You're right guys; there's something different about these Bucks

"The B1G operates on a different level than any league. It’s a partnership. The Academic Alliance is $11B/year." If you include USC and UCLA you're looking at $15,658,000,000 research dollars. You add Wash, Stan, Cal, Ore, and ND, you're at $19.5B.
The B1G is going for it all. NBC and CBS are...
This is pure speculation on my part so take it in that respect. The B1G just expanded coast to coast, marginalized ESPN to the SE US, and has 3 out of the 4 networks broadcasting its games. My gut tells me the BIG's endgame is not to be an equal with the SEC.
The B1G wants to be the premier conference in the country in all ways (athletics, academics, ratings, etc). It doesn't get there with Miami, FSU, or even BC. I believe this will go the way its pretty much being reported.
I don't think Cal has any leverage, except maybe some AAU dollars. But even if they can get Cal in with a partial share, it's worth it to the Regents to make some noise.
The thing I've wondered all along is what deal did we make with USC to join. From the evidence I've seen, USC started the...
NBC has a lot of reasons for not wanting ND in the B1G. If ND stays independent, in a few years if NBC wants out, they still have ND.
If ND joins the B1G, NBC has nothing if they opt out of coverage.
I'm seeing that as well, but the fixation has been on the Seattle and Portland TV markets. With better weekly matchups, you increase the viewership in other markets.
If the Patriots are playing the Bucs, the nation watches. If Oregon is playing the Bucks, the nation will watch. It's the NFL...
In my view, this is why you bring in Oregon and Washington. If you're a national brand, you bring in schools that increase national viewership. The nation would tune in to see Oregon play tOSU, or USC, or even ichigan and Penn State
NBC is pitching a fall Saturday football schedule that includes triple-header coverage of Big Ten games on Fox, CBS, and NBC from early afternoon to night.
The slate would be followed by NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” the most-watched show in prime time for a record 11 straight years.
"This...
"NBC has already pushed the idea of combining Big Ten telecasts with its existing Notre Dame coverage as a “perfect one-two punch.” "
Sure sounds like they want to keep ND independent
I don't want NBC anywhere near the B1G. What they're proposing is the same as what Notre Dame wanted from the Big12. Gives NBC the revenue to pay ND its $75M and let them stay independent while using the B1G as it's prostitute. No way is this good for the B1G.
I would recommend going to a fee based site. I'm thinking $60.00/yr, or $10.00/month. There are many users that only come by for the season. I would like to pay a yearly fee.
