MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

[Calinative]

Because Purdue is in established conference that is looking to expand, without worries of where their affiliation lies in the near future, the teams you mention are holding on to a conference on life support, and do not have a clear outline for their future.

So because they're already in the B1G... Lmao. That's my entire point. They don't bring anything to the table. They should not receive any MORE MONEY upon a renegotiation than they already do.

Are they still making more than us and the other ACC schools?

I just don’t see the Big 10 getting rid of any of its “legacy” members.
Maybe Rutgers leaves at some point, giving up on FBS altogether if it can’t get a life raft to get out of the hole.
But the Big 10 also rans are not going anywhere (Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, etc). Those schools help in the academic area and beyond that, they are needed to help prop up the 3-4 teams at the top.

The media giants dangle $XBs to SEC and B1G teams to form a super conference and I suspect several weak *** ADs gonna see Gozer the Penetrator ariving at their office .00000001 secs afterwards....

I’ve always said that I prefer the Big 10 for academics but the SEC for sports.


I just watched this the other day. First time I saw someone realign the conferences where I didn’t vomit.

All business in the front, but ready to party in the back.

Purdue is a R-1 research school (there are only 187 schools with this distinction) so they definitely bring something to the table in terms of belonging to the B1G conference.
Having a very high profile MBB also adds to their resume, although for reasons only to be argumentative you chose to ignore.

He continues to yap about football TV ratings as if that is the only factor to consider IN THE BIG TEN.

Now, that might be a more important factor in the SEC, but the Big Ten brings in a LOT of research money. In addition to football money, of course.

Purdue is going nowhere. You can't have all top end programs in a conference or super conference. What I'd like to see end and what I believe would benefit the sport is prohibiting Group of 4 teams from playing lower tier FBS teams and FCS teams.
