Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
The next CW pod with Pollard...
CW: Jamie, you know I love Randy; he's a great guy. But, man, some of the questions he asks at pressers get discussed quite a bit on the site. People view them as lazy, argumentative, self-fulfilling. What do you think? Have you ever apologized to the rest of the conference for having to deal with him?
Jamie: HA, ol' Randy. We all love Randy too...
(Long, awkward pause).
Big 12 readies to pounce on Four Corners schools as doubt creeps in about Pac-12's viability
Realignment and expansion has slowed, but it has absolutely not stoppedwww.cbssports.com
“Three high-ranking industry sources in the last week told CBS Sports they believe Yormark is going to be successful in luring at least some combination of Four Corners schools. Some went farther speculating the Pac-12 was a couple of weeks away from dissolving.“
Brett generated over $1 million dollars by moving the media's free seats to the upper level and selling their old court side seats to the high rollers. Randy and the rest of the media should be grateful they got to have incredible seats for free all those many years.

OMG Canzano just dissolved in to a puddle of goo after reading that.
Live look:
Those two clowns Wilner and Canzano started pivoting like 3 days ago. When you get to the point of “will gambling keep the PAC-12 intact” stuff the end is nigh. Now they are just live updates for the PAC-12 tournament because no one can see it.
CBS seems to be fine with their one game a week in the late afternoon timeslot, along with their CBS Sports games.
There was talk of maybe CBS being interested in the Big12 games, but since we didn't go to market, they couldn't bid.
Getting OU and UW in the B1G. Also they might try to get a piece of the extra Big 12 inventory.
Somehow Randy's hard hitting complaint about press seating didn't make it to the article.
Actual information did.
Unless they go to 24. But I think they would stop at 20.
Superleague only needs a few brands from the ACC (Clemson, FSU, Miami) so those could fit into SEC and B1G takes a couple they "like" and then it's all in place.
Don't forget about the spot they are saving for ND.
I would be surprised if 20 is the final # for the Big10 with their already adding USC/UCLA. I have to believe their long term plan is to have 4 or 6 Pac 12 schools. In the end, I feel the Big10 will get to 24 teams once ACC/ND are in play. Just a matter if Big10 values Duke/Ga Tech over Cal/Stanford.
SEC might have a tougher time getting beyond 20 if they don't push west. But tough to believe ASU, UU, CU, OSU, ISU or KU can increase their value to meet SEC thresholds by 2030.
SEC fits would be FSU/Clemson/GT/any NC or VA school. Basically any state from the defeated confederacy would be fair game for them.
