I think is an acknowledgement that Big Ten Thanksgiving weekend games aren't really for the students, and never was.

That is why, prior to the BTN, the Big Ten was done playing the week before Thanksgiving except when someone played in Hawaii. It's a long haul from Labor Day to Thanksgiving.

Yeah I absolutely loved our tradition of playing the ags on Thanksgiving day.  It was a great way to kick off the holiday weekend.  It wasn't ever quite the same when it moved to T+1, but it was still fun to have a game on that weekend.

Yeah not only does Oregon not bring anything to the table, they actually take away quite a bit.  They're dangerous and competitive both on the field and in recruiting and they are light years ahead of most programs in weaponizing NIL.  And yet they don't bring net new viewers to the B1G, not in the way USC does.

Ever since the UCLA/USC news broke and then everyone speculated that  UO/UW were next, I've been stating that I think bringing in UO would be a bad idea.  Why bring in someone that doesn't increase incremental TV revenue but threatens your marquee teams both competitively and in recruiting?  Makes no sense at all.
Great Post you've pulled the scales off my eyes - you get a Yuengling.I remember when BC,V-Tech and the U left the BE for the ACC.It was suppose do drive a stake into all other conferences. At the time that wasn't a stretch  the Hokies were feelin' their oats and BC was Solid and the Canes appeared to have locked down S.FLA moving forward. So yrs later when Big Jim grabbed RU/Terps most were like WTF - didn't history teach him anything? And the other empty suits went all in. Anyone who wanted to watch BIG Football in those places already had the cable packages. Unfortunately they just turned into more mouths to feed and brought neither prestige,viewers or coin to the table 🤮 . So on the surface from purely gridiron considerations the DUCKS seem like a win. When if one peeks behind the curtain this could blow up in the BIGs face and circle back around and bite them in the arse

Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc. have no problems attracting fans throughout the month of January.

This is a nothingburger as far as I'm concerned.
Exactly the COLD 🥶 weather just means throwing on the insulated WALLS coveralls - more places to stash beers

Everything We Know About ESPN’s Plans to Leave Cable TV & Offer a Stand Alone Streaming Service

https://cordcuttersnews.com/everything-we-know-about-espns-plans-to-leave-cable-tv-offer-a-stand-alone-streaming-service/

Not that long ago, ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro once again made it clear that ESPN will be a streaming service but just not yet.

“We’re going to get to a point where we take our entire network, our flagship programming, and make it available direct to consumer,” Pitaro said in an interview with Bloomberg. “That’s a ‘when,’ not an ‘if’….We’re only going to do it when it makes sense for our business and for our bottom line.”

What price should you expect for ESPN as a standalone service?

ESPN reportedly gets, on average $9.42 from each cable TV subscriber. Pricing the service at $15 a month could mean Disney will get a larger profit for each subscriber.

Moving to streaming will likely mean ESPN will need to charge more as many people who pay for ESPN don’t watch it. $15 to $30 could be a price you may expect depending on if ESPN+ is included etc.

That was my Hypothesis. I don't think there was any real footing to it.
