Plunge a stake into it. It's Dead.

Once again Delaney gets fucking played by the other conferences. I'm sorry, but this is turning into a fucking broken record. The BTN was great...visionary...but WTF has Delaney done lately except get worked like Cliff Fucking Clavin every time he tries to negotiate with the other conferences.

Pathetic.

Excuse me, never forget that Jim Delany gave us:

Legends and Leaders

Don't forget, same braintrust that tried (and is trying) to move the Ohio State-TTUN game earlier in the season...and they're not done trying.

When was the last time there was 5 13-0 teams? If you're undefeated in a major conference, you'll be in.

Go 12-1 and win the B1G CCG, and you're in.

See above. Once we hit 8 or 16 teams, now you're playing for seeding.


I loathe the idea of playing pansies because everyone else (SEC) does it. Fuck that. Play a solid schedule...do that and take care of business on the field and you're good to go.

I've been hearing today that this is Ty Willingham's, err, Notre Dame's fault.

I can see where some people might say that, but it's not fair.

Some of our B1G brethern prefer weaker schedules and have chosen to stick with their ND series, believing that a random Pac-12 team would be tougher than ND.

But that's not really ND's fault, is it?

I think ORD is right. My guess is that Delany saw this as an avenue to 'freeze out' ND from their PAC and B1G foes by constraining the non-conference schedules, thereby having even more leverage to bring them into the fold. Delany miscalculated the PAC teams (Stanford and USC) loyalty to the ND series, not to mention the Utah/BYU wild card.

Such a shame since a stronger B1G/PAC scheduling agreement had far reaching implications to strengthen both leagues.
