Plus I think Texas and Oklahoma are going to be making more than anyone in the big 10 since its not an even split here... odds are ND would be in the upper tier.

What if three teams want to join and they decide to kick us out?Quote:

The $$$ that ND could make from the resources and opportunities presented by the CIC would be huge. They wouldn't have that in the Big 12.Quote:

I think it's up around $9 million net per year. They'd make more than twice that in the Big 10, from TV revenue alone, not including the huge research/grant $$$ that could come by being in the CIC. Still, with the new Big 12 TV deal to come, the gap between what they'd make in the Big 10 vs. the Big 12 in football revenue seems to be quite a bit closer than it has been. So who knows.Quote:

I think this is a long shot, but if ND joins the B12 and have their own network, along with sharing revenue from the B12 tv contract (same with Texas), I wouldn't be surprised to see Penn State, OSU and Mich push for something similar, which could lead to unequal revenue sharing in the B10
Combine that with the fact that ND could start its own network in the b12 vs the big 10, which could generate a lot of money for ND. For its main programming itd have to lose the nbc deal,but i bet they could get their network on a satellite package.Quote:

Wow! I don't see Arkansas and Notre Dame joing the Big XII; however, I would absolutely love if it happenend! Go Cyclones!
If there's one school in the country that could get away with their own network being broadcast nationwide, it's ND.
Did Jerry Jones buy the Big 12-10? His name sure comes up a lot when the New Big 12 talk comes up.
Not holding my breath, but I'd trade NU and CU for Arkansas and Notre Dame any day.
