B1G deal: Big Ten lands $7 billion, NFL-style TV contracts

[BrewingFrog]

It could very well be that ADJD was in Chicago at the invitation of the B1G to make the case for TCU being invited in. They brought in Cali teams, why not Texas?

Of course, he was probably up there to take in a Cubs game.

If they are not done expanding, that doesn't necessarily mean they are going after other PAC teams. They could target teams from any of the other conferences (SEC withstanding).

Specifically, teams in big markets within fertile recruiting grounds...

Big dreams

Yes, so let’s narrow that down to—has any P5 team announced a departure from a P5 conference during a season? Of course, there could always be a leak during a season which forces an announcement.

Week 3 in 2011, Rutgers and Maryland announce move to the Big Ten, Louisville and Pitt announce move to the ACC.

Syracuse and Pitt-BC before them announced leaving the Big East in September

The regents are not trying to block UCLA.

understand it is an an attempt to force the big 10-18 to take another cal school, but if the two schools moving east were usc and oregon this wouldn't even merit attention

Maybe he had a hankerin' to have his Chicago all-beef hot dog "drug through the garden." Something you don't see in Fort Worth.

Fort Worth is not known for it's selection of tritium-enhanced green-glowing pickle relish...

This is perfection.

For all the B$G's financial advantages, which they have had forever, their play on the field has remained very mediocre excepting a few teams.

Interesting that Warren is talking openly about this stuff right after finishing the TV contract stuff. Seems like he might be preparing the ground for something. Difficult to see how the Pac 12 pursues its own TV rights talks in the climate this kind of comment is producing.

This is the kind of rhetoric you hear when the power has been turned on. Seven billion does that for you. This the moment that the B10 has been waiting for and the SEC will be watching.

Note that Warren was responding to Gumbel’s questions and said he “could” see paying players and expanding to 20. He wants to be part of this conversation. Brett McMurphy’s tweet is misleading. Angelique Chengelis is with The Detroit News newspaper.

Good catch. McMurphy's tweet was all I'd seen on this; it is, indeed, misleading.

I actually think that's where we end up. Mark it down.

It would be a nice surprise, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
