ND has zero reason to join the Big 10 and the Big 10 has diminishing reasons to want them. I actually disagree and don't think it's going to happen.

Wonder what Phil Knight is planning. Dude is obv a major player in the sports industry and he committed so much $ to Oregon sports. Now they’re left in the cold due to TV.
Wonder if he could take the 10 remaining PAC, dump Wsu Osu, and pick up 4 Big 12 teams he likes (let’s suppose Kan-BYU-Tech-Okie) and beg Amazon or Apple or someone to pay the tv freight. Apple obv has a vested interest keeping the Bay Area teams viable |

It’s more likely the Arizonas are the first to join the Big12, then the others have to scramble to get back to 10+ teams or also try to join another conference. |

I mean, there's literally no reason why the BIG 10 wouldn't want them and a ton of reasons why they would.

So the money is better in the BigTen. But their problem is scheduling. These super conferences are not going to be scheduling with anyone outside the conference. Those days are coming to an end. Once that gone ND doesn't have a pot to piss in. |

Forbes said KU basketball has the same value as USC football ($325 M). They just gave Riley a $100M context. |

Obviously football is driving this, but I did just read an article that USC and UCLA have some very competitive non football, non basketball programs.
But any sport that has mid week games is going to suck. If you love LA or your parents were alumni or whatever, fine. But if I was an elite non football high school athlete, I would seriously consider any Big 10 school but LA just because the travel would be such a freaking drag. Maybe if the Big 10 picks up some more west coast schools it wouldn't be as bad. |

Remember on Mad Men when Jim Hobart spent a decade buying agencies, driving mergers, and wheeling and dealing at every turn just get Don Draper to work at McCann even though he was a worn out drunk with no business value?
