If I had two cougars, I wouldn’t care how exhausting it was. They can take the life from my body.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Is there anyway we can admit Oregon St and Wassu? Maybe bring on a third streaming partner?
Those fans are us, we are them... Id rather have them over Utah and ASU (ASU fans I think don't care, but their president deserves purgatory)

Admittedly, those Big Ten Classic highlights of the 1997 Cornhuskers on BTN really add prestige to the conference
I don’t think it is the same unless the teams all have the same protected rivalries. If the protected rivalries are:
CU: KU, KSU, UU
ISU: KU, KSU, WVU
KU: CU, ISU, KSU
KSU: CU, ISU, KU
What’s the pod?
Not anymore. They are going to be what everyone has wanted us to be in the past sagas. I’m just going to take it and not say anything about those schools.
You have a point here. Many years ago a very good businessman I knew was offered an opportunity to buy into a fledgling company that was absorbed by Comcast. After the sales presentation he said I'll take all I can get. Maybe we are at the same point with ASU and Utah. I guess we'll see.

The idea of growing to 20 teams or something like that when 6 or more of those schools are “dragged here,” sullenly kicking the dirt about being stuck in a stupid truck-stop conference instead of playing “real” football, is not enticing to me.
You don’t want to be here ASU, Utah, Washington? You think you deserve an SEC or B1G spot Va Tech, NC State, Miami? Fine … be that way, we’ll keep on working at Conference #3 and you can enjoy your time in the MWC or New Big East.
The B12 is as united now as it has ever been since the Big 8 days, probably (Texas was probably grateful for maybe a year when we saved them from the SWC, maybe) - don’t mess that up by bringing in multiple schools who will just ***** and moan about being “forced” to join. Especially if they’re not going to eventually boost the per-team media payout and not just siphon another share from bowl money.

Contingent on Crow being fired at ASU. That would be funny. Might be too bold...
What is the actual status of Arizona right now, the Big 12 has invited them but the Arizona Board of Regents hasn’t let the Arizona President accept yet?
Because it seems to me the Arizona Board of Regents doesn’t want to split up the schools and ASU’s President is currently working a last ditch effort to keep the PAC together. That doesn’t feel to me like Arizona is a sure thing yet (which could change very quickly but not as of right now).

You’re right. It’s funny that the B1G is proud of the play on the field but glosses over the partial qualifier, unlimited walk-ons scheme, and institutional steroid use that Nebby built its legacy on.
I dug deeper into the data. Penn State won 2 titles in the 80’s (when they weren’t in the Big 10). Then you have to go back to 1965 (Mich St) and 1960 (Minnesota) for the last titles from the conference.
But hey, Maryland won a title in 1953. Leaders & Legends, baby.
Expectation is they announce the move this morning (Pacific time, so could be afternoon for people not on the West Coast)
