USC and UCLA to leave Pac 12 for Big Ten

[RDU VOL#14]

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

Tv. Oregon doesn’t add that much viewership.

. Might as well at this point. USC traveling to jersey to play Rutgers in a conference game is ridiculous

Maybe not, but Oregon vs Auburn or Oregon vs Tennessee does!

 

[LouderVol]

I think Colorado and Utah/BYU are more likely.

Or utah goes to the big 12 since byu is already there. Although that could be a fun inter conference rivalry.

Should make volleyball interesting...

[vols 30]

Just get rid of conferences

Geez. If this becomes a thing…

Imagine the ridiculous travel ahead for all the student athletes except maybe football.

Adds more than UCLA and USC.

How?

Ok, so inevitably when the SEC is at 20 teams in 5 years, what will the schedule be like then? We've been discussing a 1-7-7 schedule for 16 teams. Also a 3-6-6 schedule. What's next?

4-5-5-5?
3-4-4-4-4?
1-9-9?
7-2-2-2-2-2-2?
7-3-3-3-3?

LOL at the "alliance".

I was coming to comment on that. The big news that the Pac 12, Big 10 and ACC will work together last summer and now they are poaching one another's teams. With alliances like that, who needs enemies?

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Away trips to Rutgers must’ve been hard to refuse

 

[GroverCleveland]

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.

If my choice is LA or Minnesota in November...

Yep it’s crazy. We only really think about football in this but all the other sports will be part of this mess too and they won’t have the budget nor the resources that the football programs have and they will suffer.

 

[GroverCleveland]

I think Colorado and Utah/BYU are more likely.

Now this is interesting. Does Colorado decide to go back to the Big12 and Utah, with BYU already there, decide to join?

 

[GroverCleveland]

Or utah goes to the big 12 since byu is already there. Although that could be a fun inter conference rivalry.

LOL. Posted the same thing after you did.

Man I miss the 80’s and 90’s SEC that I grew with as a kid

 

[TrueOrange]

I think the SEC will pick up Notre Dame , Clemson , Miami and FSU to get to 20 even teams cause the ACC will be done and the rest of the ACC teams will go to the big ten. There will be only two super conferences in a decade.

Doubt Notre Dame. Also the Big 10 would only want to bring in the big media market / big media footprint from the ACC.

The smaller ones like Wake Forest (possibly even the Louisville to NC State-size/level ones) would likely find themselves SOL.

Let's just go ahead and get it over with and go to the 64-team (or whatever its going to be) system. It's been coming and it's inevitable.

 

[LouderVol]

How?

Based on the 2019 viewership, oregon had well over 2 million average views, usc and ucla were barely over 1.

Yep just eliminate the conferences it’s a semi pro mini NFL now
