USC & UCLA to the Big Ten

[Crimson streak]

Oregon and Washington have asked to join too, per internet rumors.

I don’t see the Big ten making a decision until they get a good idea on what ND is doing

To me, NDs power play here is to control who the B1G adds. It’s not like they can just say we want more money than everyone else. I think ND should say okay here is what we want. We want Stanford and we want insert someone from the ACC. NDs play here is to overemphasize the national part and the academic part of the “B1G”.

Maybe UVA and UNC? I feel like FSU, Clemson, GT, VT, and Miami would make more sense in the SEC.

I feel like this is a move to get ND to join the big ten. The excuse has always been playing a national schedule and keeping our traditional rivalries. By adding SC they are putting it in ND’s court, saying we have almost all your traditional rivals plus playing a national schedule from east coast to west coast. I fully expect ND to join here soon, honestly I don’t actually hate it either. Playing Penn st, Michigan, Ohio st, USC, every year or other year would be pretty awesome and would make for some awesome rivalries as well

Yeah I've always strongly favored independence for us but honestly a "Big Ten" that includes USC and probably other West Coast schools would be preferable to dicking around with NC State and Georgia Tech all the time, especially if Clemson and FSU inevitably join the SEC. Keep Navy and use one of our other OOC slots to schedule a marquee SEC team and it's not so awful, is it?

 

[AvesEvo]

What if all the conferences combined to form one ultra super conference and we called it D1 Football?

 

[Praetorian]

Hi friends!

Exciting times. What happens to Stanford?

Would make most sense in some ways but I feel like if you touch the Carolinas it can’t stop at 20 you gotta go like 24 then cause they’ll stick together. Someone like Syracuse or Pitt may just win the lottery and be the easy pull to kind of pod with Rutgers and Maryland

Buddy who’s big OSU fan saying ND has 24 hrs to decide on B1G membership. Also Oregon won’t be added to the B1G. Idk but he belongs to a lot of the OSU pay sites.

Oh, I think we all know ND can take whatever time they need.

 

[ACamp1900]

Real talk: I’m legit going to miss meaningful, yes this was still a thing guys, PAC 12 late night games,… I guess I have to assume the plan is to have a later BIG game each week??

 

[AKRowdy]

Also rumor on OSU sites saying Clemson has been denied by B1G. Tbh if I’m ND I pull the trigger and say let me keep the independent TV deal. Academics align and I think ND/OSU would be the 2 teams ruling the B1G

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Simply put it puts east coast eyeballs on west coast teams during prime time games

I don't get this. There is approximately a 0.0% chance that ND goes to a non-ACC conference before 2036 because 100% of the revenue would go to the ACC. I don't get this "does ND jump to the Big Ten now" rhetoric; no ACC teams are leaving for the next decade plus.

Clemson's academic profile has seen an exceptional boost over the last decade more or less due to their on the field success. Basically have the same admissions stats as PSU. Leaving them out for academic reasons would be dumb.

A 24 hour deadline with only a few decades of courting. ND can decide whenever they want to decide.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Next Boise State is going to join the English Premier League

Nah… they no better than the Scottish second league

Idk of what Clemsons perceived academic prestige is to people out side the state but it’s a really good school. Donor base is very local though. Engineering, Ag, and Architecture is top notch in the south.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Cut a deal for ND and Wake Forest in only if Michigan calls themselves a trade school.

i heard they had until midnight, and then this Cinderella tale is reduced to a proverbial pumpkin:

Swarbrick is in the meeting room right now:

I live in Boston and struck by how many kids from around here seem to go to Clemson now. I think they’re trying to change perceptions and broaden their base of students beyond the Carolinas.

Either way they’re far more likely joining the SEC than the Big 10.

B1G adds 4 West Coast schools including USC, UCLA and Stanford while also ND & the lucky winner of either 1 or 3 ACC tag a longs.

Hmmmm do you think ND would insist on BC for the Catholic brotherhood thing?

Guys on ESPN radio were saying Big 10 or whatever they are now will try to lure Stanford. This will force ND's hand to join the Big 10 because all of their historic rivals will now be in the conference.

Lol imagine thinking that Stanford is a domino of consequence to Notre Dame.

Sounds more like Wisconsin, Minnesota and a few others are joining the Notre Dame Conference

I kind of think it is?

I think Clemson along with Miami and Florida State are a better fit for the SEC.

 

[yankeehater]

Call me old fashioned or just old but I hate this move. I am not a fan of either school but grew up with the Pac 10 being a west coast conference and even if it does survive things will never be the same.

 

[choo choo]

Big Ten TV contracts still being negotiated, since you mention it.

Rutgers vs UCLA 9 AM Central Time sounds like a damn good time to me.

I'm drunk by 10 that way. Woohoo

Why not the SEC if they're gonna join a conference

 

[drayer54]

Money is rapidly ruining college football. It all started with the Longhorn Network. That was the first domino.
