Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
It would be mildly amusing if AZ\ASU came and instead of Utah for the 16th slot we went with UConn
I agree with this. Its a move to slow things down. (To the benefit for the B1G)
If B1G leaks would take WAOR, WOAR to B1G and PAC X ends.
If B1G leaks would not take WAOR, WOAR to Big 12 and PAC X ends.
If B1G leaks evaluating WAOR in long term WAOR, WOAR. fights for status quo. (IMO)
Id bet money its iowa. Their cake walk every other year is over
I'm half tempted to say UConn over Utah... because **** Utah and their fans who think they're too good for truck stops.
No, it’s because Gary had to appear in court probably. Too many lawsuits to make the vote.
Doesn't this just push AZ\ASU\Utah out the door faster though? If Big 10 is leaking that UO\UW are serious possibilities, the viability of the pac 12 is nil for the corners schools.
I read somewhere awhile back that it might be USC against that move. They don't want Oregon\Washington recruiting in southern california against them anymore
I dont think so. WAOR says "We're staying for now" Let's say 5 years. AZ, ASU, UU say, "Ok. We can hang on for another 5 years."
Or could be a signal to WAOR, if you go to the Big 12, dont sign a long term agreement.
A 24 team Big 10 and say 24 team SEC will be bad for the rest, including us as the 3rd conference. We'll start getting edged out. Then, the Big 10 and SEC may implode from within, may take awhile, but they then could combine for one conference, dropping the likes of Iowa, Northwestern, Minnesota, Miss State.
You're too late. Live look-in at my super secret society meeting to regain control of the new world order.
All that does is put an expiration date on things though. And those 3 can't guarantee that the big 12 will still have those openings in 5 years, especially in light of all the noise out of the ACC (however unlikely breaking the GOR actually is today, the closer we get to its end, the more likely an exit happens). Hell, the next big 12 contract may not have the same pro rata options.
My guess is the Big10's goal is to be 24 schools. That means 3 or 4 more Pac12 schools, 3 or 4 ACC schools and Notre Dame. If FSU is looking to announce they are leaving ACC by August 15, they would probably do so know what conference they are heading to. So Big10 would have a better idea where they sit getting ACC schools. If FSU finds a way, I have to believe the other top ACC schools will find a way out as well.
Whereas if the SEC is content on being a regional conference, they might be OK at 18 or 20 teams.
And in the end I think the Big12 ends up at 24 teams, but it might be in stages: 16, 20, 24.
Like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic........the part that's already underwater.
