To me Washington (Seattle-Tacoma), UNC (multiple in top 50), Oregon (Portland), Colorado (Denver), Stanford (Bay Area), GA Tech (Atlanta), and Arizona (Phoenix) are where you are most likely to get the bang for your buck. Asterisk for Notre Dame as they are a special case. I would choose the remaining 4 out of that group and possibly make a run at one of the Florida teams in the ACC but I think that would be a heavy lift (and may not fit the AAU side of the BIG). Edit to add: And I don't see why USC and UCLA couldn't get you on TV in the bay area or anywhere else in California either. I would assume their graduates are not all residents of L.A.

BobSaccamanno Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Getting UNC is a no brainer. So would be somebody in the Florida market. Maybe U of F. Yes, it’s far from Miami but presumably it’s still their state school and you could get all the Florida markets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 ND would make 3 Big Ten teams in the state of Indiana. I would rather look elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Oregon doesn’t accomplish much for us. Small market. I suppose they have Nike. At least Washington brings us Seattle. I say we be cutthroat about it and be very picky. They add value or just say no. This is the benefit of being a core member of the B1G.

Steubenhoosier Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 No way do I want Notice Dames in the conference. Their alumni attitude is that they are better than any conference. I don't want them having any easy way into the playoffs. Let them see if NBC will pony up the money the B1G schools stand to make. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously best for the conference ND would be a home run addition. I also know we've asked them for 25 years and they've said no. So should I let my personal bias of hating all things Notre Dame....get in the way of big addition? Or should we stop the music and let ND be the one's without a chair. I'm torn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s strictly a football decision, other teams would be asked to leave before Purdue IMO. Edited July 1, 2022 by Stlboiler23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Why wait on Notre Dame. If you're ultimately headed to 20 teams, you can still add Oregon an Washington to get to 18. And, then you can pause while waiting for the Irish. Gives UCLA and USC some closer conference foes. Another question would be, if you do add Notre Dame, who comes in with them? A West Coast team with Notre Dame does not make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
