Breaking Oregon and Washington to the B1G

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Stanford's bread and butter w/ sports is all the non-rev shit. I don't know how the fuck that would work in the ACC unless the unless the ACC covers travel costs b/c it's desperate.

if I were Stanford and Cal I’d take a Big Ten offer no matter what

ACC doesn’t work logistically

I’m all for it. Great academic add and the existing members shouldn’t have to play a top 20 team every week. It’s great to add premier programs but there needs to be a little balance, too

Why steal TCU when we can try to steal Texas A&M

We would be doing damage to the SEC too

Under the assumption we couldn't get A&M. Yes they would be the better option.

Big Ten will be murderers row in volleyball after we add Stanford

 

[Jim14510]

As long as they do well before they leave. If they leave after sucking 3 years in a row we'll have to listen to the SEC douchebags about how they ran to an easier conference. No offense @Dawgsauce

Of course Cockeye's relative viewership benefits when you remove Ohio State and Michigan because they always have cushy schedules and rarely play those two. The B1G wants to feature marquee brand matchups more and that's why Nebraska plays OSU and UM so often. A game with Cockeye, by definition, is not a marquee matchup.

Kind of meaningless when only 10 teams compete in half the sports

 

[Carm]

Ohio St snd Nichigan have almost as many varsity sports as Stanford

Look it up. Extremely far from the truth.

Yes, this guy is 100% pure bullshit. Right, @aztonick ?

No worries, offense taken.

Also, If Trashbo doesn't get fired please take em. If he gets fired, please still take Pay$M. Little too cultish for my taste.

from one my daily emails from The Athletic

This prediction makes sense

It’s kinda all about football, but it’s really all about money, as Chris Vannini wrote yesterday. It’s just going to be a mess. The Big Ten’s coast-to-coast logistics will be a nightmare, even for bigger sports like basketball, where coaches have “zero clue” how it’ll all work.

How does this all end? I think football ends up in its own entity, separate from other varsity sports at each school, playing in its own tournament and abiding by its own rules. It’ll still make gobs of money, but it will feel more hollow.

P.S. I thought this piece on Arizona’s role in the Pac-12 disintegration was great, mainly for the dynamite quote from Arizona president Robert Robbins comparing the conference’s proposed Apple media rights deal to “selling candy bars for little leagues.”

Completely agree with this, and I've been saying it for a while. It's the ONLY outcome that makes sense within the constraints of college sports.

Certainly for the B1G and the Big 12. SEC can likely survive as a home for all sports as it is geographically compact.

Adding Cal & Stanford would help create some geographical balance in the B1G that actually might help with scheduling sports other than football.
