Don’t particularly care
All these schools upset that they are dependent on another university
It sucks
Why it was important for WVU not to fall into that trap

Can't answer that question. There's really what, 7 or 8 schools that are making all the money, and maybe 20 more that are in the 2nd tier? You don't have to be rich to be cool. That's WVUs thing. Should be all about what you bring to the football field. You can go back 40 years and over that time, I would guess WVU would be close to an average 30 ranking in the polls. This is where liberal media is ruining the sport. It's no longer about whether a team can consistently play winning football. Rather, it's about whether or not a 2-10 program like Kansas can bring 50 million to the table or not. ESPN can kiss my ***.

Texas has a winning record against both schools
So who really cares.
More than that Texas actually sat on the sidelines for 10 years to help the Big 12. Really no reason for that anymore

I told people on this message board. There will come a certain point where Texas has to look out for themselves.
Same thing happened at the end of the SWC.

TVs don’t matter anymore…
Remember that
Because they already have a huge TV deal with the SEC

Messed up thing is…
TCU deserved more respect than they received
They didn’t want to give it to them because they didn’t want the Big 12 to survive

The platform provided wanted Texas/OU in the B1G/SEC

I know all that. B1G made a big play years ago, specifically on Texas. Longhorn network got in the way, which ESPN orchestrated. Brilliant cock block on Fox. Nobody really understood that at the time, but I did, as well as everyone at Fox. Now they locked them into the SEC, all because of their investment into the Longhorn network. Every other big XII team didn't like it, but Oklahoma never complained too loud, because they knew they were hanging onto Texas shirt tails long term.

Best thing the B1G can do is stay idle (thanks Pratt, you prick), and allow other lower level conferences to make moves. B1G controls the big dollars, with Fox, and can sit back and bring in the biggest names (non SEC) in football. Thinking USC, Washington, UCLA, Stanford, north Carolina, and probably Georgia Tech and/or Virginia, just to make a footprint for the latter. Of course, Kansas is a sleeping giant in all of this. People make fun of their football team, but add them to the B1G or SEC and they become a giant.

Ultimately it is based on demographics…
Where people are living and where the talent is coming from.

We will see.
B1G doesn’t have something the SEC can provide.
The ability to gain academic power as well. Something that Texas learned from Stanford and Michigan. Ultimately this power is more important than athletic power.
Truthfully where a lot of these states are trying to head
You have the big states. Texas, Georgia and Florida
The middle ones Tennessee and S Carolina who have the ability plus their economies are growing
Then you have the 5 poorest states in the country who need a change.
Thing is Alabama isn’t as bad as the other 4. Alabama gets lumped in with the other two true Deep South states. Mississippi and Louisiana
But you have
Mississippi
Louisiana
Arkansas
Oklahoma
Look at the numbers they are weird. How are some states growing and their neighbors not

Ultimately your opinion is just that.....an opinion. Oh! Also irrelevant.

We can take Pittsburgh for an example

People aren’t moving there
Economy is behind the rest of the country
Doesn’t produce football talent like it once did
Very similar to almost every major city in the B1G footprint.

Hurts the Big Ten as a whole. Viewed as a dying conference.
This isn’t an opinion this is based on fact.

Where are those people in Pittsburgh moving to
Used to be California. California was where a lot of Mid-westerns ended up

Now it is becoming Florida, Georgia, S Carolina, Tennessee and Texas
Throw N Carolina in there because they are desired

Plus all those people who moved out to the West Coast previously are looking to move elsewhere
Now are living in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida

Would like to see Pitt return to being a national powerhouse. Think that happens rather quickly if the B1G does the right thing and brings them on board. Great program potential and the fans would sell out the stadium with big name programs coming to town.

Give me Pitt, WVU, and call it good with 16 teams. Lose Rutgers and add Kansas. Can't take a chance on Iowa State, since their coach will be moving to Ann Arbor.

Townes, just had a beer with breakfast. Heading over to Homer to eat Italian food in a little while, and then stop in Marshall for some Dark Horse beers. If you were here, I'd buy you lunch and all you can drink. Have to leave Fredo at home though.

WVU and Pitt to the B1G. Makes way too much sense, and then we can move Michigan State to the West.

B1G is more interested in bringing down the PAC and then waiting on the ACC and grabbing Georgia Tech, UNC and a Virginia school.

Pitt probably ends up in a new version of the Big East. More of a basketball school than football now. No NBA team in Pittsburgh.
They could actually turn themselves into a basketball power. The interest is there

Good chance that is where Duke, Syracuse and probably Boston College ends up.

Been losing people since 1971. Rebounded a little in the 90’s but back to losing people the last 20 years

Shame Morgantown just lost a ton of jobs. Almost 1500 good high paying jobs down the drain. To think over 50 years of community loyalty and goodwill means nothing at the end for Morgantown. Throw that on top of the Big12 losing all credibility is just a shame for Morgantown.

As for Pittsburgh it’s been very good financially for me. I don’t need to remind you of the life I live in Pittsburgh sir. You are not very good at this.

How exactly would you personally know what the BigTen Presidents and Admin are interested in longterm. Please provide a non talkin head clown link. You really are an insufferable narcissistic punk.

Does Greggy really think the B1G would be interested in Pitt šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜­šŸ˜…šŸ˜­šŸ¤£


WV has similar issues.
Highest percentage of population decline in the US this past decade
No one is disagreeing.

Point being made is the SEC is set up much better long terms because of demographics unlike the B1G.

B1G states for the most part aren’t gaining people and some of them are losing them.
If you want to put your head in the sand about Pittsburgh.. That is fine
City has been on a steady decline for 50 years and there isn’t any reason for it to turn around

Even you can be a somebody, Allen
Leave the drugs alone first. **** eats a hole in your brain.

Your emotional disturbance disability needs help to manage in and outside of your basement. The category of emotional disturbance in you includes schizophrenia.

No one cares Greggor/MichiganHerd
Don't worry little fellow. I'm sure your momma still loves you. Don't hide and bury your feelings because of embarrassment or shame. Others the wiser, more experienced folks like myself know that this, too, shall pass.

Hang in there little fellow.

Don't be dumb. Greg Jacobs and the King bring in lots of dough between them. I'm only a blue collar guy over 100s of people in one of the largest manufacturing companies in the midwest, headquartered out here in southwest Michigan. I have enough dough to make ends meet, but even I wouldn't want to compare paychecks with the King or tGGJ. Good money here though, and allows me to live the high life as I know it, but certainly not the life forum royalty can live. But, that's okay with me, because I was born dirt poor on a hillside in WV, so every thing now is greater than it's ever been, and for that I'm grateful.

Think B1G has its eyes on Pitt.

I have heard it all

Pitt would bring nothing to the table. You really think schools will give up their revenue for Pitt

Push delusion on this message board

You keep including Georgia Tech, even Pitt is 4 - 3 against them. They are the Marshall of the state of Georgia. Are they AAU or something? if so, that all they bring to the table.

Georgia Tech is AAU
Georgia Tech brings a huge market
Georgia Tech isn’t a threat
Georgia Tech is surrounded by talent

In the ACC they are at the top of the list for the B1G

The threat of the Big Ten with Georgia Tech is ultimately why ESPN made their decision with the ACC
Cannot have a B1G school in Atlanta
GA Tech has enough power to possibly push themselves back into the SEC if they want to

Have I ever said one time the BigTen is or would be interested in Pitt? Of course not. Actually I’ve posted the opposite several times. Penn State would never let Pitt in BigTen. Again our local racist POS, @TownesVanZandt, shown to be a liar. BTW your ā€œpoint being madeā€ is about as enlightening as a 40 year old thinking he has to show a 39 year how to pump gas. Man are you a weirdo.

This clown is so full of **** it's ridiculous. Nobody knows anything of what's going to happen. If they claim they do then they're lying.
