Wrong... if it's green, it's garbage.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
No need to fully add non-FB members. Band together with BE down the road to make a superleague for bball. Take UConn and the ACC leftovers when it implodes.
Think about what that 30ish team college bball conference looks like.
I don't really think that the Big Ten being coy about Oregon and Washington is as much of a PR thing as people here believe. I think the Big Ten needs to seriously consider if Oregon and Washington really increase future media deals enough to justify giving them a cut. (It seems like they would have to take a reduced cut for the current media deal, but would get a full cut after that.) Especially when you consider that the ACC could implode tomorrow and open up more possibilities that would provide more value than Oregon and Washington (Clemson/FSU) and that are on the same level, but might provide other benefits. like opening recruiting areas up or luring Notre Dame (UNC/Duke/Miami/Pitt).
I don't think Washington and Oregon are as big of a Big 12 pipedream as the media would have you believe.

Someone might want to explain inflation to this guy.
Good lord he was at the IPRT when I was at ISU. He got hired on in 88 so he would be in the Gordon P. Eaton mold of "athletics are for children, this is an academic institution". That explains a LOT.
I never bought that Cal and Stanford were in too serious of contention for spots. Gotta save some room for both Notre Dame and ACC schools which are much more valuable. Stanford only gets taken if it is somehow a package deal with Notre Dame.

That's why they hired Deion and are already on board.
Lol **** the Big 10.
I can confirm she is in the picture, that's it.
If people actually cared about "the game" as they claim to now, they should've cheered when the Big 12 punched back at ESPN. That was the most direct hit at someone who's the most responsible for this.
Perfect example of the shallow thinking of the “but do they add value?” people.
The calculus should be:
how do we need to be positioned?
how is the SEC going to be positioned?
Are we getting one up on the SEC with these adds even though they may not add “value” right at this second?
do the mascots on the jersey even matter or is it just a magic number?
Are OU/Wash in the hand worth two “ACC schools to possibly be named later” in the bush?
Will this action further crack the ND egg?
Can these adds get us closer to Fox becoming a billion dollar exclusive carrier for the Big 10 in 5-10 years?
And I think first and foremost there is a mindset of “if you aren’t adding, you’re losing and you may not be at the top of the pecking order when the next round comes, and no one knows what the next round looks like, but we do know that there are strength in numbers”
Great job Big 12 on breaking up an entire conference. The blood is all on the Big 12 if this happens. Insert heavy sarcasm emoji.
The most pussyfooting murder of a conference EVER.
Isn't the chart showing FY 2021 research dollars? He's comparing the new guys in the Big 12 to the old ones and showing in FY 2021 there wasn't really a difference. I could be wrong but that's what I thought.
Canzano is so buried in PAC propaganda, he doesn't even have time to proofread....unless we would rather take two Arizonas over one ASU.
