Washington & Oregon officially to Big 10

ND makes them money by filling up their stadiums. For instance, when ND plays at Ross Ade or Spartan Stadium, the places sell out. Not so when the Boilermakers or Spratans host Illinois, Rutgers, etc. Plus virtually every school jacks up the ticket prices when ND comes to visit.

Great give and take between you and bluehair666.
Both make excellent points

yeah, no doubt that ND is a big deal when they play a road game...the crazy tv money has seemingly taken over and made gate receipts almost meaningless..sure, crap teams would love to have ND come into their stadium, but monetarily, it's not what it was years ago..not to mention that BigTen schools take their marching orders from Fox..

I don't see this happening. ND turns on TV sets. Schools are not going to stop scheduling ND because they know having ND on the schedule brings in money and more TV viewers

ND "turns on TV sets" more than some. Less than others.

2022 average per week TV rating in millions:

Ohio State	5.80
Alabama	5.11
Michigan	4.37
Tennessee	4.13
Georgia	3.50
Notre Dame	3.30
LSU	3.22
Texas	3.06
Penn State	3.05

Those numbers usually only reflect the nationally televised games. Ratings on channels like the BTN are so low that they do not even disclose them.

The muppets watching Big are asleep mid way through the first half.

That would mean that the Big Ten teams' numbers are actually underestimated. Story checks out.
