Omaha-Husker Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Did this fall through in all sports then? If so that is a bummer, Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm ok with this. I think we would be suffering from over-saturation if teams played in the reg season and played in the postseason. I'd also rather be playing the SEC,Big XII or ACC. I think the saturation argument is a bit overblown. The B1G has a single postseason tie in with the Pac-12 (the Rose Bowl duh). It has 3 with the SEC (Capitol One, Outback & Gator) & 2 with the Big 12 (Insight & Meineke). The problem with meeting SEC opponents more during the regular season is that so few of it's teams are willing to travel outside of Dixie. As for the Big 12 outside of Texas & Okie there is nobody worth playing. ACC then. Weaker conference, good cities, great recruiting states, a bunch of Big Ten alumni in those areas. We also have the BBall set up with them. And we don't play them in the postseason often if at all. Wouldn't MAC be a step up over ACC? You would be correct. But I want it for selfish reasons(ie traveling) MAC teams retread over the wonderful midwest that I already live in and visit during the Big Ten season. MAC covers Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Massachewsets Massechusets Massachushets the state north of Connectthedots, oh heck, Red Sox country Nope, no Nebraska or Iowa, sounds like good recruiting territory though Quote Link to comment
exswoo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah, this probably would've been a bigger deal for non-revenue sports than football...it's too bad that it didn't work out. I think a similar setup with ACC would be fun, but the B1G may be giving up too much leverage by treating the ACC as an equal partner Quote Link to comment
