No they wouldn't. They are about to cash in with the new BE media deal."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

They have moved the bidding to the open market after the exclusive negotiating window with ESPN expired. I do not know what sort of timeline they are looking at.Originally posted by The_Douger View PostWhen is that deal done?
I am interested to see how much they'll be making."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

I will be surprised if they get more than 4 million a year for football only squads.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

I still don't see us joining that group.
At this point I'm resigned to hoping KSU finishes undefeated and gets jumped by the Irish so the B12 expands.
A pipe dream, I know.Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

ND has access to the orange bowl.Originally posted by San Juan Sun View Posthttp://espn.go.com/college-football/...emifinal-games
Big East now is included with an automatic BCS berth (if their champ is highest ranked of MAC, SunBelt, MWC, CUSA). BYU and ND do not have automatic berths unless they are ranked top 5.
The six games will include three "contract bowls" and three "host bowls." The spots in the contract bowls are reserved for teams that have deals with those bowls.
The contract bowls are: Rose (Pac-12 vs. Big Ten); Sugar (SEC vs. Big 12) and Orange (ACC vs. Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame)."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point. It has become apparent that a man can, within limits, follow his inclinations within the arms of the Church if he does so discreetly." - The Walking Drum

Yes, the BCS agreement allows for bowls to make agreements with schools, but the BCS 2.0 doesn't have an auto-qualifier like the previous version. It's a pretty minor distinction, I agree. Of course, no large bowl wants a similar agreement with BYU, so the point is kind of moot.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View PostND has access to the orange bowl."Sure, I fought.

Independence isn't ideal. For that, I am with you. It's better than the alternatives.Originally posted by Flystripper View PostI would hand you a tissue on that day and provide you a shoulder to cry on, but where is your comfort for me as I die inside a little bit every week that we play as an independent sliding into complete and utter irrelevance?
