When they read the information they don't like, they think it's just a bunch of BS, throw stuff against the wall to see if it sticks..cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 7h One a personal level, I want Oregon to be in the Big Ten, but I also was provided the data that shows the reality of the situation. Oregon is NOT an additive gain to the Big Ten Conference. They are behind Nebraska in a lot of the 27 categories....cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 7h I understand now why Oregon hasn't been picked up when it's incredibly easy to add them if the conference leaders wanted Oregon. college football fan@Genetics56 · 7h The number one killer for Oregon is its admissions rate. When you compare it to the rest of the Big Ten for the avg per Big Ten school, it's so far away from the avg that it sticks out like the sun on a cloudless day. TheEmperorHasNoClothes@ARjdoc · 7h Replying to @ARjdoc and @Genetics56 Oregon about the same as Indiana, Iowa, Michigan St, and Nebraska college football fan@Genetics56 · 7h Big ten averages it over years for grad vs undergrade college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h Since Kansas comes up a lot, I'll share some more stuff on them. If you know Kansas, you can correctly assume a lot of things - football related categories are very bad, 5th from the very bottom in all of FBS. Basketball rate 3rd in all of college basetball...in other ares though college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h One would think Kansas would get a poor rating for population, but they actually get a good rating on that. It must be because of the Colorado thing. The olympic areas Kansas gets a good rating. The things that hurt Kansas are admissions rate, football, academic rank, Viewers. college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h UCLA, out of the 27 categories, rates good to excellent in all 27 categories. Stanford has more in the excellent level than UCLA, but it's clear UCLA is viewed highly among the Big Ten. college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin have good to excellent in 26 of the 27 categories. college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h Remember I posted the other data the new criteria for Big Ten expansion....for self-sustainability for financials in the athletic department, Notre Dame is the school that gets a negative score. Even UCLA with their debt has a higher rating. college football fan@Genetics56 · 4h You can be angry at what I have tweeted out since last night, but facts are facts. The facts are not going to change based on emotions. Only way the Big Ten expands is if Notre Dame or Stanford called. That is it since ACC is years away. college football fan@Genetics56 · 3h Even SI ranks Stanford higher than Oregon and they are nowhere near as detailed as the Big Ten is. The facts have spoken and Oregon is not an institutional fit for the Big Ten. college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h To answer numerous questions that I have gotten via DM's and comments. I'm not allowed to give out the categories. What I can say is, that there are 5 topics of focus and specific categories within each topic...such as research expenditure ranking, grad school rankings, etc. cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h For the ranking of each Big Ten school: the ranking is Northwestern, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, IL, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Purdue, Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, Nebraska. USC would slide into 3rd and UCLA would slide into 2nd...cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h If Stanford went to the Big Ten, then the top 3 would be from the Pac 12. Those are additive additions to the Big Ten Conference. There's nobody left in the country that could add to the top 4 spots in the Big Ten. That is officially closed off now if Stanford came.cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h For Notre Dame, they score positive in 22 categories out of 27. Their biggest negative is undergrad enrollment. Do I have numbers for all schools? No. I don't have any data on SEC schools or any G5 schools. Only Pac 12, Kansas, and ACC.cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h Would the Big Ten ever try to poach an SEC school? No. They operate with a different mindset. For example, most of the schools in the SEC spend more money on athletics than they do scientific research. Research is more important to the Big Ten than athletics..cont college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h When you compare the leftover P5 and G5 schools, outside of Stanford and Cal (counting USC + UCLA as Big Ten schools), the Big Ten schools have a 225% larger academic budget, 400% larger endowments, and 330% larger research expenditure. college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h Could Kansas get into the Big Ten? If they fix football. Otherwise, the answer is a no. Kansas rates as a negative in all football categories. Where would Notre Dame rank in the Big Ten without Stanford? 4th...behind UCLA, USC, NW. David Bowline@dwbowline · 2h You clearly know nothing about Kansas. Lawrence is part of KC market, has good academics, is an AAU school and has surprisingly decent ratings for televised football games. But keep spewing your garbage. college football fan@Genetics56 · 2h I know how the Big Ten rates Kansas since I have the data. They are positive in 15 out of the 27 categories but continue on... MH ver3@MH ver3 · 7h Those of you worrying about access to playoffs due to harder due to W/L record if B12 drops scheduling FCS and moved to 10 conference games-relax. Power5 (or 4) will most likely have an autobid for their champ after playoffs expand. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 38m Yormark meeting with Phil Knight this weekend. Don’t know if it’s Nike related, Ducks related, or both. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 34m And we are very seriously considering ESPNs offer for a tier3 network on a rebranded LHN. I’m going to say it now: people won’t be happy when OU and UT get out of B12 a year early and only paying about 50% of the exit fee [/QUOTE]
