USC/UCLA to the Big Ten in 24?
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Big 12 has the opportunity to establish itself as the #3 Conference behind SEC and Big Ten. Colorado has to hope there are some feelings of nostalgia. Possibility of them being Mountain West.
I like the geographic fit of Utah, Colorado and the Arizona schools. Plus they are decent additions. Some great Conference Rivalry Games. Great viewing for fans. It will be a competitive fun league

That guy's tweet prior to that one said WVU has talked to the SEC and B1G. Delusions of grandeur.
The guy that was smoking the blunt talking about USC and UCLA going to the Big Ten just ****** your wife.
with everything going on, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a war room with a few key people in it every day this weekend.
This is a good way to know that it didn't happen. Account has zero sources and makes everything up.
I would believe this from almost any other source, but I give anything MHver says 0 legitimacy.
Counterpoint: you know Texas and Oklahoma already hired those lawyers, and they apparently didn't find a way to get those schools out early.
The GOR doesn't go away just because ESPN wants it to, or the Big 12 GOR would have "disappeared" by now too.
There's not much incentive to get out early. The SECs new deal doesn't start for two more years.
Yeah I think there will be a top 2 and a top 3.
I could see something like this:
1. SEC, B1G - ABC/ESPN, FOX
2. Big 12 - CBS, Apple/Amazon
3. ACC, Pac 12, G5 - ESPN, ESPN+
4. FCS - ESPN+ (or whatever they're on lol)

And, if/when that happens, attrition results in worse records, worse viewership and ultimate demise. They need their bottom feeders.
I think if the B12 plays their cards right throughout this, we could have a more healthy/sustainable league long-term, but we'll see what happens.
How does that show they have a higher ceiling than Iowa and Wisconsin?
Maybe I misunderstood and you’re agreeing with me. Iowa and Wisc get nine wins all the time in that easy division.
What advantage do they have over Iowa and Wisc? Let alone OSU, Mich, PSU, USC, Oregon and maybe ND? Better because their state has way less people and they’re further away from recruiting hotbeds?
Neb is lucky schools like Indiana, Purdue and Illinois are gonna get grandfathered into this thing or they would be the whipping boy. If they make a breakaway super league they’ll definitely be the Washington generals of that.
Add to that the financial travel burden of those sports popular on the west coast. If Stanford goes to B1G, I see several non-revenue sports being cut.
As long as the Big 12 has a seat at the table for the CFP.... I think you are absolutely correct.... ISU is probably in a better situation than Iowa (except for the instability, which is huge of course).
But ISU will have a much better chance of playing winning football in a conference without OU in it... which means ISU has a better chance of having a decent record year in and year out, fans will still be at games, and they would have a shot at winning their conference and making the CFP.
Iowa would risk having .500 seasons or worse, fans quit coming to games and forking out thousands of dollars, they would no longer have a chance at winning their conference or ever going to the CFP.
But the money and stability might just be worth all that?
