I think there will be a lot more ACC options in play for the Big 12 than people maybe think.., Florida State, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, possibly Miami.

What an overall loser for college athletics this has become. No regional "charm", no conference pride when there are 18+ teams from 2,000 miles away. Who wins? Just the administrators? Both football and BBall championships were the lowest rated in history...could be an anomaly, but I don't think so. I'm sure the fans didn't...well except those hardcore Rutgers fans that will drive to Eugene for a road game. The hwys and airports will surely be packed with WV and UCF fans going to Lubbock and Provo.

A reminder that the Apple offer to the #PacX expires at midnight.

The University of Arizona is closer to all Big 12 schools than it is to the Washington schools and it's a push for Oregon schools.

Reminder re: Washington's current athletic budget issues: "Debt service will increase from $9.8 million per year to $17.7 million per year in FY26 due to the resumption of principal payments on ICA loans."

Tell me how you'd be fulfilling your fiduciary responsibility by signing a GOR and media deal with non-binding flimsy numbers from Apple - let alone the crushing blow to exposure - when you're already on the hook for $8M+ per year more in debt payments in year 2 of whatever deal you sign. And you wonder why UW wants more up front from B1G.

While it is terrible for college sports, the title games this year were an anomaly - everyone knew that Georgia was going to blow out TCU, and I actually had to look up who played UCONN in the title game (San Diego State)

The hoops fan in me would be okay UCONN as a consolation. UCONN, Arizona, and Houston entering the Big 12 is just insane to think about at this juncture.

They have degrees. Just not degrees in common sense.

If Oregon and Washington have an opening to go to the richest conference in terms of a media rights deal, they aren’t staying in a collapsing dumpster fire conference.

It’s been like two years of trying and failing to get a viable new media rights for the Pac 12… the schools with options to get out need to see through this last minute bullshit and leave.

If they couldn’t strike a deal when they had USC/UCLA/CU, not sure how they will now without them. The PAC-12 lost the LA and Denver markets.

Having two other conference mates there also helps with the decision.

It’s happening!


BREAKING: Oregon & Washington joining Big Ten, becoming latest schools to leave Pac-12; putting Pac-12 future in doubt, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ 👀👀👀

Pac 12 is dead! Looks like the Big 10 are till the bad guys. They killed it

Oregon and Washington informed Pac-12 presidents earlier that they plan to accept an invitation from the Big Ten, sources tell me and @DanWetzel. An invitation from the Big Ten is expected soon.
