Yeah from what I saw of him last year most of what he said was Hot Garbage, not even close to accurate. Just slinging **** against the wall to see what sticks for clicks.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

The difference there is the regional divisions that are part of a larger conference now answer to a central governing body.
Army and Harvard and Minnesota used to dominate the game.
That’s Nebraska. A “super league” is the last thing they need. I mean everybody realizes Nebraska football is in Nebraska right?
I'd think that the only thing holding the Big10 back from announcing them is that they want to wait until after the UC regents vote on UCLA. To have the PAC implode with those two might prevent them from approving UCLA from going.
Once UCLA is in the clear, they'll pull that last domino and watch the whole thing tumble.
Looks like critical observer is one of those dumb fans over there.
So let’s say the things are done for now. At least the rest of the summer. That means there are 10 large state schools in the west and 6 large state schools on the plains.
Washington
Washington State
Oregon
Oregon State
Utah
Colorado
Arizona
Arizona State
Cal
Stanford
Tech
Houston
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
I mean…. Yea, let’s do it.

PAC being tied to their network could push them more toward a dissloution. For an enterprise that has lost money since it started, losing UCLA and USC and replacing with a hypothetical of KU or BYU would pull them down farther from profitability. Without the bell cows, a 24 hour PAC-TV is dead. Without a successful PAC-TV, where does the money come from for them to compete against the tens of millions ESPN/FOX are throwing the other conferences? It's everyone for themselves in that environment.
Regarding Texas travel, so long tax payer money isn’t used (money used for travel
Is from private donations) then it won’t be a problem. This has happened before.
Yes they make it work, using some accounting. Basically saying the travel money comes from AD revenue from Donors and conference, not from the State. So they can pay for such just like sending coaches on recruiting trips. Its just they cant use State money etc.
It's been nine hours. I'd wait at least 12 or 13 hours before concluding they've been bypassed.
Good question, my guess is that similar to Texas and OU, USC and UCLA were the ones driving this together.
Probably because they can always be nabbed.
Really smart by the B1G to get the LA schools before the SEC.

Correct, but they belong in that group way more than the religious schools or the East coast schools
True, but that might happen once every 5 years. I still think the Big10 takes at least 6 Pac12 teams. So they will play 5 of 9 Big12 games against current Pac12 teams and then a blend of 4 Big10 teams. So in any year their Big10 schedule could include Iowa, Indiana, Michigan and Rutgers.
My guess is the Big10 will legislate start times for former Pac12 teams, no 11am CT/9am PT starts. The earliest would be 1pm CT. After all the goal is increasing West Coast eye balls on games.
Realistic Big 12.
NO thank you to Wazzu and Oregon St
Oregon and Washington to the Big 10. Cal and Stanford go independent as academics matter so much more.
