂😂

Absolutely...they are undefeated in division 1. Just a bowl game isn't enough. They have the right to compete for a national title.

@@kaminator515calm down, top 12 teams I agree but I’m not sure of who exactly JMU has beaten this year I won’t lie I didn’t know they existed but a bowl game 100% they deserve it

@@Ghypzy They are undefeated in Division 1. I didn't say JMU would win but this could make the College football Playoffs fun and they may surprise and win a game. JMU didn't know for sure they would be in this position. IDK who they have played. So yes undefeated warrants JMU the right to compete period

@@kaminator515they would get destroyed

Yet so many people are pissed that College GameDay isn't in Corvallis

nigga no one care if u like tech or jmu or odu, niggas needa stop saying “coming from a “this” fan as if mfs will care or change their mind or try to gain sympathy

Woodstock?

I grew up about 30 minutes from there. It's also the College that Gary Clark played for.

Absolutely man I’m with you. I never miss a Friday live on campus show It’s always amazing

lol who doesn't call out the NCAA anymore?

​@@williamsnike452you won't see anyone so this that has a platform like Pat at all. He dressed them down in a WWE style face/heel promo.. not only that in front of a live audience lol. On ESPNs primetime daytime slot...

It’s the best thing on tv

ESPN didn’t hire him to be watered down. Just tone down the cussing to make advertisers happy. Otherwise, they know they need a dire need of injected fuel to get Gen Z to care about them or they’re gonna be as good as dead along with cable. ESPN needs Pat more than Pat needs ESPN…but ESPN is letting Pat explode in popularity faster than he would have on his own.

@@jonathanpusar5931 I agree, everyone hated the move, but it was smart for ESPN, and smart for Pat.

Oh dude hands down, nobody even stands a chance at aalll

i cant lmaoo

It's too late in the season to change the rule

And as such, they will double and triple down. There are too many individuals in power that are too damn prideful to admit they are wrong.

It’s absolute peak sports media

Undefeated with a 100% FBS schedule

@@carsonwentz8301 And more than 3 of the teams you've played should have winning records.

Well, JMU made that an easier decision then by crapping the bed against App State

If Tulane and Oklahoma State get to play in a bowl, why not JMU, yes the discussion is a bit easier now for the idiots, but make an argument for Kansas state @@sneakybow1

@@galadeze strength of schedule is a good starting point. JMU's SOS is pathetic, they had zero wiggle room because of that... and they blew it. They should have focused on actually winning instead of going on a social media crusade to play in a meaningless bowl game.

I think they're both in Virginia too

They actually might, they are projected to play in the New Orleans bowl rn

Libery has an awesome coach who came from Coastal.Carolina has a really awesome offense. It would be a good watch.

@@carsonwentz8301Liberty is in TN I believe

​@@a_goblue2023jmu can't make a bowl game

Unfortunately, JMU head coach Curt Cignetti announced he was leaving for the same job at Indiana University

Yep there was a couple great ones. Utah fans brought it. ND episode was legendary But JMU is the top dog for now. Electric show . Definitely made the right call going there

Cut funding, unfortunately

Let them Bowl

At the moment they are probably getting really angry and doubling down. We will see how they hold out, though.

probably calling espn trying to get Pat cancelled lol

Yeah, they're probably thinking it was the right call since JMU couldn't even beat App State

Probably nothing.

​@@sneakybow1app state been a great football program

It shouldn't have happened it is an arbitrary rule. The conference itself says it's okay. Just a bunch of nonsense tbh.

@@thebigbucktheory5488 How is it arbitrary is it's enforced consistently?

@@chuck7952 because the rule literally has no bearing on anything.

@@thebigbucktheory5488 Right. There are legitimate reasons that rule exists.

@@chuck7952 some rules this is a case by case basis and the conferences can also self police without NCAA

Minnesota actually plays somebody throughout the year. James Madison doesn’t

@@austinbutterfield5276that’s not why lol James Madison is banned as a new team for 2 years that’s the only reaoN they aren’t playing in a bowl game Absolutely nothing to Do with their schedule. If they played this exact schedule next year and had the exact same results they’d be in a good bowl game

@@Rowsy91the rule is unjust and needs to abolished immediately

​@@austinbutterfield5276the BIG West is absolute dog water, "actually plays somebody" 🤣

Had a buddy that went to Bellarmine. Todd Wellemeyer, STL cardinals legend also went there. Good school.

Oh, you're brothers in arms regarding different sports

I mean he was live here why would it be different? lol

JMU would run them over and CU doesn't deserve to play in a bowl game

Nobody’s wants to watch two NAIA teams play

My understanding is no matter how much bowls don't have 6-6 or better teams, JMU still won't get a bowl. They will go to the 5-7 teams and pick them. I can understand not allowing teams to play down and immediately qualify but playing up and not qualifying, that makes less than no sense, especially in a bowl situation

CBS' article on the situation said JMU can make a bowl game if less than 82 teams have 6 wins, I don't thing they can play in the cfb playoffs though. There are only 58/82 teams eligible so far.@@billw5823

No they won’t they are banned from bowl games otherwise they’d be in one . I don’t see why they’d be alternates It’s a dumbass rule but new teams are banned from playing postseason ball for 2 years So it’s either lift the ban or don’t

They aren't outright banned from bowl games. It seems to work in a tiered priority system. Tier 1 teams are teams with .500 or better, they will get bowl games first. Tier 2 being everyone else. So JMU isn't eligible for tier 1 but is clearly the leader in tier 2. JMU is also not allowed to play in their conference championship even though they should have been in it last year and this year. I completely agree that these are stupid rules that need changed.@@Rowsy91

Doesnt matter, though. That's a problem they would need to solve once it happened.

Idk if you noticed this, the stadiums are half full at best on any non NY6 bowls

@@alaskanyeti907 yes, and I'll play the devil here, but they're kinda irrelevant... But even with my opinion, JMU should be rewarded for being good. They're being punished for it right now
