Would love to hear what both Frenk and Notre Dame's president have to say — off the record of course — about any B1G influence on the AAU selections.
Politics is part of darn near everything. Definitely could see the B1G offering up a little quid pro quo to the academic side to "encourage" the...

Know from experience it's 500 miles round trip from Daytona Beach to Joe Robbie Stadium (and you ain't hit "The South" along that I-95 corridor til you get to Daytona)
What if it revealed some problematic dealings by Swofford and ESPN of which the presidents were not made aware?
Just throwing **** up against the wall, but that seems like something ESPN wouldn't want out in the open because it could get messy
I' wonder if the Magnificent 7's lawyers might do a deep dive into the back-room dealings between John Swofford and ESPN in 2016 that allowed Raycom Sports to retain a significant share of the ACC's broadcast inventory (and at a favorable price?).
Swofford's son, Chad, has been a VP at Raycom...

Zero chance the 'Magnificent 7' (UM, Clemson, UNC, NCSU, UVA, VT and fsu) will sit around and accept an annual $30M to $50M shortfall compared to what SEC and B1G schools are collecting from their conference offices.

I know y’all are correct in saying the academic side should be prioritized, but … man it sure would feel good if the president said something to the effect of “we will base a decision on our future athletic conference strictly on what’s best for our athletic programs at this university.”
How great would it be if we joined the SEC and broke out that chant before, during and after every conference game — home or away — like some notorious soccer hooligans? Give those folks at Bama, LSU, UGA, Auburn etc a real reason to hate us
Not disagreeing with your premise wrt the SEC.
But how long would we be in the B1G before we got shafted just as badly by some total BS involving Mich, ND, OSU or PSU?
Money and exposure is gonna be great either way, but, yeah ... playing FSU and UF on an annual (or at least regular) basis would be the No. 1 difference maker between the SEC and B1G (imo).
Either conference will be a huge step up from where we're stuck now.
Can't wait til it happens!
