Selfishly, I'd rather have NC State. More chances to see the Clones in my backyard
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
this sure feels like last ditch efforts to leak and control the narrative. AZ isnt talking because they are in negotiations, but the others can throw **** at the wall and see if they can generate momentum.
This has been said so many times just in the last few days. We can't have 13 members. the 9-game schedule for football doesn't work.
I'm fine with this, get to 14 and call it a day. Honestly, the teams we would be able to pull will still be there in a year or 2.
Unless Arizona goes rogue, this is going to be a massive disappointment.
Every aspect of their university has wanted to join for a year and they’ve been thinking about it longer than that.
They’d be the first school in history of realignment to be blocked from doing what the pres, alumni, fans and boosters all really want to do. They haven’t been wrestling with the deceision.
You will always have Texas Games.....regardless of your protected rivals/pods. We play 9 games every year. More than half are going to be outside your pod/rivals. There are 4 Texas teams. You just might not play all 4 every year.Im thinking Oklahoma State will demand Texas games every year.
colo. same.
ISU can get good recruits from Ohio and Florida.
WVU doesnt recruit Texas much at all.
I think who's in what pod will be a bit contentious as coaches at some schools want a heavy dose of Texas schools.
There will be protected rivals, maybe even 3 rivals, so schools like ISU can get a good dose of big 8 schools.
Big 12 officials green-light Arizona to join conference; Arizona board of regents vote still pending
Arizona’s departure from the Pac-12 would be the latest major shakeup in conference realignment i.sports.yahoo.com

I could be thinking wrong here so help me out... Why would you sign the GOR before you've agreed and signed onto the media rights deal?
I still expect Arizona to come. They would be making a huge mistake forcing them to stay.
Sunk Cost Fallacy for Crow. He was an ally of Larry Scott. To crumble the conference now means he accepts he led to its downfall.
I may be wrong, but I think it's just going to be discussed.
It's genius for PAC 12 corp to discuss it, great for Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, and Stanford.
It would be really, really stupid for every other school to think about it.
They're signed at basically the same time. Signing the GOR means that you've given the league the authority to accept the deal.
The Big 12 is going to get laughed at because they failed to bring in Zona.
and instead settled for UConn. For basketball is great but sheesh.
Get ready for the anti Big 12 media blitz to come roaring back
