Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Just thinking out loud - I had wanted Arizona and ASU for that rivalry, but I wonder if the idea would be go to 16 (Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Washington) and then having every team in the conference schedule a non-con rivalry week, which then lets Arizona still play Arizona State.

I realize Arizona State would have to agree to it, but they got their own asses into this mess. Probably the only school I don't feel bad for.

Don't forget to include Utah with ASU. They've been acting like irrational jackasses towards the Big 12 ever since BYU joined.
 
I know he takes a deserved beating on here, but on Sunday or Monday Swaim tweeted the big Colorado donors were pressuring the Buffs administration to make the jump. And now several others are reporting that played a big role. Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while I guess.
 
I think the general consensus is that neither side is interested in sniffing the other. Big 12 wants programs that will invest in athletics. Stanford wants to invest in silly things, like researching cures to incurable diseases.
i think Cal is the take here. not Stanford.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive.

Agree. What happened to their football program these past ~15 years? They’ve put Aaron Rodgers, DeSean Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Jared Goff, Keenan Allen in the NFL not that long ago.

I think this is how I'd like them to go. As far as ASU not wanting to play a noncon game against Arizona, well if they are in a glorified Mountain West they'd agree to it in a heartbeat.

a string of bad coaching hires, the rise of oregon and utah, recruiting misses, etc...
 
BY really wants a foothold in CA and the west coast time zone. Arizona and Colorado dont give them that. neither does BYU.

We should take Cal for sure, but we should do absolutely nothing because BY wants us to.
 
I think the B12 would take Cal and/or Stanford in a heartbeat.
And I don’t think Cal and/or Stanford would ever consider joining the B12. Heck, Cal is probably more likely to go D-3 than move to the B12.

Not that I have any inside info, I don’t, but it just seems to me neither of those schools would ever be interested.

What do ppl think Cal brings? Great academics but essentially a poor man's northwest. Nothing on the field, arrogant, apathetic fan base. Seems like a horrible cultural fit. They seem like the poster children for how much the PAC doesn't care about sports.
I will eat my shorts and the person who posts below this posts shorts if we add a California school.
