Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[SolterraCyclone]

Hard no on Cal. Culturally, athletically, monetarily they don’t fit. They don’t want us and we don’t want them , and that’s fine.

I would be in favor of taking Oregon State and Washington State before Cal. Maybe Stanford too although their reputation would help with future TV deals potentially (even though they were one of the worst P5 FBS programs from Elway graduation to Harbaugh introduction as coach).

BY really wants a foothold in CA and the west coast time zone. Arizona and Colorado dont give them that. neither does BYU.

Adding schools located between California and the current B12 footprint will help with getting a CA school. The fact that it's Pac schools will help even more.

We should differentiate between SoCal and NorCal. In terms of college football/basketball SoCal is the gem. NorCal is no more valuable than Montana imo

You can put up with a lot of sucky losses if you’re hauling in the kind of bucks the B1G and SEC hand out.

You're GD right.

Eventually, give it a few years, OU and Nebraska will figure out that losing sucks in Big 10 and in SEC and may want to return.

Please feel free to take Nebraska back anytime you want

How about we make a trade? Would you prefer a Texas or Florida school?

Love this rebranding of the league. Big 12 was always kind of a weird name and now that we will always have more than 12….how about calling us the National Intercollegiate League

I forgot where it was, but I think there was a Podcast not that long ago where Pollard said that the topic of rebranding the conference with a different name, they approached the new schools about their opinion on it. The new schools said to keep it because the brand was part of the allure of coming. I don't think the Big 12 name is going anywhere.

We could trade Baylor for Nebraska. Although I'm not sure which one, the Big12 or the BIG, would come out worse in that deal.

Current per team deal plus one

 

[Nor'MidWester]

When is this dam Colorado board meeting supposed to happen? I aint got all day

 

[Gorm]

Stanford is a huge brand. Will also help for Big 12 to have a presence in the most populous state in the union. Cali produces a lot of D1 football players

HUGE!

I would like these divisions, just swap OSU and UCF. Or BYU for OSU.

I might be dumb here but if that’s the case add everyone. Oregon, Washington, both Arizona schools, etc. If our cut doesn’t get smaller, make us more and more secure.

Except Utah. **** Utah.
