Bye Bye PAC-12

[OldDevilDawg]

No one's mentioned the elephant in the room. Remember that so-called "Alliance" between the PAC and B1G last year to battle the SEC growing with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma. Apparently the B1G was very Machiavellian in their thinking and skull drug the PAC. Guess that "Alliance" is over with now. Will this be the death of the Rose Bowl's alliance with the 2?

I think this is a move to kill the NCAA and break away. I expect the news tomorrow will be that the ACC has merged with the SEC. Also that half of the remaining PAC & Big 12 are joining the SEC and the other half are joining the B1G. Then they'll all secede from the NCAA to form their new organization with own set of rules. Basically be 24/25-17/18 year old minor league.

B12 should move fast
and go after the AZ schools,
and Utah (esp w/ addin BYU) -
that gets us to 15,
so we need one more -
i'm thinkin...

Washington and Oregon have applied to join the B1G.

Impact Statement: UPDATED The Knockout Blow for the Pac-12?

UPDATE: USC and UCLA have been admitted into the Big -10 Conference. Washington and Oregon have applied to join the Big-10. A decision appears to be imminent on the latter. 10:23 AM PST, June 30th 2022, may go down as the time the Pac-12 changed forever. On this day, at that time, Jon Wilner...

so, the Big10 would go to 18 schools ??
then does it follow that
the SEC makes another move ??

Interesting choice. "Acceptable". That would allow UGA to drop them for a better permanent ACC opponent in Clemson.

i could see Stanford goin indy,
but UC, CU, OSU n WSU could be screwed -

The SEC is going to go after Clemson, FSU, UNC .. and few others. Lots of UK vs Duke bb games right @Hard2Bluff

mostly just funnin -
but if the SEC grabs F St and Clemson,
then the B12 could raid a few ACC schools,
as well as the 3 PAC schools -

I sure hope WSU and OSU find a home.

so what do you think the final number will be ?
18, 20, 24 ?

Tough to say with the SEC and ACC. Those schools never really gave two sh1ts about playing their own conference members hence the reason they stayed at 8 conference games this entire time.

Why? Also, I get the Oregon attraction but why so much for UW?

 

[TechRaiderRider]

so it seems like 20 might be the magic number -
the Big10 could add UW and OU as they've applied,
and i'd suspect CU n UU would be logical choices
to get em to 20,
esp since they're AAU member schools -

OSU and WSU have been PAC members from the beginning. TBH I have a lot more in common these days with Wazzou fans than most UW fans. As far as UW going to the B1G ... UW has the largest on campus football stadium west of the Rockies, the most PAC titles next to SC, the best academics next to Stanford, the largest endowment in the PAC next to Stanford, a larger media market than Oregon, etc, etc ...

with the 4 incoming and the 2 AZ schools,
the B12 is only at 14 -
after the SEC grabs FSU n CU plus 2,
the B12 grabs their 6 more to get to 20 -
that would leave out 9 schools -
