Of course it's about money. Everything they do is about money. They play Mercer and Toledo so they don't have to play a road game the next year in a home and home. It's all money. You're getting what fans want and what schools want mixed up.
How bout you schedule some true road games away from the east coast. How bout you play at UW and at Southern Cal? Cowards
If they don’t get Voletta Wallace and Afeni Shakur to announce the merger they’ve really dropped the ball.
Not exactly. We did a hat survey in Brooklyn and there were more B1G hats than you could count. Not specific universities, just B1G Conference hats. Sorry you had to find out this way.
Big fan of WV to the ACC with Virginia, Tech, and Pitt. Brett fn Cavanaugh, the man who shoved this boulder off the mountain. What a world.
Just want to share that I talked a bunch of shit about FSN and their seemingly outsized role in the future of our conference on the team board last night. FS(whatever) is garbage through and through and they can get fucked.
Seems like the best fit of the remaining 8 teams. West Virginia - ACC Kansas - B1G, ACC, PAC, or AAC KSU - PAC or AAC Iowa State - B1G, PAC or AAC Oklahoma State - PAC, ACC? Tech - PAC or AAC TCU - PAC or AAC Baylor - AAC AAC is about to become a power 5
Sir, it’s Bally sports now. And no one gets it. I haven’t seen a rays game all season because of not getting it
Ok well now I feel dumb in conflating these things. Yea those regional ones have been subsumed in various ways but I still hate the fox sports product & operation whether it be FOX, or fs1/fs2.
Because there is pretty considerable money from academics/research for the B1G tied to membership if I recall. Not as strict as once thought but they wouldn’t hinder that just to expand for CFB.
It was a compliment and a joke, dbl. I want you to beat our rivals because you’re good, give em an extra loss.
Big Ten Universities get over $10 Billion dollars a year in research money as part of the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Compare that to $50 something million for football.
A&M is going to have quite the time when their 11 win hopes are slapped across the face with the long dong of 7-5. It's not the loss to Texas that will break them, either. It'll be how little Texas will care that they won.
can I interest the B1G in our new billion dollar bioterrorism research lab NBAF. we will literally just give it to you
With global warming being what it is, the B1G will certainly need the premier wind and tornado research university
Does the Big Ten not get the research money if Oklahoma State plays football ever year against Michigan and Ohio State? He is a thing I know about Oklahoma State's academic program: You can flunk out of Oklahoma State. Thousands have done it. You can't flunk out of Harvard and Yale. You literally can't. They only give B-'s on 12 hours a semester.
I don't know the interworking of this alliance and I don't think you really care. So I'm not sure the answer to your riddle.
My riddle is: Oklahoma State is good at football. Would add a competitive team to the Pac 12 or BIG. Anyone blathering on about academic profiles is selling bullshit. Oklahoma State, or whomever will be excluded because they aren't a big enough draw, and they don't want to split the money with them.
