[FootballDrought]

There is a lot at stake, pretty  much trying to define how they will go forward.  The Rose Bowl may be a "big deal" again to the B1G and Pac

And what is the fate of the BIG12? Try and Hang on like the Big East did?

 

I think the most likely scenario is the AAC makes a play for most (all?) of the remaining Big XII teams and hopes that's enough to be considered a Power conference.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the Big XII to poach the top AAC teams?? Maybe that’s just me.

Big East Survivor.  The last teams to 'leave' collected buyouts from the schools that left early.  Since the company is going bust anyway, the only question is do they want to collect severance pay or not?

Exactly.

It doesn’t sound like we are going to hear anything definitive next week. This sounds like they are just getting started....maybe just an official announcement.

Supposedly they are looking at academics too, buts it’s mostly ADs in this group.

Another tweet from Adam (I think) suggested the PAC 12 is driving this thing. I suppose that's fine, but I was really hoping Warren was behind it all. A move of competence, or genius out of him would of been nice to see.

Of course. It makes sense that the weakest conference would be driving it.

That's part of my point. The B1G should easily carry the biggest stick out of those three conferences. If the B1G wanted to, they could probably pick apart both conferences through realignment. Why is Warren not leading here?  I don't know how you get rid of commissioners, but....

So, there are going to say we all like each other a lot.  I we are going to meet at the local burger place for shakes on Friday night and hang out?  Cool....

[GSG]

From what these guys said today, it will be more of a voting bloc to prevent the SEC from changing everything to the way they want

From what the PSU AD said we are not expecting much detail because they don't have any. Funny how Rittenberg hyped it and then backed off.
