That's right. No one is leaving the Big Ten, e.g., without either:
  • abandoning football (*and* all sports?) altogether, OR
  • having a massive and irreparable non-athletic tiff with the alliance - maybe stemming from research or medicine
In other words, we're stuck with Rutger forever.
Can the rules be changed? What if the B1G comes back and says you were brought into this conference under the premises that you would add  X ($50 million?) annual dollars to the conference. You are have failed at that assignment and as such you will continue to receive a reduced share until you can bring up your value to the conference.

We'd definitely lose that law suit.
But I'd be SO HAPPY for the conference to pay Rutger the standard annual team share (in perpetuity) to not be on our schedules. And, let's be honest, that's the least we deserve for bringing them aboard.

What are the odds that Rutgers goes to a bowl, at least, in the next 5 years or so?

Near zero?  Ten percent?  Twenty?

Low bar, but a bar, and a bowl team is a quasi-decent mediocre team at least.

What about Illinois?  Not long ago Purdue was flat awful.

A good coach turns them around, some, before he leaves.

If they don't fire Ash no matter what? I bet they are a 90% bet to get to a bowl in the next several years, doing so with their seniormost squad and one FCS win.
If they start over with new coaches? Eegads. 10%. Maybe.

I didn't do anything. Oh well. Figurative comment, I'm sure.

This thread reminds me of that phenomenon where one chicken gets sick, and the other chickens peck it to death.

I use wisky a lot... mostly due to laziness.  

now.. regarding what would it take for someone to leave the BIG...  Unless someone dropped sports, I can't see it.   The Gov't would need to outlaw conferences.

actually, I no...  I was not.
