Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[CloneGuy8]

Iowa, Purdue, Illinois, etc were all fortunate to have the forsite to join a stable conference many years ago and be grandfathered in. Good for them; I wish I could say that about ISU.

It might mean more money simply because there is one less conference, meaning one less place for these people to get content. Meaning they will increase their bid to secure that content.....hopefully.

A network like CBS or NBC is soon to be completely out of CFB, and streamers like Amazon and Apple want in. Meaning if there is no PAC their is one less conference for them to make a deal with. Making it a greater need to bid to get that content.

This is the best take I've seen all day.

The SEC won only two outright national championships ( 92 and 98 ) and one shared in a 25 year period from 1981 to 2005. It has only been recently, past 16 years, that the SEC has been the juggernaut it currently is now. I would like to see their ratings the. Vs.other leagues from 1990 to 2005. I would also like to see the ratings of the orange bowl vs. Sugar bowl in the 1970s and 80s when the big 8 had a tie in with the orange bowl. If memory serves me, then those two bowls went head to head.

The sugar normally went head to head with the Cotton. The Orange was played at night, after the Rose Bowl.

List? (You can't count beach volleyball or rowing)

Seriously, I'd like to see a list. Not to critique (I have no counter-list or prefs of any kind) - just curious.

women's wrestling, beach volleyball, mens volleyball, mens and women's hockey, mens and women's lacrosse, mens soccer, rowing, cross country skiing, mens tennis

mens and women's rock climbing, build a wave facility and get surfing, esports, probably about 20 other non-NCAA sports I'd rather invest in

I mean almost anything would be as exciting to me as college baseball knowing the weather In Feb/March/April in Iowa and that it'd be almost impossible for ISU to compete.

Big 10 will get more. Big 12 will be well ahead of the Pac 12

Auerbach loves to make the Big12 look as bad as possible. Must be one of her job review performance metrics.

I’m guessing your search history includes ‘How to read a graph’ and ‘what if i think my sister is hot’.

Dan Beebe and Larry Scott can at least tell their grandchildren that they played a huge roll in college realignment.

How would giving the Big 10 and the SEC more playoff spots have saved us? We usually got a team in anyway, and with a 12-16 team playoff, we would have gotten the same amount in.

Methinks that PAC-12 line needs revisited.

Aren’t we already 2 MM above that projection for the big XII?

I don't think the PAC is dead; they're just the new MWC.

They are dead because Many of the leftovers are going to jump ship. Oregon, UW, Utah, UA, CU and ASU will jump elsewhere if it comes to that.

This....people on this board believe anything they find on twitter.

I didn’t believe that USC/UCLA were joining the Big 10 in 5 minutes until I saw it on Twitter.

PAC 12 has just lost their 2 biggest draws. The next 2 Washington and Oregon have applied for Big Ten membership. Stanford and Cal are in shock. PAC 12 is doomed. They know it. Oregon State and Washington State are dead weight. They know it. Arizona Schools know the Big 12 is their only shot. CU and Utah the same. No one is going to join the PAC 12. Who wants to hop on that sinking ship?

I'll just throw this out there. Stormin, you get the quote, but it could be anybody.

What would you call the new B12?

Lol

I would like to project something all over that graph

I'm sure Storm in meant P5 schools.

Regarding Auerbach and many in the college football media, they often confuse cynicism with cleverness. Mandel is the worst offender. That guy needs therapy. Punching down is never a good look.
