Around College Basketball

I understand that but the Big 10 has the LA market and apparently by looking at Oregon and Washington are satisfied with the teams they have from Cali and are more interested in markets outside of there.

Or they might take all of them. If football was a priority I can understand looking further NW, but not for media exposure

Stanford was never not happening. They are too important to the overall landscape of college athletics.

And they were always going to want a travel partner.

And Stanford is another carrot that you can dangle in front of ND.

I believe the B10 will grab one or more Florida schools (UMiami and or Florida State) if the ACC unravels.
 
Boneyard's "insider" Kansas poster, the one guy who has been saying UConn is a lock, just posted the following:

Jimbo: The guy (B12 commissioner) stepped in and saved their league, and they’re on the verge of crapping all over his vision anyway because they think they know better.

It’ll be interesting to see how long he stays.

GoKU (in reply to Jimbo): This. The presidents/chancellors screwed Yormark. Unless we go to 18 with SDSU, he's not getting that "big NY moment". Utah and ASU agreed to 25 million for first 2 years. I apologize to you all. My information ended up being wrong.



The Boneyard is defeated.

It sounds like they don’t understand posturing. Yormark sowed fear and doubt among the candidate schools and it rippled throughout all of D-1.

“Big NY moment” lol. Nobody in NY gives a crap about UConn football. In fact almost nobody in Connecticut cares about UConn football. What market they talking about? Lol.
 
Once the word got out that the Pac 12 TV "deal" was a streaming arrangement with Apple TV, you knew they were dead in the water
Any Pac 12 school with a better financial option was going to run out the door like an Olympic sprinter
We're headed toward 3 mega football conferences with, eventually, about 24 teams in each of them
 
If the ACC can somehow come out of this intact it will be a minor miracle.

You can bet Clemson, FSU and Miami have lawyers combing over the language in the GoR with a fine tooth comb just looking for any opportunity to get out of it without penalty.
 
What happens to ND? Right now I think they are OK staying Independent in football the money they get from NBC is still lucrative enough that they do not need B10 or SEC TV money. And they really want to stay Independent.

The issue may be scheduling. Notre Dame plays a lot of B10 teams and ACC teams. What if these conferences get so big that they expand their conference schedules and ND has fewer options each year and then what if the SEC, B10 and B12 dominant so much that they can dictate the new Playoff and basically FORCE ND to join a conference if they want to be eligible for the new CFB Playoff?

They have been combing through it since before this years final four.

Lol think back 10 years to the first year of the new Big East when the AAC was stronger than the Big East and the media was skeptical as to whether we'd survive as a conference. "Requiem for the Big East". Think back to 5 years ago when the ACC and Big Ten were trying to take over MSG. Compare that to now when we're one of the most successful basketball conferences, have extended our MSG lease, have top coaches despite revenue differences, have challenges set up with the other top two conferences, and have not panicked by adding deadweight schools or engaging in embarrassing "Power 6" campaigns like the AAC/Aresco did.

If you're not giving her at least partial credit for any of that, then what exactly would you give her credit for? We're a basketball conference so it's not like we can poach Duke (at least for now), but we did poach UConn which very few thought was possible. Remember, year one UConn won a national championship while in the AAC. 5 years after that the Big East (and Val) got them to flip to the AAC.

Also, if you reread my post you'll see it's not just the Pac 12 commissioner that Val has been better than. We've experienced one of them firsthand with our last commissioner Aresco. There's a case to be made that she's been the best one given how much stronger the Big East is now vs a decade ago.

Way too much credit and assumptions in behind the scenes opinion. But like Kranmars said respectful debate is fun.
