If the league still has Stanford and Cal and is getting 12-15 million per year?
No!!! We can schedule some football games with the Pac 12 remnants.
Not only do we not accept a P-12 invitation, we also don't accept an arrangement where we and Gonzaga create one member (Zags for all but football, us only football, BE for all other sports). There is no way the potential few additional dollars could offset the travel costs.
If this (B-12 expansion) is over, we have one remaining path to where we want to be. We need our football program to develop to where we can (in a few years) get a bid in the expanded CFP and then make a solid run in those playoffs. We have to accept that we will need to endure at least one year of getting overlooked for the playoffs while being more deserving than a few who make it before we will get an invitation and obviously getting any further than the final four will never be realistic as an independent without Notre Dame's legacy or resources, but this is how we'll achieve the consideration we want.
1 - while we aren't there yet, if we were to run the table with this upcoming season's schedule we'd be ranked ~7-8 at the time they'd select schools for a 12 school playoff.LOL, you are living in a fantasy land if you think we can make the playoffs as an independent. We can barely put together a full schedule of random G5 garbage.
More than 90% of the Big East doesn't play football at this level.If/when Clemson, FSU and Miami bolt for football, what's to stop the Big East from just merging with the ACC?
Based on how the Big 12 thing went down, it appears nobody cares about basketball beyond us and Kansas fansIf/when Clemson, FSU and Miami bolt for football, what's to stop the Big East from just merging with the ACC?
If the big players in ACC leave though, nobody is really going to care about ACC football anymore. It is now a basketball conference maybe equal to the Big East, but really only with Duke and UNC having any recent relevance. The rest are teams trying to regain relevance in basketball with middling football teams.More than 90% of the Big East doesn't play football at this level.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.If the big players in ACC leave though, nobody is really going to care about ACC football anymore.
A football only works
