I didn't see this talked about, so delete if needed or merge.. Go to the 12 minute mark. They suggest insiders are saying the ACC is after PSU.

They also said the B1G will not expand with anyone that is not AAU.
I stand by my AAU expansion idea. Going after USC, Pitt, Georgia Tech, etc, is the only way to make an expanded, AAU-centric conference that's good at football.
I am not sure I have seen it anywhere…what is the financial penalty if a Big 10 team decided to leave? The current media contract is ending soon so that wouldn’t be too big of an issue for a school for getting their grant of rights.
I know a Big 10 school would take a major hit financially from the academic research side which would be a huge reason not to leave the conference.
I am not advocating/predicting any teams in the conference will leave but just curious the possible penalties.

@Red Reign I'm curious.. why was this moved when this is about a fellow B1G member?

Penn State's history with Pitt and Syracuse has to be slightly attractive. Losing PSU is not the thing the conference needs at the moment ... Kevin Warren et al better be talking to everyone to (a) make sure there are no defections and (b) make themselves available for parties that might be interested in the B1G.
Yeah that would be a big financial hit on both athletics and educational grant money. Also PSU is not giving up the wresting status. ACC is not in the same universe as B1G.
What would be their incentive? Piss off OSU. All the sports PSU is good at the B1G has the market cornered. Or is second.
Football B1G top to bottom better. Wrestling not close. Volleyball not close.
Meanwhile. Not sure if PSU plays Lacrosse.

They do play lacrosse and ice hockey so logic suggests another factor why they would not or should not move ... but I've always felt PSU has an affinity for its east coast roots ... never felt Rutgers was a true rival.
Money is money and it is the driver for all these things but PSU would not be kicked out of the AAU strictly if they joined a different conference. I think TV money can and will be renegotiated if conference membership changes.
I also believe the B1G and ACC are in a battle to ensure they're in the next in line after the SEC ... Notre Dame is a wild card but without something dramatic (adding Pac12 teams) ... the only way for either conference to significantly improve is to raid each other ... adding remaining members from the B12 does not move the needle so how about Penn State to the ACC or Virginia/North Carolina to the B1G?
We need Penn St. and need more blue bloods. I’m looking at USC, Oregon, and Washington thinking damn that would solidify things.
Disagree ... Penn State is upper tier in brand recognition. They bring a solid TV market. They are an upper tier team in the conference and would be an absolute positive addition to any conference they left for ... besides right now the psychological impact of losing a team, any team, would enormous. This is not Rutgers it is one of the top programs in the B1G.

The B1G was a successful conference long before they added PSU.
That was then ... WAAAAY different world we live in currently!
