Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[CFPBuckeye]

They are still around somewhere.

Even three of the people in this picture didn't vote for Cincinnati.

Football only? or have their other sports stopped the no play on Sunday rule?

I've never understood why the sunday thing is such a deal breaker. BYU was in conferences for decades, and they somehow made it work.

While Houston is am OK add (while Herman is there) those folks sure don't seem to care about expanding the footprint, to which I say, "fine by me."

The more I read about Texas the happier I am they're not in the Big Ten.

Good for them. It would still be another avalanche of revenue for the B1G if they added Atlanta (let alone another state) and could charge the premium per subscriber due to the conference member residing in that state.

It's like the countless misguided comments about Rutgers viewership in NYC/NJ. That is fairly irrelevant. All that matters is whether the B1G has plenty of transplanted fans in the area and whether they can bill at a high rate.

It's reflected in the town's history: The town that spurned the railroad in favor of the steamboat, thus making St. Louis and Chicago the major hubs in the nation's rail network. The home of the copperhead movement during the Civil war.

I love reading your first hand accounts of Cincinnati's history.

the symphony ... the art museum ... are as good as you will find in the Midwest outside of Chicago.

Cleveland's art museum and symphony blow away Cincinnati's and rival Chicago's.

UC belongs in the MAC.

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

Rarit!

 

[sparcboxbuck]

UC to the MAC is equally insulting to the MAC as it is to UC.

Yep. They do no good to any conference they're in.

Yep. They do no good to any conference they're in.

Maybe they should just go independent so they can fuck themselves.
