Yep...and FSU was successful moving to the ACC from indy.

BC did its best in the ACC with Big East recruited players.

Missouri wasn't expected to compete in the SEC in football. They won two division titles.

...BC did its best in the ACC with a future 9 year and counting NFL quarterback...Matt Ryan...who took his team to the Super Bowl last season.

Having an elite QB will push any team up.....

NC State has been dismal...but with Phillip Rivers (NFL QB) they won 11 games. Rivers is 14 years and counting in the NFL and has the fifth most starts in NFL history.

Thank you for the history and football lesson, Matt was being recruited prior to the 2003 season.

And BC was being recruited prior to the 2003 season. as well..LOL

But, it is about the QB in football. Surrounding cast is nice to have...but you have to have a QB.

For instance, UCF won 12 games with future NFL'r Bortles at QB...he left for the 2014 draft and by 2015, UCF is 0-12...

BC had Matt Ryan and then 20 years before that, Doug Flutie...maybe in another 20 years they will again win games with a good QB.

Traditionally,this would be correct.Could be correct in regards to Boren's replacement. Big Ten perception is Boren is lining it up for Joe.

Replying to @flugempire @RedhawkLand
If Boren is successful it indicates OU to B10.

If OU ends up in SEC, PAC or B12 it means OU said no to B10.

Not other way around.
Truth.

Setting aside the fact that it's a Flugar tweet, I'm not buying that Oklahoma is going to place their AD in the presidents spot just so they can get into the Big10. How would that look better to the Big10? Wouldn't a current Big10 provost look better?

It doesn't make much sense even for a nonsense BTM Post. For example, in what universe does OU say no to a B1G Invite unless it comes with an absurd amount of strings attached? OU has been working for decades to be viewed on the same level academically with the schools in The B1G but suddenly membership in that group would be rejected by its leadership? Seem legit.

 

[HoopsFan21]

If the B1G takes Oklahoma, would expect Kansas to go along as their partner creating a stranglehold on the Midwest from MN down to the TX border.

 

[chicago312]

OU putting their AD in as President screams "football factory." Watch that B1G "support" disappear if they do something like that.

They won with Glen Foley too. Played a bit, mostly Jets I think.

Didn't seem to hurt Wisconsin & Barry Alvarez

Didn't seem to hurt Wisconsin & Barry Alvarez

Wisconsin is already a very highly rated AAU school and a founding member of the Big10. They don't need to prove anything to the Big10. They are usually rated 3rd academically behind Northwestern and Michigan. They are anything but a football factory. Oklahoma is trying to improve their image and prestige as an academic institution. Hiring their AD as president doesn't do much to change the football factory perception.

The only way I can see this as a remote possibility is if he is there during the transition to the Big10 (if they get invited). He is highly respected within the Sooner community and highly thought of as an athletic administrator (Michigan inquired about hiring him before Warde Manuel was hired). That being said, I just don't see it.

 

[chicago312]

Didn't seem to hurt Wisconsin & Barry Alvarez

Alvarez isn't the University of Wisconsin President. He went from coach to AD, which is hardly unprecedented. Wisconsin's current President has a Ph.D from MIT, taught at Princeton and MIT and was a Dean at Michigan before leaving to become US Secretary of Commerce. A bit more impressive credentials for the job than being an AD.

In most rankings, you're right about Wisconsin. I did find it interesting though that Ohio State is now the third hardest Big Ten school to get into after Northwestern & Michigan. Here's a good ranking system that uses some of the broad AAU metrics. Publics & Privates together are on pg 14 while Publics compared only to other publics are on pg 20. Ten schools rank in the top 25 in all 9 metrics, though if you break things down a bit Michigan and UCLA are the only two who rank in the top 10 in all 9.

Wisconsin is past peak.

Hmmmmm . . . Not so sure on that.

Football - Wisconsin is averaging over 10 wins a season over new coach Paul Chryst first two years (21-6). Gary Anderson was 19-7 and Brett Beliema was 68-24 over their tenures. They all have kept up what Alvarez started (they were never a top tier program, but very competitive).

Basketball - Wisconsin has made the NCAA tournement every year since 1999, been in the sweet sixteen since 2014 (also 2012, 2011 and 2008), final four in 2014 and 2015 and the runner up in 2015.

Academically, they are a top public school.

I don't see all those Big12 team finding a new conference. Some of them are real trash programs and/or schools.
