I still don’t see the value of Baylor - Waco isn’t Dallas, they’re not AAU and they would have ended up out on their asses after the SWC if not for Ann Richards

So would you take TCU instead?

I bet they see the writing on the wall though for everyone going to 16 team super conferences. They can't drag their feet while the best teams get picked up. Notre Dame will never happen, and Oklahoma and Texas will only come to the Big Ten if they can get a more $ than they would get in the SEC (which I don't see happening). Also not sure any ACC teams worth taking would leave the ACC. How do you get to 16?

The Big Ten makes more money than the SEC right now......so in theory they could make more with a move to the B1G.

If you can't get any of the four schools I mentioned above, why would you go to 16? Nobody else brings the eyeballs to the league like those four.....all you would be doing is diluting the revenue payments to everyone else. To me, there would be no reason why you couldn't stay at 14.

TCU is at least Dallas but also not AAU if that still matters…. Not sure who else beyond Kansas if the ACC holds together given it’s GOR

I can’t see being an AAU being that big of a deal anymore.

A sneaky good pick I heard today would be Louisville. No idea if they are AAU or not

Yea & ur locking urself in with 16. Plus I think ppl are assuming the SEC’s 16 is the only format. Big Ten can call it’s PAC-12 bitch & set something up that the SEC probably won’t offer the ACC.

If those 3 conferences have decided to cutout the NCAA & form a P4 playoff so they can hoard money & prevent a shitty G5/Coastal Carolina sneaking into the 8-12, what do they care about adding schools that can’t come close to the brand/money of Texas & Oklahoma. Big Ten could sentence Kansas/ISU/Kstate to death & help Cockeye/Nebraska’s brand in those states.

Louisville adds a top 10-20 athletic department in terms of revenue. I’d look there in my top 3 or 4

if they’re pulling from the ACC I’m guessing they go for like Virginia vs. Louisville. NC would be ideal but can’t see them leaving given the Bball history. Who really knows - if any of the ACC is in play, there are a ton of interesting scenarios.

Taking teams from the ACC is the best option but that probably isn't going to happen because of the ACC contracts. Notre Dame is basically an ACC team already and they have a contract as well, so I don't Notre Dame and the ACC schools are an option.

I can't see the wannabe Ivy League Big 10 taking any schools from the Big 12 or AAC.

Louisville is top 10-20 in AD revenue. So it’s a sneaky good play. Which is why I mentioned them. But truthfully, I don’t see the big ten being able to poach from the ACC. I think Big 12 schools will likely be the move.

probably not given the GOR - I guess I don’t see the AD revenue of the individual school mattering nearly as much as what the Big 10 thinks they can gain via a TV deal by virtue of adding. Louisville helps add a market, which makes it appealing if the ACC is in play, although I don’t think it’s an academic fit.

Blah blah blah, if they move to the SEC we don't have to play Oklahoma this year right? Pencil in another school of the deaf and blind and we're on our way to 6 wins 😉

Why would we not play OU? If OU & UT move, it most likely won't be for a couple more years. If you were being sarcastic I apologize for misreading your post.

Fuck TCU & Baylor, let's rescue A&M from having to be in the same conference as the Longhorns again!

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I think the Big Ten would be better off doing some kind of formal-informal thing with the Pac12 to provide media partners with great matchups and content without having to dilute the big ten product with shit tier schools

 

[Toe]

Texas & Oklahoma straight up ghosting the Big 12.

Ohio State insider says Oregon, USC, UCLA, and Colorado have spoken to Big 10 about leaving Pac 12

@Kaladin But... but @LoudHogRider told me Warren isn't doing a damn thing! 😲

Idk why but that just sounds fuckin terrible to me. All that football Liberalism is right down Kevin Warren’s alley too. How in the fuck does that geographically work? Big 10 Really West?
