I love IU football and want all IU sports to succeed but if they said that IU could only field one of the two sports I would pick basketball over football every day.

Well, the ACC doesn't have Notre Dame for football. And my gut tells me Rutgers ain't leaving the B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do and they don't. They're not officially listed as an ACC football member, but 5 out of their 12 games each year are committed to ACC teams.

And let's be honest here, it is due to their contract with NBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Since conference realignment is driven by football, maybe we could add some teams we can actually beat in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like some other schools in a secondary way, but I am too embedded into IU. Obviously, my standards or expectations are different for IU football than they are for IU basketball, lol. Mine are identical ..I never let history or perception put a lid on the idea of expecting sustained improvement... With IUFB, I would be happy with my exact expectations being met once every 60-70 years. That sounds about as realistic as it gets for the level they're at too.Lol With my luck they would wait until the end of the next 50+ years;....and I would miss out again, just like I missed out on the last time....D**n birth years!!

Even factoring in St. Louis and KC, it's nowhere near as good a media market as Baltimore/DC or NY/NJ. Would have been a natural fit geographically and due to the existing rivalry with UI. In the post-Nebraska Era, from a "pure" perspective, the natural fits were Mizzou and Kansas. KU wasn't available, due to the Kansas legislature wanting to keep KU and K-State in the same conference. But from a media/money perspective, Maryland and Rutgers win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
