I mean Nebraska has never been academic powerhouse have they?

I cannot wait for first gopher game at Husky stadium. Do we get tickets or just tailgate in the boat and watch from the bay..

IIRC, they had the medical school in Omaha as part of their system in the "calculation" last time. Again, IIRC, it's one of like four BSL-4 labs in the country. CDC, Omaha, the school in Georgia or LA I can never remember, and one other I can't remember.
 
Wow, did the p12 crumble fast. Going with Arizona is both ASU and Utah, officially.

Cal and Stanford need to move quick, as the MW can’t be for them, especially for an athletic powerhouse like Stanford. The MW can’t offer all the sports they do. Let alone the actual schools in the MW. While I’m very biased against BSU, it’s really for reasons more than just hate. It’s not even remotely close to the Bay schools.

Yeah when you look at the stadiums and aquatic center Stanford has, plopping it into a non-major conference would be too far out of place. That said, I'm also not crazy about teams having to fly to the midwest all the damn time for conference games.

I'm seeing 5 bsl-4 currently in operation another 1 expanding to 4 and 7 more planned or under construction. In addition there are national and regional biocontainment labs (national have bsl4 and regional up to 3). Omaha is not listed at all

https://programs.fas.org/bio/research.html

Edit: it may be at 13 or 14 operational currently with 4 level capabilities (one appears to have level 4 but only does level 3). Colorado State in Fort Collins is listed as a 3 on that site but apparently does operate as a 4. Side note: had a friend that worked in that lab at CSU. She did training up to level 3 apparently for her work in animal pathogens (lots of work on high path. avian flu). Told me all about the extensive training and security checks and what not. Wild stuff. Sadly she passed away last year following a motorcycle accident.

Gah. It wasn't BSL4, it was HLCC

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7099915/
Although USAMRIID’s shuttered Slammer was the nation’s only BSL-4-like facility, the current HLCC units at Nebraska, Emory, Bellevue, and the NIH, as well as the majority of European units, can be viewed as BSL-3+ entities.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7099915/

Ok, no merger(was just axin'). Are they going to try a poach a few schools that probably can't afford the exit fee from the conference they're in, to go to a has-been conference that's next TV deal is possibly going to be streaming on Apple TV?

UNMC had always been considered a separate entity from the 3 "traditional" schools in the regents system at the state level. Whether the various ranking/consortium entities lumped it in with Lincoln at some point, I couldn't say.

An affiliate member is a galactic difference in terms of benefits compared to a full membership. TV revenue, academic cooperation, etc.

But Notre Dame is and always has been the crown jewel the conference has sought that defies nearly all guidelines the Big Ten has in place for membership. They would be almost certainly accepted unanimously by every board of regents in the conference.

Here's something very interesting I just read.

We all know that Notre Dame is a quasi, informal member of the ACC. ESPN reported that the contract that ND has with the ACC states that if ND gives up their independence, it can only be if ND formally joins the ACC.

IINM the AZ regents have said UA and ASU are linked at the hip forever. One cannot move without the other.

This is not true according to what i just read. Though the regents would like them to work and move together, their respective presidents are allowed to pursue opportunities individually.

I can't imagine Stanford getting the shaft, they are far too slippery and cynical for that to happen. If they were caught with their pants down, which is really hard to imagine, they can just buy their way in to I assume the Big Ten. The have all the money on earth.

Cal I would worry about, unless they join UCLA in the Big Ten. There has always been love/hate among the Cal illuminati about football.
 
And now apparently Florida State, Miami, North Carolina and Clemson want out of the ACC.

We're going to wind up with the Power 3, aren't we?

How about Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, Duke, Clemson, Notre Dame, Cal, and Stanford bolt to form a new conference entirely? That would be a lot of fun. Or hell, even better have that be the new Pac-10 with OSU and WSU, and keep the Rose Bowl host bid. F-ck you, USC.
