Has anyone ever seen them in a room together?

Only Alfred Pennyworth, Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson know for sure, and they post on another site. The more relevant question is which one, Bill or David, is a member of "Men in Tights?"

Back in the day, I enjoyed watching Batman simply to see A. Thaddeus C. Pennyworth (played brilliantly by Alan Napier) in action. Similarly, as a child I was enthralled by the work of Sebastian Cabot (Mr. French of Family Affair fame).

It was challenge as a young lad being an eccentric. But now as I near 60, I have learned I can offer, whilst wearing suspenders, a well-place limerick and a quick reference to Patagonian land mammals so as to make the ladies take pause.

Go into your profile and settings by clicking on your own name and enable the Private Messaging system. Then there are many things which may be discussed such as the reputation system, private jokes, etc.

Some of these hypotheticals can get a little crazy...like "What if Alabama and Notre Dame were awarded NFL expansion franchises?"

There are few things better than when Bruce Wayne and Batman had to be in the same room together, and Alfred dressed up as Batman.

I tolerated Batman and Robin and waited weeks for a Julie Newmar sighting. And watched the Green Hornet regularly for Wende Wagner and to see Bruce Lee.

But I must confess I never lost my crush on Elizabeth Montgomery.

Yes you make more media money, but if Ohio State came to the SEC, which is the premise, they would make even more in the SEC because Ohio State is 19.5% of the B1G's total value and would find the rest of the SEC, which is more balanced in value throughout than the Big 10 accretive to its media value. Ohio State is the top B1G value. That means the rest of you drag their value down.

Now name me the last year when the total sports revenue of the Big 10 exceeded that of the B1G? I'll wait but won't hold my breath because it's been a long time. The SEC averages 5 million most years in total revenue than does the Big 10. You like to pick on media revenue because it is the only sports revenue facet you lead in, that is until last year! You'll lead again for a few and then the SEC is projected to pull ahead.

Now if you want to talk academic endowments and grant money I'll gladly concede. But we are talking sports revenue, so apples to apples. SEC gate, SEC donations, SEC licensing, SEC attendance, and the SEC market impact numbers all exceed that of the B1G.

As Joe Friday would say, "Nothing but the facts Ma'am!"

Forgetting the money for a moment, why on earth would Ohio State want to leave the B1G, where they are the center of the universe, to be just another team that isn’t Alabama? Texas is going tin for a bit a shock when they realize they are no longer special in the SEC, but the increase in revenue will be too much to pass up. The difference in what Ohio State could make in the SEC is negligible, compared to what they will be giving up in the Big Ten.

Because money - they can make more $$ in the SEC by moving all the big brands together. Why did Texas leave the Big 12, USC leave the Pac 12, Maryland leave the ACC - money. Big 10 is too snobby to admit the schools necessary to earn the most money & has too many schools to kick out. Consolidation must happen in the SEC if it is going to happen. Plus Ohio State thinks it can win the SEC.

There are "drags" on potential total money per conference in the SEC too.

So let's look at the 4 JRsec suggested.

If it's about the money, Would the SEC be willing to drop AR, MS state, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky, in order to pick up ND, OH state, Penn state, and Michigan?

If not, why not? If it's all about the money...

But if it's not all about the money, then you also have your answer to why those schools are less-than-likely to join the SEC.

Can you provide an example of a conference kicking out a full member? I am not aware of it ever happening. I see no path for the SEC to kick out a team. Why does that matter?

If you think power is more valuable than money, its fine to have that that opinion, but in the last year Texas, Oklahoma, USC & UCLA all picked money over power. Why would Ohio State pick power over money? Does having power over an athletic conference really get you anything if the conference has sold its soul to Fox & ESPN?

I cannot remember the year, but the Big East kicked out Temple.
