When USC and UCLA followed by Washington and Oregon, ESPN was effectively shut out of the Pacific time zone. It ain't over until the fat lady sings. ESPN should want OrSU and WSU in the Big 12 so they don't have to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought this as well but it wouldn't be a neutral site some of the time. Geographically it doesn't make sense for the left coast people but they did kinda come into an established conference that has things in place so maybe that will factor in? Maybe they'll rotate locations and Allegiant could host it from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Also, as far as MW expansion I'd prefer they raid the Big Sky. For example Montana and Montana State have wanted to go FBS together for some time and now that the WAC isn't FBS anymore the MW is their only hope.

You've got Clemson, Florida State, and Miami as the premier programs. You'd think that the SEC would a better fit for them than the B1G. Assuming those 3 went to the SEC, they'd need at least 1 more to join unless they're going to a 24-team conference. conferences are looking at more than the quality of the FB/BB programs. it has as much to do with what type of population market they can bring with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I hope Oregon influences other Big Ten football programs to do a similar approach to uniforms. And Will Smith once said "you go to school to learn not for a fashion show". Why not do both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 elite programs (Florida State, Miami, and Clemson) in terms of money. You've probably got 3 (maybe 4 or 5 at most) in that second tier. But it's a very top-heavy conference in terms of value. Tier 1: Clemson, Florida State, Miami Tier 2: Duke, North Carolina, Virginia (probably) Tier 3: Boston College, Georgia Tech, Louisville, NC State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest If any of those Tier 1 schools start calling, conferences are going to start listening. And my question is does the SEC feel pressure to add if one of those Tier 1 teams flirt with the B1G conference. Right now, the SEC is 16 teams when Oklahoma and Texas join. If they add the 3 Tier 1 schools that puts them at 19. Feels like Duke and North Carolina are tied together, so if they both go to the SEC that's 21 teams.

swede700 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Oh, for crying out loud...I'm originally from Minnesota...there's only Minnesota nice, not Midwest Nice. Midwest Nice is not a thing. If anyone is trying to convince you otherwise, they're lying. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
