    Big 12 and PAC should remain as is. Winners of each play in a CCG. They become divisions of a single conference basically

    why not? You have two large conferences with two regional divisions.

    similar to every other league

    At what point do the big conferences shed the dead weight and keep more money for the big draws ala super league

    Believe it or not, the Big Ten isn't at home. Please leave a message at the beep. We must be out, or we'd pick up the phone. Where could we be? Believe it or not, we're not home!

    Can someone explain to me why this keeps getting discussed like it's college sports? Do we really need to keep pretending here?

    All we care about is gambling on these games anyway, which we already get to do.

    What happens if zona and ASU go to different conferences? Do the electoral votes get split?

    pretty sure KU really wanted in when the B1G added Nebraska and then Maryland/Rutgers and they were told no pretty quickly, if I recall correctly

    We are above average to historic in basically every sport except football plus an OG member, along with the Indy ties. We are about as safe as they come

    I have been busy for the past hour and this discussion is moving a million mph so I apologize if this has already been discussed but...what about Stanford? In addition to Oregon, they've gotta be the other PAC school that's more than worthy of being with the "in" crowd.
