Oddly, this really hasn't done anything to lower my opinion of the Orange Bowl scumbags.

And good for them. All I'm saying is that ND is not the only factor in B12 expansion. Everyone is waiting for the financials to be hammered out with the new playoff system before making official moves, which means we probably won't see any real movement until this time next year.
So, ND can agree to whatever they want... for now. But, indications are, that if the projections are correct for FSU, they will be in the B12 soon, the money per year is too significant not to. If the SEC gets their way, they'll add a couple of ACC teams as well. Another travel partner comes with FSU, maybe the B!G makes a move in the area or two, and all of a sudden there's no real ACC to partner with in the Orange Bowl. ND withdraws due to a change in the contract conditions and then they reassess if the Independent route is what they really want to stroll. Of course, that's all speculation, but it isn't beyond the realm of possibility, that's why I don't really care what ND does at this time. They want to project a position of strength, so they go ahead and make this deal. They really can't make any major moves until the NBC contract comes to term, anyway.

That's nothing new. It's been a showcase for the last 50 years. It makes a bajillion $'s for the power brokers in the universities and the NFL doesn't have to subsidize it. It's always been a perfect situation. For everybody but the players.

The players only get $100,000 worth of scholarships, the best coaching in the world, and a four-year audition for a job that pays millions of dollars per year.

I'm hearing no new news until mid August, if then.

The Clemson boards seem to think Notre Dame is ACC bound.

We're going to be making more per year than any team not in the PAC, B!G, or SEC, and in the same neighborhood as those conferences. We have a partnership deal with the SEC, that will combine the two conferences that have made the BCS Championship game more than any other. That kind of earnings potential will entice schools to want to join, but it doesn't mean we have to offer. We actually are in a position to be selective. Now, go and have fun in your junior membership.

It's weird though because apparently the deal the Big 12 signed with FOX and ESPN includes clauses that increase the payouts for ANY schools the Big 12 adds. Talk about a power position. Well done. |

Yeah that JR membership has landed them some of the top facilities in the nation, a top 25 recruiting class in football, more national exposure, and enough money to extend our football coach to keep him from going to other schools. Meanwhile KU is being used as a filling spot for the Pac 12 plane and hired a coach who was fired from his last head coaching gig. Whats the bar set at? 5 wins this year? Rock Chalk. |
