That Texas vs. USC game is one of the greatest B1G vs. SEC games I've ever watched live.

My buddy in Oregon is telling me the big rumor up there is Oregon to the SEC but is dependent on Washington doing the same....

I live in Oregon and the word is all of the other schools didn't know this was happening until today like the rest of us.  Tomorrow, there will be multiple meetings between the presidents and the AD's.  We'll see what happens.

From a Big Ten board.  It really is amazing how many of them seem to think this has anything to do with academics.  What is that line from The Program..."I don't see 60,000 people showing up to watch a kid take a chemistry test"

Nobody cares about people showing up for a chemistry test or a football game. It's about money, which in terms of sports is based off of TV/media packages.

But news flash to whatever dips#!t wrote that...academic grants bring in way more money than even the $100 million+ we might all be getting yearly with our new super conference.

Texas started this. Either in 2010 or in 1995 depending on how you look at it.

Honestly, I'm glad to be safe in all of this but I'm also just...wildly bummed out. College football is dead. I'll keep watching, because I'm an addict with stockholm syndrome, but all of the things that made me love the sport outside of my fandom for my team are gone. 100+ year rivalries, regional fraternity and brotherhood and animosity, familiarity with your yearly enemies, etc.

All of that doesn't even start to explain how bad I feel for non revenue student athletes. UCLAs press release had some bulls#!t about helping their student athletes...piss off. Yeah your women's soccer players are really going to be served so well having to fly to New Jersey and then Michigan during the school week one week then Pennsylvania and Ohio the next.

 
Good lord, Big Ten fans are losers

Why would the Big10 want either AZ school? Neither is up to Big10 academic standards. Phoenix as a city watches pro sports. AZ has good basketball teams (which evidence indicates they payed for). Tuscon is nuts for AZ basketball. Tuscon is not Phoenix.

Oregon isn't up to the Big10 academic standards either. They also were under scrutiny for paying players pre-NIL. Even with these two strikes, it would not surprise me if they got a Nebraska exception despite our seeing how well that one worked out. I wonder how much we would have to pay Nebraska to move back to the Big12. The improvements in brand and profits might be worth it.

One news report (Norlander?) said that June 30th was the last day that a team could leave the Pac12 without financial penalties. That makes this announcement timing very interesting if the Big10 really was after additional Pac12 schools. I would have expected the first few last week, so that the others could announce by today.

Either Rutgers or us could be dropped with those pods and you would have a nice super conference.

Outside of money, I think Nebraska would fit nicely in a lower tier super conference in the Midwest.  I don't think we are safe and most definitely are at the bottom of this super conference in most every category.  Thank God that our fan base/following merits us something.  :-)

 
I don't really care either way who joins and I find it kind of weird its USC and UCLA.  ND makes sense as they have a bunch of ties with BIG schools and are also smack dab in the middle of the BIG.  NC makes sense for basketball as that is what they are good at and have a pretty good rivalry with IN.  I'ld get Stanford and Indiana ST so you could have two trees battling it out every year.

 
i was just trying to get on USC message boards but you have to pay a premium to get into any of their threads. just wanted to get their reaction to the move
