    CBS, NBC, Fox considered frontrunners for Big Ten media rights

    One: I agree the Big Ten isn't finished with western expansion. I'm sure there are secret discussions going on with any potential candidates regardless of location. The conference needs to have the schools and details nailed down before any announcements. It may be two years from now but...

    Other BIG lurkers to this site.

    I like it. I also wouldn't be shocked if we hear about other PAC teams coming aboard in the very near future. I have absolutely no inside information about that. It just seems some of the other schools won't want to be left behind.

    State Penn signs big non-conference series

    Are you talking about Arkansas in 2013??

    Big Ten, Fox close to huge TV deal

    I don't claim to be a financial whiz nor do know the fine points of the deal when Rutgers and Maryland joined the conference. With that in mind, the way I see it is when both schools joined a figure was assigned to the total value of the conference. Each school would have been required to pay...

    B1G Night Games - When do they announce the schedule?

    First, I think if the network and conference want a given game to played under the lights then it will be. The individual schools could certainly express a preference but once a decision is made they'd be expected to deal with it. Second, a November night game in New Brunswick is completely...

    Maryland hot board

    For your sake I hope you don't hire Rich Rod although the rest of the conference would love it if you did. Had he stayed at WVU and continued having success he would have become a legend there. He could have built WVU into a destination job but didn't have the dedication to do that. He's a...

    The PSU Lion "roar" and bags into stadium

    I've been attending games at Beaver Stadium since I was an undergrad in the 80s. I never liked the lion's roar over the PA and always thought it sounded like a toilet flushing. Northwestern uses a roar that sounds almost the same. Strangely enough, I don't notice it anymore and can't recall...

    Big Ten Expansion

    Thinking along that line, one of my personal favorites for Big Ten expansion is Cornell. Of course it will NEVER happen since the Cornellians would never give up the prestige of their Ivy League association. That aside, Cornell has almost everything to make the Big Ten drool. Outstanding...

    Ohio State Game Income-Rutgers Stadium or The Meadowlands ?

    My understanding of why the game is at M&T Bank Stadium is because when Maryland was still in the ACC there was an agreement for them to play Virginia Tech at M&T. After the move to the B1G they were still obligated by contract to play a game there and opted for the PSU game which will likely...

    I've been waiting such a LOOONG Time for RU to BEAT PSU

    Those two posts taken together crack me up. The first is ridiculing a PSU fan for wrongly thinking Rutgers couldn't win the game. The second is saying there is no way PSU can beat Rutgers. Apparently fans are the same everywhere.

    Pedd Supporters ripping Russo

    Did you even read the thread?? At most there were two posts which even said anything close to derogatory about Russo. Most were complimentary and predicted his offer sheet would grow considerably. To claim the thread was ripping on Russo is simply untrue. I've read much worse on this board...

    OT: Colin Cowherd: "Big Twelve Will Evaporate"

    Agree with that. Texas to the B1G would be a grand slam for the conference but it would be an awkward fit from an athletics standpoint (football aside). Baseball is a big deal at UT and due to the later playing season for the northern teams you could plan on awarding the B1G baseball...

    Hypothetical about the Big 12

    I love the hypothetical expansion threads. I'll start by saying I think if the Big 12 loses four teams then the Big 12 will cease to exist. If they did want to add teams and continue a C-USA type of existence I'd go for New Mexico, Houston, UTSA and UTEP (not listed). There will need to be...

    Penn St Hotels

    There is a similar thread on our board. Depending upon to what part of NJ you're headed, leaving via Route 322 and passing by Harrisburg is just as good as Interstate 80. If you go Route 322, there are some chain motels along the way. As of today there were rooms at the Lewistown (not...
