Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5212677, member: 4613"] Is it really worth more to be associated with those schools rather than Arizona, Utah, Kansas, Baylor? Cal ($3 billion endowment) and Stanford ($38 billion endowment) can overlook differences in conference affiliation and the final configurations are uncertain. Plus they are in the ultra-liberal capital of the USA. One would think they would give travel and global warming at least some consideration, let alone what is in the best interest of the student-athletes. Cal Berkeley especially should just join a conference with the rest of the California state universities. example from Bearinsider.com. They think they need a Big Ten invite or are doomed. "So basically, Knowlton F*ed us over in the most critical junture of our athletic program by keeping Wilcox in this position for so long, that the lifeboat/lifeline that we got will basically mean that we will never see the full revenue share and be an equal standing partner in this conference." "What we do have right now is a landing pad. By 2030 it's once again Big 10 or bust. If we don't make it, we will be begging for a B12 invite at...once again, reduce share for X years. In all honesty though, we probably won't get an invite to the Big 12 and it ends big time football here at Cal." [/QUOTE]
