When you're 20 traveling is fun. When you're 80 it sucks. That is the disconnect.

I agree with you. I think he's with ESPN and they are linked to the SEC.

Be honest, though. Was it hard to balance all that traveling with academic success? Keep in mind that most of the players will not be playing pro ball after they graduate

@@turkishdelight6032 To offset some of those challenges, it is common to take a lighter schedule during the season and possibly take an extra semester to graduate. In Hawaii, an extra year was covered for scholarship players, and I am sure that is the case at these powerhouse programs.

Cardale Jones said it best, these boys didn't come here to play school 😂

Already in the Big Ten in Hockey. Might as well bring the rest.

That’s way too much work. This isn’t a 30 team league. You gotta schedule 12 games for 130 plus teams. Do the math.

Who's "CFB"? Do you mean the NCAA?

Bad example. Bama is one of the few teams who always schedules a good out of conference opponent to start the season. Opening week is trash if you are a big ten fan.

They already do this. Hush.

@@godogs89 don’t make me laugh

USC v. UCLA in the Rose Bowl? 🤦‍♂️😤🤢🤮 and I’m not a blue hair either. 42yr old male who loves innovation and lol when I hear how the 50’s were the “good ole days” but I don’t like this. I also don’t know how it can be ironed out.

It won't in 3 years

They make $15m per season from NBC on football alone. For $100m lol I’m signing up

they hate the BIG-10 though, id doubt that’ll happen

@@GoatedAtNFS Do they really if they schedule Big10 teams every year.

Exactly! They already have a rivalry with Michigan & USC.

@@rh81454 EXACTLY LOL!

What teams do you think the acc will will try to add

@@bigzclipz5104 The big-name team that the ACC wants is Notre Dame. If they can get ND, then they’ve got a legitimate roster. My guess for the next team would have to be West Virginia-who’s a decent program and has history with some of the former Big East teams. Oregon or Washington are potential options as well, but I think that’s less likely.

I don’t think the ACC will get ND and there aren’t four other teams that they can get that will move the needle. I’m with Paul on this one.

@@ulyseejames6797 Worst-case scenario, the ACC settles for teams like UConn, Memphis, USF, and Liberty-all of which are not great, but all they need is the numbers. Not every team has to be Alabama or USC or ND to move the needle-you just need the numbers to keep making money. And before somebody says “those teams are worthless”, think about Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Missouri, and Indiana. Feasibly in football, they are in the bottom quartile of teams, but that doesn’t matter. They still have fan bases that make the conference money even if they suck.

@@bigzclipz5104 they had their chance at cincinnati years ago and chose Pitt instead for God knows why

that rose bowl stadium just lost money

Last time Oregon visited Michigan...... Dennis Dixon lit ya'll up. Got smashed in the mouth....

And "autzen stadium is where good teams go to die" Lloyd Carr.

@@billyyank5807 Oregon can’t handle big ten just look what happened when they traveled to MSU in 2015 they lost

@@alexnowicki286 Both Michigan and MSU went out to Oregon and lost so it goes both ways

Gainesville to Norman is a pretty long trip also.

@@Al-Rudigor Nobody is riding a bus so travel isn't a factor.

@@vw8886 I agree with that. I was just saying that the SEC also has long distance travel.

@@Al-Rudigor Yes. I was backing up your statement.

@@Al-Rudigor Florida and Oklahoma will not likely be in the same pod and so won't have to play each other every season. In the case of USC and UCLA though it doesn't matter who is in their pod because they will have to travel all the way across the country no matter what.

With USC and UCLA it could be $120 now

@@alexnowicki286 no doubt that, since the LA market is huge. It puts the big ten in the drivers seat as far as their fanbase reach and market size, stretching literally coast to coast. The B1G is the first mega-conference with this deal.

But are they on TV every were in the country every weekend? ND is, they can request for more money through NBC.

@@geraldwilson5925 thank you for saying something that makes sense hahaha they will surely go to NBC and ask for more money and schedule more big games.

And they are sitting prettier today. ND’s endowment is $19,000,000.00 and they have an enrollment of less than 15,000 undergrads. Compare that math and there’s not a CFB program sitting anywhere near the beauty of the Irish.

The problem is the sec won't travel to another teams stadium. They don't leave the south.

And Washington and Colorado.

That’s the NFL minor league there

U can’t leave out Louisville and Georgia Tech. And what if this doesn’t happen for another 10 years and somebody small like Jackson State under Coach Prime has gone crazy

@@tifftiff4952 like it or not that is where we are headed.

@@voiceofreason2674 Georgia Tech is an AAU member, but lacks relevance and significant fan support to be attractive to the Big Ten or SEC. Louisville is interesting and likely provides a bigger upside to the SEC than West Virginia. I think Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh need to show sustained success to be considered. Syracuse and Arizona State needs to work on their AAU applications.

@@william7286 AAU is run by bigger hypocrites than the NCAA they should not be considered

More likely FSU goes to the B1G than the SEC, especially with Florida there. If the SEC wanted a second Florida team, UCF is an option, though I'm not sure it gives them a program any better long term than any of the other SEC bottom-dwellers. Then again, maybe the B1G would rather have the Orlando market than Tallahassee.

UCF going to the big 12 in the 2023

@@205impala That’s true but that can always change in the future.

The B1G isn't adding those southern schools. Membership AAU (Association of American Universities) is a requirement. The money in research grants DWARFS football. This is BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars. Oregon, Washington, Utah, Stanford, California, and UNC are all members. IMO these are the main targets. Oregon and Washington have ALREADY applied for membership. So that leaves 2 slots and I just don't think the B1G is interested in ND as they frankly, don't bring much to the table that the conference doesn't already have. They aren't AAU members. ND isn't expanding your TV share of the Chicago market in any meaningful way. Outside of geography and football competitiveness, they really don't bring anything of great value to the table. They had a chance and said no back a few years. If ND is interested, the B1G will likely listen but the B1G has ALL the leverage here and won't even look ND's way, ND is going to have to come to them, hat in hand. They are too arrogant to do that.

@@robschaller9061 with USC and UCLA joining the big ten was looking straight at ND with a smile basically saying don’t get left behind, you’re right big ten isn’t going after ND now, ND is going to have to go to the Big ten and the first few years they are gonna let ND have it for not joining years ago

If ND goes to the B1G (especially since both Oregon and Washington have now applied to be admitted as B1G members), both the PAC 12 and ACC are essentially toast as leagues. The B1G would likely target both Duke and North Carolina from the ACC, along with FSU and Miami. That leaves one spot open to make the B1G 24 teams. I'd expect the B1G to then target one more PAC 12 team (Stanford?) to get to 24. This leaves the remainder of the PAC 12 available to join the BIG 12, and the rest of the ACC to go to the SEC, leaving you with a Power 3.

@@richarddexter7641 It's not that easy. The SEC is experiencing problems scheduling the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, let alone 4 or 6 more teams. Oregon and Washington were turned down. The Big 10 already discussed adding them and chose to go with just 2 USC and UCLA. If I were the Big 12 or the ACC and wanted to keep pace with adding 2 teams like the SEC and Big 10, I'd look at a maybe adding Oregon and Washington , or 2 other teams of their liking. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

@@davidsolomon7966 there is no proof that the big ten shot down Oregon, the big ten is eyeing Oregon and ashington right now though which it looks like they will get those two teams

@@alexnowicki286 I just read where the Big 10 has informed both Washington and Oregon that for now they're not adding anymore teams until ND makes a decision.

Bro do you even keep up with recruiting 😭

ND is on fire ever since they cut the dead weight of Brian kelly and I'm no ND fan

Their recruiting is actually really good. Look it up

Notre Dame hasn't won a championship since '88 because they are one of the few D1 programs that have in place stringent academic restrictions and standards. Lets face it, many, many D1 college athletes that attend P5 public universities are not smarter than a 5th grader, but are extremely talented and can play football at the highest of levels. Notre Dame hurts itself by gearing their recruiting to players who excel in academics and athletics. Former coach Brian Kelly has gone on record saying, ""If they want to come here just to hang their hat to play football and go to the NFL, we passed on some pretty good players, because I don't want guys to come here and not finish their degree." That's why you rarely see programs like Stanford, Duke, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Vanderbilt who are affiliated with a Power 5 conference rarely make noise in football. The schools that are 'football factories' that have less demanding academics and admission standards are the ones that make noise. Notre Dame can from time to time because of their brand, but they will no longer consistently do so unless they change their academic expectations on their football players.

What about Hawaii?

how?

Ah yes, thats why NBC has an exclusive tv partnership with them, because they have no fans or following.

Ah...a typical Ohio State fan

🤣your right about that
