Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Cal is still paying off the $500M they spent on football facilities 10 years ago. The university kindly took over half of the yearly payments, but the athletic department is still on the hook for ~$9M a year just for that one project.
Unless the UC Regents make UCLA share some of that sweet Big 10 money they’ll be desperate for any league paying enough to avoid default.
Mark Madsen seems to be taking the basketball job seriously (they’ve got a top 10 transfer class coming in), so maybe they’re gearing up to throw themselves at the Big 12.
If OU and UW dig in their heels and stay but CU, AZ, ASU, and Utah leave for the Big 12 are we even sure the Pac 12 has a guaranteed path to the playoff? That has to be a concern for those two. Even if there is a path, that is a one bid league and the B1G, SEC, and Big 12 reap the benefits of a watered down PAC.
It’s Oregon. Bank on it.
Wait until they see their new Pac members.
Have you been to Ft Collins? It ain’t Boulder. Then there’s the new pac team with Methodist in the name.
Oklahoma state politics briefly pretended to care about OU and OK St staying together too.
It would be weaker than AAC was last few years. Probably tougher than new AAC after the three defections to b12.
if its oregon than the whole pac is done. GK should be on a plane right now to eugene to beg them for time.

Oh I didn’t mean politics about bringing WSU I meant politics in the broader sense. Everything else I totally agree with.
What would be funny is if the conference is forced to stop at 16 if OUW got in and two of the corner schools were left out.
That map is about to change again and real soon. And to think a year ago, the low IQ Hok fans predicted that we would wind up in the MAC and become a feeder program for the Hoks.
If the playoff spots are as valuable as the rumors are the conferences will not allow the pac to have an equal share or an autobid in my opinion.
What’s the down side of adding AZ with CU? Or you’re considering that done?
Anyone else feel like Colorado should have to publish some sort of apology letter for their incredible irresponsibility when leaving the Big 12 in the first place?

They realize that they need to move quickly, if they want a seat when the music stops. The BIG had their chance. This is just the beginning of how Lord Yormark is building his empire. All hail Lord Yormark!
No, they have absolutely nothing to apologize for. They didn't ***** themselves out like A&M and Missouri did, they simply found a soft landing spot.
