  1. (Minus the Big Ten and Pac 12, of course) ((Also assuming there are any players left by then)) (((Also assuming no meteor impacts or other world destroying events so akin to 2020)))
  2. That's not true, they just showed up real late and no one really cared that they were there.
  3. I doubt they'll be the last to fall, out of necessity or out of "been waiting for a reason" Stanford killed like 12 sports already i think
  4. Grabbing all the news then not showing up on the field is the Big Ten way.
  5. I'm not sure about the rest, but I think the orange slices may help.
  6. The Pac deal is actually one of the newest where everything went to bid at the same time. I'd wager it is market for their ratings. They skimmed more inventory off for the PACN so that's about where they could go get more. Even selling 6 more conference games could add $2-4m per team to their contract. B12's contract isn't bad, but it isn't good. It was able to keep it pretty even by going from 8 to 9 conference games when shit went south (conference games are worth several magnitudes more than non-con). The T2/3 deals are close to market as they were able to renegotiate them a few years back, but their T1 deal is very old and very under priced. The fact that they're still within swinging distance of the SEC is a pretty good sign. The Big Ten's massive jump had a lot to do with being able to get a new T1 deal, on a short contract (less risk, higher price) and add an additional conference game to the mix. The SEC could do this as well, by going to 9 conference games, but has chosen not to. Their deal with CBS is up in 2023, so expect that. This is probably more of a topic for the realignment thread, but if they could add any P5 school and stay 9 conference games or more (the SEC is ten this year, I think we're going to see more of this than less in the future because they'll figure out it makes more money, even at the risk of less championships) they'll increase on par with everyone else. (E.g. Arkansas, Arizonas, etc) If they add someone who has even a shred of cache like Texas and Oklahoma, they'll become a power broker instead of just keeping pace. (E.g. USC or even Nebraska) On a side note, and assuming all things stay healthy and don't shit the bed, the Big Ten gave a gift to the SEC this year. If the SEC was forced to go to ten conference games, in a packed P5, they'll be out of the lime light a bit as they'll have a lot more losses than their normal 8 game schedule. However, with two P5s gone, they not only will steal the narrative and get credit for that, but they'll also place more teams into the playoffs, with more loses, than if the Big Ten was playing.
  7. You've gone off the deep end, to such a degree that you reminded me there was an ignore option and inspired me to use it. Also, you negged me twice; for agreeing with you and for math, which is just being a douchenoodle and hurtful to numbers. Save that for posts like above.
  8. Heh, Joe bringing the one line burns on a consistent basis.
  9. CBS, affiliated with the SEC, giving it to the Big Ten
  10. To be fair, that $325m in debt isn't cash flow, but total debt obligations, like bonds to build a new building, etc. The yearly amount they pay on that is closer to $10-20m, but it does indicate the potential size of the iceberg for some schools.
  11. Or the non-football powers trying to take the reins back from the football powers
  12. How a cardiologist may have saved the college football season Full: Snippet:
  13. Penn State coach James Franklin 'frustrated' by lack of communication from Big Ten in canceling fall season
  14. I'm pretty sure I can come up with an extensive list just within the last ten pages of this thread that would top that.
