19 hours 7 min ago	Well	I think we have to take more factors into comparison. 1) Part of the draw of going to a school in your conference are that there are away games to your home state. With Texas being such a large state, it probably matters less to a Texas recruit that ATM is in the SEC. In fact, with all the Texas schools in the B12, they are still very attractive. Contrast that with New Jersey and Maryland, which are small. A game over there is probably within driving distance for most parents in those states, New York, and Northern Virginia, which is pretty nice. 2) Most of the SEC is already in prime recruiting territory. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana already pump out a huge number of blue chips, and neighbor other talent rich states like North Carolina and Virginia. Of course they'll target more Texas and Missouri recruits, but probably only the top tier guys, which doesn't put much of a dent in your numbers. The B1G, however, has a lot less in-state talent. Basically, we need New Jersey and Maryland recruits more than the SEC needs Texas and Missouri recruits. 3) Why not include Texas A&M in your equation? Obviously they are part of the SEC. If more talent in Jersey and Maryland go to Rutgers and Maryland instead of another conference, that means a stronger B1G.  . . I agree that the expansions recruiting impact to the SEC hasn't been huge, but think it'll be a lot bigger for B1G teams.
1 week 1 day ago	Good one	" Can do the worm, so will probably get the safety role on the victory formation."   Good one
1 week 2 days ago	Not really	They have a crap ton of in-state talent, with no major powers within short driving distances.
3 weeks 21 min ago	also	Football is soso but they play hard and their coach is hard to dislike
3 weeks 5 days ago	Well	Yeah but everyone in every country agrees that they have the worst politicians. Saying 'your state has the most moronic dumb politicians' is different from northerners saying 'like how people from Texas cheat' or some chinese dude joking 'like how Americans are fat and dumb'
3 weeks 5 days ago	Shrug	Feel free to get out
3 weeks 5 days ago	Nice	You manage to insult Texans and women, which I think your mom was, in one sentence. Guess you aren't interested in being a Michigan Man.
3 weeks 5 days ago	Well	If your kids went to college somewhere and people there were joking that Michiganers like him were dumb lazy unioned leechers living in slums, I hope they can laugh it off.
4 weeks 3 days ago	Probably	FSU probably explored other options, but decided that staying in the ACC was a better situation, even if very slightly. Once that decision was made, having a full strength ACC was in their best interest, IMO.
5 weeks 7 hours ago	Would like him but...	If he's transfering for more playing time, WVU which just graduated Smith would probably be more appealing.
5 weeks 3 days ago	Well	When you are a 5 star athlete living in Alabama, in fact, when you live in a town called Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and has committed to Alabama, most coaches don't want to waste their time. That being said, come on up north!
7 weeks 3 days ago	Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll	He's kind of excited right now, but he's already a junior age wise and his stock is rising. Given how hard it is for big guys to go through their careers without ankle or knee injuries, I wouldn't be surprised if he changes his mind after the dust settles. Selfishly I want him back, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and i wouldn't blame him.
7 weeks 3 days ago	Eh	He's already a junior age wise, so I wouldn't blame him for changing his mind after the dust settles. Athletic, rebounding, runs the floor type of big men are at a premium. You gotta do what you gotta do though selfishly I want him back.
7 weeks 3 days ago	The sacrifice	The Final Four Gods required a bloody sacrifice in ACL's and exitings in other major sports.
7 weeks 4 days ago	Front page	That kind of 'so happy its hard to breathe' joy is hard to come by, congrats!!!
10 weeks 3 days ago	According	According to ACC fans, ND joining in full is a matter of time. Good luck to them.
10 weeks 3 days ago	Yeah	Now that the Big East a Catholic basketball conference, the 3 football schools that have been there the longest(UConn, Cincinatti, South Florida) probably just want to get the most exit money possible. I mean, UConn basketball has to recruit kids to the American 12 conference now.
12 weeks 22 hours ago	Good for him	Almost 60 million dollars for 3 years, including the signing bonus. Not bad!
12 weeks 6 days ago	Weird	Guess I went there because I was accepted and didn't know the full extent of just how many loans I would have to take out eventually. Those 4 years went by in a haze of highs, lows, great friends, numbing loneliness, studying, much procrastination, craziness, insanity, and dead boring all rolled into one. 7 years later, when I walk pass certain streets in California, I can close my eyes and feel myself walking past the Chem building.
13 weeks 21 hours ago	"They didn't even win a National Championship"	Christ, quit acting all so high and mighty, like a National Championship is all that matters. What Chris did is nothing to be proud of, but everyone makes bad choices. Its widely believed he took the money after his last Michigan ball game, and before the draft. He didn't do drugs, booze and drive, assault someone, shave points, but took us fair and square to 2 final fours. Not to mention the other 4 guys did nothing wrong. Michigan benefited enormously from the Fab 5 back then, and is even now. Any 'black hole' the program has gone through has way much more to do with coaching than the sanctions.
15 weeks 2 days ago	My poor attempt to follow the	My poor attempt to follow the masterpiece: 4:10 pm: For the 97th time Lane checks to make sure the fax machine is working. It is. He opens the USC rivals page... only to discover another 5 star has decommited and is going to Idaho. He slowly stands up, hands shaking. Filled with a rage he cannot control, Lane marches down the hall  to scream at his recruiting coordinator. He opens the door, ready to scream.... and his dads empty office stares back at him.
15 weeks 6 days ago	Also	As a high profile public employee representing the University, they are held under higher standards. Cheating on your pregnant wife is a really low thing to do.
15 weeks 6 days ago	Uh	Cheating on a pregnant wife is none of our business, but shouldn't be labeled 'bossing' either.
16 weeks 1 day ago	Well	It's correct in the same way as a certain n word refers to black people, wetbacks refer to latinos, and cu** can refer to a woman.
16 weeks 3 days ago	Well	Apparently a male stripper was among the folks who gave the players this deer antler spray. No wonder 'Bama won, Their players were taking illegal animal spray from male strippers while the other team was mourning fake dead girlfrends.
18 weeks 1 day ago	Yeah	Yeah who knows maybe Treadwell's fake too.
18 weeks 1 day ago	All	All I know is that this probably brightens up Brian, and every Michigan fans day after the bad weekend.
18 weeks 2 days ago	One thing	One thing that Delaney probably wishes he could redo is the ownership of the B1G. Fox has 51%. If we were to own 100%, the B1G would probably always be the richest conference.
18 weeks 2 days ago	They	They would have if those states were close by. Who wouldn't want the financial benefits of two rich and populous states, not to mention talent rich?
18 weeks 3 days ago	Assuming	This sounds like a ploy to get UNLV admitted to the Pac 12, though I'm not sure if the Pac 12 would allow that ever. And isn't that huge screen and ugly track money sinks? Don't they need those areas for premier seating and club suites? How else are they going to get people to pay for a stadium with a decent at best football team?
