THE (tm) Official End of ... THE (tm) Ohio St. ... Thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

i tend to think BIG10 schools will fill those stadiums weekly with their fan base. While Cal is suffering, are they more appealing from a marketing standpoint then any of the remaining PAC schools?

while I love my Arizona schools, I am not so sure any other region would be more lucrative from a new media/aTV contract perspective..

Cal is not going to the B1G. Nobody is discussing that as a likely outcome.

Most likely targets?

ND
Washington

Oregon (I doubt it)
Stanford (maybe - I doubt it)

The B1G has now 5 of the 7 biggest TV markets with LA. They area only missing Atlanta and Dallas. I don't think they even watch TV in San Fran.

LOL I still think it's hilarious in these discussions that people count NYC media as Big 10 country. No one in NYC gives AF about college football and of the small amount that do there are more ND fans than Rutgers fans.

They don’t watch football.

My Prediction (and I've never made a solid prediction that hasn't come true)

Big 10 additions: UCLA, USC, Stanford or Oregon, and Washington

Big 12 additions: Utah (ugh) or Memphis, Colorado, Arizona, and Arizona St.

Btw, how happy are Missouri and Nebraska?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Memphis. Lol, no.

I would love to have been a fly-on-the-wall when DDD got the alert..

i wonder if he was equally disgusted but excited by this new realignment..

[jadesroom]

Memphis , yes, because of

• Geographic location
• Rivalries with current members
• Revamped Liberty Stadium
• Solid TV market
• Excellent basketball program

I have been texting with him all day long. Why would he be disgusted? He has been calling this for a long time.
