Heard the practice facility is amazing too. That said it’s definitely an uphill battle in a conference like the B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only hinderance would be the academics, but as Fitz showed, it is possible for NW to be a strong, consistent winner with top of conference finishes sprinkled in. On another note, I would love for IU to enclose the stadium eventually similar to this. They have improved it dramatically over the last decade, but want them to take the final step and run what they have on both entryways around the sides as well to create more of a cohesive fasade and enclose the internal structures (i.e. concession, seating, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Northwestern being able to compete, their road to successful seasons will be much tougher for any coach without divisions. The West was just incredibly weak compared to the East.

They haven't exactly competed well in the B1G, and they were kicked out of the AAU after joining. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Washington, Oregon, Stanford, and Cal.

The bottom is the bottom and it isn’t like we are going to bring in bad schools just to help us look better. We will be lucky they let us stay in the B1G.

Seeking6 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Which way does this end? Miami and North Carolina fit the academic model far more than Florida St and Clemson for Big 10. Or does the Big 10 go with Oregon and Washington? I'd imagine the Big 10 would love to have a footprint down South. Based on the calls today it's just a matter of when those teams leave the ACC.

I honestly wonder if the LifeWallet issues with John Ruiz at Miami will play any part tbh. I feel like there’s a slimy element to Miami IMO that the B1G may want to stay away from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what's happened over the years at Penn St, Michigan St, now Northwestern,etc...I don't think the Big 10 needs to be looking down at anyone's stuff...especially since what's going with Ruiz is more of a witch hunt. Academically and TV Miami and UNC fit perfectly. Some will say Florida St but it's just not a market the Big 10 wants. Miami is international. Florida St is SEC light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 This would suck for Indiana, but for i think this would be super fun and entertaining as a fan. It gives us the top teams playing each other in a playoff format, gives smaller programs something to play for, and makes the season way more entertaining for more teams. For Indiana as an example, while the conference affiliation isn't as glamorous, the season also isn't over 4 games into it. You have league advancement to play for, etc. I think this would be a really fun way to do college football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they were in that top tier but yet they were able to finish near the top. And it made for one heck of an exciting season.
