USC and UCLA to leave Pac 12 for Big Ten

[05_never_again]

These California fans barely show up for their home games. I guess it's all about the TV money

They only show up when they are really good.

OU and Texas have their new home...they wouldn't want to go anywhere else at this point.

Are you sure ?

 

[05_never_again]

Are you sure ?

What conference could be cobbled together at this point that would be better than the SEC?

 

[sunnyvol79]

USC and UCLA will be begging to go back to the PAC 12 after the first road game at Minnesota or Wisconsin in November when it’s 28 degrees and snowing.

I think the SEC will go after Notre Dame and Ohio St

That’s all that it’s about. Expanding the TV footprint. The only place left for the SEC to conquer is Virginia and North Carolina .

 

[sunnyvol79]

I hate to see all this happening it’s ruining college football and all for the money

I think the Big XII is in worse shape. That's who the Pac will look to raid.

Depending on how the various contracts read, but the new b12 is still ahead of the old pAC12, by half a million views. Losing USC and UCLA doesnt hurt as bad as losing Texas and Oklahoma (separately or combined), but it means they are that much further behind. Another 2.29 million views.

The PAC12 actually will now have the lowest viewership of any conference at 7.84 million vs 7.89 for the ACC.

LOL at the "alliance".

Ohio State wouldn’t leave the B1G at this point. They have a great deal that I imagine will get even larger with these new additions .

I wouldn’t think they would I just heard Finebum talking about it the other day

 

[Sub Par SUPERSTAR]

I hate this. Now I'm not a fuddy duddy in terms of college sports traditionalism, but this just feels wrong and it feels like it's being done for the wrong reasons. I feel like there's coming a day when this isn't fun anymore, and what a sad day that will be.

I’m turning him on right now actually. Interested to hear what is said today

If true, this is truly the end for me.

Get rid of conferences. Have a "power 64" leave the NCAA, form their own organization and start a "professional college" league.

I can not and will not ever consider USC and UCLA a part of the Big 10.

It's going to be interesting to see how this works. The time zone differences, travel, and weather are going to be a challenge.

I agree all of this sucks

 

[Rickyvol77]

B1G will now control SoCal, Chicago, NYC, and DC markets. Their fans are very excited.

Lol it’s dumb and hilariously sad. But doesn’t matter

 

[RDU VOL#14]

The B1G to the “The Alliance”

I think they'll end up targeting ACC schools and getting them.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I think they'll end up targeting ACC schools and getting them.

It’ll be interesting to see who that will be. UNC is the obvious first choice, then UVA or Va Tech. Can’t say I really care for it tbh.

 

[sunnyvol79]

I think they'll end up targeting ACC schools and getting them.

Probaly FSU, Clemson and Miami if I had to guess although I can see real interest in UNC and NC St. I thought that they were targeting 20 teams initially well it very well could be 24 and good luck trying to make a conference schedule for 24 teams.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

This is just getting stupid now.
In this arms race, are we gonna just continue to add teams, change schedules, permanent opponents...
Just 2 years ago we were canceling games because of travel, now Maryland will be going to Los Angeles, for a conference game.

 

[05_never_again]

I'd say any/all of FSU, Miami, Clemson, and Virginia Tech.

UNC/Duke leaving the ACC would have to be as a package deal because of basketball...right?

Hell, after the stunt the Big10 just pulled, why not go after Oregon?

I think Colorado and Utah/BYU are more likely.
