Not sure if this has been posted here, but USC is offering a free year of B1G+
Conference Realignment, Naming Rights, Financing
Kinda surprised they kept it within a 30 second clip as the previous version was normally 40 seconds.
For those on here who may have ever wondered what the song was they played in that B1G PSA:

I might one of the view that B1G as decent but nothing special. Maybe I am an immature edge lord lol.
But it has been tenner.

I stumbled upon this article a bit ago, sounds like ND might be talking with B1G, and ND is not pushing for Stanford to come with. Can anyone corroborate that ND and B1G are talking? The article also notes that Michigan, OSU, and others might want Texas A&M too, which I am open to. Thoughts?

any discussions between B1G & ND , if happening at all , will be done in strict confidence . we likely will never know until it’s a done deal . which may be never
they aren’t going to the SEC nor B12.
highly doubt the B1G has any interest in Stanford . they simply don’t add any value . ND can’t help that .
B1G would take ND , on their own , in a NY minute .
T A&M would be a valuable addition . No one knows if that talk, like the ND talk , has any serious merit .
This I know , the B1G will expand only if & when it’s a right fit in 3-4 respects , and there aren’t many schools not in the SEC that fit the bill . ND & A&M are two .
FSU maybe .
UNC also a maybe .

This post seems to use the same sources as the War Eagle article. We will see if B1G is talking with ND, eventually.
I agree with you, @Mr. Tibbs, that Texas A&M would be a valuable addition. FSU and UNC might be good adds and we would have to see who else makes sense - Kansas, UVA, Mizzou, ?

Just out of due diligence with ACC lawsuits ongoing, ND would be negligent to not be talking’s to the SEC, B1G, and Big 12.I stumbled upon this article a bit ago, sounds like ND might be talking with B1G, and ND is not pushing for Stanford to come with.

sure , but they aren’t going to be publicly acknowledging any of that .
Everything publicly is pointing to it still being a requirement. If they drop that requirement and the ACC grant of rights is removed/reduced. I would bet the BIG would try too swipe ND, FSU, TAMU, and one of Clemson or UNC.

Well technically the Nebraska route would them being apart of the AAU then after a year in the B1G they get booted from the AAU. Nebby was removed from the AAU if I remember correctly after the AAU changed how they viewed their Med school not counting anymore for the main campus since it was/is at the Omaha campus.
I'm not sure their is a real requirement to be AAU, ND just recently added AAU & it seems pretty clear that wouldn't have stopped them from joining the B1G.

I do not believe it is a requirement .
it’s simply preferred , as it confirms the institutions commitment to research .
it’s a major reason that the B1G & PAC were always closely aligned .
Bolded for a reason.....
pretty good...also makes me wonder if the B1G wouldn't be better off with A&M than having to deal with Texas. Texas is easily the bigger fish, but A&M isn't bad & seems like a lot less of a headache.
Maybe you’re right. I dunno. (As I’ve learned from this board…)One potential strike against A&M might be their mightily bizarre and cultish fan-base tho. Lol.

I tried to sign up but it they said offer has been paused. Probably too many non USC B10 fans trying to sign up.
Since I live in SoCal they should have no way of knowing I am an Illini fan.

If there was a dominant college football program for San Francisco metro B10 would be on it but Cal Berkley and Stanford don't draw enough fans.
