The PAC 10 expansion groundswell

[All-American]

CU adds the Colorado/Denver market, in theory. Their football has been heading the wrong direction ever since they left the Big 12, most likely because they lost a foothold in the Texas recruiting grounds.

SDSU adds the southern Cal market and is most likely the best G5 team available. Their new stadium seems like it is going to be nice and given the Chargers moved to LA their game attendance should go up. It is rumored that both the Big 12 and Pac are looking at SDSU.

Colorado kind of sucked when they moved to the PAC. Then they proceeded to continue to kind of suck, except for a year or so where they did not suck.

Besides, every conference needs a Rutgers, and CU becomes the Rutgers of the B12.

I can't believe I'm defending Colorado...but I do remember CU winning at least one conference championship in the Big12 and a national championship in the Big8. Colorado does have potential - the Buffaloes are not extinct.

Frankly, programs like Colorado and Arizona could use the change of scenery to start fresh. Colorado just went too deep into the Pac-12 culture that has decimated every other program in the conference that doesn't have money (Oregon) or a stable and talented coach (Utah).

Maybe when Utah has MWC money they will have to let Whitt go… and Colorado can pick him up.

MHver3 thinks now the Big 12 will be inviting AZ, AZst, CU and SDSU or AZ, Utah, CU, SDSU. AZ and SDSU are "for sures", if the Big 12 wants them.

"The Arizona Schools"... So it is looking more like AZ, AZSt, Colorado, and SDSU. Utah must still be thinking the B1G is going to take them.

I think it is looking like MHver3 is full of it and he'd pretty much need a live stream from the Arizona schools discussions to have this information he is posting.

I think he likes antagonizing certain fanbases. It's pretty easy trolling, tbh.

I vote for a permanent ban for anyone who unironically links to a mhver3 tweet.

All in favor?

The PAC's days are numbered... Sooner than expected actually:

Big Ten media rights deal expected by Labor Day, says Fox Sports president Mark Silverman

The Big Ten Conference’s media rights deal should be complete in the next few weeks, according to FOX Sports president Mark Silverman via The Athletic. Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren also told reporters Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days that he expects deals completed “sooner than later.”

“I would be surprised if it goes to Labor Day,” Silverman told The Athletic. Before joining FOX Sports, Silverman served as president of the Big Ten Network, a joint venture between FOX Sports and the Big Ten Conference.

Amid conference realignment talks being the dominant focal point surrounding the Big Ten Media Days this week, Warren was asked what the Big Ten Network’s role in expansion will be. Pac-12 members USC and UCLA are set to join the Big Ten by 2024.

"It could drive future expansion, but one of the things you said — again, back to what I said earlier — I always ask why and why not,” Warren said. “I think sometimes later time zones on the West Coast, people looked at it as a negative, and I always looked at it as a positive. So for us in the Big Ten to be -- we're in four time zones, we will be in 2024: East, Central, Mountain, and West. So now we'll be able to provide content all the way from the morning into the night and lead into some really incredible programming.

Remind me again who was on the Commish's wish list, again.

Edit: Actually it isn't a "wish list"... It is more of a shopping list. Who would turn down a B1G invite?
