I got it so we could watch the 500 in May and we've kept it and probably watch it more than a lot of the other apps. They have a lot of good movies on there and my kids spent their summer break binge watching The Office for the first time. Worth it outside of just the sports in my opinion. I would also add that Peacock has "The Dan Patrick Show." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Thought this was a good story. Guy that broke the USC to Big 10 was a self described nobody who was very active on Minnesota Message Boards. https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2022-08-19/greg-flugaur-minnesota-fan-broke-usc-move-big-ten The part I thought was funny is that when he first posted the stuff his source called him and said you are being followed now by someone at the Big 10 office. Hardest thing in the world to do is sit on juicy stuff because of everything that comes with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted on old Peegs board about 15+ years ago....only took an hour to get back to me. Last time I ever shared anything remotely close to big news.

I was more wondering if the California legislature is going to let state schools go to the Big 10. There's word around the campfire they might not...

IUCrazy2 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 "He explained the conference still has their eyes on Notre Dame, but is also interested in adding Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Cal, and Washington." Typo or are they talking about adding Washington and Washington St? They are at 16 with USC and UCLA, so I am guessing pick 4 from that list. If they had to pull Cal to keep UCLA then do they add Oregon and shoot for Notre Dame and Stanford with the Washington teams being on the outside looking in? And if they do this, they are basically leaving the south to the SEC and ACC for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 How is it beneficial to the B1G financially if you bring the majority of the PAC12. These schools weren’t viable with their current tv deals why would broadcasters give us more for adding them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I’m Washington or USC etc am i willing to accept less then Northwestern or Purdue….or heck even IU? To me it sets us up down the road to put us all in tiers and we are right back where we started. Imo we better get our football act together fast.

As long as a Washington gets more than their PAC 10 deal, I'd imagine they would be ok. Eventually, I agree, there could be a realignment. That might be the plan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An economist should probably weigh in, but my thought is that if there is a large enough critical mass of famous schools, the conference containing them might have a disproportionate power when negotiating - almost like a monopoly.

NotIThatLives Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 The composite top 5 makes a lot of sense if you don't have the balls to try and poach a texas a&m, Florida, or Georgia. Notre Dame, oregon, Washington North Carolina, and Florida st. Sure but go big and don't be a wuss about it. It seems inevitable its going to be Oregon and somebody out west. Maybe norte dame and standford package deal. But why not go to 24? Sure you would take north Carolina and Florida st if a&m, Georgia and Florida told you to fly kites but you have to present them with what is eventually going to be north of 100 million a year and with the alliance from nbc, fox B1G, and CBS, the sec is stuck with espn and abc.

From everything I have seen and read, Warren has set no fixed number that the B1G will stop at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
