I’m sure it’ll cover the costs, but Rutgers is going to have 7+ hours gate-to-gate to play either school. That’s silly for regular student athletes.For all sports?
TV sets in LA > Colorado and Utah combine.Can Colorado & Utah be far behind?
UCLA's home field, Iowa will get to play there one way or another.How will this change the Rose Bowl if at all?
69 monthsHow long does one live once they're diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver?
League of 4 teams wouldn't be much fun to watch.If the BIG keeps bringing in large market/ blue blood programs, how long before the Minn, Wisc, NW, Illinois and Iowas become less attractive or dispensable to the big programs? You know, the teams that have been playing each other for a hundred years or more.
How long are they going to want to share all the money with smaller market teams? That’s what pretty much brought down the Big12.
If you're an ACC fan I can see why you aren't happy but the ACC, B12, and P12 haven't been compelling to watch for years now. If consolidation makes the 2 conferences that people watch the most that much better its not an awful thing. And it's not just football, ucla playing Indiana/msu/purdue/michigan/Illinois/iowa in bball is a good thing tooExplain your stance. How is this good for the whole of college football?
No offense, but outside of OSU there isn’t much compelling with Big10 football.If you're an ACC fan I can see why you aren't happy but the ACC, B12, and P12 haven't been compelling to watch for years now.

And he said he disagrees that this makes cfb less enjoyable, not that it's better for it as a whole. Do you hate capitalism or something? Are you going to be upset if the ACC adds Notre Dame?
imagine leaving OU bc he was upset about OU joining the SEC without asking him, just for him to go to USC and USC joins the Big Ten without asking him.
Ya Michigan definitely wouldn't absolutely dad dick anyone from the west division.No offense, but outside of OSU there isn’t much compelling with Big10 football.
If the Pac 12 isn’t compelling, adding two teams that have combined for one Pac 12 Championship isn’t going to make the Big Ten more entertaining.If you're an ACC fan I can see why you aren't happy but the ACC, B12, and P12 haven't been compelling to watch for years now.

I have a friend who is a Trustee at Colorado. There is no political will to be good at football again.Can Colorado & Utah be far behind?
I don’t have any inside info but that’s my sense, too. Because of what happened when Barnett was there?I have a friend who is a Trustee at Colorado. There is no political will to be good at football again.
a conference with only the top 15 so called elites i don’t think ends up being as attractive (and valuable) as it might appear at first glance. b1g is more than just sum of its parts imo. the possibility of a 6-4 or 52-24 is much more valuable than we think.We're just inching closer to all of the major programs consolidating and wondering why they're splitting athletic money with schools like Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, etc.
As long as the SEC keeps winning everything I don’t think it matters if the big ten goes to 69 teams.I LOVE IT!!! FVCK THE SEC BABAY!!!!! The only constant in this world is change, and this is good change imo.
Current estimates are that the new rights deal will be worth over $100 million per year. That doesn't happen without all the schools that have helped build the brand.a conference with only the top 15 so called elites i don’t think ends up being as attractive (and valuable) as it might appear at first glance. b1g is more than just sum of its parts imo. the possibility of a 6-4 or 52-24 is much more valuable than we think.
Neither of these teams are going to change that. USC should be a strong contender, but since Pete Carroll left they haven't been the consistently top tier team. UCLA hasn't been relevant in football for decades. However, economically it puts the Big 10 in another stratosphere.As long as the SEC keeps winning everything I don’t think it matters if the big ten goes to 69 teams.
I cheat for my 401k to make money, not my favorite sports teams.
Again, change is inevitable and the SEC will not hold the mantle forever.As long as the SEC keeps winning everything I don’t think it matters if the big ten goes to 69 teams.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know what happened when Barnett was there.I don’t have any inside info but that’s my sense, too. Because of what happened when Barnett was there?
Classic PepsiI think my favorite part about this thread is that Pepsi broke the news.
It.does.not.matterIt will, but ADs will still complain about travel expenses. There are lots of TV viewers in LA but how many are college football fans let alone B1G fans?
I just looked it's cheaper to fly from cedar rapids to LA than cedar rapids to ny. So it will make little if any difference. The wrestling team isn't adding more matches will just trade out la for detroitFor all sports?
Exactly. I’d rather add USC and UCLA and survive rather than lose OSU and Michigan and be in Iowa State’s spot10 years ago this would’ve annoyed me but it’s officially kill or be killed in college athletics now and my school is part of the have’s.
Having said that, with each passing year, my interest in college football and basketball wanes just a bit more while my interest in the Olympic sports rises a bit.
I'll take sign you have no clue on athletic revenue for 200 pleaseWe're just inching closer to all of the major programs consolidating and wondering why they're splitting athletic money with schools like Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, etc.
Remember someone needs to lose and we already have a pro leagueWe're just inching closer to all of the major programs consolidating and wondering why they're splitting athletic money with schools like Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, etc.
Might as well get rid of Northwestern and Purdue, too.Get rid of Rutgers and Maryland
