Michigan to Sunbelt.

Players NORTIFIED.

Big talk about Big Ten breakup gets louder and Tony Petitti takes the blame

It's not totally crazy to think that Tony Petitti might be the worst thing that's ever happened to the Big Ten. Michigan officials certainly seem to think so. A

You never know. There was a report I read on like Monday I think. About the school’s boards pushing back on this after they were told they didn’t need to get involved with the equity deal.

I highly doubt Michigan would leave. But the upity academic types might not take to kindly to sports controlling all the money.

Seems that USC is not happy in Big....

Amid squabble on private investments, larger question arises: Is the Big Ten failing USC?

Reportedly, the Trojans' hesitation with the new Big Ten investment deal has to do with being disrespected by the conference. This is thorny

Maybe we can go to the Big XII with USC and other schools that aren't happy with their current conference arrangements! The whole system is insanity.

Someone said it on Twitter and I agree, and although there’s a 0.1% chance this happens, there are very, very few schools who could survive being an independent. Michigan is for sure one. USC probably as well.

Good for U of M (different from UM) and USC. Private equity money is not good money. And there’s 2 schools that can survive without it, and they will be coveted by any conference, or TV network as independents. They could literally but their own TV deal. U of M has the largest alumni base in the country.

The "new" PAC 12.

Michigan, ND and Ped State to the ACC!!!

 

[BishopEli]

Not gonna happen but the symmetry would be nice if we added usc, ucla and ND... go back to divisions. 2 ten team divisions, just play your 9 other teams, top in each division play for the conf title, 3 p4 OOC games, that would be a good schedule.

 

[the storm]

This is FSU and Clemson all over again. Just want more $.

 

[kanecrazed]

Apparently if it happens, ACC is taking all their sports teams except football. ACC is becoming everyone's *****.
