Huskies and Ducks too?

A sizable portion of the disparity is due to the liberal use of private aircraft by the basketball program. Football coaches are far more likely to fly commercially and then rent cars. Hoops, n’t so much.
He was the one belching out politically motivated insults. Address both sides the post insults and I will actually believe you to be Switzerland
Neither one of you could keep your ****ing mouths shut. A pox on both your houses.
But for most them it will be acceptable, like in the NFL. There won't be consensus to give some members a bigger cut than others. The simple response would be no, if you want a better deal go elsewhere and the OSU UM and PSU presidents would be embarrassed and humiliated to hear that. They will not go out on a limb for athletics. You're just not viewing this through the right lens. In the end the presidents want collegiality and consensus. Just to get to their jobs they had to be master politicians, they won't choose to die on the hill of intercollegiate athletics and the marginally more money for the intercollegiate athletics program, particularly when these schools are extremely well funded compared to other schools in the conference now.
There is SEC money and then there is B1G money. and beyond that the alternatives end. None could cut even and ND tv contract on their own. They know that. And again, the university presidents don't have this that high on their list. The downsides to pursuing what you keep saying WILL happen far outweigh the potential benefits. You keep talking like univerity athletics operate as a standalone, they do not. The ADs report to the university president/chancellor or provost. Lots of academics despise intercollegiate athletics. The athletics tail is very, very far from wagging the university dog.
This has been the case since day one. Mich and Ahia don’t keep more on the FB side and IU doesn’t keep more on the BB side.
Athletic Departments in the BIG have less leverage internally than they do in the SEC simply because of the relative importance of academics.
Do you think the USC and UCLA Presidents are viewed as collegial consensus builders by the other PAC12 Presidents? They just went elsewhere to get a better deal, something you claimed Presidents wouldn’t do. You’re trying to argue that this is the end of the evolutionary process, and I disagree. OSU, PSU and UM going to the other BiG Presidents to say they should get more since they generate more is precisely what the Presidents who are joining now have said to their colleagues. Not sure how you would deny the possibility that this will continue.
Alternatives end? No one believed what has occurred over the last few days was remotely possible, yet it happened. Alternatives never end. Just wait until the athletes want a piece of the pie.
Purposely.
Arizona is the Tucson market... Arizona State is the Phoenix market...
Don't think we need either but if you take one you probably need to take both (they're connected as rivals like we are with p u)...
You don't think there are any Arizona fans in Phoenix?
We also already have Philly covered with Penn State. But, Cal and Stanford are great schools in a big market. I think we should take them, Pitt, and either Washington or Oregon,,and then take the other when Notre Dame pulls its head out of its ass and realizes the ACC is doomed.
REPORT: Big Ten waiting on Notre Dame's decision before potential negotiations with Oregon, Washington
The Big Ten Conference's recent expansion might not be over...

Sure but the Big 10... ahh, errr, 16..., or whatever the h... it's going to be..., most likely doesn't want either AZ or AzSt...
AZ just got caught doing a really poor job of cheating (in that A] they got caught, and B] they ended up losing a lot more than they gained by doing it)... and Az St isn't any good...
If they're looking at those two they may as well go for U Conn and U Mass first..., since they're in bigger markets and would wrap up the NE with a bow on it...
I don't see any one of those four teams getting an invite though...
Then again, I Never would have thought that UCLA and USC would even consider joining the Big Ten so whata I know...
Add Oregon and Washington to have a 5 team pod with USC, UCLA, and Nebraska.
Add North Carolina and Virginia to have a 5 team pod with Penn State, Maryland, and Rutgers.
Then split up the original Big Ten into two five team pods.... Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Ohio State, and Michigan...Northwestern, Michigan State, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
Play your pod every season and then rotate through the other pods every three years.
Then play the B1G championship game as the Rose Bowl with a playoff spot on the line. Play it Christmas Eve.

Cook Hall needs to be renovated or replaced before IU does any more for football.
He cracks me up. Our pu troll here has gotten him to a new level of hysteria.
No one that understands business and follows the NCAA is surprised by any of these recent developments, nor will we be surprised by what is right around the corner. Keep your head right there and let the rest of us teach. You're welcome.
Some of this can and should be done simulatnously. Fortunatey, thanks to Fred, none of the facilities need major renos.
Take this to the BB board we are talking football here and FB has taken a back seat to BB for too long.
Cook Hall was built just about a decade ago. No reason to renovate it. If anything, ask for some money back from the architects. The thing is hideous. It was supposed to propel IU basketball to national prominence.
Eh….not so much.
They should have invested in athletic housing and smarter coaching hires. But, IU gonna do what IU does best.
Cook was designed to compliment TAH architecturally and it does that well using buttresses. The facility was state of the art at the time and still is among the best given the recent touch ups. Perhaps consult those that have actually been inside before taking cheap shots.
Kansas maybe? Or Duke? Those would be the only ones I could think of (even UK, as an SEC member, would presumably spend even more on FB recruiting than BB but not sure on that one)
I guess maybe 'Nova, given the prestige of its BB program and the fact that its FB program is FCS level.
Think pretty much everyone else allocates the greatest amount of expenditures towards their greatest potential sources of revenue--as anyone who's gone through the Kelley School might expect.
IU accommodated and accepted what we have a long, long time ago. And it has the support of most fans.
As long as the B1G 10/16/24/whatever Network $$$$ keeps flowing in, I'm sure many in the IU Admin are more than comfortable with a chronically underfunded and underachieving football program.
It got some improvements with the SSAH renovation, didn't it?
Everybody knows that, even those living in denial. There is
hope according to list of most watched games.
Most watched, IU made the list
Back in 2020 the locker room was renovated and a players’ lounge was built.
