How heavily does one need to push to get an undefeated team into the playoffs?
Where is the controversy?
Why would the committee and ESPN care whether the Big Ten screws any team(s)?

I get that people may feel a conference might want to protect the top 2 teams with bad referees. But I don't think there's any evidence that this is happening.

I'm not sure we can say that anymore - the SEC did fire that stupid cocksucker that cheated Ohio State out of the Clemson game in 2019...

They better watch their ass with Northwestern.

Purdue RBs got 122 yards at 4.6 YPC on scUM. They ruined it though by bringing up the backup QB to run in short yardage (he failed to get the 1st every time of course)

NW RB Caleb Komolafe in his last 2 games 34 carries 243 yards 7.1 YPC.

The issue here is the B1G isn't going to allow scUM to lose even if NW rises to the occasion. They desperately need that "playoffs on the line" matchup between scUM and Ohio State with how lackluster the TV ratings have been this year due to the lack of big matchups. That and they aren't letting Northwestern ruin the possibility of another B1G playoff team

Trip to Indy would also be on the line (I think...not sure of the tiebreakers now) depending on how Oregon and USC close out since a tcun win would give them the head-to-head tiebreaker over Ohio State.

I'm not quite ready to go full pedster tinfoil 'speeracy nut quite yet, but I'm not willing to rule out the depth of desire that will be present to get tcun back into the playoffs and a 4th spot for the B1G.

So if TCUN refuses to deal with this capital infusion thing...

And they get in a huff and leave the Big Ten....

Do they also get booted out of the CIC?

Interesting times ahead...

Oh yeah - FUCK TCUN

I think Ohio State opposes the private equity deal too. tcun just seems to be taking the public lead in the opposition. Not surprising since Slapshot lacks a spine.

It's been a real bad year in the TV ratings landscape for the B1G, the SEC has cleaned up meanwhile the B1G has lacked pretty much any worthy big time matchups in conference play. Id say they are probably desperate this year to eek a 4th team in and they'd absolutely screw Ohio State to accomplish it since Ohio State is in regardless.

Though scUM going to Indy and losing (likely) probably puts them out of the playoff anyway.

So TCUN is against this deal.....Meanwhile, their ugly, shitty brand is all over TV in a variety of insurance commercials. Imagine that. A bunch of fucking sellouts throwing a hissy fit about the conference selling out, too. Arrogant and hypocritical twats. Same as it ever was.
