None if the sources so far strike me as truly legitmate.

Steve Jones is as legitimate as they come to PSU football. Trust the thousands that know who he is.

That was my next question. I'm not saying he's wrong, its that old smoke and fire thing, but I'm waiting to hear it from someone more credible.

I would hope the play by play announcer for Psu football and basketball is credible enough for you. Other than that scumball, Delaney, who do you need to hear it from?

Funny because the money is the only thing that matters. The other stuff is fluffy bunny BS. PSU gives the cashup, they are nuts. Especially with the situation they are in now and all the bills they are about to be paying.
How much do you guys think the rmedia ights for the next 15 or so years will cost PSU? I'm guessing $70m as a deal. Likely over $100m

I'm an academic. I spend all of my time with academics. I'm pursuing an academic career.
Culture matters. Big time.

so, UMD and Rutgers... Well, that will take us to 14, only two spots left if the "superconference" talk happens. I honestly wish it would so Notre Dame would have to join one. If the BIG and the ACC go to 16 full members, ND will be left out in the cold.

A national reporter. It has been provided. Like I said, I didn't say it was a lie, just wanted some better confirmation.

Yeah, since Mainstream is known for being correct.
Steve Jones has 100000% more credibility than ESPN does. Sorry, just really need to let people know who Steve Jones is. Great guy.

UVA and another east coast school would make me (and other PSU fans) happy.

Are you kidding? Steve Jones is the most reliable PSU source that could possibly exist. He wouldn't say something that wasn't absolutely true.

In his defense Mtayl wouldn't know not being a grad or from the area.

To be more accurate, they are all reporting that the Big10 is in serious discussions with both of those schools about possibly joining the conference. Nothing has been formally agreed upon yet.

ND will always have the 16th spot, and if cornered ND will go to the B1G.

Does this help or hurt PSU recruiting in those states?

About what I would expect from an economics major. There is a reason your clan is getting so much push back in academia the last ten years, because money is not the only thing that comprises the "real world".
Academics do not think only in terms of money. It matters, but so do a lot of other things. With the new ACC contract, PSU can justify lost revenue and work to compensate through fundraising.

You think so? I'm getting the feeling that the ACC will be forced, at some time, to give them the ultimatum that the BIG has always given them, all sports or none. If the ACC and the BIG are nearing a full conference, I feel Notre Dame will join the ACC. Just my gut, even though they are a natural fit to the BIG.
