Maybe Changing Of The Guard In Big 10 Leadership?

He also bombed the '20 season into near oblivion.
I think the contract was going to be big regardless. Perhaps credit for the Pac 12 teams, but that was also more a response to the SEC poaching first than anything else.
Probably get stuck with another Buckeye related figurehead.

Covid is now two years behind us. The world and the B1G went on.
Getting USC and UCLA was HUGE for the league...and of course it was in response to the SECs OU and Texas additions.
My early prediction to replace Warren would be Jim Phillips, current ACC Commissioner and former AD at Northwestern. Highly regarded guy who understands the B11G landscape incredibly well.
Still on Warren.
We wanted USC. UCLA was a tag along that had to come.
I have no clue about picking a commissioner; I didn't know who Warren was when he replaced Smith.
Next guy needs to put us on the same scheduling as the SEC. November cupcakes are better than +1 conference games.
Warren replaced Jim Delaney. Who is Smith?
Jim Phillips of the ACC has Notre Dame currently as a quasi-member and bringing him in might increase the odds of eventually getting Notre Dame to follow to the B1G. Notre Dame is who the B11G wants.
Wrong:
Big 10 playing to Notre Dame first and foremeost by showing all love and attention to them right now in attempt to woo them. They are prize jewel #1.
In time, both Oregon and Washington will join the B1G and maybe even Stanford.
I think you get ND. ACC is a dumpster fire, and will get worse if they lose Clemson.
I would think (100% guess) that B10 wants 1-2 more west coast teams for scheduling and television marketshare.
It will be interesting to see how long ND holds out to be an independent. But, I think they soon end up in B10 in next expansion. SEC probably picks up Clemson and North Carolina. (I think SEC would like to be in the Carolina market.) Miami doesn't bring anything to table that we don't already have. Frankly, Clemson doesn't bring another television market. Plus, they have a weak fanbase.
Interesting times, and will get more interesting. I still think B10 and SEC form a super alliance and pull away from NCAA. I think they'll have to do this to deal with NIL. (I know that just opened up another can of worms ; -)
I'm thinking of the Buckeyes AD.
I don't think ND is concerned with a commissioner. They have their own TV deal. They have the ACC as a crutch for scheduling. They are the holdup. Until the playoff writes them out, they have no reason to move.
In 2035 maybe. Not anytime soon unless somebody figures out how to break the rights agreement.
Unless someone can find an out, ACC teams are off the table until 35. By that time it may be too late for them. BIG10 looks to be adding PAC12 teams, SEC will go after more BIG12 teams, while ACC has their media rights delighted to the ACC conference.
If ACC can't break that contract, they will end up a mid major conference, imo. Think we end up with 2 super conferences, 24-28 teams each.
Don't think they were in the original contract to begin with, and we're smart enough not to join in. One idea someone came up with was to dissolve the ACC. Not smart enough if that would legally break the contract and release the media rights thougg.
I contend Notre Dame was VERY SMART not to get locked into the ACC.
I could see the ACC dissolving one day and as suggested before, ultimately there will be two Super Conferences-- the Big 10 and SEC.
The ACC will fall apart before too much longer, clemson and florida state will both go to the sec, notre dame and another couple of west coast schools will fill out the big ten, the other schools will be left to either group together or fend for themselves. more than likely big12 and acc join up together, by way of eliminating some schools from both sides and forming another new conference
The new 12 team playoff locks ND in as independent. They are virtually guaranteed a spot with a 10+ win yr. Probably a hosting game as 5-8 rank. They have zero reason to join B1g. Sankey did that as part of structuring CFB playoff.
Don't see how the ACC can survive under current conditions. Their fans are concerned, and only about half the conference would have anything to offer to make them attractive enough to extent an offer to.
Unless ESPN vacated the contract, the ACC isn't going anywhere until 2035 at the earliest. Nobody is paying the ACC to have their teams. ESPN isn't giving up all of that cheap programming from now until 2036. (In comparison to the latest deals)
ESPN owns bowl games just for programming. The ACC isn't going anywhere until the deal is up.
ND will make a deal with whoever to get games to remain independent. Until they are forced, they are happy with their position.
