Time for new partner: Big 10 or SEC?

[PolishDomer]

Personally I would prefer Big 10 as it aligns well with other sports. Better regional focus, plus USC cant run away from us...also, would love to play Michigan, MSU, Penn State more regularly. Fuck the ACC...

 

[NormND_44]

B10

 

[IrishTusker]

Big Ten, no question

 

[calvegas04]

MWC

 

[2013Irish]

Big 10. They're with them in hockey. Could be pretty seamless.

 

[thekid33]

B1G

Already there for hockey.

Traditional rivals.

NBC contracts allow easy merger for TV rights.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

SEC, but Big 10 ok

 

[RudyVerse]

Fine with either. SEC would be a lot of fun but I get the Big 10.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

B1G, I guess. It’s all so tiresome. None of it sounds appealing.

Both options suck cause both conferences are already way too big. Whole system needs to be rethought.

 

[NDPhilly]

B1G isn’t going to allow us to join as a “partner” like the ACC has. They have too much leverage to do that.

They've said that? How do we know that?

 

[KMac151993]

I think you explore whatever option is best to keep your freedom.

Agreed. I think we’d have better luck with an agreement with the SEC.

 

[NDPhilly]

They know it’s them or sticking with the ACC. Why would they allow us to get special treatment? I certainly think OSU in Michigan wouldn’t be fans of that arrangement.

 

[Junkhead]

If it had to be a conference, B10 all the way. Fuck the SEC

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

The propaganda arm of the SEC is unmatched though

 

[irishnd31]

We don’t budge from Independence. They need us. We don’t need them. Some bowl is gonna miss out on a lot of money and alot of eyes on the TV

 

[ndfanatic78]

If they would allow ND to do it ND would already be there, same with the SEC. Neither is going to allow ND to be a partial member like the ACC has.

 

[MrNimbus]

Neither. Stay independent but stop all acc affiliation though. Big 10 for bball. And absolutely burn the house down on your way out. F the acc.

 

[Huntr]

No.

 

[NDMD]

I don't want anything to to do with the Big 10 & their horrible Private Equity deal

 

[Dale]

Survive till 2030 and hope the whole thing blows up at due to the B1Gs deal coming up.

 

[IAIrish]

FUCKING BARF

Get the olympic sports back in the big east. Its not that much worse than the ACC for most sports now, it has more teams in big cities for us to do alumni engagement and student recruitment, and it could probably also save money on travel.

 

[irishandy]

Agreed, this sport is going to blow up.

They don’t know that, how do they know ND doesn’t go to the SEC and really F them?

 

[Dale]

The thing a lot of people here and nationally don’t acknowledge enough is ND as been aligned with the SEC on most everything for a few years now. This is due to the idea that at large berths are obviously what ND wants and what the SEC wants. The SEC also stands to support ND Independence since us joining a conference would at best for them mean joining the ACC and at worst joining the B1G. So we have voted, scheduled and presented a unified font. This decision just broke that. If we aren’t aligned on CFP decisions, the shared NBC deal, rivalries with the B1G do come into focus. Who knows where the winds blow but it’s definitely slightly in the B1G’s favor now.

Even with the BS PE deal coming up?

There’s a lot of dead weight in the Big10 to the point that I can’t imagine this goes well.

ESPN=SEC. Go Big Ten
