Nah on BC. I'd rather have Stanford, their superior academics over BC and the Bay Area market over the Boston Market. Only thing BC has over Stanford is maybe ice hockey.
BC? If possible these teams would be ahead of them on my list...
San Fran market over Boston every day and twice on Sundays. BC doesn't compare to Stanford.
Not to mention Stanford is literally the best academic university in the world (sorry Harvard and Princeton), and Stanford mops the floor with BC in the Director's Cup. Only thing BC has over Stanford is ice hockey, and if the B1G want that so bad they'll just make BC an affiliate team there like Hopkins for lax.
"Win-win." Schools get the SEC $$$. State govts find a political solution. Alumni applaud continuity and new challenges.
$$$ wins the day
I would be shocked if BC gets a big ten offer
I can see that happening
I think the best case-scenario for us is the ACC remains intact and adds Cal, Oregon, Stanford, and Washington. That would be followed by us getting thrown a lifevest by the Big 12 if the ACC does get picked apart. We have a few things going for us (major market, AAU school, well-known football brand) but the problem is we don’t bring anything that the Big Ten or SEC don’t already have (or want).
BC- Is that to give Syracuse a travel partner in the B1G?
I sort of disagree here. The league along with sec will set themselves apart from the rest of the d1 schools. All of these schools should be selecting the cream of the crop based on this. Why go to other sub leagues? We need to be spinning this to favor us over the rest of the schools
Not any more. Just ask Oklahoma State how that tradition and cohesion worked out for them. And that was before the panic set in that we have now. It's every school for itself. Period. Everything else is just nice to have if it happens to come along for the ride
All true. I feel bad for Pitt. Great profile school but adds nothing to the B1G that doesn't already exist. Hard to see it working out for Pitt and don't see a path to the big 2.
