The new Twin Cities

I seem to recall Claeys’ final interview after being fired… it occurred on the field just as his final game had ended, as he and the Gopher football team were headed to the locker room. He had 3 words to say, as his parting shot, on a miserable, cold Saturday. He said, “enjoy the weather.”...

The condition for accepting his buyout was no lawsuit by either party. Ben is not stupid. He took the buyout and ran.

Richard's biggest lesson learned during his tenure at the "U" was to make sure he filled the gas tank prior to returning the rental car, while on those recruiting trips :banghead:

In your earlier post, you used the term ‘if’ as a hypothetical… in terms of each B1G team making $100 million in 2030. I responded to your hypothetical. No matter the year - or the total dollar figure - the B1G and their media partners have determined ND and FSU will bring in much more money...

Yes

I’ll forward your feedback to the lawyers involved in the negotiations ;)

Both will be gone from the ACC shortly… it’s just a matter of where they land. UNC has more leverage.

The B1G has looked out west…. at Arizona, but not ASU… the two Bay Area teams (neither moves the dial much at all alone, and certainly not together)… Utah, Colorado, and Kansas. As mentioned earlier, the B1G appears ‘done’ looking out west, and are now trying to finalize ND and FSU. We’ll...

If only Larry Ellison had directed a fraction of one of his billions to his Alma mater

You could be correct, but I am hearing that the B1G is finished expanding out west

You make a good point, although I anticipate we will see the CFP ground rules change, as soon as this coming year. Who gets in? Who doesn’t? How many teams? Who gets a bye? Should there be any byes? Etc.

Maryland, a charter member of the ACC at its founding in the 1950’s, paid between $25 and 33,000,000 to leave the ACC!! And they accepted a greatly reduced payout over a period of a number of years in order to join the B1G. WOW… what a statement (indictment?!) on the ACC. Not sure what the...

Very interesting article. Iowa basketball player Caitlin Clark made more NIL money her senior year than the entire Gophers football roster made this past year?!!

This is temporary… all are on a path to a full share… and deservedly so.

Would you still take any/all of the schools you mentioned above if it meant that the Gophers - and every other B1G institution - would receive a smaller annual payout? Because that is what would happen

The argument you are making regarding FSU… is the same argument you could be making about that little, Catholic college in a small northern Indiana town… how could the B1G possible be enhanced… and every Conference school wealthier… with ND and FSU… than without?? The B1G and its media...

The days of Notre Dame making this kind of money as an ‘independent’ will soon be over, and they know it. The good news is they will be able to make more in the B1G

I never said I was “so hot to get FSU in the B1G” … I said look for an announcement later this year… that Notre Dame and FSU will become the B1G’s newest members. If my info is not accurate, then I will come back and admit I had it wrong. Why are ND and FSU slated to be the next two...

These kinds of questions will eventually face much more scrutiny…
