NCAA Confernces expanded and disappearing
- Thread starter Fucky McFuckerson
- Start date
for now! :cheeky: like i said maybe this money will help build the program to the powerhouse it used to be. Colorado/Denver loves it when the Buffs are winning and support/money/etc are cu's for the taking but there have been soooo many bad decisions these past few years coupled with the very bad facilities its a no win situation until something chages (maybe this is that something)
Enjoy your cable bills going up and having EVERY non-college sports fan bitching about it and trying to prevent your local cable provider from picking up the network.
Big 10 network is only cool if you live some place where you might otherwise not be able to see your favorite team play, yet still live in the region. Otherwise it is for shit.

I think ND is going to stall and miss out on the "opportunity" and NU and Mizzou will end up joining. They'll probably move once the Big 10 picks up another two teams after Mizzou and NU. But ND moving won't be AS important as it could be if they move now.
Anyone else think they should stop calling these conferences Pac-10, Big-10, etc when they don't even have 10 teams anymore?
all I can say is that I hope the acc makes a move to grab up some big east schools before the sec raids them, cause it's talks of maryland joining the big ten and that has people around here going nuts on the sports talk radio me myself can't see the day maryland not playing duke and the tarheels every year
football brings in so much due to size of stadiums, bowl games and tv deals. football has always been the more expensive sport to maintain aswell. you can easily say NCAA basketball is more popular then the NBA, you can't say that about the NFL though. Football is king, this we all know but to sit here and act like college basketball isn't worth the time is just bullshit in my eyes.
march madness is just that...madness in march and early april. 3-4 week period. so i would say that $11 billion is a big ass drop in the bucket when you consider its a short period of time and only on 1 channel.
i just don't like how they keep throwing basketball under the bus like its the red headed stepchild in all of this mess.

football is king in this country...i said this in previous post already. what you aren't understanding is the fact that college basketball is a big revenue getter aswell...just not on the level of football. and it pisses me off when people act like it doesn't get the money when in fact it really does...just not comparable to football given the circumstances.
still doesn't mean that basketball is something you could just turn your back on like its not relevant enough for you though.
march madness might only be for a short period of time like i've said already but that short amount of time it is running is the most popular event in the country besides the superbowl. thats saying something right there even if its not that big of a money maker during the regular season.
