[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this time, the Big Ten Conference probably views a healthy SEC, a healthy Big 12, and a healthy ACC as its best friends. Nobody wants to hear the word antitrust and, under the current circumstances, that word will not be uttered.

The only school that the Big Ten Conference truly covets is independent, free agent Notre Dame. And even this fascination may fade over the next few years as the reality of the Big Ten Conference's embarrassment of riches sinks in.[/quote]

The Big Ten needs to play the long game though and that means being opportunistic with big gets like ND and even a few ACC schools if things start to unravel there. [b]With the SEC around no one needs to worry at all about the Big Ten and the word antitrust[/b]. The Big Ten should care less about a healthy ACC or Big 12. It isn't bad to have financially weaker and unstable opponents.[/quote]

Which reveals a total lack of knowledge about antitrust law and antitrust concerns.[/quote]

I'm an attorney and legitimately want to know what the potential antitrust worry could be for the Big Ten. I'm confused by these posts.[/quote]

I'll give you a headstart on your research:

There isn't really a substantive change here though versus the complaints that already existed re: the Power 5. I'm just not seeing what you are so concerned about. There are plenty of non attorneys here, so how about you just spell it out.[/quote]
