NBC wants content. And the B1G is a sucker for more money

Notre Dame is a little smarter than Penn State. It’s not going to make a big move without having a follow up plan. And the Irish will place their non-revs in the Big East and call it a day. Because deep down football is more important to Notre Dame than having a broad based athletic program like UVa or Stanford. ** Edited by Tailgate Guru at 12/9/2025, 9:06:38 AM

Misplaced Anger
I85Hokie • 12/09/25 07:49 AM ET
ND is pissed at ESPN too
TerryD • 12/09/25 07:52 AM ET
Short sighted. The damage to ND's reputation is not worth it.**
Truthahn • 12/09/25 12:11 PM ET
In fairness, don’t you agree that this faux anger is just awkward cover?
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 08:11 AM ET
BTW, I have no anger/hatred and actually would prefer the status quo
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:14 PM ET
And we appreciate your attitude
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 01:17 PM ET
I think that the anger is real and visceral
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:09 PM ET
I said "do", not "say"**
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:15 PM ET
To the contrary, Bevacqua commented rashly, emotionally and foolishly **
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 01:13 PM ET
This is pretty close to what I tried to less eloquently say last night
Vippie1 • 12/09/25 09:51 AM ET
The Big 10 will not go for some kind
mancunian • 12/09/25 08:51 AM ET
What? On what planet wouldn't they?
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:19 AM ET
What I'm saying is the Big 10 won't go for the deal
mancunian • 12/09/25 10:25 AM ET
Ah, OK. I misunderstood. I still think both P2's would want 4 games a year.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:30 AM ET
Quote from Bevacqua today that supports the "draw" part
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:04 PM ET
Since the Big Ten and NBC are partnered up, it makes all the sense in the
reestuart • 12/09/25 10:50 AM ET
I wasn't completely clear intially.
mancunian • 12/09/25 10:41 AM ET
Agreed. P2 isn't taking the other sports without football.**
reestuart • 12/09/25 10:27 AM ET
Yeah, but neither P2 has to. Has everyone forgotten about the Big East?
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:32 AM ET
NBC wants content. And the B1G is a sucker for more money ◄
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 09:05 AM ET
ND has not financially supported basketball for forty five years
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:07 PM ET
Precisely
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 01:15 PM ET
People forget
TerryD • 12/09/25 01:22 PM ET
The only plan they could have that would make sense would be dropping
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:38 AM ET
Put hoops and non-revs in Big East
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 10:01 AM ET
I think this is the correct answer. If they can ink a scheduling

Whispers “Utah”
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 11:27 AM ET
There is a difference. Utah did not want out of the PAC, and when
Big12 guy • 12/09/25 11:53 AM ET
All of the GOR agreements end at about the same time
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 12:52 PM ET
No doubt about it, as I concur. The B12 is a patchwork
Big12 guy • 12/09/25 01:29 PM ET
Texass is a conference killer.
RJHokie • 12/09/25 10:56 AM ET
My guess is Notre Dame's plan is to remain Independent in football and
VTHokie2000 • 12/09/25 09:52 AM ET
Agreed. I think this is cover/ammo for trying to break the GOR for nonrevs**
RTFC • 12/09/25 09:21 AM ET
I have a new ND theory (for fun). FSU and a few others approached ND
HokieAl • 12/09/25 08:22 AM ET
That may have been building behind the scenes for a while
Victor Tango • 12/09/25 09:14 AM ET
Why stop at football when they can go after the whole ball of wax?**
