Penn State Exploring other Conference Options

Lol you managed to subtly get a "it's Trump's fault" in there at the end. Well done.
Nebraska would get steamrolled in the SEC. They can't compete in the B1G west division. Nobody is going to jump conferences. Frost is just beating his chest to look tough.
Watching AD Smith’s interview with Revsine on BTN. Completely understand his disappointment along with all the schools in the B1G. Smith is clear that OSU’s focus is to get ready for the Spring and time to circle the wagons. I didn’t like Moss and Frost’s released statement.
Coaches like Frost, Franklin, and Day don't speak for their Universities. That responsibility falls to the presidents/chancellors. They control the situation and that's final.
Your posting a tweet from some University of Texas clown. His opinion is meaningless. And what’s he going to say if the Big 12 decides to cancel somewhere along the line. As for recruiting, follow the money and the Big 10 Conference will be fine
"sorry, when well respected national media is reporting that conference cancellation is all but done - and teams jumping ship (at least for 1 season) is well underway, hiding your head in the sand ain't a winning approach who is hiding"- -I'm saying the speculation about PSU ,etc is all bullcrap-- some of you guys just waste time speculating based on nothing concrete or real"
What happens in a few weeks when the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 shutdown? Do recruits jumping ship from the B1G to the SEC/ACC/Big 12 move onto another league such as MWC or C-USA? If that kid said that to the coach, then he wasn't serious about them in the first place.
Based on AD Smith’s interview on BTN I’d be shocked if they explored alternative options for Fall. His focus is for OSU to prepare for Spring games
Fans and posters on sites like this react emotionally to the situation. Schools in the B1G are calculating in every move, and so are other conferences like the SEC, ACC, and Big 12. Don't think for a minute they aren't reviewing the current situation and how it will impact them. Those remaining P5 conferences are holding out because they don't want to leave money on the table while others (Pac 12 and B1G) possibly cash in on the season. Now that the B1G and Pac 12 have folded, I fully expect other P5 schools to cancel their seasons because the worse that will happen now is to be in the same boat as all P5 conferences financially.
You know he is a clown? Why do you say that? He is not stating an opinion. He is relating a conversation he had with a B1G coach he has known for a lot of years. But nice try in trying to spin something that was not expressed as an opinion.
On that, I agree with you. Wonder if Ryan Day feels differently. Does he have more power than the AD?
Only replying to your garbage posting of a tweet from someone that has no relation to Rutgers or the Conference
It took one P5 conference to be the first.
The others will follow the B1G's lead.

Can anyone really deny that A lack of cohesive federal response has Caused football to be where it is- when our national Results are compared to countries that now allow crowds but were shut down earlier?
is everything really that politicized that anything that could could be viewed to negatively impact one man causes people to have a knee-jerk reaction -even when we’re staring in the face of no football because things couldn’t get under control?
Wow, really wrong....lol
Pedd State once again showing their lack of integrity. Not surprising at all.
LOL You think the NCAA is interested in something other than money.
Really wrong, really? Let it play out as far as PSU. ESPN is still reporting the ACC medical head is good with football in the fall.
I may be off on this but would schools like PSU and OSU leave such a prestigious Research Conference like the B1G purely for athletic(1 year) purposes?
Seems to be very short sighted
Seems to be very short sighted
Penn St AD Barbour comments were supportive of the conference's decision. All 14 schools will abide by the decision; nobody is going rogue.
Ummm....here is why this stuff is RIDIC
In case any of you forgot ...FOX owns 51% of the big ten network. And the network is worth around a $1.5 billion ?.
you think fox is going to let penn state and Nebraska to go to the big 12...which, by the way, has a lot of their sports broadcast by...FOX?!?!?
think guys!!!
now ...let’s me smart about what really could happen....couple of years down the line
so assuming we don’t have a unionized college athletic world and a year from now College sports is somewhat the same
Everyone is about to lose a bundle...so what’s the going to do? The programs Not in the SEC, big 10, and pac12 that add value to These conferences will be back on the block to find a better financial deal To help make it up
realignment could very well heat up again soon once we get back to playing ....
Texas, Oklahoma ...keep an eye on them ....

@Southern Gentleman And of course my SEC allegiance would be entirely directed your way. :-)

Word is that Penn State is seeking a conference with more like minded institutions. As a result, they may get paired with the Boston Archdiocese or the Boy Scouts of America.
You may be right but I hope schools do go rogue.
Decision albeit maybe the right decision was ill advised given the timing and not doing it unified as a sport. Buy time and wait a few weeks on a decision.
My guess is this is BS to stop guys from transferring. Maybe they are that stupid to leave the BIG but I doubt it.
If any or all of these teams leave, so much these institutions claiming to be in the B1G for academic and research purposes. And by the way, shame them if they try to sell out for a HOPE at playing in the fall.
Hey look who's adding nothing but unverified Twitter garbage to the thread!! Again!
At least you were the first to report this total fake news drivel. Pat yourself on the back.
