The new SEC and B1G were pretty close to even in terms of number of draft picks in the NFL.
The new 16-team SEC had 73 picks. The new 18-team B1G had 69 picks.
Stinkin' LA schools. Not only were they the first big domino in the Pac 12 ceasing to exist, now they are scooping up most of the biggest prizes from fellow former Pac 12 schools. I'm gonna have a pretty hard time rooting for them in the B1G. :oops:
Eighteen conference games. The B1G hasn’t announced the schedule structure but if each team plays every other team in conference (seventeen opponents) then nine road games. If USC and UCLA play one another twice then one road game is a 13 mile bus ride. Out the eight remaining road games I...
Adding, simply because I noted the non-Blue Bloods with 2 or more:
Creighton (3)
Colorado (3)
Virginia
Arizona
Baylor
Marquette
USC
Alabama
Illinois
I might have missed something because I wrote nothing down, and relied on shirt term memory.
That might account for your showing 10 for BE, by...
Yes, the talent infusion into the conference from just those two teams is CRAZY to think about! The rest of the B1G will be playing catch-up for a few seasons.
...I hate to focus on doom and dread, but it's been one thing or another that's kept us out of a league with serious revenue and it looks as if the B1G and SEC have identified the next step to take to finish us (and most others) off. No wonder none of them have invited UConn to join their...
Guess they didn't want to dust off the 37 and 43 year old nattys so they had him pose with the B1G trophies to show they've actually won something within the last 25 years.
...was: "Goodness the UCLA-USC series should get some hype. I assume the matchups will be available on real television channels this year."
I'll end my thoughts with that. Better to have this discussion in a B1G thread instead of this one which is intended for new transfer commitment...
Odd fit. She's short, not a good ballhandler, and doesn't defend well at all. I know that they lost Sara Scalia, but Scalia was a better player at both of her B1G stops.
The group of 5 should partner with the Big 12 and ACC and not schedule any games vs the B1G or SEC.
Let the power two play each other in their own sandbox and see who cares.
...The move to drop Nebraska from the AAU was made in committee one year prior Nebraska being booted from the AAU.
The heads of that committee were the Michigan President, with one other B1G President as the 2nd.
They knew they were tossing Nebraska from the AAU BEFORE Nebraska joined the B1G.

The B1G did a great job with their basketball schedule. The PAC schools will play home and away against the other 3 and then either home or away against everyone else. USC/UCLA...
Swaim puts too much nonsense out there. I need credible sources to report on either of these "developments". Until then, Nebraska is firmly safe in the B1G and Texas A&M is firmly in the SEC.
Something to consider here..........let's assume that Florida State, Clemson, and Miami find landing spots in the SEC or B1G. Let's also assume that if Notre Dame does not join the B1G and remains independent that the P2 invite ND to their breakaway playoff.
The P2 will have every national...
Ironically schools suffered a double whammy when it came to full cost because the Obama administration insisted that full costs be made public. But these big schools wanted to maximize full cost payouts to athletes so they jacked up the full costs. It inflates costs with things that are not paid...
Congrats, I guess, for consolidating into a cartel that will never again allow a new champion to pop up out of nowhere.
In an unrelated story, the massive financial returns earned by the pro sports leagues in the last 50 years have come with EXPANSION. Growing the sports and adding fans.
It's...
...vision for what a conference should be, and 1 team essentially caught between two worlds there will always be tension.
I'm not sure that The B1G is in the cards, but I truly hope that The ACC or Big 12 is. There needs to be stability in both basketball/football scheduling and a revenue...
Sure, but if there are 20 players on the women’s hockey team each getting $35-40K/year in tuition and room and board compensated for them then the school is spending $800,000 to field that team which only brings in $25,000 in your scenario. So, they’re losing the University $775K/year and now...
A side benefit to realignment. These moves are all about money and football, but most of the B1G's realignment moves have benefited baseball.
Nebraska and Maryland are frequently top contenders and have each won conference championships. Rutgers usually does decent but has never won a B1G...
They have huge financial resources in the B1G but Sports also has half a billion in loans on recent facilities, and who even knows about the Big House and its needs.
The school is not going to funnel a lot of that extra money to sports when it shells out $30-$40m a year on interest payments.
Wowza...didn't expect this. B1G All-Frosh team and got zounds of playing time. Pretty late in the process to announce.
Once again, recruitniks might remember her as Mary Alice Groot when she primarily played at The Dalton School, although she spent a year in the Carolina's when New York City...
As to the women's issue, my guess is that's why the B1G and SEC have made it about "revenue" sharing. Separation of sources allows the sharing of revenue to be focused on those competing in the sport from which it was generated.
For example, if there's only $10,000 in annual ticket sales and...
