OT: B1G additions

Tennesee yes surprised , Washington no. Udbub is a powerhouse and with the BIG news and excitement, I can see it. For TN, loss of words as I don't know a single person that watches them or has watched them. I couldn't even tell you when they play lol I do believe that SEC folks watch SEC football so the numbers are inflated. We don't watch teams in conference we don't care about but local in SEC country has all those games, helping the data. imho

UF and Clemson I don't know. I have said that the only people that care about Clemson are Clemson alum. Man that school was the safety of safety schools growing up in the middle of nowhere. Yes things have changes but in the large media markets, where is the tie in for them? That is why the BIG conference matters with it's national appeal. Just look at RU at over 1mm with more established brands. Power of the BIG and why I said when FSU is in, FSU numbers explode.
I expected UW to be in top 20, and USC to be higher
Clemson is very regionalized in regard to fandom, but this shows just how local they are

ignore him, he revels in being an ignorant antagonist. Anyone asking what does FSU bring is either stupid, myopic, blind or trying to start discourse. All the reasons to ignore
His act is tiresome, but at times, humorous

His takes however, especially in regard to Hobbs doing a good job with NIL, are some of the dumbest shit I've seen posted on here since Al claimed we would hammer USC

it's how you can tell those that know and those that don't know

as soon as you hear Clemson to the BIG you just slip away and let them breath

I was thinking more in terms of quality educational institutions. FSU is light years behind Cal on that. I realize this is a football board, but FSU seems like a better fit for the SEC.
Most schools are
Cal is a public ivy
Tremendous school

Their football is trash
Basketball is bad (Kidd was awesome though)
No idea about baseball / softball / Olympic sports

Never mind all the other non athletic / non educational headaches they bring

Rutgers is light years behind cal as well, as are 99% of universities! FSU is ranked higher at 53 than several BIG schools. All u do is show how ignorant you are.

Their football is not trash. FSU academics are trash. See how that works?

I think it’s nap time old man

Do a little bit of research on FSU’s academics

While you’re at it, Use a search engine called google to look up Cal football

Absent of that brief moment in time where “the band is on the field!!” that program has been and always will be hot trash

Listen little boy, I could physically run circles around you in any physical activity, so stop with the insults. You are a little punk twit that does not know shit, lampooning as a RU fan while sunshine pumping your shit school to join the B1G. See how that works? Done with you.

Guys on message boards with 75k posts talking shit about physical activity and academics is akin to jerking off with a cheese grater

FSU terrible in academics?
Cal relavent in football?
Hobbs doing a good job with NIL?

And I don’t know shit about sports?

Take a lap gramps - you’re embarrassing yourself to the point of no return

Oregon was just taken before Cal and Stanford. Duke is not on any serious expansion boards. While strong academics are a hallmark of the B1G, it’s not a deal breaker. FSU is good enough academically to welcome their national football program.

Tell me more about the cheese grater thing. Asking for a friend.
 
Fsu ranked higher than half the BIG. Lol. Some of you are just....

KN is stuck in the Stone Age (not joking - I honestly think he predates the Flinstones)

It’s football and everything else

If academics are the primary driver, check out the Ivy League

Football drives the bus

Money gets recruits, retains coaches and elevates programs to championship levels, which is all predicated by football

it's a great question really

let's say you get FSU and UNC which then drives ND to the table. You can really add anyone at that point so then what do you look for?

Stanford as you're right, Bay area, top academics/research, great olympic sports
MIami as it gives you two teams in Florida, growing mkt,
Clemson gives you what?
UVA gives you academics but you've got state politics with VT
Texas, can you convince them to leave SEC?

not really sure who is best that is realistic (Texas not realistic) to be honest as it's a push? Maybe Stanford is the best
They will take whoever the Fox executives tell them to take . . .
 
interesting data all the way through and RU did well!!!!!

I saw that a little while back with regards to individual school ratings but didn't post it the CFB ratings thread because it gives some skewed statistics. BTN is Nielsen rated while the SECN, PACN, ACCN aren't so they don't get dragged down by their conference network games.

I had heard that on another thread on main board. I only post because RU did well, better than most realize, and it's the BIG. I think FSU ratings go up 20% with BIG
 
Rutgers is last in Big 10 at 1.14..thats not well. Barely ahead of Cal and worse than Sarahcuse
read again

we're at 11 and only schools with 1+ were added in

you sit there and tell me you thought we'd be listed ahead much more pronounced schools and I'll call you a liar:)

Agree. Academics is a non issue for FSU. They would fit right in the middle today, and have been trending strongly upwards in recent years. Arguments otherwise sound ignorant

I posted the data, anyone suggesting FSU is not good enough academically is as you say; ignorant

Who here has ever brought up the Big Ten when it comes to academics?

It's the weirdest flex.

If Alabama (170 in US news rankings) or LSU (185 in US News) wanted out of the SEC the Big Ten would welcome them in a heartbeat.

All this posturing about academics went out the window when the Big Ten added Oregon over f'in Stanford and Cal.

Bring on the Seminoles.
