The Murphinator Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah to the Big 12 would make the most sense. 3 Quote Link to comment

I might have to take back the snide comments I made about this guy. He might be exactly right. But, of course, that would mean that he won't have a conference to be commissioner of any more. But, hey, he can always claim that he was right about it! Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I was obviously wrong, but a few years ago I thought the Big 12 was dead and the Pac 12 would become a Big 3 with the B1G and SEC. The ACC is still above the Big 12, but the gap isn't all that large imo. It is going to be interesting to see what the Pac leftovers do. If they raid the MWC and WAC they could have a really good basketball league, but football is dead. Quote Link to comment

I would have thought the same, but the PAC-4 (or whatever the number will be) hasn't seemed to be serious about athletics for a while. Quote Link to comment

I'm beginning to think that the remnants of the Pac 12 join the Mountain West conference after the B1G and Big 12 expand and take many of the teams. If that's 4 teams, I think that would give them a 16 team football conference. Quote Link to comment

Late night games and probably some insane 8am/9am kickoffs. Anything to get some coin 1 Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I still think that we will add some ACC schools before any other Pac schools. FSU is really pushing to leave and wants to join the B1G, along with GT, Miami and UNC. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Do we think that eventually everything will reverse to what makes geographic/historical sense? I think the balloon of huge TV deals will burst one day. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Buckle up folks…rumors are showing Florida State, Clemson, Oregon, and Washington to the B1G as soon as next week: https://athlonsports.com/college-football/big-ten-expansion-rumors-clemson-florida-state-oregon-washington 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Loebarth Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 ACC part won't happen. (at least not soon.) Oregon is not liked by either USC or UCLA and as such those schools won't joyously accept that invite according to 1620 this morning. Also, Oregon isn't even a top 150 accredited academic institute so there's that too. Washington I can see but Oregon is, imo, a no. Still believe the next group is the "all in" group of: Washington, Stanford from the PAC UNC, Miami, Notre Dame, Virginia (or Pitt) from the ACC Maybe to reach 24, FSU and Pittsburgh (or Virginia) Quote Link to comment

Loebarth Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The Atlanta market would be very nice to have and Nebraska has been working that market hard in recruiting. Hoping you're right @Lorewarn 1 Quote Link to comment
