New York City, Baltimore Washington, and even Philadelphia. That’s what Rutgers and Maryland brought. And probably should include Penn State in that mix because Their Fanbase on the East Coast is huge.Absolutely serious. Anyone that doesn't think adding those two schools was brilliant is either stupid or clueless. It absolutely was the smartest thing that has been done to ensure the viability of this conference.
The ACC GOR is probably the only thing preventing a total spiral to super conferences right now, so depending on how you feel about that it’s either great or terrible. Like Clemson and Miami are probably cursing it right now because they want their seat in the SEC already. But schools like Wake Forest probably see it as the only thing saving them from relegation to the leftover leagues.
Does anyone think the ACC could have gotten a media deal to compete with the SEC and prevent teams from leaving if the GOR had been handled differently? Kind of seems like just delaying the inevitable.
Surprised this isn’t the runaway winner.Nebraska to the B1G.

Surprised this isn’t the runaway winner.
All Nebraska brought to the B1G was a bunch of obnoxious fans.I'm actually surprised so many Iowa fans voted for this option. Without it, Iowa football would still be viewed as Nebraska's bitch. This allowed Iowa to rewrite the script.
I think those were already in the conference. They just brought additional ones.All Nebraska brought to the B1G was a bunch of obnoxious fans.
All of the ones I’ve met have been lovely, friendly people. Have you been to a game in Lincoln?All Nebraska brought to the B1G was a bunch of obnoxious fans.
So, Iowa would be the “worst” school in the conference if not for Nebraska? You a troll bro?Today the ACC rights thing is the worst. But I think the ACC dies a slow death because of that and in the long run becomes just a major speed bump in the history of college football.
In the future, I think the Big Ten adding Nebraska moves up the list to the top since the Big Ten isn’t going anywhere. They are an anchor on the conference in so many sports and academically since they lost AAU status. Plus they’re in the smallest state in the conference by far so they aren’t bringing in their fair share of TV sets. The only thing they bring is a bunch of wins for other teams and making it so that Iowa isn’t the worst school in the conference.
Imagine if ND or Texas had decided to pull the trigger on joining the Big Ten instead of Nebraska. Either brings significantly more prestige and TV sets.
If ND joins back then I don’t think all of this conference realignment moves as fast as it has since the Nebby announcement is what set off Colorado and Mizzou moving, which set off WVU moving, which led to the demise of the Big East and other Big Ten, PAC 10, SEC, and now Big 12 expansions.
If Texas joins back then, it shows that remote schools can do well and accelerates the timeline for the USC, UCLA, Maryland, and possibly Rutgers moves. Plus then may be enough to get ND to finally jump on board.
Not a troll. I’m 80% done with my 2nd degree from Iowa, so I’m very invested. But Iowa as a university ranked at the bottom of the conference before Nebraska joined.So, Iowa would be the “worst” school in the conference if not for Nebraska? You a troll bro?
Ok, you should probably have clarified your statement was based solely on academic ranking. And I agree, it’s pretty sad.Not a troll. I’m 80% done with my 2nd degree from Iowa, so I’m very invested. But Iowa as a university ranked at the bottom of the conference before Nebraska joined.
In the US News rankings we’re tied with MSU and a bit behind Indiana and Minnesota. All of us way ahead of Nebby. The two new schools slot in way ahead of us in the rankings. Yes it is just one ranking, but we are not in the middle of the pack academically, we’re in the bottom tier of the conference. That isn’t bad though considering how good so many of the Big Ten schools are.
