Per multiple reports. Not confirmed yet. Looks like a cash grab. I could see college football going to 2 mega conferences before long as in the NFL.

I've seen it posted several times now...obviously most frequently on FB, but if it's true, then we really aren't much of a midwest conference anymore. OSU and USC every fall...how much fun would that be??

They say it's a done deal. Good move by the B1G. Guaranteed, it won't stop there.

Why even have conferences anymore ? Why not just play Independent schedules, And be done with it. All anyone cares about now is that playoff Final 4, Until it expands, It needs to.

Just glad the Big Ten is one of them.
Rumor is the ACC is the next place the Big Ten will look to draw in the Southeastern US.

These are exciting times for the Big Ten I look for several more PAC 12 teams to be added as fotg alluded, the ACC is a very attractive target, to bolster both football and basketball.
One things for certain, this further delays any action on expanding the playoff system. The NCAA will sit pat, observe till the smoke clears and get a clear picture of the landscape after things are settled back down. Because, when and if the B1G eventually adopts an NFL format, they will have some form of mini-playoff, as I expect the SEC to adopt as well. For the NCAA to do anything else, would be rather unwise and premature, at this point.

I think that in the end, the NCAA will be left out of any control or influence over big time D1 college football.

STUPID to call it the Big Ten now. How about THE CCC. Anyone want to guess why CCC?

B1G will have to look the other way on their rule that you must be a member of the AAU for ND to join. Oregon and Washington are members.

Not sure it works geographically, but USC is a win for the conference. Lincoln will have them back to their glory days in a couple years.

I would think USC and UCLA would want Oregon and Washington. For the Olympic sports that’s going to be a logistical pain with their trips to Big Ten country. Also in regards to Notre Dame. Going to be hard for them without their AAU status and they signed an agreement with the ACC that they can’t join a conference until 2028

New media reports reveal the SEC is aggressively pursuing Notre Dame. The no exit contract that ND signed with the ACC is for BB only. I'm feeling the contract that binds the Irish till 2036 is a bit ridiculous, but I read on other sites that it is actually 2028. Either way, contracts can be broken through negotiation. Fact of the matter, nothing would be agained to forcefully keep a school in conference play, that doesn't want to be there....not a good thing.
If the Big Ten is considering other ACC schools, they should move quickly, as it now appears the SEC is not sitting back passively. Ok Warren, the balls in your court.

There’s a lot wrong with you posted. The ACC-Notre Dame contract has nothing to do with basketball. It was written during the Covid year that allowed ND to play football as a conference member. Who said anything about 2036? Obviously they could negotiate a buyout, but by doing that the ACC is putting their own nail in their own coffin. Finally, Kevin Warren had done nothing. This is all Gene Smith

Yes, the B1G would like to have ND but they don't NEED them. Don't know how much ND wants the B1G, time will tell but nobody's going to beg them to come.

I could see them doing a best two teams instead of west-east.

I think the BIG10 would embrace ND with open arms, but hey they can stay independent too. Bringing them in would only make the conference better. I don’t see ND becoming trash anytime soon.

The caveat is that they have to play five ACC teams annually in football. This deal goes through 2036, and during that time period, the only conference Notre Dame can join is the ACC.

I had a very interesting conversation tonight during a wedding. Gentleman from Pittsburgh indicated and it appears very plausible and a smart move by the BIG10, adding USC and UCLA, they open up the conference to the L.A. market. Now picturing the expansion of the conference, it made me think. Why on earth, would the BIG10 ever add a team like Rutger, especially for football. It after hearing this man out, it makes sense. Rutger, gets you the NYC market and $$$, just like L.A, now add in the addition of Maryland, they bring you both D.C. and Baltimore. Now this may not be lucrative $$$ for Maryland and Rutger, but the location is what’s important to focus on. The moves the BIG10 to me aren’t necessarily about just strength in the conference but also solidifying the market share and broadening the brand as well to bring in that eventual lucrative $$$. Is any conference like the BIG10 located now and eventually in the what seems near future, in so many major metropolitan areas?
Hear is also my dark horse…… Las Vegas, huge market potential and worth discussing in my book.

San Francisco (Stanford), Seattle (Washington), Atlanta (Georgia Tech), Phoenix (Arizona)

Just gives the currently members a chance to litigate if Notre Dame joins the Big Ten or SEC

I think the no jump portion is to '28, and I'm assuming ND entered in 2018, which would be a 10 year confinement clause.
