What if u stopped feeling the need to start a thread on subjects that’s already being discussed in other threads?

Btw; I’ve never come in here to find an update. I strictly come in here to see @TheOriginalCane do this

I’m talking about this “loan” & what that has to do w/ my point that the reason Oregon & Washington were accepted in to the B1G Conference was by agreeing to receiving $200m less than the other full members over a 7 yr span.

I’m not sure what u’re referring to.

Is that 8-figure interest free loan being paid out by the B1G?

Absolutely. Lol. They won’t be eligible for full membership payout until 2031. They are losing roughly $30-40m annually compared to other B1G schools in revenue sharing b/c they joined after the TV deal. It was either that or possibly wind up like WASU & OrSt...

All I try to do is provide info.

Which is y they, too, were accepted. My point is when u have teams desperate to leave a sinking ship, it’s much easier to get in when u’re not affecting other member’s bottom lines. They were also accepted for strategic reasons, being the ACC must remain at 15 for their contract obligations w/ ESPN

It also helped w/ the B1G’s decision to accept UO & UW b/c they bent over backwards to join the conference to the tune of a 50-60% discount.

“Its football independence has never been more solid. Combining revenue from NBC and ESPN -- the latter through its scheduling partnership with the ACC -- Notre Dame is believed to making somewhere north of $60 million annually in media rights. That money, plus its unique access to the playoff...

What? Lol

Correct; forgot to add the “+” behind the 12.

I was asked my honest thoughts on if ND would move off being an Independent, & I said my thoughts are no. The new $$ structure just deepened my thoughts. If ND makes the CFP, they will be getting $12+m, while teams from the B1G & SEC will be getting $21. Between them being a lock for the CFP if...

Shocked it’s UNC & NCSt vs. UNC & Duke, but maybe it’s due to both of them being state schools while Duke is private.

I know UMASS left the MAC b/c of their b-ball program (which is the real prize). Iirc, UMASS is one of the charter members of the A-10 conference, & in 2015, talks in the MAC was they wanted UMASS to be a full member, but UMASS didn’t want to leave the A-10 so they became an Independent. Now, I...

Best guess? With ND receiving a projected $10m/yr from UA (assuming UA doesn’t renege on their deal like others), receiving approximately $50m from NBC under their new deal, & as a part time member of the ACC, receiving $17m, they’ll stay Independent. That’s $77m all to themselves; their only...

Yep. It would make sense; they are already a Big East team, & the former Big East FB is really the AAC.

UConn & ND r the only Independents left

Correct; so the storyline carried them initially, but as the season progressed & they were getting smoked, the lure of viewership waned. They were on pace to be the #1 watched program until about The Stanford game. That did them in. This year, they’re going to need to win to draw attention or...

Lol; r u really trying to compare the SEC offering an invitation to us during our hottest period when we were not only a super power, but the bad boys of CFB, to now? Lol.
