While it was seem long to me -I was be pleasantly surprised to win two more.games this year- how long it will take.to rebound will depend.in large measure on the hire, how the recruits respond, and the portal. Much easier to turn a program around quickly now.

10 years, minimum.
This is not the Big Ten( in numbers) anymore.  And there a lot of more appealing places to use the portal.

Depends on the hire. Schools have rebounded quickly from bad situations.

Why is that a problem? They were huge programs before, and they still are. They have access to Big Whatever recruiting markets and we have access to theirs. The right hire, the right recruiters and the program can turn around. Wrong hire and we are Illinois.

Because those four will now be part of the Big Ten Tv contracts with three major networks  and the Big Ten Network, leading to more TV exposure and more TV revenue.

Yes, but MSU will also have increased exposure in other markets as well,.particular on the left coast. That was the idea of expansion.

My attempts to fix formatting have made it worse.

Anyway, the Big Whatever has released its in conference scheduling for the next five years, including announcing 12 protected match ups based on traditional geographic and trophy rivalries. What strikes me as odd is that none of the rivalries involve the Penn State. OK, I can see shelving the Land Grant Trophy game - we do not deserve it and it is such an ugly trophy - but why did the Big Whatever not protect the the PSU v the game? I would think the broadcast partners would demand that. But then, they do not have the and USC playing for two years, so they may not be as beholden to ratings concerns as I thought.

Fucking cheaters should be forced to forfeit every game this year, including the ones they have not played. Or at least this Saturdays game.

Came over to Sports to post that but of course the Michigander has it covered.  Not really that transgressive if it was just a trivia quiz, but the timing was horrible.
