ACC and PAC 12 Demise seems close (FSU officially stating intentions to fight ACC Grant of Rights… Clemson sues the ACC)

[Padreruf]

Maybe Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, and Washington told them they might want to rethink?

Word is that CU and UA want to see some numbers from Big 10 before they make a decision...the Big 12 is throwing around numbers such as 44-50 million a year from their TV contract if they come. UO and UW have the better hands, but they are playing the same game. I cannot see them turning down the Big 10...if offered.

All this means is that you don't want to bet on the PAC 12 surviving another 5 years.

Colorado

looks like they are seriously considering it.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Colorado should be leaving the PAC??? for the Big 12 possibly tomorrow

So west coast teams join Big 10, Big 10 makes new divisions, creating pacific division for PAC-12 teams, basically recreating the conference

makes sense.

I stop trying to make sense of it when a conference called the Big 10 had 16 teams.

They might as well be called the AAU conference

Seems like only 13 years ago Colorado was in the Big 12.

Isn’t this like marrying your ex-wife?

At least the PAC-8/10/12 has actually been honest about their membership numbers. Glad we are in a conference without a number in its name, although we aren’t truly relegated to the southeast anymore.

My first thought was more….

it’s like digging in the bottom of your dresser and grabbing an old pair socks from 13 years ago to wear. Nostalgic. A little dry rot maybe. But as you look closer and realize that part of one the feet is missing. (I know, I know, too soon, I’m evil, blah, blah, blah…. )

Yes and yet people do it all the time.

With Texas gone they may get more of a fair shake.

There should be a federal law against marrying your ex-wife.

Wow this comment sticks out like a big neon sign…

Rumor circulating now is that AZ/ASU and Utah package deal to Big XII imminent.

I think at this point it’s a given that Washington, Oregon, and Stanford are going to the B1G.

 

[BamaMoon]

Boulder fits the culture of the Pac better, but regionally they belong in the Big 12, but so do OU and Texas, but that's another story.

Try an even higher law - Deut. 24:1-4

My opinion may be a minority one, but having away football games you have to repeatedly fly across the entire country for will end up withering the on-campus experience, wear out the players/staff, and may end up killing college football more than any other change.

I don't think travel is really making a ton of difference. Teams already travel as it is and are used to it, and conference expansion just makes the distance a little farther, but not much.

I know someone that did this.
