You would need to review the history of their relationship

@TerryD

They are self loathing about square states.....its pretty obvious.

I don't understand what's their problem with the B1G? That seems like the perfect spot for them smack dab in the middle of the conference footprint. I mean they're a stone's throw from MSU, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Illinois, and even Ohio State. They are in the middle of the...

Are we really going to burn up 'Yard bandwidth cataloging all of the B1G's accomplishments?

Irish Fans like to hold to that story, but the truth is something different. Notre Dame has not joined The B1G or any conference because they haven't needed to do so. They can still get a comparable media deal to The P2, maintain homes for all of their non-revenue sports across different...

Old Gordy's Rhetoric sure didn't scare their Hockey Team away from joining the B1G when it was deemed beneficial over remaining in Hockey East.

Apparently yes...

...Some still believe ND will never give up football "independence." The ACC allowed ND to be a partial football member. I don't see either the B1G or SEC bending over like that. It will be really interesting to see what ND does if the ACC loses key members and ND feels the need to be aligned...

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...

Or maybe they cut a ridiculously favorable deal with the big 12

I think we’re all certifiable. If ACC collapses I don’t think ND goes back to Big East I think they’ll finally be in the B1G.

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.

My take is that there indeed was anti-Catholic bias by at least some in the Big Ten back in the 1930-40s, lead by Fielding Yost, head football coach and AD of Michigan. So Notre Dame could not join the Big Ten then. Naturally, there was still bitterness after Yost died and the Big Ten were in a...

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.

...financially whole by continuing its current deal with new members. People can claim that a bunch of ACC Schools will head to The Big 12, B1G, SEC etc, but the media rights holders, including ESPN, will determine that. They have to pay for any of these additions and keep the current membership...

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...
