It’s just a rumor for now and has a big caveat but something to follow.

Can we request Stanford, California, and maybe even Oregon and Arizona St too?
Don’t think they’ll make that move haha but Stanford, Oregon, Washington would be in an interesting spot. Think the Arizona schools, Cal, Utah, etc could be solid for Big 12.Can we request Stanford, California, and maybe even Oregon and Arizona St too?
Absolutely. They already have some stake out there but with those two they’d have the four biggest tv markets in the US. NY, LA, Chicago, and Philly.First heard these rumors a year ago. The Big Ten network will paying the colleges a lot of money if this happens. Can you imagine the LA TV market revenues?
If you ask me we are very much on our way to three super conferences that likely just form their own division of college football.I think we also see part of the reason behind the foot-dragging behind expanding the playoffs, there is the thought/hope that we are going to at some point lose a P5 conference due to the shuffling, one of them will get to the point they just don't have the quality of markets or teams to be a viable 5th power conference.
Then you can go forward with your 4 team playoff that more often than not will just take the 4 conference champs.
It will be fun at least in the process.This is good news. Why wait 10-15 years to ruin college football when you can finish it off now?
Sign me up to watch UCLA-Rutgers at 9AM PT. LOL.
Would love to see it, how will the Big however many compare to the SEC?
9 game conference schedule. Play your POD every year and the other 3 PODs 2x every 6 years.that would sure help our schedule! Will the B1G add them to the East?
Michigan and Ohio state being separated and not playing annually won’t fly. Would need to swap them and MSU in that model.9 game conference schedule. Play your POD every year and the other 3 PODs 2x every 6 years.

Right. Because the NFL doesn’t have 1pm kickoffs. If you know anyone on the west coast they are use to eating breakfast and watching football.If this does come down, my guess is say goodby to noon kickoffs. 3:30 would put it at 12:30 west coast time. Nobody respectful is up any earlier than noon in LA.
Every time I go to San Diego bars are hoping at 10:00 for nflRight. Because the NFL doesn’t have 1pm kickoffs. If you know anyone on the west coast they are use to eating breakfast and watching football.
Always wished the B1G could have got Texas but this is an acceptable consolation prize. What ACC schools would the B1G seriously consider. Im sure every ACC school is weighing their options today.
The only way the ACC survives this is if they get Notre Dame to join full-time. Other than that, any school not in the Big Ten or SEC better find a way to get an invite within the next few years. It’s only a matter of time before the SEC begins going after the ACC’s southern football powers.When Texas and Oklahoma made their move to the SEC, a lot of people predicted it would trigger a total realignment in college football. They were right. USC and UCLA to the B1G is just as huge...and the second shoe to drop.
If it all goes down as it appears it will, the Pac-12 will overnight become obsolete, and there will then be a wild scramble involving that conference's left-behinds and the already revamped Big-12...plus maybe the ACC too.
When the scramble stops, who knows what the landscape of college football will look like. But it will be nothing like anybody ever imagined just a few years ago.
I really see having two major conferences as the death of college football. Along with NIL, they will have taken most of what made cfb special and turned it into a minor league for the NFL. And the US doesn't really give much love to minor leagues in general. Why watch an inferior product when the NFL is sitting there on Sundays. And I say this as someone who isn't a super huge fan of the the sanitized NFL.The only way the ACC survives this is if they get Notre Dame to join full-time.

You’re not wrong. Why do you think we were so eager to renew rivalry games with Penn State or West Virginia? The beauty of college football was its regionality and I think we are officially past the point of no return.I really see having two major conferences as the death of college football.

I don't think you know how the Big Ten feels about the tTMOSU-Michigan game. They would rather die than let it be played once every 3 years.9 game conference schedule. Play your POD every year and the other 3 PODs 2x every 6 years.

And TV markets like D.C, Baltimore, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincy, Detroit, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Indianapolis. All of those markets (city and surrounding area) are at least 3 million plus, And Ive probably missed one or two big TV marketsAbsolutely. They already have some stake out there but with those two they’d have the four biggest tv markets in the US. NY, LA, Chicago, and Philly.
I don't think it alters "what was special" about college football. There have always been the haves and have nots. Imagine being a fan of a MAC school when you know your season is over before you even play a game. College football needs 3 levels and the highest level should only be between 24-48 schools. Any more than that is ignoring reality.I really see having two major conferences as the death of college football.
