Thing about that LA/ west coast market…you can say it underperforms for it’s size, but even at less than full speed it’s still a monster.
700k people live in detroit…3.9m live in LA.Last edited by Nick Pappageorgio; July 3, 2022, 12:37 PM.

For example, that 700k in Detroit pulled roughly twice the ratings of that 3.9m in LA in 2021. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.co...l-Ratings.aspx
And as I'm sure we're aware, the Lions were a 3-win team last year. The Rams won the fucking Super Bowl.
Make no mistake; some broadcaster is going to give the B1G a mint for securing the LA market. They probably shouldn't.

The more I look into this, the less we've actually heard from South Bend. That's actually... a sign that something might be happening.
The last couple of times Notre Dame was pressed on this issue, they rather quickly shut it down. As I recall, when the Big East dissolved, Notre Dame within days had put out a release saying they had no intention of joining the Big Ten and within a couple weeks revealed a deal with the ACC. So, the longer this goes without any statement from the Fighting Irish, the more it suggests to me they are either thinking really hard or already negotiating something with someone.

Major changes are happening in college football. I respect ND sticking to their guns but they're not the only ones with huge TV contracts anymore. If ND joined a conference they'd have nothing but a huge bump in money and recruiting. ND has been stuck in the mud for many years now. They need it.F#*K OHIO!!!

It is very interesting that the ND contract with NBC is coming up in a couple years and NBC is among those competing to get some Big Ten games.
Notre Dame is in a position to get most of what they might want. And if the ACC loses those 4-6 games from Notre Dame that is going to be a bit damaging to their renegotiations. I could see some ACC schools taking GoR issue to court and arguing that the loss of ND and the changing landscape of CFB nullifies the GoR deal. Not sure how much merit that would have in a courtroom2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

ND reminds me a ton of Michigan. They’re apart of college football history but they were passed by. Lou Holtz had some insane football teams but the game evolved and rarely have they been on the big stage.F#*K OHIO!!!

Things have thawed enough that Notre Dame was willing to be a part of Big Ten hockey (though that really was a "no other game in town" situation after the CCHA dissolved), and a lot could have changed even in the ten years since the Big East collapse.
We'll see.

These conferences keep getting bigger but I don't think it has made that much of a difference to the quality of college football. The schedule quality is definitely worse than it was 40 years ago. When you start talking about 20 team conferences, they kind of cease becoming a true conference when you might play some teams once every 4 years.
People like talking about it because they like playing fantasy football commissioner.

Because it has nothing to do with the quality, and everything to do with consolidating the money. Big schools do not want to share the dollars and opportunities with smaller schools, it's why the Pac-12 and ACC shot down a playoff expansion even though it would theoretically been in their best competitive interests. They would rather the entire conference collapse than give a Utah or a Boise State a legitimate title shot.

ND joining any other conference is insane IMO. It’s always been the perfect fit.F#*K OHIO!!!
