NCAA vs Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma.

This Supreme Court Case in 1984 kicked off the modern era of realignment based on conferences wanting to add to their football television money. When conferences started negotiating their own television deals, they then started looking for additional members to maximize their deals.

Penn State may have been one of the first moves, but it was done because of this court decision and the Big Ten wanting to make more television money.

Conferences are a draw to recruits, more so than the ND brand these days. -- wwhokie1 09/09/2017 12:34PM

Don't think it is conferences per se -- RTFC 09/10/2017 3:08PM

I think it's more coaching misses than conference realignment. -- reestuart 09/07/2017 1:28PM

ND is really not going to do that -- TerryD 09/07/2017 4:59PM
