Notre Dame Is at Center of Expansion Discussion
Notre Dame Is at Center of Expansion Discussion The Big Ten has 11 teams, and if it adds Notre Dame, which it appears it wants to, the Irish would probably not want to be part of a 16-team superleague. The Irish, in theory, would have the power to cap the league at 12 teams. “I…

Big 12 head is taking the wrong approach
Big 12 head is taking the wrong approach For an institution that is in the throes of life support, the Big 12 Conference is exhibiting rather curious survival behavior. Commissioner Dan Beebe has at least nine member schools flirting with the idea of bolting to greener economic pastures, yet the embattled conference commissioner has basically…

Notre Dame Is at Center of Expansion Discussion
Notre Dame Is at Center of Expansion Discussion In March, on an unseasonably warm morning in New York City, Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick seemed to push the collegiate conference expansion discussion from theory to reality. He told a small group of reporters that the Irish would reconsider their football independence if it appeared…

The SEC Has To Have Less Cowbell
The SEC Has To Have Less Cowbell You may be surprised to find out this actually matters. Over the past decade, Mississippi State’s had the best homefield advantage in the SEC, winning eight more games at home than they did on the road. Since MSU’s road record is an appalling 6-34, that means the Bulldogs…

Exploring scenarios for how expansion dominos may fall
Exploring scenarios for how expansion dominos may fall 1. Notre Dame stays put (for now), Nebraska and Missouri pledge loyalty to the Big 12 and the Big Ten and Pac-10 go back to the drawing board.

Florida’s program built to endure
Florida’s program built to endure The 2008 SEC championship game loss to Florida was what drove the Alabama players as much as anything last year. It was motivation for the offseason program, for voluntary workouts, for the season. The Crimson Tide’s reward was a perfect 14-0 season and a national championship. A year later, the…

The challenge of replacing McCluster
The challenge of replacing McCluster McCluster was the SEC’s most dynamic offensive player over the second half of last season. He kept the pressure off the Ole Miss offense because he was always breaking long runs for touchdowns or setting up the offense with big plays. The Rebels didn’t have to rely on long, grind-it-out…

SEC should keep its foot on the clutch
SEC should keep its foot on the clutch If other big conferences expand, the SEC should be ready to make a move from 12 schools to 16. Notre Dame could keep Big Ten expansion from getting messy, although the Fighting Irish long ago established they’d rather take their ball and NBC contract and go home…

Expansion isn’t as clear cut for SEC
Expansion isn’t as clear cut for SEC The one point on which I would expound is the one Jeremy made late in his article about the distribution of the league. SEC commissioner Mike Slive said that to us when we cornered him Thursday afternoon, and it forced a bit of a change in how I…

Stricklin, on cowbell compromise skeptics: “Let’s prove them all wrong”
Stricklin, on cowbell compromise skeptics: “Let’s prove them all wrong” Essentially, Stricklin acknowledges that the buy-in of the fan base is what will ultimately prove this successful or doom it to failure. In August, a fine structure and enforcement protocol will be determined by the league’s athletic directors. Given that it’ll be a few days…

UM’s Pomeranz picked 5th overall by Indians
UM’s Pomeranz picked 5th overall by Indians “I’d like to end up in the big leagues in three years,” he said. “We’ll see how negotiations go.” Pomeranz, too, seems likely to forego college ball next season in exchange for a lucrative payday. The No. 5 pick in last year’s draft, high school pitcher Matt Hobgood,…
