Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[ScriptOhio]

Pac-12 presidents and ADs have a call this afternoon as well to discuss the issue.

Typical PAC-12 ADs on the conference call:

So much for the fucking Alliance eh? I mean that was toast in less than 12 months?

Hey, that one definitely merits:

11W - "Big Ten Votes To Approve Addition of USC & UCLA In 2024"

It's officially official. B1G is going Mid West Coast. Can't believe this is actually happening

So what (or who) is the next shoe to drop?

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Holy crap

I’m going to be able to do a day trip to Ohio State conference games in a couple of years

Oregon left behind I guess it's plausible for them and Washington to end up in the broken big 12. Not sure on the outlook for Pac 12 football for the future if this officially goes down, but it's grim.

B1G cornered the LA media market, not to mention added schools fitting the conference's academic profile.

That Nike' money won't buy TV ratings.

This is wrong for so many reasons....

I feel like you need at least 3 more West coast schools for scheduling. Washington and two from Oregon, Stanford and Cal?

I'm guessing the B1G wouldn't mind landing Stanford and Cal. Not sure anyone else brings what the 4 California schools add.

Oregon forums right now. Oh my.

I'm not a fan of all this

Eh this was always the envitable conclusion with the way conferences aligned when the Pac12 wiffed on Texas Oklahoma. The only question is how much of the Pac12 gets to join the party. I could easily see Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA. Cal and Stanford might be interested if they want to continue to play the big boys in the age of NIL? But who knows how much the B1G wants

 

[Buckeneye]

Jesus Christ.

Just.... no.

All we need is U of Chicago to come back to make things complete.
