Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[CascadeClone]

Anyone read this column?

There's no link in his tweet. Went to wildcatauthority and couldn't find it either.

Not sure what he means. Do they still think an 8 team PAC is better? They'd prefer Big12 if money is same?

Gotta be just posturing to get a better deal from B1G, doesn't it?

This is hilarious actually.

this was a joke

 

[Gunnerclone]

I think the conventional wisdom here is a bit off. There's more to the calculus from both the B1G's perspective and UO/UW's than people would maybe think about up front. As long as there's a means of getting them without giving special status over the rest of the teams in the league, BY should do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Do we have an option that brings UW/OU in at 40 million for a few years then gets to full share of 75 million a year?

There’s nothing anyone can do to make that happen except the Big 10. It’s not a play if it’s not a possible play. That’s just called delusion.

He's mocking Canzano. There is no article.

Also Arizona seems like solid recruiting area for ISU.

I think ISU got a guy from there once.
What was his name?
/ sarcasm!

 

[t-noah]

Ah yes. Whenever I think of elite academics I think of Stanford, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Harvard, and.......................Utah

Don't forget MIT and Vanderbilt!

 

[CoachHines3]

I know everyone hates the term pods but I do like this idea

instead of pods call the other 3 teams protected rivals. and drop the pod name.

Bryce Hurley, pretty sure.

 

[FerShizzle]

Honestly, I just don’t think we want these turds and their drama. I would so much rather have UConn instead of them.

Or call them divisions like they do in the pros.

These are made up numbers, neither of us know what the B1G can realistically offer. There are reasons why they didn't take them when their media deal was open last year and it would have been easiest to get the biggest value proposition from TV by adding them.

hate romaine, known mainly for being in a caesar salad. one of most overrated dishes and largely part to the lettuce gets soggy and is terrible. never understood it never will.

give me fresh crisp iceburg lettuce. the rest are all bitter. ppl lying saying they actually like any of it. no you like the dressing you put on it.

I don't eat salads. Mostly just use it on burgers and sandwiches. Iceberg is just crispy water (much like celery), but I don't mind it. Kale is just nasty.

 

[drmwevr08]

No problem. I just feel sorry for many out west who don't have the abundant water that we have in the midwest.

It does remind me of some of the clichés, "I've got some swamp land in FL" or "some oceanfront property in A-ri-zo-na", though.

These developers just need to be controlled, somehow. They are doing a disservice to everyone in the long run. But they don't see it that way or care. Money $$.

Maybe.

Your water is filled with poop, so there's that. More importantly, if they'd stop growing water intensive crops in AZ, they'd have more water than the burbs can use.

 

[isucy86]

Bryce Hurley, pretty sure.

Plus Sanders & Adams on current roster.

Plus, with adding schools in Arizona & Utah on top Florida, maybe the stars are lining up to bring back CYCLONE BASEBALL.

 

[Bader]

So what are we gonna do someday when Iowa State plays Iowa in the Rose Bowl?

All I know is ISUCF'V'MB has to play the Farmers Only theme at halftime

Haha, I'll get the popcorn!

Better get it in a garbage bag.

Apple should start lowering their offer each day in a reverse-auction format until somebody finally flinches.

The reverse-auction was a tongue-in-cheek comment when I wrote that. But it appears Apple is doing something similar by pulling the offer after tomorrow. Yikes.
