  1. There were two different things being discussed. The first was geographic continuity. I still contend the B1G LOOKs ridiculous with the bulk of their members around the great lakes then a thousand miles of nothing until coastline. That has nothing to do with the schools and everything to do with where the schools are. Second, we were discussing the SEC and who they should grab, I was agreeing with the sentiment the SEC doesn't need to expand, do to favoring "quality over quantity." The more big brands are condensed, the greater the interest, the higher the value.
  2. Agree, the B1G looks ridiculous right now. I'd take quality over quantity.
  3. If they dissolve it will be a line item on next year's revenue, so everyone will make less. Same is true on if they liquidate assets, etc, that will all go into the pot to pay out before turning off the lights
  4. Underrated...let's check the math: Stanford, Cal and SMU come in to give them 18, pay them all $15m. $45m gets split between FSU/Clemson, plus a bigger share of the post season...that could be a $25-35m bump for each, getting them to $55-65m.
  5. If they're inviting SMU, then FSU is definitely out the door.
  6. yeah MWC poison pill of $17m for a year notice $34m for less is killing their prospects of expanding. Someone should have told them than with the way their contract is structured with no buyouts that they shouldn't wait until the last minute to do a media deal.
  7. San Diego State fails in attempt to create new 'Power Five' conference with Pac-12, Mountain West, AAC members SDSU's effort to rally a group of major programs into a new league fell short before it gained any momentum
  8. And I thought ESPN marketing was relentless, now three networks will be parroting B1G shit all the time.
  9. thank god it changes color so you know its cold
  10. Seems more like 12, if you round up, which is 3/4ths of the schools. If they added Stanford and Cal it would be 13. Some light reading: ACC Constitution and Bylaws Excerpts: Need to do it before hand too, because once you say you're leaving you lose your vote and all rights on future revenue - also need to do it by next week: Also, GoR isn't in the constitution/bylaws because it is a separate agreement binding the rights to 2036 regardless of if the member withdraws from the conference. Here's the initial GoR, which was extended from 2027 to 2036 to make the ACC Network.
  11. I'm still struggling to see how this one makes any logistical and financial sense, outside the ACC network getting a bump in Cali.
  12. Report: Dodds admits courting ND Matt Fortuna, ESPN Staff WriterMay 23, 2012, 09:00 AM ET No, the Big 12 isn't planning on expanding just yet. That doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't welcome Notre Dame, though. Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds told CBSSports.com on Tuesday that conference representatives have spoken with the Irish as far back as August 2010 about moving the athletic department's Olympic sports to the Big 12....
  13. Agree with this completely. This is the next big revenue slot to fill once the playoffs are expanded. Currently when you look at these media deals, they only value conference games. Even if you go play another P5, er P4 it isn't factored in because, one, its a H/A usually so you only get half and, two, because it isn't consistent...its an outlier they can't measure. That leaves 25-33% of the games undervalued. You can fix this by playing more conference games, or entering into a scheduling agreement. For instance if the new Big 16 and the SEC decide to play 8 conference games and two H/A's a year against each other, they'd have 12 P4 games on the schedule, providing value to both media deals, and maximizing the entire regular season. Downside, you get rid of "tune ups" But do something like this and a $60m media deal turns into an $80m one as fast as you can say Abilene Christian.
  14. Hahaha yeah one game. Tell me you don't know oSu football without telling me. But yeah, that was likely as close as we'll ever get. Texas has had and will have many more. Wasn't it right after a student plane crash or something?
  15. The benefit is the more times you put Iowa against Minnesota, the less times you need to feature them against Ohio State.
  16. Also, looking at the map, they are a pretty region conference now, much better distance wise than the B1G and not much worse than the Pac was prior. Might as well wait and watch, probably better off with ACC schools around WVU/Cinci/UCF than going further west. They're remarkably in a good spot for what could have been.
  17. Yeah, these non-power match ups like Iowa/Minnesota or Indiana/Purdue are going to be conference channel draws. The B1G's big games will be one of Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan or USC at noon, 3:30 or primetime (eastern) against whoever they play that week.
  18. Doesn't matter what the B1G says any more, they're being run by Fox.
  19. Independant sounds perfect then, they can be a US Olympic training center and get funding that way.
