Not sure where this guy getting info, but our current acceptance rate is like 19%. Pretty easily verifiable.

Yea I think Penn State vs Tennessee excitement/attendance would be close. Penn State, however, is pretty objectively the 4th biggest “name” in the B1G (including USC as ahead of them). I think after Penn State, there’s a pretty big drop off in terms of name brand. I guess Wisconsin is next, but...

Who cares about UM we’re The U

Thank you again for the detailed reply. That all makes sense. I do think B1G would have been better off adding USC/Washington or USC/Oregon instead of USC/UCLA. Obviously USC is near ND in terms of program status, so I think they had the leverage to demand their cross town rival be added in a...

@TheOriginalCane curious, what's your take on Washington? We're not hearing a ton of interest from the B1G, at least compared to other schools. They get the second most federal funding for research in the entire country - behind only JHU. They're easily a top 6 football brand not currently in...

Same guy tweeted an SEC list “So, we have looked at FSU, Clemson, North Carolina, Miami, second tier is Duke, Virginia, VA Tech and West Virginia”

As far as revenue vs expenditure goes, I think we're talking about the same thing? The table I was sourcing "Federally financed higher education R&D expenditures" indicates federal $s spent on research by institution. Research itself is non-revenue generating, so I assume you mean dollar value...

I appreciate the detailed answer, and everything you said makes sense. However, I took a look at Federally financed R&D expenditures by institution for fiscal years 2010-2021. Source: https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23304 Table 24 I specifically looked at Rutgers and Nebraska, as these two...

Yea, I have tried looking into how the conference works together, and can't find much of anything. https://btaa.org/about/reports That's the link for the B1G Academic Alliance website, and they haven't updated their annual reports in years lol. The research expenditure $s touted on the...

I don't really understand the academic angle. Yes, as an alum I like seeing the academic standing improve, I just don't think the sports conference does anything for the academics of UM. As far as I'm aware, being in the ACC hasn't improved the school's academic standing, and the ACC is probably...

Lets exclude each of the schools you tagged as a long shot, where do you think Miami ranks on that list in terms of being a permanent opponent to ND?

I mean I definitely hope you are right lol. I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on ND rivalries, but I thought ND-Michigan was a big one of theirs, wiki lists Michigan as their 3rd biggest rival fwiw. I agree, but I worry B1G will be a sort of old boys club with Michigan getting priority...

If we both end up in B1G would love that to be a permanent game, but the conference would def prioritize ND-USC & ND-Michigan over us, and probably ND-Michigan State?

Things are different than they were 10 years ago yet you’re using 1950 as an example? I said I agreed with you that maybe they don’t care, I really have no idea if they care or not. It would certainly make sense if they didn’t care, I agree with everything you just wrote. Did you even read...

Bro Michigan State joined in 1950 lol. Safe to say when things were a little bit different back then. I’m not disagreeing with the rest of your point, that it may or may not be a requirement, but like when everyone involved in that decision is long dead it’s no longer a precedent.

I think all he talks about is expansion? So unless he called USC/UCLA (doubt it - no one knew) there’s nothing to be right or wrong about since the conference hasn’t expanded lol.

Yes I agree B1G would prefer Miami over FSU. But why should they pick one or the other, instead of trying to get both of us? That's why I was asking about the B1G picking a duo from the ACC - is there any combination of ACC schools that would be more valuable than 2/3 of Florida? We dislike...

Excluding ND, they really move to their own beat.

Haha when I posed the question I wasn't thinking about AAU. We don't know if the GOR dissolves tomorrow or 5 years from now, so I think its entirely possible some non-AAU schools become AAU in the interim. Lets completely ignore AAU for a second, and with that in mind who do you pick as a duo...

For sake of discussion, we'll say they definitely take UNC. Now, what if everyone in the ACC is still on the table, and B1G has to take two?
