Is Notre Dame using the ESPN offer to leverage Fox and the Big10?

Jesus this isn’t a war. Y’all are getting ridiculous with the hysteria. B1G added an irrelevant school and a has been. They’ll regret introducing the liberal politics of the left coast to a conference dominated by Midwest culture.

I don’t want the SEC unique culture tarnished with non southern schools. If we expand it needs to be someone from Carolina, Florida, Virginia or Oklahoma state.

Hell I don’t even like adding liberal arse Austin, Tx to the conference. They’ll try to dictate their woke BS on us

People forget Oklahoma State. They’d be solid and have a rivalry with OU.

The SEC will still win more than it loses against the B1G.

If by fine you mean not competitive in TV money, then 12 was fine.

Yes, adding USC and UCLA makes the SEC quiver.

The SEC is in great shape as is. No, they aren't quivering. The cause for concern is that the desirable schools not in the B1G or SEC would prefer to join the B1G over the SEC. And by desirable, I mean bring in enough pro rata valuation to consider expansion.

So whenever the B1G or SEC does expand, the B1G will get first pick.

Who left would add that in the top sport college football?

Nobody football relevant is going to go to the Big Ten, and very few that are basketball relevant would consider the Big Ten either.

The SEC and the ACC have an unwritten agreement to leave each others teams alone.

The Big Ten has really jumped the shark with their new adds. A cross country conference for athletics, when their original members struggle to win, and then add two has been programs (in the big 3) in hopes that it will get better?

The Big Ten think that college sports are suddenly going to be a huge thing in the NE corridor and the LA basin with millions watching?

The SEC is laughing

It is all about TV viewership. That is how Missouri got in.
If the SEC sits by and does nothing it will be like the Womens National Soccer team. Winning all the championships but not getting paid.
Add the states of North Carolina and Virginia.

And then what? Where and when will TV money come pouring to justify the move

BTW both St Louis and KC are shitty markets for CFB viewership.
