    UCLA is 12-10 vs. Cal in this century

    I’d also like to point out that in the past 15 years UCLA and Southern Cal have combined to win 1 PAC 12 title. This is Maryland/Buttgers part 2. Snagging schools not because they are good and make the conference better, but for their media markets.

    Addition by subtraction, IMO

    Fresno State and Boise State will make the conference stronger

    SEC for sure but I'd happily nuzzle up to that B1G teet

    I don't know why the big boys don't say we'll add a bunch of new teams but they get like 60% shares for a while so you get a raise and we also make more money and just destroy everything.

    Seems like a good way to create dissention and to destroy the league

    Yeah but then in a few years we get splinter leagues and that would be a blast.

    Beginning to see a trend here…it seems the general consensus is we don’t football good. While true for most of the last 100 years, I’ll have you Johnny-come-latelys know we invented the sport and continue to pioneer innovations like hot tub seating at games.

    simply, without Rutgers, you’d all be rooting for your collegiate corn hole and stump teams. So show some god damn respect.

    This is what happened when Nebraska joined the B1G. Took a long time to get a full distribution

    Yeah to get the full revenue share but the comment I replied to I took to mean the Texas/B12 model of some schools getting more than others as a model

    Same, but academics would probably drive us to the B1G. The geographic/athletics appeal of the SEC is strong for me.

    Geographic? Assume that’s based mostly on proximity and not Tuscaloosa, Norman, Starkville > LA, Chicago, Madison

    The fact Washington and Oregon would only bring 63million is surprising and why I think those spelling doom for the acc may be wrong. Other than notre dame, not sure there’s a school that would bring a enough tv value for the b1g and sec to add.

    Yeah, I agree. Notre Dame and maybe UNC seem like the only schools left that you can make money by splitting money with

    Conclusion; if this is all about money, and obviously it is, the next step may be SEC and B1G teams that aren't big draws getting kicked out of their conferences

    Anyone with a pulse knows it’s silly to just include the Eugene and Seattle markets. Portland, while not a huge media market, is certainly a part of the calculus. Would be like considering Nebraska and only using the Lincoln market and not the whole state (and then some).

    Glad the B1G could offer a safe home to USC/UCLA before the B12 murders their conference.
