The Pac-12 hasn't been a relevant conference in the two high profile sports, football and men's basketball, for several decades, so the move shouldn't come as a big surprise. But they're destroying the character of college sports and, indeed, college life itself. It's no longer an amateur sport with a regional identity. The Big 10 conference will now stretch some 2500 miles, from Rutgers in New Jersey to the USC and UCLA in southern California.
Yep. We'll end up with two super conferences.NCAA football and basketball are in this strange semi-pro stage when they are pretending they are not a semi-pro league. My thought is the B1G Ten and the SEC will hoover up all the valuable teams and form their own NFL/NBA style NIL leagues.
Saw a report that said UW and the Duckies were put on hold pending what the Irish do.Lots of rumors of Notre Dame and UO joining the Big.
Uhhhh what? Texas and Oklahoma are going to the SEC, that's what started all of this.Yep. We'll end up with two super conferences.
The only chance that I can see of the Pac 12 surviving this crisis is if they could poach Oklahoma and Texas from the Big 12.
Yeah, I saw that, but I'm not sure that I'd blame them for USC and UCLA bolting the Pac-12.Uhhhh what? Texas and Oklahoma are going to the SEC, that's what started all of this.
