If the B1G is no option, what would you like to see happen to the Huskies/Pac-12?

[DerekJohnson]

The ironic thing for USC and UCLA is that if they are the only west coast teams on the west coast to be in the BIG10 and they can not schedule west coast teams to play against them, all of their road games will be out of the area which will hurt them in recruiting...

They can recruit all the areas of the Midwest where they play. They can use the allure of California, such as it is these days, as an asset to their sales pitches.

I wish we were allowed to call for genocide.

Fuck that, Bamma or Bust. SEC

 

[Kaepsknee]

You were close with the first option. Boise St is a much better fit than SMU. But all in on SDSU

@EwaDawg 's idea is the best idea. Keep the Pac intact ... maybe invite a San Diego State, which could become a powerful program with a Pac X? recruiting platform. ACC keeps its shit together and the bi-coastal thing is fucking interesting as fuck.

Also bring in Boise, unless Newsom goes Newsom and makes UCLA come back. And go ahead and do the ACC alliance for 4 years with options. I still think that the ACC will have to let go of Mia FSU Clem and NC eventually. So don’t be stupid and do a long term deal with what could be a ghost conference.

They lose money with Boise dude. It doesn't matter what you think of their brand.

As memeable as the PAC is now its core is still head and shoulders above the G5 version of the BIG12. If George Klavinshinkov is any good he could snag Okie st, the Kansas schools, Baylor and Texas tech (pick 4) and divide money appropriately.

They'll probably stay at 10 unless they add SDSu with a tarred and feathered UCLA.

They have to maximize revenue per school and staying at 10 is a big part of that. Plus Oregon and Washington, and maybe Utah or ASU will demand higher revenues than the other schools.

Aside from Kansas those other 3 you mentioned would lose money for the Pac.

I am beginning to think there is some truth to this. And is probably the biggest reason that a merged Pac10/Big12 will not be joining the ACC for a super conference (agreement).

You could try to make it work with a required annual two games (home and home - one patsy, one power) against the other coast. That might increase tv viewership enough to make it work but not likely.

Sadly, Ewa's grand plan seems destined to fail.

In the short term yes. But it would be a forward looking investment to growing eyes from around the country and staying relevant

Only if they fire DeBoner and hire Pat Hill

Results so far...

Alliance with the ACC 27%
Join or merge with the Big 12 23%
Turn Husky Stadium into a pea patch and drop football 20%

I'm kinda surprised. I thought the Big12 option would win handily.

Riffing here: Baylor, Oklahoma State, BYU and San Diego State (first choice) to the Pac. If we? keep UCLA, drop Oklahoma State. Boom. Beefed up Pac.

ACC stays intact. Great alliance.

SEC still wins 8 out of 10 titles, but at least we're? all still playing big boy football.

Agree with others. You HAVE to do something.

Pac should also cancel all remaining games with SC and make them scramble.

Big 12 alliance isn't a disaster, but it's not good. Kansas is a perennial top ten hoops school. That's about it. It's the best of bad options.

I like the idea of SMU and inroads into Dallas.

I would almost be willing to lose Ore st and WSU if we could get Texas markets like SMU and T Tech.

We could still appease CUOG by having a neutral site rivalry game every year at the pro stadium in Seattle (whatever the hell they call it now days).

The recently floated B12/Pac12 merger by I think Stew Mandel at the Athletic is not something I totally hate. It’s an ok way forward from the current situation if nothing better is available.

I just view the ACC schools as generally more valuable and interesting schools than the new B12. Those schools are more on UW’s level. The only new B12 school I consider on our level - across academis, the entirety of the athletic department, their market size and brand - is Kansas.

This was all just a long con by Petersen to get Boise in the PAC-12. He had us duped from the beginning.

Petersen crafted his diabolical plan with Phil Knight back when Pete was a WRs Coach at Oregon. Tedford was OC at Oregon at the time and was involved in this conspiracy.

It all worked like clockwork.

Washington to the Ivy League per Jimmy Lake.
Give UW’s Administration a break and sever the amount of $$$ and headaches associated with NCAA Division I Sports.
