Would this be Ohio St playing Vanderbilt and Bama and Georgia play Minnesota and Purdue kind of "challenge?" I thought I noticed a week or so ago they both voted against some kind of private equity money coming into college football. I mean, why wouldn't they vote against it? It might level the playing field for the other conferences some. I honestly didn't read the article, but their take was that college football isn't broken, so no need to add that money. Funny that they think that, but not surprising

So the moral of the story is that what B1G stands for is medical professionals tied to universities molesting adult scholarship athletes. So here is another one

Is this derived due to the games played this year (Texas - Michigan, LSU - USC, LSU - UCLA, Alabama - Wisconsin)? If so, only one of those (LSU - USC) was good and entertaining.
Yes but the ratings and revenue from those games was good and entertaining to ESPN.

I don't totally hate ND going to the Big 20 or whatever it will be. The reasons for not joining are all defunct now. However, I do totally hate this if ND stays independent or joins some lesser conference like the corpse of the ACC. ND will get locked out of good matchups during the year and we end up with a boring ass schedule like this year.

after seeing the new BIG10 and ACC being beat up due to these long distance games I am starting to come around to joining a conference. It makes me very curious about how much we travel truly impacts our team. The only downside I see is that recruiting might be affected to some degree. We use a lot of our distance road games to establish some kind of connection with players on the west coast and southern states. Not having those might change things but I really dont think it would change much. Maybe we should start focusing on ohio, michigan, chicago, and PA more then we have. Also its time to start getting more involved with catholic schools again. Lemming has constantly been on the ND needs to reestablish ourselves with them and that doing so will open some doors into areas like MD, DC, Virginia.
