I really like Gameday. Herbie is knowledgeable, they have good pre-produced pieces, and mix in some good entertainment. They'll have more coverage of the Hawkeyes this year.
Re: Nebraska's 2010 schedule has been modified (from a tOSU board)
Many of you don't seem to "get it." They aren't playing TEXAS all those games, they are still playing Iowa St, Kansas, etc. The joke is that all those schools have "sold out" and become campuses of UT.
I really like those divisions, they make perfect sense. What about rotating divisions in order to prevent any "us" vs "them" situations that might develop?
Just stay at 12 and watch Texas destroy the PAC. When Notre Dame is ready they'll come knocking but that's going to take a few years. Concentrate on integrating Nebraska and putting together TV deals with the PAC.
I really hope that Texas doesn't join the Big 10. We can still do business with them though. Have them join the Pac# and then put together a media distribution with the PAC# and our Fox partnership.
The Big Ten Network will be fine. Even if cable subscriptions fall (I doubt they will), their quality content will be available on multiple devices and distribution methods. A hot mix of subscribers and advertising $$$ will make enough money to help the BTN compete with ESPN for college...
