Ideas to raise money in a new conference:

  • Ads on the field
  • Constant plugs - "The Dillons offense was great today.  It really helped out the Sonic defensive stand.  We really got lucky with the KIOGA special teams unit returned that kick for a TD in the final seconds.
  • Telethons
  • A charity single staring the most cost effective musicians and celebrities we can find.  Maybe Huggs can loan us Lachey, and I think Huey Lewis probably needs cash.

Other ideas?

The Black Eyed Peas are pretty EMAW aren't they?  We could try and get them?

Purple turf?

Add that.

Bake sales?  Call Hall ice cream sales?  Start charging for the free pie at the Leadership Center place?

We could have a nut fry on the field following all of our games.

God, I dream of roadies to SEC locales to follow KSU.  I would probably take three months off to just RV down there.

I totally forgot about the SEC tailgate aspect of this all!

 :love:

If this were true (and I'm not saying it is), we should build a statue of Bob Huggins in front of Hale Library and name it "The Savior of Kansas State University".

Would look even better if it's an action pose of him in a windbreaker while holding a can of Miller Lite.

who are you kidding with Huggins drinking a light beer?  unless you meant it as more of an homage to K-State/Aggieville too.

so what are we going to do with our payout money?  I say something for the equestrian and rowing teams.

do we know for sure that we'll get it? how many members does it take to dissolve the league? add the fact that they are all smarter and better looking than we are and i doubt we get anything. if we do, i say big lazy river connecting aggieville to campus to bsfs and ood. :twocents:
  :love:

Maybe for Farmaggedon II, we team up with the Havs's, drive our John Deeres, Case IHs and Olivers to Lincoln and have a tractor pull with some of the statues there.  :driving:

All comes down to how likely a worst case scenario is in Notre Dame's eyes.

The negotiation is simple.

Delany: Join.

ND: No.

Delany: Join or our football teams won't play you any more, and we'll steal as many schools from the Big East as necessary until it falls apart.

ND: We'll join a different conference.

Delany: We'll have four 16 team conferences, start our own BCS, and we will leave you out.  Enjoy playing the service academies on MSNBC.

ND: Okay, where do we sign?

Yup. And the Big 10 has ND by the balls right now. Which is why I said earlier that NUBB letting it slip that they would go to the Big Ten actually does more to keep them out than in.

Maybe Notre Dame has been on the phone with the four schools about to get left out in the Big 12. If we pooled our money together, we could offer Notre Dame a nice $80 million bribe to join our new conference.






Not being serious, of course.

ND: Let's just be friends.

Big 10: hahah ohh okay yeah that's cool.. maybe some day you'll get drunk and make a mistake with us.  We can still hang out, right?

In all fairness, I think Texas is bluffing.  Somewhat.

I think NU is bluffing.  Somewhat.

I think MU is scrambling to get an invite that will never come.

Colorado is scrambling to find money that's never going to be there.

I think everyone is in a panic over something that may end as soon as Notre Dame finally joins a conference.

And all this pseudo bluff/ no bluff is helping push Notre Dame closer to the Big Ten

You're way to harsh on the guy . . . he said in another interview with our buddy KR that they're not just sitting there and hoping and doing nothing else.   Come on, the guy doesn't know what is and isn't speculation??   As one of our newest members said who supposedly was in a meeting with a athletic department GA . . . there's a lot more speculation going on than there is reality.

Do you know how much fodder we have to make fun of MU, NUBB, CU and KU with if nothing ultimately happens? Bout as much as there is oil in the gulf, that's how much.

This.


Lots of media peeps have called Nebraska the lynchpin of the whole Big 12 implosion, but  really Notre Dame can put an end to all of this.  The question is does Nubb have the balls to make a move before Notre Dame does something?

The answer is Nubb can't make a move before Notre Dame decides.

If Notre Dame goes they are going to stop the Big 10 at 12. No Nubb. Hence the reason that there's been nothing from the Big Ten to officially invite them yet. And barely anything to say they are even in consideration.
