Conferences are so messed up already I’d like the B1G to do whatever maximizes TV revenue for us. May as well get paid,

I realize the B1G wants ND, but I don't really care what happens to them if college football breaks into 2 major conferences or if the NCAA goes away.
So our NCAA championships will be looked at as Helms Trophies?I feel like they will have items that are both on and off the listed agenda.
On the public agenda....how to work out NIL/employment issues, coming up with some structure to replace the NCAA enforcement mechanism, freeing basketball from NCAA control.....
On the unlisted agenda.....how to divide up the ACC, how to best screw over the ACC and Big 12 with the playoff structure and $s, how to best consolidate their power administratively............
Lots of great thoughts here. It will be interesting to see how much weight UFs likely opposition to adding FSU to the SEC will matter.

If they want to play in the new SEC, good luck keeping fans when they're in the middle of B1G country.
I’m not. Most boring football on the planet. Not a large fanbase either. Plus they play(ed) in the west division. Nobody watches Minnesota vs Iowa at 11am. Ugly football.Kind of shocked on how bad Iowa Tv ratings are.
Defiance will probably hurt them some.ND has made a lot of moves out of pure hatred for the BT, but I can't see them going to the SEC. Who knows, I guess, but seems very unlikely.
I think ultimately the BT will swallow some pride and offer a few scheduling concessions to try to lure them into the BT, along the lines of playing their traditional rivals of UM, USC, Purdue, MSU more frequently.....but I doubt it will be successful. They have found a way around every BT move and I expect they will do so in the future as well.
Probably more like NIT trophies.So our NCAA championships will be looked at as Helms Trophies?
I think a super conference, analogous to the NFL, is a definite possibility. Then again, the parity it brings may lead people to say what is the difference between college FB and the NFL and that might turn a fair number of fans off. Too early to say. I think there are milestones between where we are now and then. We can't be certain how much a national championship tournament will drive $$$. Also, the issue of changing the equal shares of Media Rights $$ model is a future likelihood.
Do you know the model for success in the world of sports is the NFL which elected to have equal revenue sharing many years ago because it had worked in the Big Ten.
Iowa just barely above IU and we are higher ratings than six other BIG teams. I assume this is because of the better teams on our schedule?I’m not. Most boring football on the planet. Not a large fanbase either. Plus they play(ed) in the west division. Nobody watches Minnesota vs Iowa at 11am. Ugly football.
