Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

The article announcing mentions health issues, spending time with family. But he mentions next chapter vs. retirement. He is 62.

It might not be a coincidence the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against USC, Pac12 and NCAA yesterday.
My job used to be fun, but the next 2 years is going to be legal battles I didn't sign up for... time to dip and retire. A little cowardly, but can't blame him really.
 
Suggested name: "Big 12 Forces UCLA and USC to Leave Pac 12, Big Ten Looks on From a Distance"
Yeah, how is that the spin in the media? The B1G just innocently fell into USC and UCLA causing no harm whatsoever. But now the B1G won't move on any other PAC 12 teams until after the Big 12 moves first, so then it's the Big 12 that broke up the PAC 12. I just can't believe how acceptable it is to lie and create false narratives anymore. Has anyone in the media stepped forward and said "Not so fast there, B1G!"???

To the media, it was a brilliant strategic move to take USCLA, so why would they be blamed for what happens next?
 
Interesting to see all the Twitterati (Swaim, etc.) claim to know what's going on, did any of them have Yormark meeting with UConn?

Everyone knows USC and UCLA forced their way into the B10 just like former members of the B12 (Nebraska), ACC (Maryland) and Big East (Rutgers) did. Before that, random independents were doing it (Penn St).

The B10 is a victim here, people. What’s with all the victim blaming? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
 
Ray Anderson's (ASU AD) timeline: July-August media deal, sign GOR, expand. Huh? Before you know it, they'll move the goal post to June 30, 2024, the day before the current deal ends. In terms of the GOR, the new Pac deal will be the shortest in history. I say 4 years. On expansion, wouldn't you expand first, then sign the media deal? The Pac is in serious trouble.

Danny Kanell on Sirius radio today said "for the health of college football", he hopes the Pac breaks up in lieu of signing some low end, crappy, short media deal.
Ha. And Danny Kanell knows what's good for college football, how exactly?

Mhver (a fan favorite around here) has been saying it since early March, when everyone was talking about Gonzaga. He went dark after the Colorado AD called out a tweet as total BS. Also, funny enough Flugar is claiming the talks with Gonzaga have stalled due to issues we can't seem workout with them. As Wilmer says, "realignment Twitter is the best Twitter."
 
Coastal Acedemics Conference.jpg

Seeing this being floated by PAC fans since the news about the Magnificent 7 started. It would certainly put them the #3 conference, but leaves us Pitt/Louisville and leaves us our options with Duke, Syracuse, Wake, Boston, Wazzu, OreSt, and the top Group of 5s. I'd still be very happy with our conference.

Of course PAC fans want that lol.

The PAC leaving out WSU and OSU seems extremely unlikely. This just seems like a pipe dream to me
 
Seems that the B10 got the teams they wanted out of the P12 and are more than happy to wait on the ACC teams a decade down the line instead of taking Oregon and Washington. If the P12 explodes then they will take the other two schools but if you asked them, I would bet most are hoping the P12 can hold on for another 5 to 7 years, putting them closer to the timeline of the GOR in the ACC running out.
