USC/UCLA Official Members of the Big 10 in 2024!!
- Thread starter TFrazier
- Start date
Scott Dochterman estimated $10 million each program for UCLA and USC.
What would be the loss from adding Stanford, who basically media wise is on par with Northwestern?
We'll see and that may be the narrative. I definitely don't think it was the b1g. I think it was a combination of schools seeing handwriting on the wall and FOX executives telling them they're screwed on their next negotiations
They played 10 power 5 in the reg season - with an 11th in the conf championship game without a rest week
same for Michigan
Stanford I don't think moves to B1G just like Kansas wasn't ever going to be considered.
I heard from a friend hearing KU to Big East and football joining UConn as an Independent. Fwiw
I am aware of that…see post #76 and #77 in this thread. Thread title was also changed about 2 hours ago.

And Nebraska played 10 P5 teams in the regular season also , the post I was answering was the OP said he wanted 1 non conference game only and that was against a P5 , which would make 12 P5.
I don't have a problem with that. Eventually, there will be an NCAA division of elites. 30 to 60 teams. They won't allow play outside of this division. I predicted an NFL Lite over ten years ago.
Probably because they're not invited at this time. B1G likely wants to see what Notre Dame does or doesn't do before considering anybody else beyond USC and UCLA.
Ready for losing at Nebraska? Wonder how that would feel?
Damn tough Pod for Nebraska. When’s the last time we beat any of those teams head to head?
Turning into NFL junior league…is the big ten the afc or the nfc? Might as well just structure the whole thing the same as the nfl. This is dumb. This is good for the MBA’s, not the fans and the sport.
Seriously, this is about the 20th post I have seen about Big Ten academics.
Why would the Big10 want either AZ school? Neither is up to Big10 academic standards. Phoenix as a city watches pro sports. AZ has good basketball teams (which evidence indicates they payed for). Tuscon is nuts for AZ basketball. Tuscon is not Phoenix.
Oregon isn't up to the Big10 academic standards either. They also were under scrutiny for paying players pre-NIL. Even with these two strikes, it would not surprise me if they got a Nebraska exception despite our seeing how well that one worked out. I wonder how much we would have to pay Nebraska to move back to the Big12. The improvements in brand and profits might be worth it.
One news report (Norlander?) said that June 30th was the last day that a team could leave the Pac12 without financial penalties. That makes this announcement timing very interesting if the Big10 really was after additional Pac12 schools. I would have expected the first few last week, so that the others could announce by today.

I’m consistently amazed that people think this is about whether a certain area is a pro or college town. LA is not a college sports Mecca. The Big 10 is going to make a shit ton of money having the LA market even though LA could give two shits normally about college sports.
No kidding. I keep seeing "Phoenix is a pro town" or "Chicago is a pro town" that is not the issue. Because people in those markets still have games on!
Has it been said yet that Nebraska needs to start contributing a little something on the football field and basketball court, or else they might find themselves back in the corpse of the Big 12.
Hopefully our football team and mens basketball team can become something the women’s programs can be proud of….and something the Big Ten isn’t trying to dump.

So now the B1G will have to make new schedule’s after the next season and get rid of these ridiculous rivalry games set up with the other division..
Also guaranteed the conference will stay playing 9 conference games and not 8..

I can see the SEC wanting UNC, South Carolina, Clemson and Florida State. I think Miami gets left out.
It should help but how much? Right now, Nebraska isn't even recruiting California and Frost's classes so far are apparently so good that he brought in 15 transfers. If the best kids want to leave California, we will have to out recruit Georgia, Texas, Clemson, Notre Dame, etc. Maybe I'm pessimistic but I don't see this as a massive win unless we get a staff that takes advantage of it.
What is this "Nebraska exception " you talk of?
So that was not my post it was from another site...
My guess is they mean that NU was allowed in because they were so good at football but now they are bad??
AAU.
Big Ten fans, the old ones, seem to think that the IVY league is the premier conference.
still a ways to go to catch the big east, acc, big 12 and secNice try.
so, actually this move looks to have taken the B1G from a top 6 hoops conference to a top 5 hoops conference
my bad!
That's not a Nebraska problem. That's a Scott Frost problem. If Riley can recruit Calibraska then so can the current HC at DONU. This may be Frost's last year, so it may not be his problem for long.
They really need to rename the conference when the dust finally settles
Maybe, especially if they have difficult in scheduling games. Big ten could play hardball and say no more Notre Dame on the schedule. Join us or get lost.
