The word prior was NBC was looking to add some games to either lead into or run post weekly ND game. I think it would be giving ND exactly what they want so it would hurt the chances. NBC would have their lead in games that they want before committing to $75M+/year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we shall see what NBC wants to do with them. A random thought that my buddy mentioned the other day. Since USC will be joining the B1G will they still want to play ND if the Irish remain an independent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll already be traveling across the country for 1/2 their conference games so I imagine they'd want their non-con games to be at home or at least on the west coast.

Given they will have 9 conference games within an already much more difficult B1G leaving only a couple out of conference opponents you have to wonder how much appetite to play another tough out of conference foe. Especially since they may want to keep some ties to old PAC12 schools. ND loses these type of games and those ratings will start to dip…and that NBC contract might drop. At this point I just don’t see ND joining any conference unless they can’t play in the playoffs. As long as they are getting close to B1G money from their tv deal they have no incentive to leave. I also don’t think they want to give up their ability to control their scheduling and marketability by being constrained within a conference. No more neutral site road games in nfl stadiums, carefully hand choosing their opponents (scheduling would be largely locked in with B1G) and I think they very much value being a national brand and while the B1G is East to west coast now the division they play will largely be Midwest opponents. Don’t think that is a positive for them. Finally surviving a conference like the B1G with OSU, UM, PSU, MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, and USC…very little chance they making the playoffs nearly as often as they can being an independent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep…matches up. In the end they aren’t going to be too worried…unless their brand was to fall off there will always be a seat in a conference for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait until all the games are streamed and with the billion dollar deals being made we will have to accept drop down and scrolling advertising throughout the games! Like web browsers!😫 Hopefully they can do Picture in Picture so we don’t have to deal with the advertisements constantly moving so you can’t keep track of what you want to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I have Peacock for their IndyCar coverage. Hopefully everything is on the free version of Peacock and not the premium. There is an IndyCar reporter I follow on twitter who refers to Peacock as "the cock" and he always makes jokes when some IndyCar event is about to start that is only on Peacock that incoprorate that name. I'm sure we will find a way to capitalize here on HSN as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
