I think the Wisconsin’s, Iowas, and Nebraska’s of the big ten may object to OrWa. These are teams that could knock them down a peg in the conference and make them also rans.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

No, their customers are the ones that are supposed to drastically overpay for things. Which means that PAC package will be $40 / month
It could be worse than what we were going through in 2010.
Thing is the B1G announcing this is the death blow to the PACX. There is no way Ore/Wash sign George K's Apple+ deal now and in turn AZ, ASU, Utah won't either. Plus there is a clause in the Apple+ deal that if two schools leave (assumed UWOU) leave it voids.
This is why none of my TVs ever on big ten games. I’ll turn my four TVs on big 12 games all day on Saturday. - - - - the big ten.
Big 10 would be easier for the fact that they will probably get multiple teams each year because, the media loves the big ten.
The Big Ten delivered the fatal blow to the Pac-12 by taking USCLA. They just don't have the intestinal fortitude and decency to pull the plug.
He is wrong about that. Fake NIL deals that buy players (esp transfers) will demolish competitive balance (such as it is already in college sports) and there won't be any competition at all... That's the biggest threat.
When you've been riding coattails, does it matter whose you are riding?
I've been saying this for a long time.
The best thing college football had going for it was every major metro, most small metros and something like 45 states had a team in the SEC/B10/B12/Big East/ACC/Pac/MWC when all 7 of those conferences were doing well in late 90s/early 00s. Places that have/had no pro sports have or had a team that was in a conference that was reasonably comparable to the best.
Nobody outside of the southeast is going to give a flying **** about minor league football in the south if the SEC finds ways to radically outpace the rest of the sport. I mean I'd rather watch countless other sports than minor league southern football as someone who has barely stepped foot in the south. Absolutely no connection or rational for me to ever care...unless they are an opponent (in a system where they are realistically on a similar level, not multiple levels above) of my team from Iowa that I do have a lifelong connection to.
We're seeing the first steps where it's really becoming less of a local thing, the strength of the sport. It's hitting the west coast the hardest because that's where the fandom is the most "meh", but the northeast could likely be next pretty easily for similar reasons. If interest fades in the programs that are now in B12 or gravitating toward B12, college football will have lost the key strength that it uniquely had over pro sports.
So basically, a wh*re is a wh*re regardless of what color dress she’s wearing?
Wow so instead of the B1G killing the PAC, now they are saving their members with a life line.
Are there people that really buy this BS? This spin can’t be more obvious.
