    If you equate being cut from the team as being “urged to leave” then for some, the answer is unequivocally “Yes”

    Northwestern building a temporary FB stadium

    Supposedly more likely to be Wrigley Field, a facility that can only be used after the hold for a potential World Series is over. soldier Field comes with its own set of problems, namely the terms of the Bears lease agreement with the Chicago Park District that have many more factors...

    Northwestern building a temporary FB stadium

    I can’t speak to the specifics of that date (IU game), but because of the late addition of Washington and Oregon, the 2024 schedule had to be redone last fall and some dates at the old soccer stadium were not available. As temporary client, the venues were not interested in burning ongoing...

    Northwestern building a temporary FB stadium

    Lost in this discussion is that the game IU will play up there in October will be a tough ticket, therefore much higher secondary market prices. (Classes will finally have begun at Northwestern and this will be the first game the student body will be able to attend). Northwestern won’t be...

    From the Rose Bowl to a dinky Soccer stadium

    Non-conference games revenues are the sole property of the home time (minus whatever guarantees/fees are contracted to the visitors). PSL (whatever the terminology is used - a seat license requiring a one-time or annual payment in order to purchase season tickets) are also 100% the purview of...

    From the Rose Bowl to a dinky Soccer stadium

    There is no gate to negotiate. Conference game revenues are pooled and redistributed. Indiana(and Northwestern) get a bump over what they contribute while the Big Three (UM, PSU, OSU) get less. To another point elsewhere in this thread…. planning was hampered by two different sets of...

    Jack Tuttle is seeking another year

    Earlier in this thread, I erroneously stated that Jack Tuttle’s application to the NCAA had been denied. I went back to try and source where I had that information, but nevertheless, he WAS approved for a 7th year and WILL be eligible to play for Michigan in 2024. I apologize for my earlier error.

    Nothing about the NC game??

    You sound surprised by his seating location. Where would you expect Jim Harbaugh’s sister’s husband to sit?

    Fixing the Opt Out Problem

    Missing from your suggestions are holding schools, bowl sponsors and television networks responsible for supplying insurance coverage for every player participating providing full coverage for catastrophic injury that has a detrimental effect on draft status (or even simple detriment to future...

    Struggling to watch Bowl Games

    After Jacksonville State and James Madison were awarded bowls, the next teams selected were based on the team APR score (Academic Progress Rate) amongst 5-7 teams.

    Hoops fan and casual follower of the football program

    This reminds me of Minnesota. Were absolutely terrible then Glen Mason got them to 7-8 wins (cupcakes and moderate conference success). They beat a bad PSU team, but could never get over the hump with Ohio State and Michigan. After a very bad bowl loss (blew a huge lead), they dumped him and...

    Never a dull moment in the B1G (Seminole Edition)

    You can say it another 100 times, but it doesn’t change the fact that excluding all others will bring a costly (and successful) anti-trust lawsuit. There’s a reason the planned 12 team playoff will include the top rated G5 team (reaping an equal share of the pie). It’s the cost of doing business.

    Cignetti all Business

    This is 100% correct. I’ve been told by someone best described as an innocent bystander that anything affiliated with Tom Allen and his culture have been (or are being) systematically scrubbed from the building and program.

    What can Indiana do better the game day experience

    Every time I attend a game in Bloomington, I wind up with the same thought. The first and last impression people have of their GameDay experience is getting in and out of the parking lot. Any time there is a crowd over 30-35k, IU has failed management of this most basic task. If you have a...

    James Franklin trying to hide a shot at Michigan by diverting to IU.

    James Franklin took a veiled shot about scheduling (canceling games and replacing with cream puffs) that was clearly referencing Michigan. When it became evident that Franklin had essentially put bulletin board material in play, several PSU folk are trying to insist that Franklin was actually...

    Fitzgerald

    Well, the two week suspension is not two games, it’s begins today (recruiting dead period, time most staffs grab vacation before camp begins next month) and is probably unpaid in terms of base salary, and not the add ons (camps, media, etc.) that probably comprise the bulk of his NU income. In...

    Indiana State on a Friday night

    Gene Smith at OSU has said that they would host a Friday game, but only the opening week of the season (Labor Day weekend). That is before classes have started (stadium parking is also used for nearby academic buildings) and a holiday weekend and they could actually handle the crush of parking...

    Indiana State on a Friday night

    If IU is cashing the media checks from the B10 office - in full - then IU is condoning the decision to move the game.

    CBS Sportswriter prediction of Football Permanent rivals

    (As echoed by earlier commenters) I feel 100% confident in saying that those who do run the conference are completely committed to running football scheduling as a TV scheduler would. I’d guess more than half of the members of the league will see more from TV revenues than they could imagine...
