I get it but it completely changes their ethos which centers around being a group of academic research institutions which neither FSU or Clemson qualify as. They gain money and football prestige while lowering their academic prestige significantly.

Nebraska is ranked #151 in National Universities, Iowa #83, and Penn State #77, tied with Clemson.So the Big 10 is ready to put academics and research aside now to accept Clemson and FSU football? That seems a bit hard to believe that the presidents of the Big 10 will value football over losing some academic prestige.
That is pure BS.Why is Miami pushing for independence being mentioned? Is that really a position to be in? The coffers must be overflowing if that’s a real choice other than joining the P2 conferences

I was just being passive aggressive towards those who thought it was impossible.What he is saying that once those 4 announce it is "ova" for the conference. Either ESPN says "no mas" or the remaining schools vote to dissolve, but either way, without those 4 programs, the EXISTING ESPN deal doesn't work for ESPN or the schools remaining.
Are those US News school rankings? They may be ranked as such but still be strong research institutions.Nebraska is ranked #151 in National Universities, Iowa #83, and Penn State #77, tied with Clemson.
None of that matters.I get it but it completely changes their ethos which centers around being a group of academic research institutions which neither FSU or Clemson qualify as. They gain money and football prestige while lowering their academic prestige significantly.
Yes but the idea that FSU isn't a B10 take because of "academics" isn't valid, and Clemson is also ranked much higher than some B10 programs and while not AAU accredited, is working to INCREASE research investments ... supposedly the most recent fiscal year budget is $300 million, a huge increase.Are those US News school rankings? They may be ranked as such but still be strong research institutions.
That would suck if all 4 of them ended up in the SEC. Smart to try to force the SEC and ESPN’s hand though.Regardless of "actual truth" (still to be established), this explains how the FSU-Clemson-North Carolina stuff started up.
Beware of agendas. That's how a lot of these fake rumors are created.

FSU is the most vocal. Lol That’s it. It was Rad and Miami that moved the needle but whatever. It’s irrelevant at the end of the day.from Pete Thamel today
