Purdue7 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Academically the Big Ten only fits with a few of these schools after ND UNC UVA Stanford Oregon or UW? Edited July 11, 2022 by Purdue7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that speaks to school chancellors and presidents is associating academically with Stanford. I can very easily see us partnering with them if we could convince ND to come along. Beyond purely $$ Stanford has a status unlike any other and honestly athletically they have a very prestigious history in a lot of sports beyond just football). You’d have California pretty wrapped up. Considering none of the ACC is breaking that conference and paying the penalty anytime soon I could see us sitting pat or simply wrapping up west coast with Oregon or Washington. I think Stanford will be one that might get done for other means then just financial. The true arms race will come around 2030 or so…a few years before ACC contract comes up. It will be a bidding war between SEC and B1G to see who gets the top 4-5 teams. The rest will be left out in the cold like the west/sw conferences. Schools like Clemson, North Carolina, FSU, Virginia Tech, Louisville, and Miami will probably be plucked out and I could see some teams out west revisited (OSU, Arizona, Baylor, BYU) If I was a commissioner my priority would be to get ND obviously…but beyond that Stanford and Oregon out west makes a ton of sense beyond just $$…both have great athletic departments and participate well in Olympic sports and well Stanford academics would be a crown jewel in the B1G crown (which don’t kid yourself is important to these presidents).

Kinda conflicts with the Dodd quote he cited at the end... "Dodd went on to report: “If the Big 12 expands, it wouldn’t necessarily be for money but rather survival and relevancy." Which is kinda a strange quote anyway... Survival and relevancy isn't going to pay the bills. The Big 12 hasn't had its own network since 2014, and the Pac-12 network is a joke. I guess the league or a combination of the 2 leagues could stick with the Big 12 current model and rely on ESPN to broadcast 2nd rate football. But who's going to watch when the SEC and Big 10 flood the traditional networks and accompanying league networks with games?

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 ACC GOR is nearly ironclad…..unless 8 or more schools fight it. They can bleed out and fall behind til 2036 or make a move. I think it happens eventually, they have no choice or they fall behind greatly. Big 12 would be foolish to not finish off the PAC and take the four corner schools. They need to be proactive. Schools SEC wants are in ACC. Big Ten wants Notre Dame, no secret there. Lots of craziness going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of craziness going on. What 8 schools would look to void the GOR…because only the schools that could line up a contract with the B1G and SEC would benefit. The rest of the schools would get left out in the cold. I don’t see schools like Syracuse, BC, Duke, GT, Virginia, NC State, Pitt, WF doing it for sure…they won’t get picked up by another conference and would lose their current tv deal for something no doubt worse. It’s a no brainer for Clemson, FSU, Miami, North Carolina, and Louisville. Guess the rub will be in convincing the middle teams to come along….and if the SEC and B1G are willing to split their pie. I just don’t see it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
