ND would love built in trips to CA and Texas for recruiting. I like playing ND, but maybe swap SMU with Pitt. (travel costs you know)

And one engine just started failing. One way or the other, we're going to have to ditch. It's just a matter of time.
HJS {l Wrote}:I don’t see why Michigan and Ohio State are going to keep feeding all those needy programs in the Big16 or how long Texas plays nice in the sandbox with schools with zero TV markets. My point is that the same dynamics that are causing the top teams in the P10 and ACC to leave will still exist in the Big 2. Eventually, wouldn’t a conference composed of only USC, OSU, Mich, PSU, Florida, Tex, Okla, Bama, UGA and ND be the way to best maximize the financial value of athletics at those schools? And, if not that, wouldn’t each of those schools demand 2x to 5x whatever payout the rest of their conference mates are making? At the end of the day, shedding ACC and B12 from the TV kitty won’t be enough to the very few programs that matter. They aren’t concerned about gaining a financial advantage over Wake. They are looking to gain a permanent financial over Tennessee and Wisconsin.
