    All I remember is his hatred for BIG10 (Well. Maybe just Ohio St. But he is joining their conference now.) and touting PAC..

      It will be nice to see Ohio St. have to play more than 1 ranked opponent each year.

        I’ll believe it when a credible source says it.

          It’s 100% believable. Of course they applied.

            That's a big assumption.

                True. Hopefully BYU applied as well!

                  Maybe things have changed, but in the past schools only applied to the B1G when invited to do so. Meaning that their acceptance into the B1G was a formality. Petitioning to join (or be invited to apply) is something else.

                    Agreed. Pretty sure the BIG10 doesn’t have a “Apply Here” link posted on their website.

                    They pursue you. When interested..

                        Since tOSU runs the B1G I doubt Utah has a chance to get in there. I mean, Utah, with their team in ages, almost beat tOSU’s second team and scrubs in the Rose Bowl. No way does tOSU want play Utah every year after that close call.

                          According to Utah twitter (and utefans.net), USC and UCLA left because they were tired of losing to Utah.

                              I'm referring to the process of applying for B1G membership. Of course, the B1G talks to "big schools" when they call. They talk, negotiate, come to terms. Then an announcement is made, and the team(s) are invited to apply and are immediately accepted. Is not like USC/UCLA applied to join the B1G and then the parties started the discussion. However, I do like the image of Utah mulling around while thinking, I applied to join but just haven't heard back from them...maybe I should try calling.

                                That sounds like a distinction without a difference. But I too like that imagery.
