    I am so sorry you have to do that.

      On the bright side I'm guessing that the mods can delete the Pac 10 groundswell thread soon... We won't need it anymore.

        What a story arc that was, eh?

        I’m waiting for applejack to come back and mock everybody for having interest in the Pac 10.

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                Yeah, that is weird. Good question.

                But I have respect for USC's position. Unlike some BYU fans, they get it.

                  Maybe because USC is not yet an official member of the B1G. That changes on 8/2/2024.

                      That makes sense.

                        Yeah, they're brilliant. No way Oregon and Washington end up in the B1G, right?

                        They sound more like aTm Aggies....

                          Whether they are successful or not, they are correct.

                          I can guarantee you that having Texas in the SEC will have a huge negative impact on Texas A&M. It already has. That is indisputable.

                          • USC should tell everyone in the Big 10 who will listen to bring in Washington and Stanford. Washington is a given, but if Stanford were willing to move (not a given), the Stanford vs Oregon choice is interesting. Run of the mill public university vs a top 5 national school. Ostensibly Bay Area vs small Portland market.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                              They are correct for living in a fantasy world. Got it.

                              There was an easy way for the Aggies and the Trojans to handle this: via contract. You think they didn't ask, or do you venture to guess that the B1G and SEC were not willing to accept that restriction? So, who's the idiot? The people pining for something that would never be, or the people who see the writing on the wall and take an alternative, more stable path? I know my answer.

                                Lol. OK, champ.

                                Can we please stop pretending there is anything remotely similar between USC/Texas and Utah? There are plenty of non-BYU people arguing that Utah doesn't really add much in terms of viewers, market, etc to the B12.
