well, there's gotta be a way

I'm guessing that if 13 of the 14 Big programs wanted UNL expelled, ,they would Git'R done

I suppose they can SAY they want to do anything.

But without some pretty specific language for expulsion in the bylaws,  they'd be opening the B1G up for the potential of a billion dollar lawsuit.  Even WITH contractual language, they're still open for litigation, and if I had to guess I'd say it would most likely settle somewhat nicely in favor of the expelled member in such a case.

Bottom line, talk of expulsion of Maryland and Rutgers simply because they're boring and crappy athletic brands, is silly and unproductive.

That former B1G commissioner what's-his-name saddled you with Maryland and Rutgers and there's really nothing you can do about it.  You accepted the scores of millions of dollars given to the BTN with their admission, and you'll accept whatever downsides they bring to the conference as well.

Buyer's remorse sucks and all, but these two have a no-cancellation no-return policy.  You're stuck.

yup.

Maryland and Rutgers were decent adds for recruiting purposes imo. I was kinda pissed about Rutgers, but always thought Maryland was a pretty good add. B1G footprint isn't exactly talent city. Outside of Ohio and PA- there is a serious lack of talent producing states. Michigan or Illinois is probably a distant 3rd in the talent producing department. And there is a ton of high end talent per capita that comes out of NJ and the DMV area every single year.

I would've loved to add Texas & ND to the B1G, wasn't ever too keen on Oklahoma because they really don't bring anything in terms of tv market share or recruiting base. Oklahoma is a poor tiny little state with basically zero talent base- it has to be tied at the hip to Texas and able to raid the state of Texas for talent to be able to thrive. It didn't really bring anything to B1G.

Still mad about that. The divisions should have been Rotel/Velveeta.

meh. Oklahoma gets ass blasted in the playoff every time they make it- just like every B1G team has not named Ohio State.
