'97 Nebraska? The coaches poll? Lol.
Michigan was the real (AP) national champion in '97.
TheBis 12 north champ was selected natty by 13 of the 20 NCAA selectors. The victors over the mountain west got 6.Michigan was the AP national champion that year. Just a fact.
How many votes did the Big 10 West get that year?Michigan was the AP national champion that year. Just a fact.
Lol, Michigan was voted #1 and the national champion in the AP poll.TheBis 12 north champ was selected natty by 13 of the 20 NCAA selectors. The victors over the mountain west got 6.
The B1G West didn't exist in 1997.How many votes did the Big 10 West get that year?
Agree and disagree about the B12 north. Near the end it was like the B10 west and would get smacked by the south in the championship.
Hot take but I think if ISU, Baylor, and Kansas were where they are now as far as program strength and investment, the old B12 is still together. There was so much dead weight in those days including ISU. If there were some solid middle/upper mid tier schools in the mix I don’t think folks would have jumped
They barely existed in 2017The B1G West didn't exist in 1997.
Yeah, Texas didn't need more money either.Couple reasons starting from the fact that Michigan has more money then just about anyone else so they don’t need it and more importantly Michigan wouldn’t want to do anything that helps OSU which this would.
Oh way way more than that. I believe they were usually sold to a business or donor for $1 then donated locally.So how many tickets did Nebraska have to give away four years ago to keep their “sellout string“ alive. Wasn’t it 5,000?
Correct, they just wanted out of the big12, Michigan doesn’t want out of the big tenYeah, Texas didn't need more money either.
UT destroyed the SWC and they tried to take down the B12, let the SEC have them. Their arrogance knows no bounds, they think every discussion must revolve around them. The B12 was sorry to see OU leave, but not UT. Screw them.Correct, they just wanted out of the big12, Michigan doesn’t want out of the big ten
Still, 4/12 teams in the conference were big names, which stacks with the B10. What we didn’t have was a solid middle. Just my opinion but I think that would have gone a long ways. Can’t imagine ISU/KU/BU contributed much to the pot, compared to what they bring nowThey still don't have the 'name'.
Texas was flat bad for most of the 2010s and early 2020s but still got to head to the bank (SEC).
Heck Nebraska got to move despite not being nationally relevant for a decade.
So if Georgia Ohio state Texas and Bama started a super league and asked Michigan to join, you are positive that Michigan would say no? They would be crazy to say no.Correct, they just wanted out of the big12, Michigan doesn’t want out of the big ten
Correct because a super league isn’t happeningSo if Georgia Ohio state Texas and Bama started a super league and asked Michigan to join, you are positive that Michigan would say no? They would be crazy to say no.
Too many egos to take losses. they need cupcakes to prop records.Correct because a super league isn’t happening
It’s also a classic format on this thread to throw something completely off the current topic. Legit talking about unequal review sharing and then just get hit with a “so they won’t join a super league if x,y, and z happen?”. It’s just so out of left field for the comments up until that point.Too many egos to take losses. they need cupcakes to prop records.
Why would anyone put anchovies on a burger?It’s also a classic format on this thread to throw something completely off the current topic.

It’s like people talking about the best pizza toppings and then someone comes in and goes “ugh anchovies are disgusting on a burger I would never want to eat that”. Umm ok, that’s fine and while yes we were talking about toppings but no one mentioned a burger anywhere…
The question was are you positive Michigan favors Big 10 over money.Correct because a super league isn’t happening
