[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](OP here):

I'll throw out a bit of a wild idea.

What if the Big Ten Conference and U Oregon & U Washington do not come to an agreement expanding the Big Ten Conference ? Next year may be too late to bring on Oregon as USC will do everything it can to block Oregon from joining the Big Ten.

The Big Ten Conference should think about making Notre Dame an offer that it cannot refuse--something that in its initial years is more than a full share in the Big Ten spoils. Add in a traditional Notre Dame opponent such as Stanford and there would be far less interest in dealing with either U Oregon or U Washington--which can move to the Big 12 as the Pac-12 can barely offer survival money.[/quote]

ND is only a good idea for the conference if they are fully locked-in for the long haul. A sweetheart deal with more money up front doesn't necessarily do that. ND also has 2 more years on their not-so-great NBC deal.[/quote]

(OP again):

Agree. Can lock-in Notre Dame with hefty exit fees which extend for longer than the length of the current media rights deal.[/quote]
