They call it a ‘soft push.’ ” Flugaur’s “I am a nobody” video about USC calling the Big Ten came off more like a hard shove at Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren, who roiled stakeholders across the conference footprint when the league canceled the 2020 season because of the pandemic before later reversing course with an abridged schedule under immense pressure to play on. However you want to phrase it, there’s still that pressure, that proxy war between ESPN and Fox, and the Big Ten presidents want Notre Dame, they want Stanford, and we think that’s going to happen.” — Greg Flugaur, on growing consolidation in college football “BTM described that the leak came from Los Angeles,” Flugaur says. “USC is recruiting Notre Dame into Big Ten,” Flugaur tweeted, quoting BTM directly. pic.twitter.com/O5KLVvVa2L — Greg Flugaur July 1, 2022 Amid the BTM barrage, Flugaur tweeted a photo of a golden statue of Mother Mary and said, “Kevin Warren to Mary …” with a link to a YouTube video of a Guns N’ Roses song called “Patience.” The Big Ten announced its massive new media rights package Thursday without Notre Dame being a part of it.
