It is a done deal. This stuff isn't leaked until it is 100% guaranteed.

I feel like this has to be the first domino of several more to fall in the coming weeks. The PAC 12 has looked like one jenga block away from collapse for the past year.

They have to pray they get a B1G invite or I think they'll go independent.
The Ivy League can always expand and have a western league to suck at sports.

Malcor,

If you take umbrage with my theories, come out and debate them .

The Ivy League isn't expanding and Cal/Stanford aren't dropping their football to the FCS level.

It’s weird that Oklahoma and Texas get to have a vote in this process, considering they will be in a competing conference in 12 months.

Wouldn't they just vote know to throw a wrench into the Big 12?

After all that shit a decade ago, I’m glad the 12 is on the right side of it today.

Correct, but what does GT bring? I could see if UGA wasn't already in the SEC as GT could probably bring in the state of Georgia and Atlanta.

It looks to me like UC Berkeley is in for a rough ride. Those stadium renovations did nothing for them financially.

The university had to take on $230m of the Cal athletics debt back in 2018.


Quote:

The first involves hiring Collegiate Sports Associates, or CSA, a sports consulting and search firm, to assist Cal Athletics with cutting costs and generating revenue. Led by Bradley Bates, CSA vice president of consulting and former Boston College athletic director, the firm’s services will cost the campus $75,000 plus expenses — costs that will be covered by private donors.

Marts & Lundy, a philanthropy consultant, will review Cal’s fundraising as the second part of this plan. The third and final step is a peer review group composed of two current or former athletic directors, a fundraiser, a financial specialist and a Title IX expert.

Despite the steps, UC Berkeley and the athletic department may need a century to pay off the debt. The annual payments will be $18 million per year until 2032 before leaping to $26 million per year. The peak will arrive in 2039 at $37 million per year, and Cal’s loan extends to 2112, according to Bloomberg.

“The easy thing to do is to let athletics proceed with a budget that looks like there’s a minimal investment from the campus, run this continuing deficit and then have a bailout at the end of the year,” Christ said.
They’re kinda ****ed.

The PAC-12 was in huge trouble when USC and UCLA decided to jump ship. They lost their most prestigious FB program and BB program. Hard to absorb those losses when geographically they have no place to expand. At least the Big-12 and Big-10 can expand east and west relatively easily. Who is still out there that would bring any value to the Pac-12? Should be interesting to see if they survive this.

Woogieman 07-27-2023 08:47 AM
Screw Colorado...if you are the big 10, aren't you going after Oregon and Washington? Highly unlikely get, but your horrible footprint already goes from WV to Utah, so why not? Grab Cal and Stanford too to even out the rummies in Cincinnati and Houston. What an utter cluster**** Texas has caused.

UT & OU was left out of this vote! Their vote is not valid since in 2024 they will be in a competing conference
