They had decades to fix this and now their all being left behind. Schools like Washington St, Oregon St...all left behind without a chair left. I feel like their issue was Pacific Time. It didn't mesh with the rest of the country, like Eastern and Central time do to get views. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATX_sig Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hope to see Cal, Stanford join. I always liked the late football games on saturday night from the PAc-12. So those games would continue with some big ten flavor. Nice. Apparently, USC and maybe UCLA didn't want more West coast teams added because they don't want competition from the West coast schools recruiting in LA.

I have family that lives in Washington (Bellevue) and California (Santa Barbara). All are Pac 12 honks. Have been saying for years literally since 2007 that the Pac 12 needed to get creative and the one idea had way back was Friday Night Football brought to you by Apple. When the skies turn dark here in the East/Midwest in October you could flip your tube on to sunsets, mountains, oceans,etc.....and people would watch. No competition on Friday and they messed up. Just one of many ways they could have marketed the conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 This puts enormous pressure on NW, IU, PU, IL, Rutgers and MD. The B1G is becoming a football superconference. Being bad programs that struggle to generate revenue won’t be attractive. The power teams will get tired of equally sharing revenue with the weak programs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I know this is all done with football in mind, but thinking about basketball for a moment, I have a feeling this current round of realignment will be what eventually leads to tournament expansion. Mega conferences are going to lead the charge to increase the size of the field due to larger conference sizes. I don’t know that it will be a huge expansion. Maybe something like going to 72. They could have four 16 seed play ins and four 12 seed play ins instead of the two of each they have now. I’m not hoping for expansion, but just thinking out loud where the current expansion may lead. Also, with Oregon and Washington coming next year, I assume the B18 will have to go back to the drawing board on that new football scheduling format they were so proud of.

They will make players employees and pay them directly. The rest of the programs including IU will have to find other alternatives. College Football has totally ruined college sports for the rest of the sports. I am a basketball first guy so I am more worried how this is effecting college basketball. Just let football do what they want and leave the rest of the sports alone and go back to what was successful in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering how they will do our conference tournament with 20 teams as well. They will have to shorten the regular season to get the conference tournament before the NCAA tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only fair to give everyone a shot to get into the tournament. You have said let everyone in the tournament and my response they already are with the conference tournament. I think the Ivy league is the only conference not to have every team in their tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 I envision that when APRs start to plummet due to athletes being out of the classroom due to excessive travel time that the sham that is being positioned as the “student athlete “ will no longer exist. I can see multiple teams becoming ineligible for tournament play due to not meeting the grade requirements. That will end when it happens the first time and players will become employees who have the option of going to class or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AD at Notre Dame has publicly stated that when this television contract expires he wants them to remain independent. He said that’s what “makes them special.” I hope they get left behind and become irrelevant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
