I’m looking forward to Lincoln Riley getting clobbered by Wisconsin, Michigan, and OhSt. That was horrible how he played that Oklahoma program.

They don't realize that they could actually rake in a lot more money by promoting track and cross country, since track is the biggest high school sport in the nation. "Hey track runners, come to the B1G, look at the great opportunities here..." That would help make the conference extremely popular across the country and around the world.
Haha! You win funniest post of the day!

Travel nightmare for UCLA and USC team sports, but a big payday for the conference with the BigTen Network and TV deals with ESPN and ABC.
Wow. This is pretty surprising. I wonder how those teams will like playing in Ann Arbor in November.
No different than playing in Boulder or Salt Lake City in November. Lol.

So......now the report is that Washington & Oregon have basically been told "not interested" by the Big 10 and that Notre Dame is still pending?
CU & Notre Dame are looking at the Big 10. There's also some speculation that the SEC is interested in Clemson & North Carolina. Of course, Texas & Oklahoma are joining the SEC in 2025, which will completely decimate the Big-12.
The PAC-12 needs to do everything possible to keep CU in the conference. To replace USC & UCLA, they could add independent BYU, which has first class football facilities & routinely sells out Lavelle Edwards stadium (65,000). And either Boise St or San Diego St could round out the 2nd replacement. SDSU would keep a school in the Southern Cal market.

Teams in L.A. are tired of having kids poached by piss hole towns. Look for Long Beach State, UCSB, UCI, UCSD, and UCR to re-start their football programs and join the PAC or BIG.

Big 10 just leveraged $1B annually for media rights

“I think the Pac-12 has been clumsy and inconsistent on the PR front. Fans are frustrated and battling negotiation fatigue. Media are over it, too. The only thing that matters now is the actual deal. As I wrote in an update this week, I don’t expect news in April. My eyes are on May and June. High-level sources continue to tell me the Pac-12 believes it will be in range (or exceed) the $31.6 million per year distribution that the Big 12 negotiated for its members. Let’s see where this lands.” ( to John Canzano Oregon 3p-6p @750theGame, @FoxSportsEugene, @KSKRTheScore, @960Sports )11 -

The Big10 would take ND in a heart beat (as would the ACC as a full member), but while CU might be interested in the Big 10 there is nothing to indicate the interest is mutual. CU would be more likely to jump to the Big12 if it jumps at all, but the money likely would not be that different from what the PAC12 ends up with.
But alas ND seems to have no interest in joining a conference for football and with the new playoff expansion it has a path to making it pretty much every year.
The SEC might be interested in Clemson or UNC (or FSU), but the grant of rights for the media money (barring it being tossed on legal grounds) makes such a move impossible for another decade or so.
BYU has already agreed to join the Big12.
San Diego State might be added but Boise really does not bring anything to the table. Small media market, not a very highly rated academic school (SDSU has that issue as weill).This post was edited 1 minute after it was posted. Reason provided: Added to comment31 -
N D has been approached by Big 10 for decades, more than decades. N D historically does not want to be treated like just another university, N D historically wants special treatment.

Pac 12 will be no more wrote:
Pac 12 will break up. Pac 12 cannot survive without usc & ucla
Weird. Because San Diego State's recent success in Basketball and Baseball has it as a leading candidate of being absorbed into the Pac12

The success of one's baseball team does not matter one iota in determining if it will get into the PAC12. Football is the driver here even way more than basketball.
