Oregon and Washington In Big Ten Officially

[CL82]

ACC should have grabbed all the BE football schools when they had the chance

Well they pretty much did except for us Rutgers and Temple.

Because if it makes them 1 penny richer on their balance sheet, they do not care.

That’s all it’s about. The product could be 10x worse, but it’ll make them richer not giving the ncaa and the lesser schools their shares. Some of those schools that @superjohn named will make into the super conferences anyways, like UNC.

In 14 years? Fishy and pretty much everyone else on this board has told me the GOR is ironclad.

The insane addition of UCF by the Big 12 looks more and more insane as all of this unfolds.

Colorado leadership said during their Press Conference that part of the appeal of the Big 12 was access to Texas and Florida.

It was suggested at the time that they add Louisville, Connecticut and Cincinnati and their leadership passed on it.

We heard the same exact thing about USF years ago. UCF is a huge school but it's basically an online school. No matter how hard they try and polish that turd it's still a turd.

And I want our football team to flush that turd down the toilet Z

 

[cttxus]

It’s over.

 

[superjohn]

All these big name schools the Big 10 keeps adding and they still won't win any national championships in football and basketball.

Correction

It was suggested at the time that they add Louisville, Connecticut and Cincinnati and their leadership passed on it.

But UConn wasn't suggested by ESPN.

Or so I gather from BC's AD's comments about.......

"We always keep our television partners close to us,’’ he said. "You don’t get extra money for basketball. It’s 85 percent football money. TV - ESPN - is the one who told us what to do. This was football; it had nothing to do with basketball.’’

No school deserved that luck less. Massively unworthy.

He was lying

Bad and reactive move. They could have had FSU.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Big ten talking about going to 20. Article suggests Stanford and Cal. Why not Stanford and UConn. Time to get on the horn.

Cal is highly regarded academically and generates a lot of research dollars, which certain B1G presidents do care about. Throw in a 'better' football brand and California politics, UConn has no shot competing for a B1G slot against them.

Why is adding the largest school in Florida insane? Cincinnati is another story.

In 2036.

 

[superjohn]

Why is adding the largest school in Florida insane? Cincinnati is another story.

Because it's an online/commuter school people don't care about.

IF FSU finds a way out of the GOR it’s not to go to the B12

 

[hoopsfan22]

If there's one thing UCF has been good at over the last decade or so it's being in the right place at the right time. I think this will be their 4th conference in the last 20 years. They were in C-USA just a decade ago before moving up to the AAC and now to a P5 in the Big 12. They move around quite often it seems. Maybe they should rename the team from the Knights to the Temporaries.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Rose Bowl matchups now take a turn to the potentially very weird.

Tie (and protect) the Rose Bowl and all of its events to the B1G Conference championship? After all, its basically the B1G and PAC now.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Why would Big 10 and Big 12 want to overload their conferences with so many west coast schools? Are they not now national conferences?There’s a reason that the PAC is folding. Take 3 or 4 and add UConn.

Remember Rule #1
