What, if anything, would the ESPN/SEC complex do to keep ND out of the BIG10? * - zabruzzi [09:00:06 07/06/22] (5)
- ESPN locked up Texas in 2011 with Longhorn Network, kept them from going anywhere else, and created problems in B12. * - osujason [12:44:46 07/06/22] (0)
- Obviously the B1G is aligned with Fox & the SEC with ESPN but I don’t think that precludes either conference(m) - 4OHST8 [11:42:36 07/06/22] (0)
- Sec wants ND to stay independent. Why?..... - jharp [09:55:20 07/06/22] (1)
  - They are better than anyone else. Above, superior, elite etc🙄 * - SylvaniaBuck [10:15:51 07/06/22] (0)
- It doesn’t serve ESPN to interfere, unless they thought there was a realistic chance Notre Dame could end up in SEC - cvillebuck [09:09:24 07/06/22] (0)
This sums it all up… - Buck-I [08:42:20 07/06/22] (10)
- so the B1G hs better mission statement writers * - RandyH [09:14:46 07/06/22] (7)
  - Completely different missions. SEC (like most) is an athletics conference. BIG institutions confer on much more. * - TwinsBuck [09:21:15 07/06/22] (6)
    - SEC needs Duke, Northwestern, Stanford, Michigan. * - TellMe [12:25:16 07/06/22] (1)
      - Oh ... the hours of fun to be had taunting my friends (from those schools) about their academic arrogance & hypocrisy m - NoogaBuck (formerly LostInTheSouth) [16:52:38 07/06/22] (0)
    - This “we value academics over athletics” chest thumping is the same tripe we rip Michigan fans for - cvillebuck [09:39:09 07/06/22] (3)
      - That's how I read it too. Seems a bit smug * - Ivo Shandor [13:47:12 07/06/22] (0)
      - It's the stated purpose of the conference. Football is part of it, but these are university presidents voting on this. * - TwinsBuck [10:19:18 07/06/22] (1)

It's misinformation to say ND controls things now. The truth is Clemson is what's going to determine the future - losu1 [07:27:32 07/06/22] (1)
- No one is making moves that count until ND makes the move (or not). * - OscarSierraUniform [11:51:14 07/06/22] (0)
The big 12 is making a huge mistake by adding just to add. You're splitting the pie amongst more - losu1 [07:24:42 07/06/22] (10)
- Actually not true! Both Arizona schools, Utah and Colorado met with them yesterday..... - jharp [10:06:09 07/06/22] (0)
- Yeah, they're the dividing the pie among more schools, but the pie also got bigger * - JK's Jump Cut [09:21:42 07/06/22] (0)

- Well I think their concern is that if they don't add, they're going to get poached by the P12. At this point the other - Buck the Trend [08:53:39 07/06/22] (0)
- If the goal is survival, trying to strengthen themselves and weaken a direct rival seems like a good idea. * - SaltLakeCity Buck [08:27:07 07/06/22] (0)
- if they dont add they'll be dividing a pop tart, not a pie * - woodhaze [07:50:14 07/06/22] (2)

- 5 hour flight is not a big deal to a young athlete. * - Buckeye Stuck In Florida [08:44:54 07/06/22] (2)
  - I think the time zone differential will be a bigger disadvantage for them than the travel itself. - Mr.C [10:56:18 07/06/22] (1)
    - Anyone who travels a lot understands the whole jet lag factor for both the travel aggravations along with Time Zone (m) - Barrett777 [11:36:56 07/06/22] (0)

According to 24/7 (not including newer players..?) we have 13 5*s on the roster. UM has 1. - In Paris [02:44:49 07/06/22] (3)

Contrarian point of view - In Paris [02:04:24 07/06/22] (1)

SIAP. Good statistical breakdown of B1G's options and why it could go a certain direction (link) * - JK's Jump Cut [22:18:33 07/05/22] (2)

Fine line on expan$ion (more) - BigWoody [21:44:09 07/05/22] (13)
- the TV partners are likely (and reportedly) driving this round of expansion... - Brutus [22:16:57 07/05/22] (6)
  - I frankly don't get the TV market angle now. GaTech, for example, is in a huge market but nobody there cares - Mr.C [22:42:19 07/05/22] (5)
    - Its not about TV ratings, its about the market sizes near the schools and possible watchers - HilliardJoe [07:42:22 07/06/22] (2)
      - That was the model and the impetus for adding Rutgers/MD, which was a home run for the time. - Mr.C [08:57:38 07/06/22] (0)
      - Agree. And I'm not saying I totally get it at this point with cable being less important... - Brutus [07:58:28 07/06/22] (0)
    - Research $ keeps the lights on for the academics. These are universities not semi pros..... - jharp [00:11:55 07/06/22] (1)
- All very true, but i think the B1G strategy is bigger markets->better NIL money->better players->better teams.. - osujason [22:16:26 07/05/22] (5)
  - how can it be said Rutgers and Maryland hasn't worked out when the league is about to sign a TV deal... - Brutus [22:18:19 07/05/22] (4)
    - Money works fine, but (more) - BigWoody [08:34:23 07/06/22] (1)
      - You're looking as it as a fan. Which is fine. The people making the decisions are not fans... - Brutus [10:14:52 07/06/22] (0)
    - The money part has worked out, and I think this will lead to better performances on the field eventually. - osujason [22:42:45 07/05/22] (1)

- It'll be too bad if this is "only" about money... (more) - BigWoody [21:36:27 07/05/22] (2)
  - It's only about money. The only sustainable and interesting model is full breakaway of 40 teams - AkronBuckJF [22:26:20 07/05/22] (0)
  - Maryland is average….Rutgers sucks in almost all sports.but both brought huge cable markets for BTN * - Trucker22 [22:04:40 07/05/22] (0)
- surprising to me that they're willing to let USC/UCLA be out on a B1G island by themselves way out west... - Brutus [19:19:35 07/05/22] (3)
  - I would think they'd want another 2 out west, to allow for more regional home-and-away schedules in all sports. * - IndianaBuckeye [21:13:48 07/05/22] (0)
  - agree..though I listen to anyone who works for Fox. But seems like two from out west will be needed * - whobdis [20:32:38 07/05/22] (0)

- Seems completely pointless to me. Wouldn't surprise me if B1G leadership (per se) is still thinking in terms of cable TV * - Mr.C [17:05:41 07/05/22] (9)
  - Did you hit your head today? This makes more sense than adding anyone else.... - jharp [18:31:03 07/05/22] (1)
    - I think I missed hitting my head today, is the problem. - Mr.C [21:34:04 07/05/22] (0)

    - Do conference members share research money? * - Mr.C [17:45:51 07/05/22] (5)

- What did he say then? Fair to argue that a lot has changed since, like, Wednesday. * - Mr.C [12:58:35 07/05/22] (8)
  - He made comments that he will not allow ND to be a part of the collegiate "Mini-NFL" (m) - OscarSierraUniform [13:32:29 07/05/22] (7)
    - They can take that approach I guess - and go the Ivy route. I don’t suppose Yale misses football money much. * - Mr.C [13:34:27 07/05/22] (6)
      - ND values their independence and have options. They can probably afford to be picky.* - BayAreaBuck [15:02:11 07/05/22] (5)
        
        Their biggest threat isn't money - it's playoff access getting closed off * - Mr.C [15:12:33 07/05/22] (4)
        
        I don’t see that happening. Could make it tougher, though.* - BayAreaBuck [15:40:04 07/05/22] (3)

Per ESPN FPI, 10 CFB teams have more than 1% probability of going unbeaten: - Buck-o-matic [11:12:05 07/05/22] (14)
- This is a little odd to me... Almost like a hedge... (m) - TTUBuckeye [12:20:36 07/05/22] (2)
  - That's the ESPN Playbook (m) - CA Buckeye [13:05:33 07/05/22] (0)
- 32% seems ludicrously high. We haven't gone a full season unbeaten in 20 years - Mr.C [11:14:35 07/05/22] (10)
  - I think this is regular season. We did it in 2002, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2019, and 2020.* - BayAreaBuck [11:34:49 07/05/22] (9)
    - In that case more fair - and more aggravating that we don’t have 2-3 more trophies * - Mr.C [12:04:26 07/05/22] (8)

        Agree. For example, if we're 70% to win against each of ND, PSU, and M, that's only 34% to win all 3 - Mr.C [12:25:24 07/05/22] (4)
        
        Basically has us at 83% chance of winning each of 6 tough games and 100% for other 6. Seems high.* - BayAreaBuck [12:33:10 07/05/22] (3)
        
        Quite. And we all know there ain't no 100% (except Rutgers)* - Mr.C [12:36:21 07/05/22] (2)
        
        But I just looked it up. 14 point CFB favorite translates to 85% chance of winning. Maybe it’s not too crazy. - BayAreaBuck [12:45:01 07/05/22] (1)
        
        Hmm - maths! Thanks for doing the legwork. * - Mr.C [12:53:20 07/05/22] (0)
