Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Wow.
in that they would enable the big ten conference to hold one. all you need is one additional D1 level football program and you can start holding the game. that's the whole reason expansion started. i highly doubt the conference really cares WHO they add as long as they add someone so that they can make the $$$ associated with a conference championship game.

yeah you would have to be blind to not see that. Look at the revenue that the ACC, Big 12, and SEC generate for their conference games.

Other things come with a conference championship besides increased revenue. Every year the Big Ten season finishes before the other conferences and starts becoming a footnote. A borderline Big Ten BCS team can sometimes get passed in the last week or two while they sit idle.

Additionally, you now allow for the conference races to last longer as one team can't runaway with the title.

I've never seen that happen. What i have seen is Ohio St win the BigTen and set idle for a couple weeks knowing they are going to be in the NC because they dont have to worry about a conference championship game

Just happened to be watching Espn and they had Andy Katz on and some schools he mentioned that hadnt really been talked about were, Maryland, GT and Vanderbilt.

Vandy does make some sense if you consider they academic record.

seems like it's going to happen...just a question of exactly how many and who.

i guess i'd have to rank the mentioned possibilities as:

1 - pitt - already a natural rivalry with psu, good fball and bball, decent academics
2 - mizzou - reinforces illinois rivalry, pretty much all the same other criteria as pitt as well
3 - notre dame - outside of nd being nd and the way they want things to be...it just makes a lot of sense
4 - vandy - NU needs a private school rivalry. great academics, passable athletics - plus nashville market
5 - maryland - can only help crean's apparent evolving dc recruiting base
6 - rutgers - great academics, nyc market, and they wouldn't finish last in both fball and bball
7 - syracuse - i actually think this would be a huge coup for the big10 if they pull it off...disregarding geography, this could easily be the top draw
8 - uconn - this doesn't seem likely to me. but a solid second north northeast option to the 'cuse if that's the direction
9 - GT - certainly opens up a whole new geographic market. decent school and sports. but lots of things don't make sense...
10 - nebraska - what can i say, i just don't like nebraska...

is syracuse's football program any worse than IU's? i know IU has other sports that possibly redeem the fact that our football program is awful (cough soccer) but Syracuse's isn't THAT much worse..
Yes, IU's football program is worse than Syracuse's.

So, I read none of this thread, and I think that the B10 conference should not add any teams.
