hey now, pete is all yours. reerun, sure, but you don't get to throw pete into the mix.

They got a point with the easy travel schedule.

Yes, USC and UCLA have more money, but you do have to wonder if the future non football and non basketball athletes might consider schools with easier travel.

This really sucks for the teams left behind. You guys can give each other as much shit as shit as you want, but this is not a good thing.

Give 5-10 years as cable tv continues to collapse and a lot of people in this thread crowing right now are gonna find their teams on the outside looking in.

It's really tough to know what the future holds here. With streaming being revealed as a complete profit sink for virtually every company it's going to be interesting to see where the market goes next. The fact that the Pac 12 owner was trying to sell potential profits on the Apple deal if 5 MILLION people signed up (NFL Sunday Ticket has 2.4 million subscribers total) it quickly reveals how streaming has a profit problem for large corps compared to traditional models.

The Florida Tech Citronauts

San Diego State has that massive exit fee from the Mountain West and Oregon State adds minimal value.

Dont do it. Focus on ACC schools

The only crowing I'm doing is saying I'm glad that it's the PAC12 falling apart not the Big12.

No, I'm not thrilled.

I'd rather go back to the original Big12, but that ain't happening.

Here's another reason why climate change is bullshit.

Academia, the loudest voices about climate change, have sanctioned these idiotic super conferences where Olympic sports and women's soccer are going to travel four to five time zones in a jet airplane all for the almighty dollar.

What's their carbon footprint going to be?

Universities have no room to stand upon critiquing the actions of an oil company. They're no different.

It's all about the dollar.

I think the ACC disbanding is a ways off

But I do see your poing. 1 reason get some more east coast teans for Cincy WV and UCF.

But it looks like the Zags will be joining sometime for basketball

SDSU would be a good addition.

But how big is too big?

Lives in Olathe. He's your problem!

The big 8 has to be one of the most changed conferences ever. (not being mean)

Then I think of the the Missouri Valley conference.
