    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    That’s what I was thinking. The NBC arrangement would be for the duration of the current NBC contract.

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    If Notre Dame were in contract negotiations with NBC, I would say this could be a possibility - but it’s still a few years out. By the time Notre Dame enters their next negotiation window with NBC, my guess is all the dominos will have fallen by then. What I do think is being negotiated with...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Do you think the B1G would be interested in Miami if the SEC isn’t? Catholics vs. Criminals - winner advances to the B1G Championship at The Rose Bowl!

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Here is an intersecting tidbit fir whatever it’s worth: 247Sports’ Josh Pate reported on a Monday podcast that “there are conversations happening with folks at Clemson and folks in the Big Ten.” “Everything that seemed impossible just a few years ago is now a possibility,” an industry source...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    NBC was already bidding for part of the B1G media rights even before expansion. They wanted to double up with Irish and B1G games back to back. NBC might be at the front of the line now if the Irish join the B1G. Maybe part of the negotiations going on now would be for Irish home games to air on...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Here is my take on Rutgers and Maryland. They are necessary for the following reasons: 1. Money/Media Markets 2. Recruiting Playing a game @ Maryland may not sound exciting, but it is giving teams a chance to showcase their brands to recruits in the DMV. If only the top teams existed in a...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Another day and still no official statement from Jack or anyone from ND regarding maintaining independence. I still think they are negotiating to join the B1G. Otherwise, a statement would have come out by now. All of college football is on pins and needles waiting on an announcement one way or...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Do you think the longer time passes that we hear nothing from Notre Dame or the B1G, the more likely this is going to happen? To me, if nothing was in the works, a statement would be issued by either Notre Dame, the B1G, or both. The silence leads me to believe that they are negotiating as we...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Another way to address having games in the southeast - assuming the B1G and SEC break off and create their own playoff, what if we had this: The top 4 B1G teams and top 4 SEC teams have their own playoffs. While the semifinals are being played, all remaining teams play their conference...

    Notre Dame to the B1G Conference?

    Buckeye fan here. I’m really excited about the new look B1G. However many teams end up in the B1G, I’m sure the powers that be will come up with a scheduling model that makes sense for all. Assuming the Irish join, I look forward to all of the big games that will be played between the Buckeyes...

    What a ND B1G schedule might look like

    I was just looking over Notre Dame's schedule and noticed that if ND ever joined the Big Ten, they would pretty much be able to keep all existing rivalries in tact if they were placed in the Legends Division and given a protected crossover game with Purdue. The Big Ten - PAC 12 agreement could...
