Indykev Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Madison22 said: The WSJ article really didn't say. Here's a different source today with speculation of 12 teams. The usual names, including North Carolina, Duke, and Syracuse. Notre Dame, too, of course. https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/2022/07/05/who-join-big-ten-conference-next-here-12-schools/7814281001/ Just go to 20 teams and call it a day. You add Oregon, Standford, UNC and Duke. Or OK.St., Kansas, UNC and Duke. Although the 2nd 4 doesnt do much for football. If you are doing it for markets, you have to think about Ga.Tech and U Of Miami Edited July 6, 2022 by Indykev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I have little confidence in the B1G to be proactive and make the right moves here. USC and UCLA apparently initiated talks. They fell in our lap. I see an easy chance to grab 4 more teams and dictate our future. Instead, I fear we do nothing here while we wait on ND and let others catch up and take potential targets off the board. Grab Stanford and Oregon for balance out west and a couple ACC teams then call it a day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBQ Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Is the next move UNC, UVA, FSU, and Clemson to the SEC? If it happens that means they got out of the ACC contract and the rest of the conference is up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Notre Dame will eventually join the Big 10 after a lawsuit/buydown/buyout/exorcism 😁. I know they "wish" to remain independent, but the TV deal they have with NBC right now is chump change...

There has been so much speculation about UNC, Clemson, FSU etc. jumping ship from the ACC but they are truly handcuffed. The ACC schools were really short-sighted when they extended the term so far out. I'm sure they'll find a way to get out of it but it's going to be costly and I suspect won't be a quick process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they can set their egos aside to make it happen, but with or without Notre Dame, I think the Big Ten is going to get a monster deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they can set their egos aside to make it happen, but with or without Notre Dame, I think the Big Ten is going to get a monster deal. I've seen valuations of the B1G's next TV contract up to $1.6B per year after the additions of USC and UCLA without adding anyone else. The more realistic number is around $1.3B. Even before that it was around $1B. So, yes, it'll be a monster deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens that means they got out of the ACC contract and the rest of the conference is up for grabs. Who would want anything left after that. The only markets and brands in the ACC that matter are Virginia Tech, UNC, Clemson, and Florida St. Why waste money on the scraps. The point would be to beat the SEC to those schools…while pulling any value left out of PAC12 (Oregon, Stanford, and Washington). Add ND and that’s hard even for SEC to match.

A majority of schools would have to agree to dissolve the agreement. Not likely to happen since there are really only 5-6 schools worth investing in if you are SEC/B1G.

Will NBC want to pony up for the kind of viewership they bring nationally? Maybe not, but that would lock them out of pretty much all P5 football? Am I forgetting another NBC conf deal?
