Good for them.BYU had a good year in 2021....
2021 BYU Football Has Best Home Attendance Since 2009
BYU’s average of 61,647 fans per game in 2021 was the best its had since it averaged 64,236 in 2009.www.vanquishthefoe.com
I don't think anything comes of that but UCLA having to give Cal some of their Big 10 money.
Opportunity.
Dude- I've not been around KU football since the B12 days for CU, but Duke football is pathetic. They were dead last in P5 attendance last year (something like 15K per home game). I went to a game at the end of the season where they didn't even scan all the tickets for people in my party. outside of like 10K people, there is no one who gives a **** about Duke football. Although I will add that I think Elko could be a good hire.
I guess there’s a little more recency bias for me with Duke. They had a stretch starting in Cutcliffes 3rd season where they were going to bowl games regularly, won the ACC, went 3-3 in bowl games, and were winning 7-8 games/year. They also pretty much finish around the middle of the ACC every year.
True, but I forgot to because we're talking about Auburn lol. Harsin might be a viable get for us in a year or two.
You didn't know about the 1939 Rose Bowl?
its gonna be UDub, Oregon, Stanford and Cal
I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around both Cal and Stanford.
Cal makes sense to prevent them from being the turd in the punch bowl, costing them UCLA
I pretty much agree with this. I think cu is right in that 4-5 school on the list. It would be great to have cu Nebraska again. Time will tell if there is any truth here. If truth is there we will see if cu is even included.
That’s what Forde and Wetzel were suggesting the other day, and then saying the four corner schools to Big 12. Seems to be the most likely scenario and only question is which move happens first? Can’t imagine a Pac media deal being agreed upon if this is the case and it feels like it’s probably happening in the next 2 years
I understand the phrase "turd in punchbowl", but not following you here.
Neither program has much of a fan base and the Bay Area sucks for CFB ratings. I’m honestly surprised either of those programs are even being considered, regardless of market size. That being said, Stanford does have the rivalries with ND and USC that create more matchup options to fill one of those 3 time slots the B1G now has, and bringing Stanford could be used to entice ND to fold and join.
UCLA may be blocked from joining Big because it would abandon sister institution Cal. If Cal gets invite, it’s is no longer “turd in punch bowl”, as they would both go to Big and thus all the political kerfuffle would immediately die.
That presumes the noise about blocking UCLA's move has any legs -- I just don't buy that.
Listening to some podcasts and they went through the current B1G schedule and tried finding 3 games every week that are going to rate well enough to really warrant being on FOX, CBS, and NBC consecutively. There are a few weeks here and there with 2 but rarely 3. Adding SC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington and Stanford will certainly add more, but we also know CU/NU brings a huge audience, and USC/CU and Oregon/CU both being good ratings, and I think CU/Michigan and CU/Wisconsin would also draw.
