USC and UCLA to B1G

[Tad Footeball]

Is it the Big 10 or Big 12 that has academic qualifications regarding the amount of research a university must do?

Big 10. But that won't be an issue in this climate.

So if the Big 10 adds 2 to the current 14 to become 16 schools instead of 14 and the Big 12, who has 10, losing 2 and adding 4 moves to 12, then the Pac 12 losing 2 will remain the Pac 12?

 

[Rellyrell]

I hate the ACC so much. I really wish the canes would leave the conference

Bro, I hated when we made this move! I wish I had my college friends on this board to time stamp my words when I said this move is going to fck us over. The ACC is a b-ball conference + FSU (at that time). We gotta go. Get FSU, Clemson & let’s pack our bags & bounce.

Man it’s really going to be some schools and some people who want to see us left at the bus stop holding a 3 ring binder.

Big 10 best fit. Hope the ipf can crank the ac down to the 40s so we don't suck in the cold weather games.

100%. And I'll take it one step higher. We need to make sure we aren't left sitting around watching the chips fall on this one. Nobody wants to be the last person standing in an ACC that loses any two of UM, F$U, and Clemson. Would be absolutely disastrous. Thank God we have a real AD to navigate these waters instead of the glorified ticket jockey in an empty suit we had in charge last year.

And a $$$ dynamic shift within the BoT and booster world.

Imagine how much more money we will have if we make the move to one of these conferences that are making real money off their tv deals

 

[calleja]

Dang... if you like sickos Pac12 games, the countdown clock has started. I love the volatile nature of that conference. West vs Midwest will have a different feel to it. Longstanding traditional rivalries will get swept under the rug... a nice thick rivalry takes time to establish.

 

[Rellyrell]

But, but, but the 3-5-5 model. Lol. Man, let’s get tf outta here. CFB as we knew it, is gone. SC & UCLA is doing what’s best long term for their financial well being. If u saw the hit UCLA AD have taken from 2020-now, I don’t blame them.

Big 10. But that won't be an issue in this climate.

The Big 10 will still want to position itself as the "complete" conference, meaning academics and athletics. They, traditionally, required AAU membership. They made an exception for Nebraska, which had been AAU accredited, but lost it (and expected to get it back). If I remember correctly, Nebraska received less than an otherwise equal percentage of TV revenues until they re-gained AAU membership.

Here is a list of AAU schools, though I am not sure of the date. https://www.aau.edu/sites/default/files/AAU-Files/Who-We-Are/AAU-Member-List-Updated-2022.pdf. USC and UCLA are on it. Nebraska is not. And I think I see they now share revenues equally. So maybe Nebraska was a one-off or maybe you are right and AAU doesn't matter.

Run that by me again.

Yet thinks unc and vt are lol foh

 

[Shogungts]

I have no idea what you've heard and I'm not "in-the-know" here AT ALL but I'd be willing to bet it's true. I've floated my preference to join the Big Ten if (now when) the super-conference model emerges to people more connected than myself and their responses were always extra coy. Basically only willing to drop a tidbit of there being possible mutual interest there and that the people that default to geography (ie the SEC) would be surprised.

The home field advantage for the late season games... cold weather teams having to come down into heat and humidity, Miami having to play regularly in cold/snow. Sadly, I think that would tip more in the cold weather teams' advantages.

[Handsome Squidbum]

We better do something fast, as it pertains to realignment, or we’re going to be left in the dust in this ****** *** basketball conference.

B1G all the way. Always thought a UM USC showdown every couple of years would be fun.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

@TrumpyCane

All yours.

 

[Midlo Cane Fan]

Someone agrees with what I posted earlier.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Big 10 - 14 CURRENTLY
Big 12 - 12 CURRENTLY, plus 4 coming from the G5
SEC - 14 CURRENTLY
ACC - 14 CURRENTLY, not counting Notre Shame
Pac 12 - 12 CURRENTLY

66 CURRENT, 70 "SOON", plus Notre Shame if you count them

Thanks. Everyone saying B1G & SEC eyeing 20-24 schools so essentially be left with Power 3?

 

[423Hurricane]

Add Stanford and Notre Dame and make it 16 in the ACC

As much as I hate Norte Dame, they better figure out something soon or they’ll be left with their ****s in their hands.
