Anyways, he says the waco and baylor community at large are just phenomenal. He went down there to live a few years but came back for a ministry job. Baylor would bring Dallas tv market into the fold, #5 in the nation. Thats value. Does anyone actually bring TV markets anymore now that streaming is killing off cable? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 They don't even list Kansas, lol https://sports.yahoo.com/big-ten-were-revisit-expansion-163159391.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 The two schools I'd like to add are VA and GT. Seems to make the most sense considering geography, academics and athletics. Plus, it would harm the ACC which is realistically our main competition for second place after the SEC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I dont know who in the Big12 would even academically Aline with the B1G. But if we want to add a Texas school plus Kansas and Iowa St then perhaps W Virginia to help balance the conference somewhat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone in the ACC can be touched…including Notre Dame because of the contracts they have. Could we pull Colorado from the pac12?

To me the last thing they will worry about when it comes to realignment is academics. All these greedy universities cares about is money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas and Iowa St are AAU members and make sense academically but not so much financially. W VA doesn't add much financially either being such a poor state with a small alumni base. Texas A&M makes sense if they want to leave the SEC. Not sure they will want to tho. Would love to get them and another TX school if that is possible. I saw someone saying the ACC and PAC 12 could join together in an alliance. This would not be good for the B1G.

IU Scott Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 For me I want conferences to still be regionally aligned so I would expand and contract teams. Why not go all out and start over. Also not worried about academic standards or anything like that. OSU, UC, MSU, UM, IU, PU, NW, UI, UW, Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa St. Neb., KU, KSU, Colorado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still money being paid for these add ons like extra sports on sling etc. Espn, fox sports etc seem to constantly expand though revenues and viewership was pounded during covid.

That's the thing. Some are basing the importance of additional teams on the TV model, market share,etc......which isn't the case any longer. Important yes...but not what it was say 20 years ago.

You get a chance to add that to your hoops part of the conference it's an absolute no brainer. Honestly I'm surprised at some of the resistance on Kansas. It would be like telling us to take a hike from the Big 10 for a better part of 20 years minus 3-4 bowl games since Mallory left. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inequality Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 How about Purdue goes SEC. We attended a kids birthday party at K1 Speed today in Fishers. According to one parent, Purdue is final four material this year. Bahahahahahahahaha! I had to argue with the smooth brain. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but is it any worse then what has happened at Penn State, MSU and now Michigan under Bo. If the B1G is going to be all high and mighty they should kick those three teams out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveoutofsix Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Through a casual discussion, a neighbor said he saw on twitter a rumor that Fox sports is pushing Colorado, UCLA, USC and one other I can't rember to the Big10. Now that would be a power play over the SEC. Personally, I love locking down the middle strip of the country and brand the heck out of it. TV dollars will be huge! Get Kansas, Pittsburgh, Missouri. Delany really wanted UNC and there were rumblings back in the day. Now, Notre Dame.....could a new commissioner make that happen. ND was listening for all sports except football, but now who knows where they are with the independent thing. Now only in UofChicago can bring back D1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
