I hate this conference

Hello AD is it enough already? How many obvious screw jobs are we supposed to take and say thank you sir may I have another? We have been jobbed so many times over the years it defies logic. Whoops I forgot we're all conspiracy theorists and the Big 10 in no way manipulates outcomes of games to their perceived benefit.
When these azzholes piled on in July I had one foot out the door. This firmly pushed me out. We will NEVER get a fair shake in this Midwestern Rustbelt Dinosaur League. PSU is there to be seen and not heard. We make the conference shit loads of money and they like that, but damn if they will see us Northeastern Outsiders elevated above their Midwestern Brethren. I hate that we have no input in this, Our administration will bow and scrape for eternity.as long the checks keep coming in. F the Big 10. F our conference "Brothers" I'll take my chances in that Southern Basketball Conference any day of the week.

I say we go independent again.

Terrible fiscal decision.
If we leave the B1G, we need to go to a conference that gives us money. We're not big enough to support our own network, so who would show us when we play Buffalo?

They would show an independent team's opening week games on national television, when they are banned from postseason play and have a game with no conference implications? No they wouldn't.

PSU will never leave the B1G.. The amount of money that cycles around through research, TV revenue etc. is immense. Do I hate the B1G? Hell yes. But I don't see PSU leaving anytime soon? No.

Good point. We just gotta get our own national network then.

Lets get the FCk out.
It is friggin horrendous at how one team consistently gets screwed time and time again

Unfortunately, how we're treated on the football field has ZERO effect on decisions made WRT conference affiliation.
Even though the B1G hates us, they pay us more $$$ than any other conference is willing or able to.

Texas tried that and it failed miserably.
Gotta be attached to a conference, just not this one.

Are you sure about that one? I'll give you a second to take that back.

one thousand one.....one thousand two..... Nope....still think Notre Lame dodges us....
Let's see, they have only SCHEDULED tOSU twice since 1946...even though we are neighboring states, not a long haul, could probably walk if you had to....

They played us a few years ago.

OSU has been awful about scheduling quality opponents until very, very recently.
They played a few good teams the past decade OOC, but not many. I'm pretty positive the issue with OSU-ND is just as much OSU's fault as it is ND's.

This conference cares about looks only. Look what the did to MSU - torpedoed them as well.
Why? They want that BCS money. They want to fluff up the better teams so they'll have a shot at two BCS bowls.
Money. They want money.
I can't wait to see the screws for the Wiscy game. With Wiscy being the leaders representative, there's no way they'll not give them some help in the PSU Wiscy game.

I actually agree with this, I don't think it's a conspiracy against PSU per se, I think the B1G knows it sucks and wants to try and help out the few decent teams that are bowl eligible. Just look at MSU last week, they got screwed too.
