Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[PickSix]

No rebuttal tweets from Colorado AD Rick George, which would have happened by now if this wasn't legit.

This is the guy who shot down mHver tweets for crying out loud.

 

[Drew0311]

Crazy how years ago the pac was going to take down the big 12 and now the big 12 is taking them down

Oregon State?

BY is not dumb enough to accept a program that contributes nothing to the overall value. Wonder if OU or UW sees the writing on the wall that a B1G invitation is not coming.

 

[Cyched]

Denver alumni group is pretty active. Hoping/expecting we can put together a good gathering when the Clones make their return to Boulder.

 

[CloneJD]

Buffs are returning to the Big 12 and will announce soon. And no I don't have proof, but go ahead and mark it down friends.

Pope called it . . .

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm all the way in on a trip to Boulder.

 

[ClonerJams]

I bet the other is Utah. They're seeing the writing writing on the wall.

Give credit where credit is due the B1G stole the top 2 value teams to make this house of cards unstable. I'm surprised Oregon wasn't worth more.

 

[cyfan92]

I have multiple friends in Denver, this is Awesome!

RMNP on Friday and Campbell beating Prime on Saturday. Sign me up

The tweet says beyond the four corner schools.

According to Scheers tweet, it’s outside of the 4 corners, which Utah is apart if. My guess it’s either Washington, Oregon, or Cal

 

[Rods79]

I'm going to bet on the other being Washington because they are "contemplating" it...last leak hail mary for a B1G invite.

 

[DSM4Cy]

The tweet says beyond the four corner schools.

Yep, and Oregon State and Washington State would take any invite as they are desperate. So that means it’s one of:

Cal
Oregon
Stanford
Washington

 

[helechopper]

It’s Washington.

 

[PickSix]

It’s Washington.

That would be incredible.

 

[CascadeClone]

Hmmm. Oregon and Washington likely think they’re too good for us. Stanford likely doesn’t feel we’re smart enough. So possibly Cal? Would be marginally better than Oregon State or Washington State.

I would guess Oregon. They don't fit the B1G nearly as well as UW. UW has bigger/better tv markets (matters to BTN), better academics, larger endowment... just a better B1G fit.

People think Oregon is great because they have had football success, but as an institution UW is much closer to the rest of the B1G than Oregon. IIRC, I said earlier in this thread that Stanford is likely higher on B1G list than Oregon. So put my chips on Oregon as the mystery fit.

Although it also could be a BY rumor to get AZ off the pot lol. "I see many things… I see plans within plans"

 

[whatthewhat]

It’s Washington.

Utah and ASU fans would have to do a hard 180 and really eat their words.

[Pope]

Seriously, what would you do right now if you're UO or UW?

• You conference is on the verge of collapse.
• Even if your conference survives, you know your payout and exposure will pale in comparison to what you'd receive in the Big 12.
• While a Big 10 invite might eventually come, you can't see it anywhere on the horizon.
