The Sicatoka Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 ... the northern schools ... Then the southern folks ... You're thinking north and south. I think it's going to be more about east and west (specifically, Pacific Time Zone and not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambone Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm assuming some of you have seen this as something that is floating out there with the WAC and Big Sky merging.......comes from what Fullerton said in Dakota's post above I believe..... http://www.mwcboard....showtopic=41381 Makes for interesting discussion.

fightingsioux4life Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Everyone that is left without a viable conference home should just go and join the squeaky-clean, academics first-second-and-third Pioneer League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 University of Maryland in talks to join Big Ten Seems win-win (except for the ACC). Increased national (instead of regional) exposure of UMD, a D.C. presence for the Big Ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Include Rutgers with this, but I'm just not seeing how adding them creates enough revenue to split. Right now every team gets about $25 million. It's not like adding the two teams allows for a championship game and the money that brings. Will the TV revenue be enough? BTW buyout for Maryland is $50 million! Rutgers is $10 million with 27 month notice. And both schools are a part of AAU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Maybe the NCAA should create the conferences like the NFL. Conference shuffling will never end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Ten is looking to add TVs to their Big Ten Network. That's where the money is. Adding Maryland gets them into the Baltimore / Washington DC cable television market. That's big. Rutgers would get them into Newark / NYC. Buh-zhing! Side note: Adding Maryland? Uh, nice move there Don Lucia and Mike Eaves. More BB teams? We'll see BTHC on the BTN ... when?

I'm going to say you need to make around 100 million extra to make this worthwhile. That accounts for the newcomers each getting 25 million that rest currently get. Then add on another 3-5 million each for the rest to make them not mind expanding again. Now when there tv deals with ABC/ESPN are up in 2017...then they will get PAID for that NYC market. The B1G is still one of the highest tv ratings fb draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Well to answer my question here's some number estimates: - could be worth up to 200 million for northeast corridor. - 15 million households and IF get on basic cable it's $1.25 a house a month. I guess ACC share is looking to be about 17 million. B1G share could go up to 30-35 million if can add 100 million. And Maryland is voting on Monday.

UNDColorado Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Maryland Regents voted to move to B1G...this is going to happen. The real question now is what is the fallout from this going to look like? More simply put, who moves next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Maryland Regents voted to move to B1G...this is going to happen. The real question now is what is the fallout from this going to look like? More simply put, who moves next? The next logical move would be Rutgers would also move to the B1G Ten tomorrow. Watch a potential bolt of UCONN to the ACC in the near future, as by the day the Big East looks less attractive and the ACC will want a 14th full member. Big East might raid a lower conference/independent to replug the losses. (maybe towards BYU). Like what everyone else says, this is purely a TV Market/$$$$ move, because other than Maryland Basketball these two teams don't really bring much to the table Athletic wise. I would also not be shocked if some one made another run at the TX/OK schools again, and would also not be shocked if one of the big conferences expanded to that magical 16 team number.

dmksioux Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There are actually rumors that B1G are also going after UNC and Georgia Tech. If that's true, You may as well say good bye to the ACC. FSU and Clemson are trying to get into the SEC. It's looking more and more like the four 16 team conferences will become a reality with the four super conferences being B1G, SEC, PAC 16, and Big 12 (6). It will be interesting to see what Texas and Oklahoma do. If they stay in the Big 12, then that conference would survive. If they go to the Pac 12, then perhaps the ACC or Big East combine and survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The interesting thing is does this collapse the Big East and allow another western FBS football league to emerge (either the WAC or a new conference entirely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if the ACC may be going after the Big East members such as UConn and even possibly Georgetown. There's also rumors that SDSU may back out of the Big East which means Boise State would also. What a cluster#$&^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to ESPN, the schools that left MWC for greener pastures are trying to come back. SDSU, Boise St. and even BYU (can't believe they think they are on par with Notre Dame). If they go back do they get their exit fee money back? And how lucky for schools added to MWC to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard they've put their foot down to anymore all-sport additions. If they do split it could create a tidal wave of realignment among the mid-major leagues.

What a mess, get your popcorn ready because this show is just beginning! Seems pretty status quo for this whole conference reshuffling mess. Deny, Deny, Deny, and then the announcement to move to a new conference, or in this case, back to it's old conference, is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim sounds off on the conference changes. It's classic Boeheim at his very best: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2012/11/22/jim-boeheim-ncaa-conference-realignment/1721455/ My favorite quote: "Like I said, if these guys (the conference commissioners) were running the United States in colonial times, Brazil and Argentina would be states because they have something we need. It's a great country." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
