Latest expansion rumor…

Gotta love Colorado, pre-emptive strike to a not so great landing spot.

Left the Big 12 for the PAC, then Nebraska goes to the B1G and Missouri and A&M go to the SEC.

Doesn't matter a whole lot the 12 team playoff is only for the 24 and 25 season, then it will be reworked.

I would imagine it doesn't go below 12 teams again though.

I can't imagine if the conference went to 24 teams and the playoff is at least 12 teams that the conference championship games stick around. They can make it up to TV with playoff games.

Depends on tv. Fox would rather show a three game B1G playoff and a college super bowl every other year rather than have ESPN have 6 playoff games. This isn't B1G vs SEC, this is Fox vs Disney.

Yeah that might be how it ends up but I think that's farther down the road.

Monumental, historical day for Oregon and Washington.
But let's not get carried away. There are other priorities in life.

(These are screen shots of the zoom meeting of the Regents meeting where Oregon voted to join the B1G.)

And here you have it.

Oregon, Washington join Big Ten: Programs depart Pac-12 in 2024 after serving as charter members since 1915

The Ducks and Huskies exiting the Pac-12 might be a death knell for the conference

No more big rumors, guys. ORWA to B1G and the rest of the rumored PAC schools to the Big 12.

2024 will be something to watch.

Oregon and Washington essentially knifed the entire conference in the back.

LOL, any team in that conference was hoping to do the same. PAC might have a complaint against USC/UCLAbia, but every team in that conference was looking for a life line after that happened.

They only have themselves to blame. If they wanted to survive they should have gotten Texas and OU, they screwed that up because Cal didn't want a religious based school in Baylor. Well welcome to the MWC.

Ultimately, this wasn’t B1G, Big 12, or any school’s fault; it was the PAC’s terrible leadership over the last 15 years that ended the conference.

Kill or be killed. They had a chance to finish the Big 12 and that cost them big time.

The B1G knifed them in the back when the B1G took SC and UCLAbia. But they were stupid to put themselves in a position to be knifed in the back.

The conference was effectively in hospice after those two joined the B1G.

I'm still hoping the B1G takes either Stanford or Cal or both so we can volunteer to play the Cali schools every year seeing as how we are closer than everyone else. We need as many strong recruiting pipelines as we can get, and a couple annual trips to Cali would position us well there. Plus, we'd likely average 3 wins out of the group of 4 on an annual basis. I really don't give a shit that their fans aren't die-hards. Lots of former Nebraskans in California who would buy those tickets when the Huskers came to town

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

When the dust finally settles and we have two leagues of 24-30 teams each, the 30 for 30 on this is going to be fucking epic. It’ll cover a 20 year period from 2009-2029. And it’ll be like 3 parts that are 2 hours each. I can’t wait.

Let’s not forget about the Big East’s destruction at the hands of the ACC. Which was back in 2004. Every conference has been a predator in this process at some point in time. It’s that some have been better than others.

What we have here is the war of northern aggression 2. The first super conference to succeed from the NCAA and do their own playoff—damn the SEC—is going to be the one that changes the game in terms of revenue, blocks the other conferences from revenue share, and is going to pluck a school or two from the other. It’s inevitable at this point and the conference that is afraid of that kind of change, or the “cultural fit” of it all, is going to be left out.

It'll be interesting, when the current round of media deals expire, if one conference can get a substantially larger deal than the other. What happens when Texas looks up and sees Buttgers out earning them?
