Sears was Amazon before there was Amazon

Well, we all know Clown fans aren't too bright....

Why would BC and ND be a package deal. Neither of those 2 schools signed the Mandatum which means they arent affiliated with the official Catholic Church. Neother of those 2 schools have any affiliation with each other whatsoever.

The ACC

If ND wants 'em for some reason, ND gets 'em.

Not sure why you keep saying that. BC is on nobody’s list.

Please asu for selfish reasons

You may get to watch Iowa State there, but not the Hawks unless a bowl game.

Not sure why you keep saying that. BC is on nobody’s list.

If it’s on ND’s list then it’s on Warrens list.

SO, would negative Zilch, be the dreaded double negative?

That I hear makes a positive.

Compared to the projected B1G payouts, adding Colorado and ASU would reduce the payouts.

So, yes, negative value.

if you already have the big 3 markets, adding anybody would be negative in that regards

 

[littlez]

If it’s on ND’s list then it’s on Warrens list.

Nope.

Which is why the only probable B1G expansion candidate is ND, who ain't coming. No other schools are value-added. Even UNC/UVA would reduce payouts.

Lots of Presidents and ADs kissing the ring in South Bend right now. "we want in with you if you go".

SO, would negative Zilch, be the dreaded double negative?

I think it's still zero based on my math

 

[photomantric]

I think it's still zero based on my math

Agreed. Negative zilch would be -0. Then there is positive zilch which would be +0. Both come out to be zero. So, in the spirit of removing negativity from this world...could we just say that Zona and Colorado would add positive zilch to the Big Ten?

So does Stanford and Cal.

Stanford and Cal are both extremely prestigious universities - incredible academic programs, histories of Nobel prize winners, etc. Just from that perspective they would bring academic legitimacy to the conference. The SEC has nothing like this beyond Vanderbilt. It would further separate the 2 in that aspect.
