    Couldnt find the Big 10 thread

      Holy shit. Not surprising, but crazy nonetheless.

      I think this puts BYUs status in danger as I think the P12 is more likely to snatch up B12 teams than vice versa

        LOL I'm sorry but this is hilarious. I don't know if it will happen, but it makes sense for the Big 10. There would then be two superconferences and the rest of us. Hell BYU would make more in the Big 12 then Utah would in the gutted Pac 10 in 2024 unless the Pac eats the Big 12 (which they would obviously try to do).

        So ridiculous but I just have to laugh at this point. At least Nebraska can keep hammering checks in the cellar of the Big 10.

          I can't imagine any B12 teams wanting to go to a gutted P12.

            I would hope not, but the PAC still has a couple high tier teams in Oregon and UW. Of course B10 may take a swing for those teams too. Crazy times

              Wow. College football keeps getting more depressing.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                P12 has been on a steady downward spiral for years. One of the problems is the time zone. Not sure I see Oregon and UW carrying the conference without USC and UCLA.

                Yeah, it would make sense for the Big 10 to take a hard look at UW and Oregon.

                  Let's say the Big-XII is the more stable conference and looks to add P12 teams, which ones? Colorado has history. The AZ schools are appealing. Washington? Does Oregon eventually get picked up by B1G?

                    Without inviting bad karma, Tom Holmoe should be very insistent that any new members are a good cultural fit for the B12.

                                Well the PAC 10 started all this shit 12 years ago, even swinging (and missing) for the fences trying to form the first superconference. So it's somewhat fitting it ended up killing them in the end.
