If they DON'T go to the ACC, the ACC has a big problem...the SEC will now have their sights on the best ACC properties. Stand by for the P2...
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
I agree the b10 is not finished nor the SEC, but they want the schools from the ACC.
Everyone has to assume that Oregan and Washington want to be in the B10, they applied for membership last night it being reported, and the B10 said they were done expanding at this time, but they said the same thing last year.
The B10 wants to buy time to see what ND and the ACC schools are going to do, that is why the B12 needs to invite the 4 Pac12 schools now, if they want to sit and do nothing, then turn to and invite CU and, Utah,. Both of them may be thinking like Mizzu was thinking and they do not want to be left standing when the music stops and will jump at the chance to get set now. The GOR for all Pac 12 schools are up in 2024, taking CU and Utah forces the hand of Oregan, Washinton, Stanford and Cal, do they not want to stay in an 8-team league, and add San Diego and Boise, or do they make a better choice and join the B12.
I am sure they will go back to the B10 first and ask them again, that is their preferred landing spot, but if the B10 doesn't jump and grab them, then one would think they would be forced to join the B12 to stay viable.
If the ACC poaches anyone, it reopens their GOR so they have to be careful on how to proceed.
ASU, AU, UT and Co will most likely be available. JP has to be talking to his buddy and seeing what Oregon is thinking. That way there is no big 12 tampering and hurting our lawsuit situation. Have him work around the edges. If they have no interest in the big 12 then we can sit a little and let the other schools contact us and not initiate anything. The ACC has a mess. Inviting means the GORs could be dead and NC and Va could go big ten and others could go SEC; then they are in a sinking ship. The big 12 is not as bad of a position as Scotty D thinks.
College football is getting more awesome all the time.
We have some "friends" tell AZ AZST CO and UT that we want to add teams and we're only taking 2.
FYI. Here in Denver, it is NOT a huge CU market. Denver is definitely pro dominated. Very minimal coverage on CU or CSU.
I get that but I just don’t see them rushing it. Going from PAC to B12 is not the same as moving to either the B10 or SEC where there may be limited seats. I think they know they can always have a seat in the B12 so why rush it?
Ya but the B1G money allows for a more generous travel arrangements, ACC money would be pretty much what they have now.
Ideally, the B1G needs to take two more from the Pac10. Otherwise them smug SOBs might salvage their conference as is instead of looking to the Big12. Also, watching what the ACC does. They've been aggressive in the past (Snagging Big East teams quick, Offering ND what they want, Signing a long-term deal and GORs... they could do something unexpected like try to coax the biggest brands in the Pac10/Big12 to form the first conference of 20 and try to renegotiate their ESPN contract. If the B1G is throwing out Geography, not sure why the ACC wouldn't.
This will become much more of an issue when schools are allowed to pay athletes directly. Don't think for a minute that won't happen, it's coming. That will create a massive gulf in talent between the B1G/SEC and everyone else.
Because if the ACC does any of that stuff, it opens up the GoR and the big schools go to the Big ten and the SEC. They can't open up or they will lose more than they gain.
I think the Big 12 would be just as good from a per-team standpoint BUT the ACC would lure them with concessions and extra shares so they could trigger the renegotiation of their bad contract.
And make a breakaway for the top teams to just create their own conference.
That guys such an asshat.
