You have to think that this 'resignation' by Marinatto is just a precurser to something else that is right around the corner. What do you think it is? Some possibilities:
- Split of BE conference between D1A (football) and D1AA (basketball)
- ACC raid of BE (UConn, Rutgers)
- B12 raid of BE (Louisville, Cincy)
- Notre Dame joining another conference in full (ACC, B12,?)
- Notre Dame joining another conference for Olympic sports only (B12, ACC,?)
- BE backing down and taking the ESPN offer for conference rights in the next month
- The new western additions (Boise St, SDSU, etc) backing out of their agreement and now not joining the BE
- Offering full conference rights to the new football only members
- Inviting more non-football schools (Butler, Xavier, ?)
- A couple of BE basketball schools threatening to leave for the A10 (Georgetown, St Johns,etc) Maybe a 100% share of a new A10 TV deal will be more than a 20% share of a new BE all sports deal.
Probably some combination of a few of these with the way things have been going. Wonder what kind of odds you could get in Vegas on some of these happening.
