USC and UCLA planning to leave for B10 by 2024!

Addition and subtraction?​

Remember the Big 12 almost going away last year? That was heartless, yes. Now, consider a similar scenario if, say, the SEC wanted to make room for the likes of Clemson or Miami

Would it simply eject a couple of underperforming schools? Would the Big Ten consider doing the same if it had more prominent replacements lined up?

One conference official reminded me that schools commit to a conference, not the other way around.

So, out with Vanderbilt and Missouri, in with Clemson and Miami? Out with Indiana and Purdue, in with Oregon and Washington?

The Big East booted Temple in 2001 for underperformance. Kansas State was on the verge of dropping football -- if the Big Eight didn't drop it first -- before Bill Snyder arrived in 1989.

It's a longshot, but judging by the events of Thursday, the scenario is not out of the question.

USC and UCLA to Big Ten: What's next for Pac-12, Notre Dame, ACC, Big 12 with realignment just getting started

Temple was a lot easier to give the boot to, because they were only in the Big East for football. I can't see the B10 kicking out IU and Purdue. Or Rutgers.

It sounds like a good idea about using the Big XII to beef up the PAC, until you realize the four biggest draws in the PAC and Big XII are now gone (OU, Texas, USC and UCLA)

Whatever the leftover teams who don't join the B1G and SEC do -- it is going to be a vastly inferior conference and likely will on the outside looking in for the CFP.

I think we see the B1G go after Washington, ND, Stanford, possibly Oregon if they can figure something out about the academic side.

The SEC will go after Clemson, FSU and either NC/NCst or Viriginia/VirginiaTech

UCLA as one of the biggest draws? ha
Oregons academics are still better than B1g current member Nebraska and not far off from a few others. they are still AAU

The playoff is going to 12 teams so nobody's going to be "looking in". It's inevitable. You could put together a good conference cherry picking the PAC or the Big XII. The teams on the West Coast are idiots for getting into a position where they have to travel cross country for all their events. Nobody wants to say that now because everyone's all excited about the new changes but give it a few years and all we'll hear about is constant bitching about the travel, travel, travel. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. USC and UCLA are going to relearn that lesson.

I hear you. I think OU and Texas are going to learn that as well about the grass not always being greener when they have to face Bama and Georgia regularly, not to mention the rest of the SEC.

In sports outside of football -- it is a good move for OU and Texas. In regards to football -- they are going from the big fish in the Big 12 to being one of the many fish behind the two big one's in the SEC.

OU fans gotta be loving this. Lincoln ran away from tSEC to the softer pastures of the PAC only to now face the prospect of B1G football in the winter.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. :LOL:

Schools still need teams they can rough up in their own conferences. Logically, SOMEbody has to be the worst team in a league, if you kick out the Vandys and Indianas then you have to start talking about kicking out the mid-level teams who now become the worst ones

If only. I want to see the 1st game that USC gets scheduled against a northern team in late November. One week is already reserved for the UCLA game.

Yeah, I don't see them giving anyone the boot.

I'm just glad South Carolina got a seat at the big boys' table back in the 90's.

Might have to drop my fake Baylor fandom in a couple of years, because no one would want them in a power league

Do you see ND joining a conference?

With these moves it’s only a matter of time before the B1G and SEC negotiate a separate playoff system that awards conference champs who play for the title.

The only thing potentially stopping or at least slowing it down after 2025 would be ND joining the ACC and combining revenue creating a viable 3rd conference.

Otherwise ND risks getting left out.

Cincinnati always has room for one more.
