It’s great that the WV guys always believe in their school being saved. A third power conference you say?

This guy is smoking crack if he thinks WVU is fine in all of this. WVU will be in similar position as other leftovers after B1G and SEC are done.
Anyone else think its ironic that Notre Dame must consider giving up its independence over the Fourth of July weekend?

That is a Key Tweet to me! He may have some inside knowledge.

There is a chance that ND joining could trigger a series of events where the Big10 takes Stanford and leaves Oregon and Washington out though. It’s all nuts right now. Hearing different things from different sources.

if that happens do you seen oregon and washington joining us in the big12
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 11m
I would think they would but there has yet to be any interest from those 2 schools with B12 from what I’ve been told.

The Big 10 should just bring in all the schools in the Pac 10 as a Western division.

That will never happen because these additions are based on valuation metrics. USC and UCLA moved the needle a lot. Washington and Oregon move the needle a little. No one else does for the amount needed for per school revenue growth.

Stanford getting in would bank on ND making Stanford joining a condition for their joining.

Not my usual source, but a Ohio State insider is saying to pay attention to Georgia Tech. Notre Dame and Georiga Tech have a long history of playing each other. Take this seriously folks. I'm not posting this as a rumor, take it serious.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 7h
After reading the Ohio State insider and the intel from my normal source, I'm leaning towards the Big Ten going to 24.

I repeat, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech ....take it seriously. Very seriously.

One thing to watch for, and this even surprises me, don't be surprised if you see Clemson's profile rise in the eyes of the Big Ten/FOX. Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and sounds like they may want Clemson coming too. That way Notre Dame completes a national schedule.

I feel bad for Washington. 20 years from now people will be asking "why" and not many will remember the details. Houston was once in a conference with Oklahoma and Texas. Not everyone can be a winner. It's a harsh reality of life.

How did USC + UCLA to Big Ten get done so quietly without any national media getting a leak? OSU leaders are friends with leaders at USC and UCLA, which are also connected to Notre Dame. FOX. Warren didn't it up and got it across the finish line.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
All of the signs were there though through the Sports Business Journal (in a public form) about the Big Ten TV deal. I'm amazed that nobody else, besides me, caught onto the numbers. When you ran the numbers, of course Pac 12 schools were going to the big Ten.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
Now we just wait for Notre dame to announce and their most likely partner of Oregon/Stanford. The ACC schools will come, but that is going to take time.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
If I had to put money on the table if the Big Ten will stop at 18, the answer I would provide is YES. I don't see them going to 20 right away. They will, just don't see it happening right now. Notre Dame is the prize and once that is in, you take the partner and go east.

yes, but I'm referring to those that get paid. Wilner had no clue too.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
that is why you don't see Stanford or Oregon saying anything. Their mouths are shut closed. If either of them say anything in the coming days, it's over for them and they will get left behind. It's sad, but reality. There were always going to be some hurt feelings to breakway
TempoNick@tempo_nick · 1h
The question is also whether you want the SEC to take Oregon and Washington? If they took Missouri, they're not going to be as picky as we are. I still say take them.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 58m
Would they take Washington (SEC)? That is a good question.

I am a realignment OG and I remember him on the Scout WVU board. WV has more insiders per capita than any state in the country.

For what it is worth,,,,
Supposed Insider who called out the two conference movement a year ago...
"Hearing that ESPN executives plan to meet with Jim Phillips this week to discuss the way forward for the ACC. The SEC is planning for expansion and ESPN will help facilitate moving the top brands accordingly.
ESPN will present a viable pathway for the leftover ACC schools to not be harmed financially in a way that makes sense for all involved. There is still a decent amount of market value left to restructure media contracts for what will be left of the ACC, Big 12 and PAC after the heavyweights migrate to the B1G and SEC.
Wake Forest, BC, etc. being in a middleweight league is a lot better than crossing ESPN and FOX and getting demoted further down to Sun Belt level payouts. ESPN has enormous contractual and financial leverage to make this happen.
This is still going to take some time to work out and things are still fluid but we are way ahead of the 18 month timetable I posted about months ago."

If true the SEC is about to poach the ACC which would potentially put UCONN in play if/when the ACC decides to replace the lost schools. It does seem rather obvious that a re-shuffled ACC is UCONN's most likely landing spot unless the B1G offers us a half share spot in their league. There are plenty of reasons for ESPN to want UCONN added to the ACC in this tug of war between ESPN and Fox. Top of the list would be to weaken the BIg East again.

Thank you
Withdrawal fee
If UConn decides to leave the Big East, it will have to pay a hefty fee. The terms of the contract state that UConn will be responsible for paying the conference $30 million if it withdraws within the first six years of membership. If the school bails within a three-year period after that, $15 million is owed. After 10 years, UConn would owe $10 million. A withdrawal fee can be split up into four payments, if necessary.

No one can describe what the post-UCLA/USC to the Big 10 world will look like, but everyone is confident of what the next move should be.
