  1. What are you talking about? They are still “dabbling in the NIL game.”
  2. The speculation that what changed Oregon and Washington’s minds was the promise that they will get a full share in the next tv deal makes a lot of sense to me. Joining the Big Ten makes sense if they get a full share eventually, probably no matter how long it takes. This is probably the same calculus for SMU, only more so. They are willing to take nothing for as long as it takes, as long as they eventually get an equal share.
  3. Is now the time to start taking him for granted?
  4. It looks like SMU is willing to play for free.
  5. I think if they were that concerned about it, they would have given Penn State one of the big football schools as a rival.
  6. I don’t necessarily disagree with your larger point, but a lot of this was because the ACC pre-FSU joining (which is when Clemson won pre-Dabo) was hot garbage. I know beating out Maryland, NC State, and Duke for the most ACC championships is pretty exciting. Then a real football team joined in FSU and they rattled off 9 straight and 12/14 ACC championships.
  7. Some cold water on this.
  8. I’m stunned. I’m pissed. It’s Notre Dame.
  9. When did South Florida join the Big 12?
  10. Because the schools get the millions from tv deals. If you give the players a cut of those millions, I’m fine with making them pay to transfer.
  11. Houston stadium is 40k and Cincinnati's stadium is 38k.
  12. The Big Ten may not have offered them a 5-6 year ramp up and instead offered no promises of ever getting a full share. It sounds like ASU's president was able to convince the ABOR that the Pac 12 is still viable as long as Oregon/Washington stays and they are going to keep the two Arizona schools there unless Oregon/Washington leave.
  13. I just looked it up and apparently Rutgers is not getting a full share until 2027 - they joined in 2014...
  14. If this is a 5-6 year thing, you obviously take it for the life-raft. If there is no guarantee of ever getting a full share, that's a much harder decision. Competing in a conference with every other team making 30 million more than you for a long period of time is rough.
  15. Not that there was much doubt…
  16. Where have you seen that? If it's anything like the Big 12 bylaws, they would need a "supermajority of disinterested directors" - which means directors that are not trying to leave the conference. https://frankthetank.org/2022/07/22/dissolution-is-not-a-solution-to-break-a-grant-of-rights-agreement/
  17. "There is no signed document, and there doesn't need to be." In retrospect, this is hilarious.
