Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 4343195, member: 3859"] If ND decides it wants Stanford, Stanford will be part of the Big10. If ND wants to have NBC in on the media deal, they will be part of the Big10. If ND and USC want to be the last game of the year? ND will be in the Big10. If ND wants games every year with USC and UCLA? ND will be in the Big10. If ND wants to play Navy on a certain week of the year? ND will be in the Big10. No, they won’t get a bigger piece of the pie, but each school brings certain items they want dealt with. Right now, ND can dictate those terms. If they stay indy and get less money for the next 10 years, the world of NIL will eat them alive. Michigan is already having issues with NIL because they won’t give the NIL money to incoming freshman. Right now they have 8 recruits and ranked 13th out of 14 in the Big10. All after winning the Big10 and going to the playoff. Are they wrong? No, I don’t think so but their unwillingness to play the game is killing then. ND needs that money now, not in 10 years. If the projected payouts are what they are predicting, $100 million is the floor. Whether it’s the SEC or the Big10, they need to act now. [/QUOTE]
