So 22 total

So 22 total

Their theory or to sell clicks

So 22 total

That may be the magic number where you can do 3-6-6-6 ... play every team once every 3 years. I like 3-6-6 where you play every team every other year in a 16 team league. But if you go higher and want to do the 3 protected rivalries, 22 is the number.

I still think if Stanford, UW, Oregon, and Cal stay, they can easily poach Tech, UH, BU, KU, OSU and either add BYU or offer SanDiegoSt a spot for southern Cali

we've seen this talk before.. if the Pac stays as is right now.. teams in the big12 would move over there.. But it remains to be seen if the BiG extends spots to those westcoast schools..Because they aren't for any current or future Big12 school

I think the schedule will be addressed quickly. 2 years is really not much lead time for the logistics involved.

lol we saw a schedule coming together within a couple of months during the Covid year.. it's not hard to figure out

 

[jjc2009]

So we can go back to calling it the PAC 10?

A few teams here and there. 16 teams, division alignment, redoing OOC games. If Wisconsin is going to USC instead of Indiana, I need time to get ready.

best thing to do right now anyone else in the Pac is to get your feelers out to the BigTen and BigXII. anyone that doesnt get into those prob ends up in the Mountain West.

 

[DayButtAssMans’s]

but I guess it's big enough.

that.

 

[WhosYourDawggy]

Can't see the SEC standing pat if all that is goin on in the BIG (and it may well happen like ya say).

Wonder how much venom that ACC GOR really has since ESPN has the SEC and ACC under wraps

As to your first sentence, there is no reason to expand just to expand. You expand only if you see the B1G go after some teams that the SEC has an interest in.

Your second sentence is spot on, but not sure it makes a difference. Because the GOR is about media rights and ESPN is the media for the SEC and the ACC, it might be that something could be brokered to make sense. The problem is that if a team goes from the ACC to the SEC, the ACC basically collapses and I doubt it has enough worth for ESPN to fund that.

Yes, 22 works... but here are some other options:

18 members would work if the B1G also adds Oregon & Washington... this would mean 10 conference games with 3 being protected: 3-7-7

20 members would work if the B1G also adds Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and Notre Dame... this would mean 9 conference games with 4 being protected: 4-5-5-5

Your idea of 22 (3-6-6-6) works by also adding Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Notre Dame, Utah, and Colorado.


So there are good scheduling options for 16, 18, 20, and 22 members.

Big 12 schools can't leave. They are locked into the bill of rights. And the Big 12 makes a lot more money than the Pac so they wouldn't want to leave anyways.

These are killing me!
