Why can’t Washington get into Maryland and Rutger’s conference?

    @Sandra6 We all know that its abundantly clear for the last 30 years that the big 10 is full of dead teams [other conferences as well] that were included during the middle ages of football league formations that would never be invited today. We all know that the day is coming where conferences will dissolve as we know them now in favor of teams that matter and teams that don't. The lawsuits on the way to dissolving the current array will be a real issue.

    The answer most likely will amount to top teams leaving existing conferences to join a new super conference that does not have those issues, leaving the existing conferences intact to avoid kicking the losers out and with no recourse to smaller team franchises that will then own 100% of nothing. TV will have to drive it because they are the ones that will pay for the superconference, and the issues of killing the existing array.

    Rutgers and Maryland were added to the Big Ten in 2014. It’s not like that were charter members in 1895 or something.

    Keep in mind that by the time Rutgers had been added to the Big Ten, they had already been rejected by the ACC in favor of every other charter member of the Big East football conference except for West Virginia (not an academic fit) and Temple. (Who was so bad the Big East kicked them out.) If the Big Ten invites an ACC reject like Rutgers but doesn’t invite us, then that means that they’ll end up preferring just about every ACC member over Washington in 2036.

    Still phrasing it like they chose them over UW. 2014 is nearly a decade ago. It was a different world and the conference was looking to expand. Was UW looking to move then or is your complaint that *we can't retroactively take Rugers' or Maryland's spot?

    They let in a couple of homeless teams to fill in #s. It isn't a relevant comparison to what's going on now

    More eyes in those markets, too, to watch Big 10 content (doesn't just have to be watching the home team).

    Will someone tell Sandra to shut the fuck up already?

    Edit... Oops. Nice screenshotting job retard. Charge your phone retard.

    Long story short...someone did so nicely in another thread.
