I actually hope you don't. I like having ND as an Indy, just want to play you in the non conference.

At the risk of giving any credibility to these hairbrained ideas, if the B1G did move to an 18 or 20 team league stretching from New England to Nebraska to Texas to Florida and kept it's OOC relationship with the Pac12, isn't that the national schedule that is the foundation of ND's desire for independence? The TV would be better.

The only downsides I see would be needing to win a CCG to make the playoff and not being able to call yourself an independent. The first will likely be a reality going forward regardless and the second is just about ego.

The Irish would probably have to sacrifice their series' with Navy and BC to make that happen, but yeah give them Stanford as a permanent crossover and you basically have their core rivalries preserved.

I think you have a valid point. If the P4 emerges and it becomes clear that the only way to get into the football playoffs is through them, ND will have to join. Culturally, ND does not fit well with the SEC and while they have football rivals with Stanford and USC and want West Coast exposure, logistically makes them joining the PAC very difficult. I also can't see them in the XII due to the same cultural reasons as the SEC, though they do like having exposure in Texas. If the ACC folds, ND's only reasonable choice is the B1G. Now if the XII folds and the B1G gets U Texas and Oklahoma, a conference that extends from New England (hopefully with UConn) to Texas is about as 'national' as one can get and I can see that being very attractive to ND versus the ACC's market from New England (BC, cough, cough) to Florida.

Strange, I thought the consensus is that the Big Ten had "moved on" from ND and that the Irish were not that attractive to the Big Ten nowadays.....

Well, first there was Rutgers and Maryland, now Oklahoma and Kansas and half the ACC are being talked about. Somehow ND slipped back into the conversation with the ACC...

B12 just got more info back from the research group.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
8 conference games with 12 teams gives them a better mathematical chance of getting 2 teams in playoffs.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
And doubles the chance of getting one team in every year.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
Increases the chance of having two highly ranked unbeaten or one loss teams in CCG as well

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
Also new numbers showing Uconns penetration in NY and Boston TV markets are very favorable in both fb and (especially) bball

H ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
BYU also showing as the best option for overall TV ratings in football with heavy market penetration on west coast

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 4h4 hours ago
Cincy will bring their city market but a very small share of the rest of state-getting full sub fee for network could be uphill battle

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
UCF has very favorable numbers in football but again wouldn't guarantee the whole state with higher sub fees

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Memphis actually scored very high in market penetration for fb(recently)and with statewide bball following could get higher sub fee all over

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Tulane gets poor marks in TV penetration/ fan interest

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Ecu too regional as well

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Colorado St also marginal in those areas

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Boise Also doesn't deliver the punch necessary for network penetration.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
So Uconn and BYU are the best 2 choices. Followed by Memphis and slightly behind them Cincy and USF.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
According to the firms findings.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
UC has the most support from member schools though.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
The next round of numbers to come in will be schools currently in P5 conferences.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
I'm told they are researching half the ACC, Arizona, Arizona St, and Colorado(???)

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Also should have more in depth numbers on financials of a B12N. Firm has been working closely with ESPN on this one.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago

You know, the ACC implosion I don't buy, but his reporting on the markets of these schools strikes me as likely spot on.

Perhaps it isn't far fetched that if the Big 12 is running these numbers, they are running them with select P5 schools that they might possibly be able to recruit in the event of a more major upheaval.

Putting aside the ludicrousness of placing Memphis ahead of Cincy, this is an obvious falsehood. For expansion to double the chance of the B12 getting one team in the playoff every year, their chance of getting a team in without expansion would have to be less than 50%. No way that's true.

Possibly expansion halves the possibility of not getting a team in, say from 30% to 15%. But that seems unlikely when you're adding two teams unlikely to make it in.

The teams coming in aren't the point. The point is that -
1) having a CCG game increases the chance that your best team gets in, and
2) going to an 8-game conference schedule makes it easier for your best team to go undefeated
 
Anyone floating the idea that the ACC will lose teams to the Big 12 at this point should be disregarded out of hand.

Not inconceivable that sometime in the next 5-10 years it could happen, but without a Big 12 Network in place forget about it.

He got something right a long time ago, but I don't even remember what it was. He may have called WVU to the Big 12, which may have been a lucky guess or he may have had inside information.

They could also be benchmarking the TV markets for other schools to test where the XII's likely stand in comparison. That typical in the business world. My company benchmarks data from places like Google with respect to recruiting for computer science majors knowing full well that we don't have the money to throw at the top 10% like Google does.

Been sick. Sorry this is late. BHV data may mean Big 12 expands without a network. UC looking safe. The others still in play.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
May means exactly that... still a ton of internal debate has to occur.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
And while UC looks safe the idea of expansion without a network means that football only expansion is more likely than ever.

Football only expansion is good news for BYU and perhaps even say Boise State?????? Travel not an issue for football only.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago

@bigwilliemo @Mike_ohio26 For the past several years I have said the Big 12 will not expand unless it is profitable to do so or...

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
@bigwilliemo @Mike_ohio26 Unless the Big 12 is forced to expand by outside forces like the CFB playoffs.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
@bigwilliemo @Mike_ohio26 At no time have I changed that stance. I have often stated my opinion that the Big 12 should expand.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago

William Morris ‏@bigwilliemo 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @Mike_ohio26 UC, UCONN, Memphis would not do football only.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 3h3 hours ago
@bigwilliemo @Mike_ohio26 That's by no means certain. I'm not saying that will happen. I'm saying the chatter says its possible.
 
My prediction of how things work out:

Does the B1G invite UConn? If so, UConn to the B1G, and B12 does football-only expansion with BYU and Cincy. No network. Oklahoma starts packing its bags.

If not, UConn and Cincy in all sports to the B12, and there's a network.
