Oregon State reminded me a lot of ISU though when I was in Corvallis, so I'd hate to see it happen to them. But you're right it'd probably be the better financial situation. Though if we are bringing in that many pac teams they may want to bring everyone (Washington and Oregon at least would have interest, and more west coast teams is better for travel for them)
Don't disagree with you at all there, I would have pointed out first that the NY market in no way shape or form is "covered" by the big ten.
Makes sense. I suppose it's built in that the new teams that follow USC and UCLA increase the package by a proportional dollar amount.
It doesn’t feel like to me that BIG adds only 2 schools from out west….IDK

Really wonder what the new deal is going to be with these two. Makes it seems even more likely that it is just these two schools being added unless there is some solid language in the contract about adding more schools and how it effects payouts.
Lol, as if that will happen. You know there will be something done like playing in a dome if late in the year.
Many of them may have been working this story but didn't have enough to feel comfortable going to print with it yet. But as soon as one reporter rolls with it, they may feel more comfortable sharing what they've heard as well, since it won't be just them out on the limb
Nice campus...visited there back in 2019 when daughter was doing college visits. Definite Ames vibes (but with mountains instead of grain silo's). The perception in Oregon between Oregon and Oregon State is very similar to the Iowa and Iowa State thing
Would probably be smarter to just have two sets of everything and put the other set into storage in SoCal
I see all this stuff talking about how the Big10 now has schools in the 5 biggest media markets, but that feels like old media talking and not the new media/streaming.
How does having Rutgers in New York really help the Big10 with AppleTV if no one in New York cares? Or Northwestern in Chicago?

I get the money aspect of things and trying to get as much as possible in this current environment, but at some point a super conference model will not work and it will have to be it's own league. Weird times. And I'm not convinced any of the realignment stuff has been good for the long-term health of collegiate athletics.
