You are correct, I don't want that. I want regional conferences based on geographical long established rivalries, but the Big 8 is not coming back.

Kansa Football is a bottom feeder to any respectable football conference. They do not increase the strength of the conference or bring additional revenue opportunities the conference can capture. So while I don't want it, it may also be a case that power football conferences do not want Kansas.

At that point the Kansa football team becomes a cost to the school rather than revenue generating. The Kansas basketball brand still mints money and the Big East becomes their most attractive option going forward.

PAC-12 letting Stanford have to much power cost them in the end. Stanford was the vote against adding Texas.

Did anyone even know USC was even being considered for the B1G til today? So random

Heh

It always made financial sense. You have FOX Sports, which is based in LA, they are the Big 10's TV partner. While not talked about, it's easy to see how it happened. Just think of the games Fox will get out of this deal.

USC & UCLA move to Big Ten should be completed by Friday & Big Ten may not stop at 16, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Big 12 may get aggressive & look to add Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado & Utah. “We’re headed to super conferences,” source said

https://t.co/um8DBJVJ9s

I think the Big 12 is pretty stable. Adding schools makes a lot of sense.

Have to think Oregon and Washington are calling the Big Ten. Not sure they would be the top of the list for the B1G

When Mizzouche finds out Kansas is coming to the SEC

Realignment has been going on for a decade and it's always been impressive how KU fans interject themselves despite not being wanted by either of the 2 big conferences

We’ve been too busy starring in “One Shining Moment”

Nobody cares about basketball if they did you wouldn't be in the table scrap conference

That just might be true. I know something that is undeniably true though

They'll be able to offer Tomlin 150 million and finally get a good coach

Source: USC, UCLA could top 100m annually in media rights in the Big Ten

Other than the 51 million people who just watched KUs tourney games.

They’re giving frost a lifetime contract

51 million LMAO

"Being wanted" has mostly translated to "becoming a bottom feeder in a different conference".

Not sure why any school that's moved around would brag at this point in terms of results on the field/court..... bUt NoW i'M iN tHe pOpUlAr CoNfErEnCe!

Big 12 was second best football Sagarin conf/division behind only the SEC-west

I’d love to go Big 10 so we would have easier competition

U cant possibly believe this. Maybe one season our of 20. But the big 12 has been horribad in football for over a decade now. Now no Texas or ou. Gl with that

They don't want you

I don’t vaiue opinions only facts. Big 12 has been ranked higher in Sagarin that both BIG divisions the last 6 years except for 2018 when they were between them

Texas hasn’t done squat in years bro. Anyone tell you that?

We're still here buddy.

Guess who got left with their pants down and holding their dicks?

The Pac 12.

I’m guessing the Big12 adds Arizona, Arizona St, Colorado, and Utah(assuming the B1G adds a few more PAC). Or who knows, the Big12 gets lucky and gets Oregon and Washington too. Or Stanford and Cal.

Fox runs the B1G and would likely be a Big12 media partner, while ESPN has the SEC and ACC. It’s a P4, with ESPN and Fox being the P2 against each other.

Remember when Nebraska was relevant in literally anything

Is that some kind of XXX pride month video, typical KU stuff

Whooeee booyyyyyy more like GAY U amirite

A good 10 years before Kansas' last Orange Bowl victory, IIRC.

I think UW and UO are going to go with USC and UCLA, that's what I would guess on.

If that happens, then Big12 could offer an invite to Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado (ugh), and Utah (all are in the Mountain Time Zone).

I don't think any team in California is worth a damn, outside of USC and UCLA.

The 90's were a good time for Nebraska.

USC and ucla are dumb as hell

Travel will kill them

Lmao

Epic roast just epic

Yeah if true I don't see what other options Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado have....or even Oregon and Washington.

Big 12 might have to add more.

stunned I tell you--stunned.

This is what happens when I am not on the computer all day and leave town.

You are an oddball. KU & UK fans are just alike.

This makes life a lot tougher for Iowa.


Almost takes Minnesota out of the Big ten race all together.
But PJ will just say everyone poops. (****ing egomaniac)

Teams will have to travel there too. The billion dollars split among 16 schools and being able to recruit the west coast certainly outweighs all of that

Ah, I see your mistake. Moo doesn't know what winning looks or feels like.

You talking about the 5* kid you guys got today? Congrats Iowa has really been crushing it with recruiting lately

That certainly changes things.
Don’t like it, but oh well.

The only travel that’s problematic will be Basketball.

Maybe. But it may also cause less viewers during live primetime if say Ohio State has to go to USC and play at a 7:00pm PST game. That's 10:00pm in Ohio.

But if they go towards the NFL model and place that game at 3:20pm or a 6:00pm time frame, that'd probably work.

Plus with all that milage, got to imagine that might increase USC's and UCLA's travel budget?

Lots of unknown factors at this moment.

didnt know about that either. I was outside all day. Painting parts of the new deck. then traveled to the cabin.

music on. no news

Man, that just seems like a really dumb fit for them.

UCLA adds nothing and USC is going to suffer a lot with other Big 10 programs having more stake in their area. They really needed a weak PAC to continue showing some form of relevance.

but it adds tv money to the Big 10

And you know, like mens rowing.

Why no Rutgers on that graphic?

Not that anyone cares but all of the current B10 schools have wrestling (which is lacking in CA at the D1 level).

Personally, really hope those two join and add wrestling since Cali has a ton of great recruits and the other D1 programs there are not doing so hot.

UCLA brings in Jack shit, mostly. The move would have made more sense if USC was being paired with the Ducks or Huskies. To really keep the bar moving forward now they need to probably go through and remove some waste in that conference.

At this point the best move forward for the PAC and BIG 12 is to merge into the BIGPAC. The overall team count and variety of programs would probably keep them in the game and in front of the ACC.

But now, comcast/other cable companies need to carry big ten network and pay the fee.

cha ching

Miami would prefer the Big 10.

I could see the SEC going after North Carolina & Virginia…maybe Clemson & Florida State.

Lot more car rides from Lincoln holding a L for you

Is beating an Al Golden-coached team the highlight of Nebraska football during the past 10 years?

On a serious note, when do Iowa State and Kansas state get kicked to the curb? That has to be coming, no?

Unwittingly you made a good point.

I’ve long wondered why redundancies like NW, Purdue, Miss State, Vandy don’t either quit or get the boot. They can’t compete and they are small market welfare babies supported by real producers

Chicago quit the Big 10, Tulane quit the SEC. Is a university goal to educate or to take welfare checks to support no-hope athletic departments?

It’s all about LA and it dwarfs whatever Ore-Wash brings. Also UCLA is a premier brand. They have a top 3 apparel deal and those companies know branding

Plus and I must say seeing them in two FF….by FAR the best looking women I’ve ever seen in person in their cheer squad. It’s a bucket list item seeing them walk past you

At the Iowa-Minnesota game--before Nebraska was admitted.

the marching band has all the big ten member flags on the field....Nebraska was way off to the edge. It was funny and cool at the same time.


It will be weird to see USC and UCLA in that same position next fall.

What does this do to bowl alignment? Would love to know what the rose Bowl Committee said.
Will this be another move towards a bigger playoff system?

A writer here called the new league "the big tent"

It was a package deal as the Big 10 needed to take UCLA to get USC.

And the benefits of joining the Big 10 for USC… access to what will likely be the richest TV contract in college sports history and part of what will be one of the two new super power conferences (Big 10 and SEC) will outweigh any added recruiting competition in SoCal.

UCLA and USC are a package deal, and UCLA has a massive fanbase. UCLA is also the #1 public university according to US News so it adds to the academic prestige.

Yeah…if your school isn’t in the Big 10(NFC) or the SEC(AFC) you are screwed.

Man I would hate to be a fan of one of those schools.

Ya, but probably still not as bad as being a fan of a completely uncompetitive and irrelevant school, though.

Mizzouche might be getting the boot:

Addition and subtraction?

Remember the Big 12 almost going away last year? That was heartless, yes. Now, consider a similar scenario if, say, the SEC wanted to make room for the likes of Clemson or Miami

Would it simply eject a couple of underperforming schools? Would the Big Ten consider doing the same if it had more prominent replacements lined up?

One conference official reminded me that schools commit to a conference, not the other way around.

So, out with Vanderbilt and Missouri, in with Clemson and Miami? Out with Indiana and Purdue, in with Oregon and Washington?

The Big East booted Temple in 2001 for underperformance. Kansas State was on the verge of dropping football -- if the Big Eight didn't drop it first -- before Bill Snyder arrived in 1989.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...g-started/amp/

mu is the Kansas state of the sec. Only not as good at football. So maybe the Iowa state

Missouri brings way more than Miss St and South Carolina (Vandy too clearly).

They would never have let them in if they didn’t see the value in adding the state of Missouri to the SEC footprint.

Yeah, I don't see them kicking Mizzou out. Probably at least a little dissatisfied with how the athletics have stagnated, though. Hopefully Drinkwitz and Gates can turn this shit around.

What does Mizzou bring exactly? Losing basketball and football programs?

Hilarious, mind-boggling losses for the purpose of schadenfreude

Iowa State has been pretty good at football recently. Better than Mizzou or KSU.

Champ titles

Ah, practice games.

$$$

It’s not necessarily who is winning right now that counts. It’s TV ratings and ceilings that the B1G and SEC are looking at in adding.

Especially when the BigTen and SEC decide to just have their own 12 team playoff.

Really looking forward to us getting the whole "KU sucks at football!1!11!" and "Mizzou sucks at everything!11!!1" conversation going again.

Whatever empty suit is in charge in Big XII land needs to figure out how to get to 20 teams by Tuesday

12 years later, still being told which sport we should care about and how all other conferences are STILL imminently ****ed.

Shit, all these years later I sure wish Kansas had become even a larger doormat for football and a bottom feeder basketball team!

Hearing that Oregon and Washington have both applied to join the BigTen
