That is the stupidest thing you have said so far. And considering the competition, that was a high bar to reach.
Yeah these are horrible takes. Before USC/UCLA left the Big12 shored up their conference and was on track to make more money then the Pac12. Now that the pac12 lost USC (I personally don’t think ucla has that much value by themselves) their number is going to be even worse. No Big12 school would leave for the pac unless they have the stupidest AD/president on the planet.

Duh!
People are nuts if they think losing the biggest names is a good thing. Which games generated the most excitement from fans?
We obviously could be in a worse position like Oregon state and Washington state, but none of this is good.
I think every gets that, now it’s optimism regarding being best of the rest. In the doomsday scenario, can we be in the best position among those not BIG/SEC.

You have to wonder if one of Notre Dames considerations is: is it good for the school and athletics in the long term to have power consolidated into too few hands. Sure the money, but at what price. Notre Dame is the only program which has the luxury of thinking long term.

Not exactly sure.

So you are saying that Iowa may be leaving for the PAC 12?

Just imagine the dumbest Michigan poster on an MSU board and there you go.

That’s why you bring in The Arizonas, Utah, and Colorado. If the B1G ends up not inviting Oregon and Washington, they are **** out of luck or sign a GoR with the Big12.
The AZ schools are significantly more important and beneficial than UT or CO.

There is talk of the Iowa legislature passing a bill that said any big 10 and big 12 conference revenue that comes to the regent universities be split equally among Iowa State and Iowa. Do you support this?
What’s the rationale for that?
