read an article the other day that IU and Purdue could one day be kicked out of the Big 10 be careful what you wish for, how in the hell will we ever compete in football, with nd ohio st michigan usc ucla oregon etc
They still need teams to beat up on. Can’t kick all the lower teams out. IU is around 8th in the conference value wise. Purdue is 13th.
Subtract Rutgers, Nebraska, and Northwestern, then add ND, along with USC and UCLA. The league would be better in all sports.
It was all sports combined. Football IU is 9th and Purdue was 11th. It’s easy to find. I’m to tired to argue. Some of the info is in the stuff that acb dude was arguing about.
I feel like the revenue IU will bring in will limit the advantages Ohio State had before. When we were grossing $5 mil and they were bringing in $15-20mil there was a decided advantage in resources back in the day just based on game day revenue (tickets, concessions, parking...etc). Those schools still have that advantage but when we are making $100mil in TV revenue alone, the $10-$15mil difference annually in game day revenue is minimized drastically.
I say all that because we can stay very close to on par with facility upgrades. The recruiting will pick up a lot of ground at the bottom of the conference because recruits will be less likely to play for a Baylor, Virginia, Iowa State, Washington State...etc., over a team like Indiana in a big boy conference. The big boys have always been recruiting great so I don't see that improving their talent pool at the level the teams like Indiana, NW, PU...etc. will. So there will be a lot more parity in the league compared to what we have been use to seeing. I say bring it on!
I want them with their equals in the MVC. IU can alternate years playing them in B'ton and Indy.
Nothn better than goin up to South Bend to watch a football game! Especially if IU were to play there! Cant wait til 2030!
I hope you are right, until we can fill a stadium, we will always be at a competitive disadvantage
Hey man, 9th in conference revenue as a whole. They move from year to year. This is a financial/value post.
That actually adds up with the Wall Street Journal article on the value of college football teams.
IU is 9th in the Big Ten and Purdue is 13th.
The guy that recognizes ND would pummel us yearly? I am that guy. Sorry for reality check
In terms of FB success, W/L %, etc. IU is I think 15th in a 14 team league. That's because we're still behind the University of Chicago from 100 years ago, and the other 13. Soon to be the other 15.
I tip my hat to IU fans. They've made the second worst program in the history of major college football more valuable than 5 programs in their own conference.
Take a bow, people. That's really impressive.
I’ve seen Purdue at 11th but IU is 8/9 consistently in value. Don’t know why but it’s what’s reported.
I like regional conferences and keeping things as is. If it were up to me, I'd jettison Rutgers, Maryland, Penn St., and Nebraska. Why it makes any sense for Rutgers to fly out to Los Angeles for a conference game is beyond me.
