So the chairman of NBC sports is stepping down to become the AD at ND in 2024. I remember the narrative a few months ago was unless ND agreed to join the B10 that UW and UO were stuck in the P12 for the foreseeable future. If ND is about to pop and the new AD is a mechanism to grease the skids of the switch then maybe the two NW schools and Stanford would be the other three to bring the BIG up to 20. ND would get traditional rivals USC, Michigan, Michigan St, Purdue and Stanford in their new conference, NBC would get inventory to fill those EST prime time games in October and November that the blue bloods they thought they purchased aren’t willing to fill and the LA schools get west coast representation to mitigate east coast travel. Please allow me to Doog a bit but this seems like everyone wins.

    My thought as well. Nebraska fits a little better in the west geographically. I was curious what his reasoning was on them.

    In the last year? couple years? ND has qualified for the AAU although their research $$$ isn’t up to par with other such universities. I guess existing members of the club can vote another institution in if they check enough boxes and all 13 BIG schools voted for NDs acceptance. Another piece to the puzzle? Maybe, Maybe not but a grocer can dream.

    With Fickell at Wisconsin now that would the better division overall.

    Just swap for Illinois. Justify taking northwestern for the nerd bowl that would ensue.

    Seriously though. Stanford is such a waste of time but ND would probably ask for it in that scenario.

    Jealous

    I mean 20 years of Iowa and Wisconsin would be as old as Utah and Arizona but still
