Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[FCollinsBuckeye]

The alliance is 3 conferences signaling that they have a voting bloc. That's it. There's nothing else to see here.

I heard the alliance won't use blocing sleds though.

The alliance isn't about scheduling, nil, or anything else. The alliance is 3 conferences signaling that they have a voting bloc. That's it. There's nothing else to see here.

Yes, it’s primarily about a voting bloc. But I think it was also about scheduling, and further conference destruction, in light of the haphazard scheduling of 2020 and conference expansionpalooza 2021.

The B1G conceded a ceasefire on poaching anymore ACC teams for moar marketable content.

The ACC conceded Notre Dame won’t be forced into an ACC schedule for the next 14 years and can keep their traditional B1G and Pac12 rivals.

The Pac12 conceded that massively declining HS football participation in California is eroding their talent base, and they want some prime time games in the Midwest, Atlantic Coast, and Southeast that don’t kickoff at either 9:00am PST or 11:00pm EDT.

Hire a Vegas showman as your commissioner, get big time games in Vegas.


Greg Sankey is morphing into Turbo Troll before our eyes and I'm here for it.

Indeed. Who can keep their eyes off Kentucky v. Vandy or South Carolina v. Mississippi State.... and that's to say nothing about chickenshit Saturday where we feast on the likes of Alabama v. Northern Mississippi School of Knitting and Auburn v. the Citadel. Compelling is the precise word, for sure.

"Turbo Troll" or maker of weak straw man arguments?

I really like this post

I mean, sure, I agree with it and all

But the main reason is, after seeing the word “loose” typed when someone meant “lose” exactly 735,243 times on this board, I have now finally seen someone type “lose” when they meant “loose”.

Stop being a soar looser.

Stop being a soar looser.

Soar.
Looser.

So compelling, the price of admission to three of these games is less than the cost of a fucking value meal at McDonalds.

Not sure I agree with some of the picks for universities as Marvel heroes.

Lost it at UNC as The Falcon. Missed an opportunity to use Boston College as the Eagles!
Syracuse as Spiderman is outrageous. Groot as IU!

A+++ for the Wasp as GT.


Never rooted for Thanos harder in my life.

Well, the important part was scUM was laying down next to a fire burning in a trashcan.

Clearly shifted the typography. They meant scUM was the burning trashcan
