I was trying to help you. |
But enough of all that, back to news.
http://kansas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1377426 Two sources in the Big 12 said Wednesday the possibility of Notre Dame moving its Olympic sports out of the Big East and into the Big 12 is becoming more and more likely. Speculation is growing among those sources that an announcement could come from South Bend before the end of the summer. As part of such a move, Notre Dame, which has a contract with NBC to televise its home football games through the 2015 season, would agree to play up to six football games against Big 12 competition (but most likely three or so to start with), sources tell Orangebloods.com. Notre Dame would maintain its independence in football ... for now. If the Irish ever felt compelled to join a conference in football, the Big 12 would be ready and waiting for them. The trusted relationship between Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick can not be underestimated if such a move transpires. Notre Dame's explanation to the Big East would be that the Big East is no longer the conference the Irish joined as a non-football member back in 1995, the sources said. Since the Irish joined, the Big East has seen Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College leave with Syracuse and Pittsburgh planning to join the ACC in two years. Incoming Big East members include Central Florida, San Diego State, SMU, Houston and Navy. One of ND's biggest attractions to the Big 12 is the ability to have its own Tier 3 television network, along the lines of Texas' Longhorn Network. Tier 3 inventory is whatever is left after the TV partners with Tier 1 (ABC/ESPN in the Big 12) and Tier 2 (Fox in the Big 12) rights select the football and basketball games they want to air. Tier 3 inventory typically consists of 1 or 2 football games (although DeLoss Dodds has told reporters LHN could air three Texas football games in 2012) and less than a dozen basketball games as well as Olympic sports. Sources in the Big 12 told Orangebloods.com during the league meetings that Notre Dame as a non-football member is the only expansion target that would receive universal approval from the league. While sources say Texas and Oklahoma favor the Big 12 as a 10-team league for now, there are some in the Big 12 who think a move by Notre Dame - even just its Olympic sports - into the Big 12, could cause a frenzy of interest from football powers in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Orangebloods.com reported last month that Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami and Georgia Tech all had efforts made on their behalf to gauge the interest of the Big 12 in expanding. The Big 12 indicated at its conference meetings in Kansas City in late May that it was happy at 10. And while that was the sentiment then, a potential move by Notre Dame to affiliate with the Big 12, could cause more discussion and possibly a rethinking of the league's current position about bringing in new members. Stay tuned. |

Gustafson was indeed offered by Oklahoma. But since you continue to push I just looked it up. Texas has 15 recruits so far this year. 10 of those recruits were offered by A&M. 0 recruits have chosen A&M over Texas. Damn. |

I wonder what Slive's reaction would be if a school wanted to park it's non-football teams in the SEC.

Everyone on this board has. Its no big deal. My original point had nothing to do with what UT does with the players it gets. All I know is that someone posted an article that had quotes from high school football players pimp'n the S.E.C. And then wit a little research it turns out that every single one of those players had no offer from UT. If people are going to post articles talking shit then they should epxpect to be exposed. That's all, end of story. |

Yes, UT should have more football success than they have had with what they have. Shit, they're putting 5-7 teams out there now on the regular. |

Notes Dame is not going to affiliate in football, with or without their current media deal. The games they schedule with USC, Michigan, etc aside from being big moneymakers would have to go out of conference and it would completely change their scheduling in ways that are not conducive to a program that hasn't really been a factor in college football since Lou Holtz and Dan Devine, and is trying to rebuild themselves into that. Doesn't make any sense to me. |

Alabama versus USC
or Texas versus Notre Dame Which one would get more people excited? |
Quote:
You could probably even throw Arkansas and Oregon into the conversation. (Arkansas may be a stretch) Could you really not figure this out, or are you doing some kind of Big XII defensive thing here? |

No. Those programs are level below Texas and Notre Dame. |

That Yankees-minus-wins comparison certainly works for Notre Lame as well. |
Alabama/USC would be a monster of a game. ABC would choose it for a primetime slot over Texas/Notre Dame.

"SEC on CBS" was the highest rated college football package in the country on any network for the third consecutive year.
The four highest rated games of the season were LSU/Alabama, LSU/Alabama, LSU/Georgia, and LSU/Arkansas. |
Of the top ten teams in terms of attendance, five were SEC teams, and another is aTm.

All I know is that people sampled Alabama vs LSU, let it sink in. And then went on to let it be the lowest rated Championship game......ever. |
Maybe the NC game had low ratings because Bama had it won after the first quarter.
|
The most watched non-BCS bowl was Arkansas's victory in the Cotton Bowl.

Here are some ratings:
highest one on this list? USC-Texas http://www.bcsfootball.org/news/story?id=4819384 |

Where did they air the game last year? ESPN3? |
Texas drew a whopping 3.1 share for their bowl game. Notre Dame drew a 3.8.
The rematch got a 16.2. |
