If the B1G really wanted them they would have taken them 12 months ago and made them full share members like USC & UCLA. They didn't. It sounds like they didn't even consider it after vetting them. Every B1G school took a pay cut to take those 2. There is only one reason to make that kind of...

I'm sure that was what most people would have said a few years ago if asked, "Will the B1G add USC, UCLA, Washington, & Oregon?" In fact the question was so out there nobody would have bothered asking it. Now here we are in that reality. The only thing that is 100% certain here is money will...

We might get that sometime very soon.

So what happens when Ohio State, Michigan, & USC come to the same conclusion that FSU has already come to? Which is they are the ones drawing the eyeballs and driving up tv revenue so they should have a larger piece of the pie than they conference peers and if they don't get it there might be...

There is reason for concern for all of the mid-tier programs in the conference. A buddy of mine caught the end of a B1G expansion discussion on XM earlier today that mentioned Iowa as an example of a school that could get pushed out or made to accept a smaller piece of the pie to stay.

I think it was a fear based move by the B1G. They didn't add Oregon & Washington because they wanted to as much as they added them because they didn't want them joining the Big 12 or SEC. If they really wanted them, they would have invited them when they brought in USC and UCLA. The Big 12 is...

But the B1G & SEC blue bloods will be stuffing their pockets with cash. And in college football is more about money than it is about winning games.

Unless Cal agrees to accept a quarter share of annual revenue for the entirety of their membership they'll never be invited to the B1G. They add nothing. Stanford's only chance of getting into the B1G is if ND makes it a condition that they are a package deal.

Their heavyweight placed 4th last year.

It's amazing how much tougher the schedules look when divisions are gone.

If this line holds I will be jumping all over the Gophers to cover at home unless they have a ton of preseason injuries. Nebraska will be tougher and better. But I think they'll try to outmuscle the Gophers and that isn't a good idea.

He's no different than many other successful coaches. His style makes him and he's not changing. As you said he's not for everyone.

When considering expansion I'm pretty sure there the B1G is only considering one thing. And schedules for teams in non-revenue sports is not it.

3-5 and 0-0

I mentioned a fact from the tweet about the amount of transfers going to and coming from P5 programs and you called me a troll. If stating facts makes me a troll then so be it.

It's tough when facts hurt your feelings.

Interesting that they lost 8 players to transferred to other P5 programs and brought in 2 players from other P5 programs.

I would say both are true. Particularly the B1G West has a lot of programs with offenses that don't typically keep opposing DCs up at night.

Yeah I should not have included regional interests. However the post I did reply to said "Minnesota" sports not Twin Cities. IMO Gopher football has the most loyal and passionate fanbase of all the sports teams here. They just don't have the shear numbers of the Vikings, Twins, & Wild.

This is a pretty bold statement. The fan base of the Gophers is driven largely by alumni while the Wild, Vikings, and Twins are state wide teams with a large casual fan base along with the fanatics. The Vikings and Twins also have fan bases in the Dakotas and Iowa simply because those states...
