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
Not happening.
 
B1G 20:

Big 10 East:

Rutgers
Maryland
Penn State
Ohio State
Michigan

Big 10 North:

Michigan State
Notre Dame
Purdue
Indiana
Northwestern

Big 10 Central:

Wisconsin
Iowa
Illinois
Minnesota
Nebraska

Big 10 West:

UCLA
Usc
Stanford
Oregon
Washington

Play 10 conference games. The 4 in your division. Rotate between the other 4. Play a permanent opponent from another division for rivalry purposes ex: Michigan vs. Michigan State, ND vs. USC, Illinois vs. NW, etc... Fill out with one more conference game. East winner plays North Winner, Central winner plays West winner, winners play in the B1G CG at rotating locations, like the Rose Bowl, Indy, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Chicago.
 
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.

How about the noon kickoff visiting Rutgers?

Travel 2700 miles for a 9am kickoff your time and to top it off, you gotta go to New Jersey. What a pleasure.
 
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.

Yeah, I do. I think it makes sense to join the B1G now that USC and UCLA are in it. In my previous post I laid out what I would like to see happen. Hopefully the B1G invites UW, Oregon and Stanford, along with ND to get to 20. That will keep the conference a national conference, which will be alluring to ND. They can travel to the East Coast(Rutgers, MD, PSU) and the West Coast(USC, Stanford, UCLA) And the PNW(UW, Oregon). They can play USC annually still, hopefully, keep the annual game with Stanford, and then if it's 10 or 11 Conference games, have Navy OOC still. Ideally, in this scenario, I would like to see them schedule a home and home with an SEC school to hit that footprint every other season for recruiting purposes.
 
Cincinnati always has room for one more.
Thanks for the invite, but these fake fandoms need to be organic.

I mean, people can spot a fake fake a mile away
 
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
You’re gonna get dropped for Clemson in a few years though
 
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.

you have some real cuck energy going on here

yeah mostly because people dont see Texas as a big fish any more

See, those kind of games ain't gonna happen. Start time will be 2:30, in September. Every 6 years or so.

I'm pretty convinced there will be several more west coast schools coming along and scheduling will largely revolve around geographic fits. This is just the first shock move. Wouldn't be surprised if the other Cali schools find their way to the table soon.

One thing about the travel, though. The problem isn't the miles in the air. It's the time in airports and hotels. That doesn't change if you fly 500 miles or 2500 miles.

Would be interesting if ND actually did join along with most of the PAC schools. Assuming there will be some sort of divisional order, does ND get fit in with the west to annually play USC & Stanford, or do they slot in with the Michigan and Indiana schools?

Right, and football travel matters very little. It's all the other sports where travel actually does matter since they aren't revenue generators.
