Superconferences & Realignment

[ulukinatme]

Longtime Independent leaving the group! That leaves just us, UMass, and UConn. UConn wants a ticket to a ball, but no one is asking. Both those teams have 2 wins between them.

I guess something like this was inevitable with the dismantling of The Pac-12 this Summer - Moving from 6+6 to 5+7 bids for the 2024 plays so now ND has an opportunity to take one of 7 (instead of 6) at-large spots in the new 2024 12-team playoff.

Keep hiring and firing coaches. Lol

This is pure negligence. Pissing away tax payers money.

TV rights may have something to do with it, but the article points only to the pandemic and tuition policies that guarantees static tuition and generous scholarship policies.

But financial pressures are also coming into athletics from an admissions policy that guarantees static tuition for each student’s four years of study, and $300 million in financial aid and scholarships — a figure that Robbins called “not financially sustainable.”

“If you look at the band from 3.75 GPA to 4.0, there are a lot of students here that pay nothing. We lose money on every one,” Robbins said.

Seems pretty simple, cut the most expensive niche sports you have, unless that would be a deal breaker (see U of North Dakota Men's Hockey).

Who knows.... may be able to bring it back in a couple years. Not like anyone will care. They number of sports at a single school people care about is quite low.

How do you do $240 million in miscalculations?

What a cheap shot. This band members earned those scholarships just like every other person that has earned one. To single out one group like that because your staff can’t manage money is a Dick move.

They were referring to the "band" of people with GPA's between 3.75 and 4.0.

I bet there's a lot of posters that play the skin flute, they're probably masters of it.

UW, WSU to continue Apple Cup through 2028

The rivals will meet for the 115th and final time as conference foes Saturday at Husky Stadium.

No reason that any of the rivalry games should be cut due to realignment. Take note, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

DuPont isn't tossing around that sweet, sweet Teflon money anymore so UD needs a new sugar daddy.

I’ve been saying this about a football split for awhile.

Seems inevitable.

Idk how football splits, since FB revenue supports all the other sports, including the Title IX scholarships you'd still be required to provide.

He just means splits from their conference affiliations. ND football still pays ND hockey bills.
