Mt statement are pure conjecture, so if you want to spend time poking holes

in my argument, then OK. Certainly looks like ND is making it work from my perspective, but I understand you may have a different opinion. Currently, I think that the individual schools have more leverage than you think. All the blue bloods have to do is act in unison, and the networks would follow. It's currently the other way around. The current playoff distribution has been reported time and time again, but I guess this is where you point out that I do not have a link to the contract. My assumption is that they came up with that distribution based on who has actually won the NC's, and who has actually participated in the playoffs, and you have historically participated in the News Yeas 6 Bowls in the past. What I don't assume, is that they already distribute the money unevenly, and ND's % of the pie as an independent has already been established. Just a few tweaks could change the dynamic significantly, and independence could be a viable option for the top blue bloods. Thank for telling me though.

2hhoop3 • 01/11/25 11:11 AM ET
This should stop the current model of expansion, as ND is the only school

Will be interesting to see if the Big Ten puts pressure on USC to drop ND.
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/25 12:38 AM ET
I'm guessing the B10 network partners want a USC/ND game every other year**
SMU Pony • 01/11/25 01:36 PM ET
True. BTW, when the B1G (in this case James Franklin) says "ND should join
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/25 03:37 PM ET
I don’t think they will. I’m sure they love to have ND, but they don’t

1947Sunbowl • 01/11/25 12:01 PM ET

Maroon Baboon • 01/11/25 08:50 AM ET
LOL it’s about the Army Navy games & not the NC ~20M versus ~1M others get.
Stech • 01/10/25 09:25 PM ET
TV powers that be.
Atlee Hokie • 01/11/25 09:09 PM ET
I agree they don’t, but if ND played more B10 and SEC games, the 💵 goes up**
Stech • 01/12/25 08:53 AM ET
Or, the opposite. Will blue bloods in the P2 decide to go independent
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/25 09:33 AM ET
doubt it
RandomAsianGuy • 01/11/25 01:30 PM ET
It's not about the sum of individual parts. It's about the few big names at
Maroon Baboon • 01/11/25 03:33 PM ET
I had the same thought. ND may be showing the other blue bloods
Big12 guy • 01/11/25 10:18 AM ET
I doubt that any school,......
2hhoop3 • 01/11/25 02:22 PM ET
Maybe, but good enough to field a national championship caliber team?
Big12 guy • 01/11/25 04:57 PM ET
Where would those teams park their MBB and non revs?
Atlee Hokie • 01/11/25 09:16 PM ET
Of the current options, there are only a few basketball conferences that

Big12 guy • 01/13/25 05:59 AM ET
Not quite
TerryD • 01/13/25 03:58 PM ET
Would be surprised if the P2 don’t renegotiate **
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/10/25 09:38 PM ET
Me too, Lane Kiffin will probably make sure of it. 🤣🤣**

tk225 • 01/10/25 09:13 PM ET
Freeman and pretty much every ND fan has said, no way until they have to!
Stech • 01/10/25 09:55 PM ET
Its not ND's duty to save the ACC...from themselves
TerryD • 01/11/25 08:32 AM ET
ACC should never have let ND join for all sports except football.**
Atlee Hokie • 01/11/25 09:18 PM ET
