Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4341690, member: 11388"] Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 50m BTM “It didn’t take much to rally the votes behind USC and UCLA’s inclusion into Big Ten. Its also been communicated by B1G leadership this is the bridge to Notre Dame. Ohio St, Michigan, Michigan and Penn St quickly voiced support for Bruins and Trojans” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 49m BTM “Notre Dame has some leverage, as did USC, in negotiating with Big Ten, but all parties know Notre Dame loses all of it after the crystalizing new Big Ten media contract is announced. This is the last time Notre Dame can jump while being able to dictate some of its terms” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 49m BTM “Every passing hour Notre Dame doesn’t decline Big Ten invitation is an hour closer to becoming a Big Ten member. And again, all parties know this and nobody wants to prolong the decision.” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 48m BTM “Lots of maneuvering internally needs to be done at Notre Dame if they come to deciding on realigning themselves with Big Ten. For the first time ever, largely because of NIL, Irish boosters have given green light if Administration says it’s a go” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 48m BTM “Our perception is Notre Dame wouldn’t call the shot on who would be added with them for its was USC addition that was needed to make it happen. Open conversation is flowing between USC & Notre Dame Admins and Big Ten no longer needs to question what needs to happen.” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 47m BTM “USC is recruiting Notre Dame into Big Ten. They are active. USC has been active for months. Aggressive. USC’s Athletic Director knew his schools value and knew it’s leverage points and brought it and still is bringing it” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 46m BTM “NIL is the hammer. Big brands want to play against big brands more often and if they can’t they still want to play in biggest markets. Big Ten markets buy products and services of its advertisers. LA markets will increase wealth all around Big Ten” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 46m BTM “Washington and Oregon were not told no by Big Ten. Big Ten pause button on any additions other than Notre Dame has been pushed. PAC can’t make any expansion moves until Notre Dame, Washington and Oregon have finished their rounds with Warren.” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 46m BTM “The important part to realize is Notre Dame knows nothing else can happen until they make decision. They don’t want to hold everybody up. Too much money and institutions are on edge” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 43m BTM “Washington, Oregon, Utah and Arizona St all have above average valuations from FOX. If Notre Dame declines invite is valuation from FOX high enough to propel Washington and Oregon to Big Ten? We believe answer is yes. It will come down to Warren’s vision of B1G in 10 years” Greg Flugaur@flugempire · 42m BTM “Notre Dame will let everyone know in matter of days. You can say what you want about the institution but they are professional and know lingering over the question only damages other institutions. Big Ten expects to get their answer very soon” college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h Do not be surprised if Oregon's rich alumni "pay off" ND's fees. It's desperation time for Oregon and Washington. They will do what it takes and if either get left behind, it would be devastating to their AD. college football fan@Genetics56 · 17m Source info via text tonight "Notre Dame has been talking to alumni over the last couple of weeks and 82% of a little over 1,000 alumni are ok with them joining a conference fully." college football fan@Genetics56 · 12m Like I said earlier today, I've seen people talk about Utah, the Arizona schools, etc going to the Big Ten. There's no truth to that at all. Washington and Oregon are the two Pac schools with a high likelihood of getting to the Big Ten...cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 11m Sure Stanford has all of the academics and money and national titles in sports nobody watches, but once the Big Ten is to 18 or 19, they will go east. They want UNC. college football fan@Genetics56 · 9m The difference between me and Flugempire is that my source is directly inside the Big Ten while his is a person that knows a person in the Big Ten. 2nd hand vs 3rd hand. It's why I get intel he has no clue about yet...like the breakaway he based me about..and I'm right about it college football fan@Genetics56 · 5m I don't know what will happen between the Pac 12 and Big 12. I've always assumed they will merge together, but that is not always a given. I'm guessing, but I bet Kansas, TCU, Oklahoma State, etc, join the Pac 12. Big 12 back fills again. college football fan@Genetics56 · 1m Like I tweeted in April, schools are going to join in what will eventually be the breakaway at various times. 2 already in. In a couple of years or so the ACC schools should be ready for the picking and split between SEC and Big Ten. Then the breakaway happens. Comment: since the Dude of WV and Flug have settled their dispute it seems that this Genetics guy is quickly trying to fill in as the foil to the Flug [/QUOTE]
