Georgia Tech? Why would the B1G want to add Georgia Tech?! I'm not buying it.SportsAndLady;1106008 wrote:Got this off a Georgia Tech rumor site

Yeah, that seems like one crazy ass rumor with about no credibility.
Whatever happened with the Temple/Big East stuff? That was "imminent", yet they're still in the MAC/A-10.

I've heard the B1G has had interest in Georgia Tech before. They have similar academic standards as the B1G and Delaney has made it known there would be interest in shoring up a team or two in the south. The thought process would it would open up southern recruiting to the rest of the B1G.Scarlet_Buckeye;1106017 wrote:Georgia Tech? Why would the B1G want to add Georgia Tech?! I'm not buying it.
I would not be surprised if the four letter network has their hands on it. They basically own the ACC and they were instrumental in the recent acquisition of Pitt and Syracuse.

IF the B1G would add Notre Dame, Rutgers, UMD and GaTech they would add some nice TV Markets in NYC, Philly(if not already had), Baltimore/DC and Atlanta. Would probably be an ideal grab for the BTN. Outside of getting Texas, this would probably be the best they could do in terms of adding $$$ to the conference, which is all this is about.

Why would ESPN push that deal? It would primarily serve to boost the BTN (aka the competition). Sounds dumb to me.

Press Conference at 5:30pm to announce Temple to the Big East for football in 2012. They will join in all other sports in 2013.

That would have to be the end of the Big East, right?
Edit: nevermind. They'll just be the new C-USA. Forgot about the future additions. I was thinking they'd be down to like 6 teams without Rutgers.

Dumb move, super conferences are the future and the they should look to get out ahead of it and add Texas, Oklahoma, Okie State and Kansas.

Exactly. If the B1G already has deals with cable carriers in the D.C., Philly and NYC tv areas, I believe those cable providers have to pick up the BTN as a standard channel, paying $$ per subscriber.Crimson streak;1322768 wrote:Tv $$$$
