USC and UCLA planning to leave for B10 by 2024!

Check this out @WhosYourDawggy

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

And here's what the B10 gets out of it, hosting the B10 title game in LA

Adding Rutgers added an additional $8mill a month to the conference by turning the BTN in network, what do you think adding California will do?

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.

I don’t see Oregon getting an invite, it’s a MAC level school.

Stanford and Cal should, along with Washington. Then either ND or Virginia imo.

That'll bring the research dollars. Isn't that where the "real money" is?

If this happens, and honestly there is too much noise for it not to be, the PAC ratings just went into the toilet.

Oregon is so screwed because no way the B1G takes them with their academics.

The B1G is kicking themselves for taking Maryland and Rutgers now because they could have added Washington and Stanford instead.

I thought the Big 10's next move would be Colorado and Kansas in 2025.

I'll explain why it will.

- There are no obvious expansion candidates left. The PAC is renegotiating their TV rights, so no GOR to deal with.
- Miami, FSU, and Clemson to the SEC, and UNC, Duke, UVa to the B1G makes sense, but the GOR says no until 2036.
- If you say they will buy out of the GOR, hello ... UT and OU would like a word.
- If anything makes sense it would be KS, ORE and Wash to the B1G with one more to give you a 6 team West divisions/pod whatever you want to call it. But if they were going to do that, they'd be doing it now.
- Notre Dame is a wild card, although they may have the ACC GOR to deal with.
- Basically, the ACC GOR and geography are going to stop this for a decade.

As for The Alliance ... LOL, LOL, LO fucking L.

Colorado.
They make sense geographically either way.

If it’s a financial decision, Mississippi State would be the first on the chopping block for the SEC.

As long as the big money generators are willing to allow the smaller money generators to ride along, there won’t be any subtraction IMHO. Texas and OU were the first to decide they were tired of it. Now USC and UCLA have decided likewise. But those “subtracted” themselves.
