I LOVE the John Hopkins add!!! If we can get their Lacrosse home games on BTN, that would be awesome! The BTN is going to thrive!!! B1G football, B1G basketball, B1G Lacrosse, B1G Volleyball, B1G Hockey, B1G Baseball, B1G women's basketball, B1G softball... Wow! I REALLY want to see more...

IMO it's much easier to turn a low to middle of the road athletic program into a yearly contender than it is to turn a low to middle of the road University into a well respected and highly ranked institution of higher learning! I think Maryland and Rutgers could turn into consistent thorns in...

I really don't see us going to 17... We take UVA (they want it if the ACC is crumbling) and UNC (an internal "battle" will end up being in favor of Big Ten over SEC)... If PSU gets pummeled by the Federal Government (unlikely but could happen)... We take Pitt. A Pennsylvania AAU school...

For how "thin" we supposedly were on special teams even because of injuries... Did he even play special teams?

This uniforms would have been TOP NOTCH if they would have had gray stripes on the sleeve. I was dreading the helmet... But I LOVE'd it!!! Pants, very similar to our current ones, but with a modern twist! I would not mind if this becomes our "standard" uniforms... As long as gray is...

I actually prefer pod re-alignment every year... Decreasing it to once every three seasons. And MOST teams would play at least every other year if the conference bumped to 9 in conference games!!!

I believe NCAA rules state that a conference championship is allowed in conferences with 12 or more teams pairing together the "division" winners.... So, within the Big Ten Conference, you need 2 divisions, but every one feels that 4 groups of teams really helps to limit long periods of teams...

Disagree... Indiana and Purdue need to go with Michigan and Michigan State in order to not make OSU's pod a complete joke! Rutgers, Northwestern and Illinois are by no means world beaters... But they are better than Indiana and Purdue, and historically OSU vs Illinois is better than OSU vs...

Best Pod setup to date - credit to Winchesterbuck on scout: East - PSU, Maryland, UVA, UNC Central - OSU, Rutgers, Illinois, Northwestern North - Michigan, MSU, Indiana, Purdue West - Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa Make every team have protected rival (OSU's would be Michigan...

NO way the B1G adds UVA, UNC AND Georgia Tech!!! I don't even see GT as truly being in play... Sure, GT would want in, but no way Delany takes them! It's just like a good HC putting the word out he may be interested in another job, just to have leverage at his own school for more money or years...

Sorry... I was referencing my previously mentioned pods. I have a unique way of understanding myself even when no one else does ;) Pods: North - Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Illinois Central - Penn State, tOSU, Indiana, Purdue East - Rutgers, Maryland, UVA, UNC West - Neraska...

Actually, I view your opinion as flawed... Even if the "4 kings" were tOSU, PSU, Michigan and Nebraska, 33.3% of the time there would be 2 kings in 1 division and 2 in the other (every time the central groups with the east). However, why no mention of Wisconsin? Since PSU has joined the B1G...

Think about the quality of schools we would get if we haul in Rutgers, Maryland, UVA and UNC.... Wow! (big question marks in UVA and especially UNC!) Not only would we lock up major TV markets... We would be locking up amazing universities!!!

With a Pod system, this minor imbalance is really no imbalance at all!!! For example: 2014: north vs central, east vs west 2015: north vs east, central vs west 2016: north vs west, east vs central So yes, the east Pod is the weakest of the pods... But any given year they still play all...

Nebraska is not slated to get a full share until 2017... http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/51064/big-ten-to-distribute-284-million-to-teams

http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/18/news-corporations-bid-for-a-stake-in-yes-would-value-channel-at-3-billion/ A good wagon to hitch our trailer too... NYC or Bust!!! When I heard "minority stake" I thought this would be a non-story... But if acquiring ANYTHING close to 49 percent...

Disagree!!! All Pods seem to be relatively balanced, minus the new entries to the league. Nebraska and Wisconsin (and Iowa at times)... Mich, Mich St, and Northwestern (Illinois at times)... tOSU and Penn State (Purdue at times). Odds are, any new members will not immediately get the full...

Yeah... But a protected crossover game with Maryland would keep them East, in an area that they heavily recruit, and if Maryland can step up, would be a GREAT regional game!

If we go to 16, do we pick up a 4 team Pod System? I hope so: Leaders: North - Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Illinois Central - Penn State, tOSU, Indiana, Purdue Legends: East - Rutgers, Maryland, UVA, UNC West - Neraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota Pods would rotate which...

http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2011/10/rutgers-louisville_tv_rating_i.html?mobRedir=false Rutgers has also been part of four of the five highest-rated football games in the New York City area on ESPN. That list is headed by Rutgers-Louisville in 2006, which drew an 8.1 rating, and...
