LOL, dont ya know the B1G makes up the rules as they go along, they will fix it so everyone is a winner by that time, at least in the B1G, Well as long as it Benefits, OSU....and now probably USC too.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Everyone will start the season with 6 wins moving forward.
Ok. Do you think what the SEC and Big 10 is doing RIGHT NOW good for the future of college athletics?
The P2 playoff doesn't have to fall within the current contract. They could theoretically create their own playoff. But I think the more likely scenario is that they'll use their TV partners to make sure they are the only teams discussed for the playoffs under the current configuration. All other teams will get talked down to increase the value of their investment. And the committee will comply.
Isn't that how the Big10 West is already set up? Basically have 6 guaranteed wins in those schedules until '24.
100% no. It’s awful for college athletics. I don’t even want the first round of expansion with Nebraska Rutgers and maryland
Wont happen now, but long term Ohio state isn't giving Purdue and Northwestern an equal cut. That isn't sustainable.
Yes and thats when they may leave on their own. No one is getting kicked out, but if the Egos get so big at the top, that the bottom decides it is better elsewhere they might go on their own.
It would be the only possibility and I give it a decent probability. Once you start unequal revenue shares things get messy fast. And if you have an outside conference at or above what the bottom guys are getting and everyone is treated equal, some may decide to leave.
Or the system just blows up completely at that point.
When this happens the people who think it’s impossible now will say it was always so obvious (because it is). Texas did not want to share with Kansas State and Baylor, USC does not want to with Wazzu and Colorado. Ohio State is no different
Every Mizzou fan Ive spoken to feels this way. Theyd probably never come back but I think we would take them back in a heartbeat. I want that trophy back.
I tend to think we are in another "pause" for how long, no one knows. The B10 is still out whale hunting over ND, therefore it makes zero since to offer Oregon now.
This is why the B12 must make the situation unstable and offer CU, UU, and the 2 Arizonia schools now, heck go ahead and offer Oregon, UDub, Stanford and Cal and out of those four, say "the first two schools that commit, get the spots."
It better for the B10 for things to cool down, but for the B12, they need to force the issue.
Put Operation, "Sink the P12" into action.

People keep saying this, but half the NFL loses every week too. Its a non issue.
And they wont kick lesser teams out. The big brands will get poached by a new superleague. And maybe only the football programs, when it all comes down.
And the superleague will prob start with a special CFP that only includes the SEC and B1G.
I mean we could obviously offer the four, Oregon and Washington being 5 and 6 would be a welcome addition. No reason to just add two when the B1G and SEC are going to 16+
The NFL also has a mechanism that allows the worst teams the chance to get better players earlier the following spring.
2-10 Vanderbilt doesn't get to jump the line and automatically sign guys Alabama and Georgia wants.
And how many NFL coaches get fired every other year for going sub .500. You are leading a winner or you are the team that is playing round robin with coaches. Some of these teams are changes coaches every couple years.
Its not ok to be the loser in the NFL either. Saying it is, is not true.
I don't see the Pac12 adding 4 MWC teams because they have a better option, they can consolidate with the Big12 Conference. Realignment is about increasing TV media $ on a per school basis. Big 12 merger means similar money to what the Big12/ACC/Pac12 make today. Adding MWC money means taking less much less than they get today.
Plus if Washington & Oregon bolt for the Big10, merging with the Big12 allows the remaining Pac12 schools to drop the 2 least valuable Pac12 properties Oregon State & Washington State.
Not likely, but I could also see a Pac12 split. CU, UU, ASU & UA join the Big12. With Washington, Oregon, WSU, OSU, Stanford, Cal join up with 4 other west coast teams: Boise, Fresno State, San Diego State and UNLV. And the go with an uneven revenue split. It basically means Oregon, Washington, Stanford & Cal choose to be independent, but line up 4 opponents who will settle for a slight bump up from their MWC contract.
