Yup. The downside is that the team could’ve lost 1-2 more games and missed the big ten tournament That downside certainly doesn’t exist if we keep the coach 😂

Washington being pointed as the example of how bad things could get if we fire Johnson is pretty comedic Washington 13-17 Minnesota 15-15 Washington beat Minnesota So the downside is losing 2-3 more games next year? Next year is going to be worse for Johnson too

I generally agree with take He has lower highs but higher lows

We don’t have talent, we under perform compared to our talent but we have done such a great job of eroding any sense of expectations the national media thinks we overachieved

I will be shocked if he isn’t fired If Johnson is brought back ill be surprised if the program averages 4000 fans a game (actually in attendance) next year Likely won’t have Wisconsin at home to bolster the number 3 million buyout is only 157k per regular season game. 4k fewer fans at 40 bucks...

Those teams will be in the conference by 2030 anyways

Once there are auto bids by conference then overall record doesn’t matter anymore They are doing it once this happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if the big ten goes to 11 or 10 game conference schedule. The TV money will be so large that 6 home games vs 7 won’t hurt that bad. Someone from...

From 1971-1982 it was the best years of gopher hoops in the history of the program also won 3 national titles in hockey. I think you can make a good argument that football didn’t get the support but it wasn’t like all sports were a disaster

No idea on the money comparison but the Vikings were so new and the nfl not what it was. There was a greater than zero chance the Vikings didn’t last more than 10-15 years in the market. Obviously they they did

I don’t think Stanford or cal add anything in terms of market reach or they’d already be added The time to add them is for inventory of games, not market I don’t think there is anyone left who is big enough addition to add as an individual or a pair short of notre dame (or stealing a major...

But this is also evidence how terrible net is Winning at a team that is borderline not going to make the big ten tourney is a quad 1 win

I think that in an expanded conference scheduling groups will exist but I also don’t think they’ll die on the hill of balance 9-3 penn state can go to a playoff. So they can play teams X and Y every year 9-3 UsC can go to a playoff so they can play teams X and Y every year If that makes sense

Not in what I just drew up but I’m sure you could make groups of 6 in a way to preserve all rivalries Michigan Minnesota Ohio state Michigan State Wisconsin Iowa That’s a gauntlet every year though

The problem is growing the pie per team by more than a new slice Without expanding the conference schedule above 9, no way Moving the conference schedule to 10, 11, or 12 Possibly

24, 28, 30, 32 are the logical numbers 19-23 are dumb 25-27 is dumb 29 is dumb 31 is dumb Candidates Notre dame Texas A&M Missouri North Carolina Virginia Florida state Georgia Tech Colorado Arizona state or Arizona Utah Clemson Kansas Someone else from Texas Second tier Tulane...

It’s a no brainer except those 16 5a schools would hate it If you kept them separated in the playoffs but joined them for 48 in the regular season it should be good for everyone People forget that Eden prairie playing Hopkins isn’t just bad for the Hopkins kids…it’s also bad for the EP kids

Really easy to make it 10 games Play 5 in your pool and 5/6 from another pool The only downside is it opens up the possibility of 3+ unbeatens + it takes longer than 6 years to play everyone home and home. Takes 9 years. There are a ton of permutations of that possibility currently so it...

Clemson, FSU, Georgia tech, Virginia, North Carolina, Notre dame 24 in big ten. 4 scheduling pools of 6. Play your 5 in your pool plus an entire other pool These are not divisions it’s just a scheduling model. 11 game conference schedule + one buy game or home and home Auto bids so...

First time with 3 losing seasons in a row since the late 50s and only the second time in school history Warmath’s last year He won a national title But at that point he had the only two streaks of 3 consecutive losing seasons in a row in school history. 1971 Meanwhile the Vikings had their...

Would be interesting to see a list of the last drafted QB for every FBS and every P5 team
