It’s easy to draw parallel lines to all of these problems at many great Big Ten schools, but let’s not kid ourselves. It is very possible that these stories are the proverbial tip of a horrible iceberg.

Perhaps all of these instances mean the eventually becomes a positive national leader in this space.

The weirdest part of this story of yet still another sexual harassment investigation in the , and at — where Teresa Woodruff is the FOURTH president since Lou Anna Simon stepped down in disgrace in 2018 after “presiding” over the Nassar scandal — isn’t that the university may face another open records lawsuit. Or that the coach was at for a time.

The weirdest thing is the game summary tacked on the end.

Adding Cal, Stanford, SMU is the best bad idea the ACC has - Luke DeCock

- The additions make the ACC measurably worse in football, men’s basketball.
- This expansion isn’t action. It’s reaction.
- If Notre Dame favors expansion, caveat emptor.

If I was the AD of any of the remaining PAC-12 schools, I'd forfeit any 2023 away games hosted at the departing schools to deny them their revenue out of spite.

It’s not college sports anymore, folks. It’s high-profit ‘entertainment’ as college sports go the way of the NFL. It's not conference realignment. It's consolidation and no one is safe in the dash for cash - apnews.com/article/big-ten-big

Adding Oregon and Washington would give the Big Ten more marquee games, thus adding value to the league. In fact, they’d be more valuable than several existing members. Think about what that means when they’re negotiating again 5-6 years from now.

Big Ten's statement: "Big Ten Conference is still focused on integration of USC & UCLA but it’s also the commissioner’s job to keep conference chancellors & presidents informed about new developments as they occur.”
