you and I and others on this board

the true college football fans will have to pay to make up the difference
There ain't enough of us to make a difference.  NFL viewership is dramatically higher than collegiate sports viewership and even they have found they are beholden to the masses to keep most of their content on regular OTA networks.

That the forced cable subscriber subsidized model has existed THIS long is just an odd quirk of circumstances that held together in just the right way for just the right amount of time, but it was never going to be sustainable.  That's precisely why the B1G made the move for Maryland and Rutgers when it did, knowing the time was already running out and wanting to capitalize on it while the getting was good. 

Of course, now y'all are stuck with Maryland and Rutgers.  It's all well and good as long as the checks keep cashing...

In that case, I would say the Rutgers, Indiana and Northwestern from a football standpoint, are the weakest in the B1G.
Here is an alphabetical breakdown of teams in the B1G, in conference-only play.

Indiana, Maryland, Northwestern and Rutgers all below 40% winning. This is for all-time.

The last 3 decades look different.


1993-Present




NU trades spots with Illinois and Minnesota falls into the under 40% toilet.

So, what is the future?

I know predicting is always tough when it's about the future ...

Anyone here having smoky/hazy skies?
Not here, but Chicago did Sunday-Yesterday while we were there. Probably does today, I imagine. Damn Canadiens.

when the checks dry up, it could spell a problem for Rutgers.

BTN, SEC network, NFL network and ESPN are all on youtube TV and all other popular streaming options

I canceled youtube TV after being a proponent of it for a long time.  
Price kept going up and they kept having skirmishes with individual channels, so it became inconsistent.  
I'll only have it during football season going forward.

I was a bit surprised when the new AAU members were named last week, and FSU was not part of it. It was equally surprising that USF is in.

Any idea on this @OrangeAfroMan @Honestbuckeye @Mdot21 @WhiskeyM
I know FSU has been working hard to improve academics and such, and I know South Florida seems kinda random, but I believe USF has some kind of attachment with Florida (at least they used to), which may have had something to do with it.
I know AAU seems to really care about on-site stuff.  But on its own, USF is like a backup school (or was).  For as pedestrian as its normal, undergrad numbers are, it must have some strong research numbers.  
Looking it up quickly, USF went big on research 5-6 years ago.  
.
I think FSU has been busy improving it's undergrad/traditional metrics and maybe has just focused on research more recently.  Idk.

changing from Hulu to Youtube to whatever isn't going to save anyone
ditching ESPN, BTN, ABC, NBC, CBS is the only way to save.

I saw that FSU is connected to FAMU for engineering. Like a joint venture. Could this be part of it??

From what I can gather- FSU is working hard towards an invite to AAU. It is a bit of a process- most of the schools have some affiliation with a teaching hospital and can attract research dollars.
They have allocated a lot of resources to go in that direction. 

Totally unscientific- many of their alumni would prefer the BIG over SEC.
Does the FAMU connection hurt FSU? I know they are connected with engineering. Are the other colleges/schools connected too?

You can get all of these over the air, in most places where humans live.

Good luck with that.  It would be interesting to see the kinds of lawsuits that would arise when you tell a school you're cutting off the gravy train.  I suspect they're the kind of lawsuits that would prevent a conference from even considering it.
