Well guess it's time for UConn to accept that standing B1G invite. Oh wait..........

I didn't realize you were a big 10 rep.

I would be fine with ND playing a fixed schedule of football games in The B1G as long as that fixed number is 9 games. The B1G is not The ACC. They don’t need The Irish to prop them up. There are more than enough quality programs who can drive ratings without them. The only concession I would...

He's a total UConn hater. He pretty much hates everything that isn't the B1G.

I can’t believe the ACC is claiming Stanford and Cal before their contract with the PAC-12 expires. That’s ballsy. I wonder if Washington State and Oregon State could sue? The Big 12 and B1G have not yet claimed their new additions.

Geez, it is still June and USC already has B1G on the basketball court? Oh yeah, nice dunk by Kiki!!

...of the P2 but also wants a road to the CFP. That road is becoming less stable as the ACC deteriorates A Football scheduling alliance with the B1G allows ND to latch on and suck the teet of its next host. Keeps its SOS high The B1G gets valuable OOC games with ND without holding its nose and...

Unless they already have received the third party/back channel wink and nod from the B1G.

It's called business strategy.

Everyone should know that, but if you’re a B1G fan you’re certain the B1G is the best BB conference for the last 30 years with just a string of bad luck.

Not going to happen but I would be in favor. Beats a lot of the alternative additions!

...make money no matter what. The ACC may implode. ND basketball may (or may not) be more successful in the Big East. ND probably won't join the B1G. And it would be good for the Big East. I'll entertain the idea. Regarding Clemson vs. USC. I can see why both schools would insist on...

I never realized the B1G and FSU needed the SEC's permission for the B1G to add FSU. Good to know.

...home. It's called the ACC. I don't know where the schools that want out think they are going to go. Through all of the madness in recent years the SEC has shown zero interest in taking on more mouths to feed, and the B1G is still trying to absorb the 37 teams they took on after the Pac12...

...believe Indiana is pulling in $300M a year in donations? And if so why would you donate if PE was taking a cut? And nobody wants to let these people near their endowments, Holy f——- Also the B1G doesn’t need PE. The Big 12 is only considering it because it wants to close the gap with the B1G.

Get real. If UConn wasn't able to compete in the AAC, what makes you think it would thrive in the B1G? Furthermore, why would the B1G want to establish a sports presence in a part of the country whose residents couldn't care less about college athletics?

If Notre Dame could get back to being decent at basketball, having Xavier, Butler, NDU and Marquette all in the Midwest makes for some compelling match ups. DePaul will of course continue to suck.

The B1G just invited 4 extremely good football programs which will likely provide losses to even Ohio State and Michigan The B1G did invite UCLA but basketball is still not as strong overall as it should be UConn Football will improve significantly in a conference, and even more so in a "power"...

Yet, it seems that no one that matters believes in UConn. Thus, the predicament.

Interesting article on the logistics of the B1G volleyball schedule. https://volleyballmag.com/2024-big-ten-volleyball-schedule-062324/

Has the SEC or B1G even hinted at offering them landing spots? ESPN owns the media rights to the ACC and SEC. Don't they have to sign on to the idea that the SEC accepting Clemson and FSU into their conference means they have to pay those two 51M/year instead of 30M/year under the ACC? And is...

I assume based on your hypothetical scenario that enough teams end up leaving and it finally forces Notre Dame into the B1G?

Oregon shows off its new basketball court, includes B1G logo - https://duckswire.usatoday.com/2024/06/23/oregon-ducks-matthew-knight-arena-basketball-court-big-ten/

B1G would be a dream man. Literally only a dream.

The B1G basketball ratings on the same network as ours and absolutely dominate the BE. The BE ratings really are not impressive one bit outside of UConn games.

Having BC be your only New England team is pretty much the same as having no New England team. ESPN gave the B1G an opportunity to own New England. An opportunity they haven't yet seized.

If we were in the B1G, the B1G would finally have meaningful basketball wins.....and a better baseball program. And rounded out their map with the flagship state school of New England and arguably of NE and NY. You know all that, just saying....

it's honestly shocking to me that no big conference will pick us up with a reduced media payout (if it hasn't already been tried). Are we really not worth an extra 5 million or whatever the BE media deal is to the B1G but SMU is to the ACC?

...college football fans in the Northeast. Bring in a steady stream of Penn State, Ohio state, Michigan, USC, even nearby Rutgers, ticket sales would be through the roof. Given the close proximity to Boston and NYC and the number of B1G alumni in the Northeast, The Rent would be sold out every...

We've been on a BE share this whole time, I'd be happy with even a quarter of the B1G for life

Thank you for your interest in UConn football

...think. I forget which podcast I was listening to a few months back, but it was a pretty prominent sports analyst who said Clemson isnt even on SEC or B1G's short list. FSU/UNC/UVA in that order are at the top. However, if given the oppurtunity, Clemson would bounce for the big 12 in a heartbeat.

Of course UConn is worth that. But so far with reduced shares, there is a timeframe that passes where the schools eventually earn a full share. Is UConn worth an eventual full-share payout to the B1G? That is the better question.
