Nexus Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Nebraska will play @ Tennessee in 2017. So I take it we'll be scheduling a home game against a Pac-12 team that year? Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 The Big Ten and Pacific-12 are extending their partnership well beyond the Rose Bowl, announcing Wednesday that they'll step up interconference scheduling, cross-promote on their respective television networks and even set up academic and cultural exchanges.

Been doing that for years with the SoCon. http://twitter.com/slmandel Hahaha that's funny right there. So what does this mean exactly? I haven't read anything else on it so don't attack me for being an idiot but is this just a week of Pac-12/Big 10 Matchups kind of like the Big Ten - ACC challenge or is it more like a superconference?

It'll be an annual partnership in terms of scheduling, similar to that of the B1G/ACC challenge, except they'll be televising them on the B1G and Pac-12 Networks, since both are co-partnered by FOX. This is a FOX motivated business move if I had to guess. Quote Link to comment

Ohio State - USC Michigan - Oregon Wisconsin - Stanford Nebraska - Washington (sorry I had to) Penn State - California Michigan State - Arizona State Iowa - Utah Illinois - Arizona Northwestern - Oregon State Indiana - UCLA Purdue - Washington State Minnesota- Colorado Quote Link to comment

However they chose to do it I think we'll whip them pretty good...we have more depth but what do I know. Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Bottom line: More inventory for Pac-12/B10. The conferences have barely scratched the surface of their networks' worth. Look the hell out. LINK Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 According to NY Times they'll likely match up teams of similar strength against each other in football. This rules out playing every team in a 12 year period. Quote Link to comment
