Re: Conference Realignment..?
And the shot at the Apple+ deal being like selling candy bars. I saw somewhere (wish I could attribute) that in the Pac-10 ASU's average road trip - playing all other 9 teams - was 919 miles (ish). In the Big 12+4 it would be like 1,140 if playing all teams, but if just WVU and UCF taken out - whic...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
lol indeed. i wonder if you're really keeping up with today's environment which is odd given what happened to the 100 year old pacific conference last week? Who are in the M7? Clemson, Florida State, Miami, UNC, NC State, Virginia, and Virginia Tech banded together this Spring to form a cohesive blo...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
why would the Big12 (Fox) partner with the acc (espn) in a deal orchestrated by espn? fox will want to upgrade their asset list adding teams like unc and uva to the big. espn will want to do the same adding fsu and clemson to theirs, the sec. the remainder, well many anyway, will find a home in the...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
the next realignment will involve the acc. either an alliance with the b12 of some sort designed by espn, or it will dissolve as well with most headed to the three power conferences, but some schools left out, e.g. wake and bc. i'm not sure which or when but it will happen.

Re: Conference Realignment..?
yet to be written. but yes, i expect coach klieman's record will surpass coach snyder's. and it won't be close judged by championships, nfl talent, and such. it will be a bit like self replacing roy, methinks. klieman however did not have to turnaround a morbid program as bill did in relatively shor...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
your k-state reference is odd given klieman is coming off a b12 championship and picked either first or second going into this season. he will win more championships than bill snyder. he will take the wizard's program to another level. better recruiting and a superior staff will be the primary reaso...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
the ku/uofa basketball series will be an instant rivalry. it should be an annual home-and-home adding uu and byu football is a significant upgrade. the conference is now on sound footing with the four western additions. how people can be negative about this is beyond me. four pods make sense to prot...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
four pods:
k-state, isu, cu, ku
uu, uofa, asu, byu
txt, osu, tcu, baylor
houston, ucf, wvu, nati
then when the acc bursts
ncstate, pitt, the ville, v'tech
the trick will be blending uconn and the zags when yormark brings them in the fold which should be soon.

Re: Conference Realignment..?
i see the purpose of the b10 here as a classic "false flag." use it as an excuse for the four-corner schools pulling the plug first, joining the b12, breaking the league, so the b10 is not accused of destroying it altogether, but rather coming in later as a white knight saving oregon and u...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
A group of Big Ten presidents have begun exploratory discussions on expansion in light of Pac 12 uncertainty, industry sources tell Yahoo Sports. Focus is on possibly adding Oregon and Washington to move to 18 members or Cal and Stanford to reach 20. https://t.co/0kJj4twFdq — Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
ku/uofa will develop into a huge rivalry, must see tv. cu will be like hand-in-glove, never know they left. utah/byu already is a holy war. this newly aligned b12 will put that one on the front burner. ucf is the outlier, pretty much. but beyond them, they'll be plenty of new rivalry stuff if this c...

Re: Conference Realignment..?
clemson and fsu breaking the acc would be no surprise. where they find the acc payout is another story.
certainly, uw and oregon going to b10 is logical, bringing the guillotine to the p12.

Re: Conference Realignment..?
the four-corner schools seem so b12-logical to me at this point, oregon and uw not. but who knows what's next in this goofball world of college sports? i do believe we're headed for three mega conferences (looking at you notre dame).

Re: Conference Realignment..?
arizona likely has the first option with a drop dead date. word is that media partners want this expansion to stop at 14. uconn could have the second ticket but not sure they have the chops to buy their way out of the big east. and how could the league pass on utah and/or oregon if they apply? uw is...
