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...

I think it's the UC regents making a lot of noise and threats to pressure the B1G to include Cal. That way the UC system gets more

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.

I am ready for some football

I never post but I would miss this site. Just sent $50

I know what your point is, but Braxton Bragg must not be too bad if the United States has the 82nd Airborne located at a base named after the guy. 1919 - 1939

For anyone that's interested, HBO is taking pre-orders for the DVD now. $20.00 ain't too bad and it will begin shipping in mid-October. http://store.hbo.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3190035&cp=1885675.3181901&clickid=mainnav_browse_txt&parentPage=family

I'll be with my son (wearing his Troy Smith jersey), and my wife (wearing scarlet and gray) on the South Level upper deck, section 40. They're underneath the pressbox somewhere. Not bad seats, between the 20 and 30 yd. lines. It looks like the good guys will be well represented. Hope to...

Muffler Dragon. Love the name. Welcome to the Sunshine State. I got here in '90, and though I love calling Ohio home, this is where I'm staying for the duration. Looks like we're in the same county. I live in the metropolis of Donald (Didn't mention that before 'cause even Oregonians don't...

Well, I've been following this board for years. This looks like a great place to make my first post. Born in Canton in '65, family moved me to Newark when I was 3, and I went on to play football for Licking Valley. Since then, I've lived in 15 states, served 4 years in the Navy (Gulf War...
