USC/UCLA sell Pac 12 couch

How can anybody look at this and keep going on about how it's all about media markets? The most valuable college football property is obviously the SEC, the map in the above link would have you believe that their media market footprint is absolute garbage. It is clear that marketing and "being good at football" are also a huge part of the value proposition a school brings.

Colin Cowturd was talking about how most of the PAC schools are located in cities that have other pro sorts teams they have to compete with for customers. True for at least half of them.
 
Our main hope is that @Logistics will save us and the B1G will need 20 schools (to make four pods of 5 teams or 3 pods with 6/7/7). Or 21 schools with three pods of 7.

This shitshow is well beyond my abilities.

Later, guys.
 
it wouldnt surprise me to see some fucked up ACC/P12 'merger' between most of the teams in those conferences or uw/oregon/boof/youte go to big 10.

coug/beavlet probably wont make it.

just what im hearin....
 
I like the coastal war idea. At least as insurance vs getting folded into the MWC.

B12 is dead. Acc still has some juice and fun matchups.

We need to stay relevant enough that when the ultimate inevitably super conference merger happens, we're in.

No one seems to have a clue what’s going and here’s one more

Oregon and Washington to the Seattle Storm! Hardy har har.
 
There’s rumors that the big 10 wants 24 teams. Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and cal are basically locks

They also want Florida st and Miami. Miami and the sec don’t get along so big 10 is a better fit for Miami. They’ll want Florida st for the name and natural Miami rivalry.

That leaves 2. A lot of talk of Notre dame and Virginia. If Notre dame still says no. It’s Virginia and Virginia tech.

4 pods with six teams

Oregon
Washington
Cal
Stanford
UCLA
USC

Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota
Illinois
Northwestern
Wisconsin

Ohio state
Michigan
Michigan st
Penn st
Purdue
Indiana

Virginia
Virginia tech/Notre dame
Rutgers
Maryland
Miami
Florida st

That third pod would need to be tweaked though. That just seems brutal.

IMO the 2nd pod needs the most tweaks. That’s a pathetic grouping headlined by Wisconsin? Iowa?

Florida won't let FSU or Miami join the SEC, so it makes sense for the B1G to target them and get a foothold in the state.

The B1G is in the drivers set for establishing a new era of CFB, so it's chinteresting to see they're only talking about school revenue instead of attempted to leapfrog the SEC in terms of political power

If the coastal thing with the ACC can get around 85 cents on the dollar of a B1G deal I would rather do the coastal thing. Of course, it's way more complicated to arrange and ultimately likely to net less money so it won't happen.
 
if you're notre dame, it better be a metric fuckton of money to get you into the big 10 and out of that cakewalk to the playoff schedule.

That cakewalk hasn’t had any icing for years.

They get there though

Killed by Bama in the 12 championship and two CFP appearances

They should really look at hiring Brian Kelly. Or Brian Kelly.
 
If Notre Dame joins it goes to the third pod with PSU to the eastern one.
And with that you could maybe mix up some of the 2nd and 3rd pods for more competitive balance.
UNC has to be in the mix for the eastern pod with UVA.
