Selling the echo of an old brand name with a diluted, degraded product is the whole game here.
The current leadership is to college athletics what all these vulture hedge funds are to the grand old newspapers in this country.
This whole conference realignment thing has gotten stupid, including the B1G having west coast teams.
But sheesh, am I glad U of I is in the B1G.

Courts will offer a degree of latitude in the interpretation and enforcement of contracts when unexpected circumstances arise that the parties entering the contract didn't know and couldn't have bargained for.
This is EXACTLY the situation these parties expected and bargained for and is EXACTLY why they entered into this agreement in the first place. EVERYONE foresaw this precise scenario at the moment pen went to paper.
What a lawsuit does offer is a forum to publicly get mad and complain. It's an expensive forum, but it's a public service that's there for the rich and angry.
ND: Our independence 'more valuable than ever'
Notre Dame atheltic director Pete Bevacqua told ESPN on Thursday that his school's independent status in football is "more valuable than ever."

of course ND's new AD Pete Bevaqua is going to say thatND: Our independence 'more valuable than ever'
Notre Dame atheltic director Pete Bevacqua told ESPN on Thursday that his school's independent status in football is "more valuable than ever."
whenever I see that name, I think of Tommy LaSorda
A reporter asked Lasorda about Bevacqua’s accusation that the pitch was intentional. His answer, courtesy of the San Diego Union-Tribune, was more vintage Lasorda.
“I’ll tell you what I think about it. I think that is very, very bad for that man to make an accusation like that. That is terrible,” he started. “I have never, ever, since I managed, ever told a pitcher to throw at anybody, nor will I ever. And if I ever did, I certainly wouldn’t make him throw at a (expletive) .130 hitter like Lefebvre or (expletive) Bevacqua, who couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a (expletive) boat.
“And I guaran-(expletive)-tee you this. When I pitched and I was going to pitch against a (expletive) team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I sent a (expletive) limousine to get the (expletive) to make sure he was in the (expletive) lineup because I kicked that (expletive’s) (expletive) any day of the week. He’s an (expletive) (expletive) big mouth, I’ll tell you that.”
ND has played these conference realignment and CFP changes super well. Might argue that ND being independent is about the only thing that is still left from old school college football. Father Jenkins and Swarbrick had a cool seat at every prominent table in the process and directed things to benefit ND accordingly. Impressive leadership and guidance, in a swirling sea of change.ND: Our independence 'more valuable than ever'

April Fool's aside, I'd be open to FSU joining the B1G one day but Clemson is more of an SEC school to me. B1G should be looking at Notre Dame, FSU, UNC, UVA, and Stanford (feels weird) from the ACC before Clemson, IMO. I wouldn't be against giving Kansas, Colorado, and Utah from B12 a look too.
If B1G goes to 24x - crazy I know - I would look toward Stanford and Colorado/Utah out west, ND in midwest, and FSU, UNC, and UVA in the east.

D-II Mercyhurst University will make the move to D-I and join the NEC this fall: https://www.mercyhurst.edu/news/mercyhurst-university-marks-new-era-athletics-move-division-I
The school, located in Erie, PA, has been D-I in men's and women's ice hockey, but has been D-II for all other sports this point. This also gives the NEC the 9th school they were desperately needing with Merrimack and Sacred Heart heading to the MAAC.

Exactly. The P5 schools would never be relegated under this system.
