Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[jcyclonee]

fun fact: until 2011 Pizza Hutt was the largest buyer of kale in the country. They used it to decorate their buffets. Then we decided to eat it

Iceberg lettuce is nothing special, but I like romaine.

Chrissie Teigen can be pretty annoying but she did once have a terrific quote. "I think it's cute how people are pretending to like kale these days."

I'm OK with kale if it's chopped up small and has a sweet poppy seed dressing. Basically, I don't want to chew it or taste it.

Utah initiation to the Big 12

Is that Pat Fitzgerald in the hood?

 

[AirWalke]

8 figures to rebrand? What did they do, build athletic facilities in the shape of the Pac 12 logo?

If there’s one thing MHver will be right on in all of his shenanigans, please let it be this.

I choose to believe MHver. Does he really have a source in the know? No idea.

Long live MHver.

USC is calling the shots already in the Big 10 apparently

Lol. Less than a week after he said the Big12 "actively, ravenously, begged, hunted, tore, and willed it into reality to steal a team" (referencing Colorado's move), he's now opining who the BIG should take from the Pac12.

He was right on the Apple/PAC deal. Now…whether or not he snaked that info off of “real” sources is up for debate, but he was correct and as far as I can tell, the first to put it out there.

***ducks for cover***

Why am I not surprised the Carolina AD is named “Bubba”?

 

[Matthew-10]

Does this mean that they are cool with UA, ASU and UU? Or are they happy to take on Oregon and UW?

No idea, but I’ll bid for that contract. I can paint a logo on the basketball court for that much money.

NC State's AD is named "Boo"

He's been right a scary number of times lately. I know that he's just parroting others, but, still.

Hope so. Take 2 Arizona schools and Oregon. Utah can keep PAC 12 signs and save the 8 figure costs to replace. Everyone wins.

So B10 takes Washington and Stanford in this scenario?

 

[Dowwmeow]

Just like Frasier Crane paying more than they need to. AZ is Marty Crane and I mean that in a good way.

Who’s in charge of the rebranding work at ASU…the Federal Government?

 

[t-noah]

You never know, but seems the writing is clearly on the wall.....AZ ASU Utah to B12....OR WA to B10. It's sad to see, but this sheds Stanford, Cal, Oregon St, and Wash St from the Power 5. Before any potential shedding from the ACC in years to come, this puts the total number of Power 5 schools at 64, which is exactly what was talked about years ago with the 4x16. Although it looks like the ACC will probably shed a few and the remaining schools will consolidate within the B10, B12, SEC. This would most likely create a 3x20. You never know in this realignment stuff, but I just can't see any conferences going over 20.....that would just create more problems vs the benefits.

Unless they go 3x24. I could see that? A few more teams are in the P3 this way.

Of course, I will usually root for the underdog.

No way OUW come to the Big 12. They will sell their souls to go to the BIG. Like half shares for 5-10 years...or even more. They know the long-term game will work out, $-wise. Plus, a four team POD of UW, O, UCLA, and USC would fit well (and be some decent football games).

Wrong... if it's green, it's garbage.

 

[SolarGarlic]

I'm not judging or kink-shaming, but looking at that photo with the leather and rich mahogany plus the photographer's light behind them I'm guessing this was the photo shoot prior to filming the pron?

This board is cringe any time a 6 or above is posted...

 

[Stormin]

USC is afraid of Oregon in the B1G and all that Nike money for NIL. Oregon will be dangerous. Visibility and money.
