Name calling only weakens your already non-existent argument. Academics was, at best, an extremely minor issue. Mizzou couldn’t and wouldn’t deliver new eyeballs, which is why they weren’t even considered for membership. Reviewing Delany’s track record, as you’ve been repeatedly shown, is conclusive evidence of this. You look Foolish trying to refute this, and it’s obvious you don’t understand how this process has worked for some time. Just stop.
You don't seem to get it. The NCAA is a dead man walking, thanks to NIL. So that means in the future it will be up to the big conferences to manage the national championship. The SEC is already aligning itself as the the de facto championship conference. If the Big Ten doesn't defend that by adding more championship caliber teams, forget about Ohio St and Michigan hanging around.
No you don’t get it! National championship?? I want Purdue to get to 6-6.. we have a conference right now that’s plenty strong enough. I’d rather add schools like kansas instead of fsu IF we don’t lose a power team.
i really liked the last round of expansion. In Nebraska you get a name that’s past it’s prime, and you see Purdue’s record there. In Rutgers and Maryland you get a ton of new eyeballs following programs that Purdue can stay ahead if Purdue is on their game
Where did I say national championship for Purdue? I didn't...
The lie that programs like OSU are selling to programs like Purdue is that we are all in this together as equals in this pursuit for the treasure. That what is good for them is also good for the rest of us. But when it comes down to it, the big dogs in the conference will always be two steps ahead, no matter how much trickles down. And the more big dogs you let in the less that trickles down parlays into success for those nearer to the bottom. We can sit and watch replays on our huge jumbo tron, enjoy the LED lights, take pride in the new multi-million dollar facilities (that are amazing yet just barely good enough to keep pace for a few years), and watch helplessly as the talent gap continues to widen - thanks new transfer rules and NIL.
Yes. A Big 10 without USC or FSU would be utterly destitute because we aren't keeping up with the SEC Joneses. I wonder if we could even afford to keep the lights on.

I'm responding to your comment about Ohio St. And who the hell is going to pay in a conference without Ohio St or Michigan? No one.Yes. A Big 10 without USC or FSU would be utterly destitute because we aren't keeping up with the SEC Joneses. I wonder if we could even afford to keep the lights on.
And we can look down on the Big12, but I'd take a long look at a peer school like ISU, who has been to a bowl game 4 straight seasons and just recently played in a P5 championship game. That sounds like a lot of fun to me.Yes. A Big 10 without USC would be destitute because we aren't keeping up with the SEC Joneses. I wonder if we could even afford to keep the lights on.
Exactly.. more people should play chess … pat thinks we are gonna be counting one eyed willys treasure.. but Ohio state is the fratellis …
That you’d even put it in the post shows that your mind isn’t on “how does Purdue get a better deal for Purdue
Again with the hyperbole and false dichotomy. No it doesn't "suck" to upset OSU or ND. But over the long haul we lose a lot more to those teams than we win. The cost for adding more teams like them to our schedule outweighs the benefit. But maybe you are a fan that doesn't sit through the losses or mind turning the page to basketball in October.
The B1G needs to add the best football schools it can, or the SEC will skim the cream (Ohio State, Michigan, etc) off the B1G, and turn into the English Premier League of college football, while the remaining B1G schools will be relegated to second division.
I’m adding the best they can we become the doormat. Wanna watch a 4-8 Purdue team in a good season?
Again.. not having FSU and other mega powers added to our league doesn’t make us the big 12.
If the B1G doesn’t add the best football programs it can, then the SEC will come for OSU, Michigan, etc.
cry me a river.
It already works reasonably well at the conference level.
If that’s what all the super powers want to do, it can’t be stopped anyway. lol you think the big ten adding FSU stops that? All three could just go
You’ve either not followed the Bit 10 over the past couple of decades, you’re unfamiliar with Jim Delany and his track record, or you’re simply being obtuse but, either way, your ignorance is on display for all to see. For you to admit that you didn’t realize that the spread of the BTN beyond its original footprint is and was the primary objective is surprising, at the very least. If you really don’t understand how this works and how it has worked for some time and you’re not interested in learning about it, why are you here?
40-50% cut.. hmm... probably more like 15-20%. And that is worst-case scenario with OSU and UM leaving. Also, the Big Ten payout is nearly $20M more than the ACC payout, yet somehow their programs get by.
You're still refusing to answer the question.
If OSU and UM left, it would have to be over a 30% cut per team. But I hope we don’t find out.
And make us a guaranteed laughing stock.. OSU and Michigan don’t want to be held down by schools like us anyway.
If they’re going they’re going regardless dude … if they have their way, you think they think Purdue should be with them or that we are a minor league program?
What takes?
If they are leaving they are leaving .. and I’d rather be good in a conference without the big dogs than be a joke because I think I’m gonna sit there and count the treasure with Ohio state. You go ahead and root for a 3-9 Purdue where Ohio state feels content staying with the ugly girl .. I’m good on that
I don’t think about you. You think about dudes on message boards? I have no thoughts on any of you other than your takes. Come to think of it, I can’t remember any of your takes either …
I’m not even interested in that if they stay. Would only be a matter of time before laughing stock Purdue got left on the outside looking In
