USC and UCLA to the Big Ten

[Stern]

RIP Pac 12, ACC, and Big 12 with this news today.

USC and UCLA leaving (assuming report is true) is beyond huge on so many levels. It's the LA market leaving the Pac 12 and west coast with nothing.

SEC and Big 10 will each have 30 or 32 schools, they break away from the NCAA. Don't have to worry about any rules at all. Cut their own TV deal which will be on the level of the NFL money wise.

THIS.IS.HAPPENING!

RIP, PAC12.

Swofford will go down in history as the commissioner who destroyed the ACC.

I’m not sure about that. He was also the ACC commissioner who tied Notre Dame’s hands to the ACC.

 

[Orangefizz]

If they want to be "True" super conferences then they need to get rid of the dead weight...ie: Rutgers, Vany, etc...

In a two super conference model you need some dead weight. Otherwise all the teams will beat up on each other

 

[Jake]

Welp….,we’re screwed. FSU and Clemson can’t be far behind.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Under this model the SEC will pick off seven or eight ACC teams to get to 24 members.

Why? Schools like Notre Dame, SU, BC, Pitt, UVA, UNC, Duke, GA Tech, Miami have more in common with the B1G schools. And if the B1G struck first they could convince FSU and Clemson as well. The B1G could easily get to 36 teams and leave the SEC with leftovers (some combo of NC State, VA Tech, Louisville, WV, Oklahoma State, Kansas State) to get to 18/20.

I’m sure it will happen . It’s just no as fun as it was in the old days , legit reasons set aside

 

[MikeSU02]

I can't keep up with this.

Just stay competitive in basketball.

Just be fun and at least entertaining in football wherever we end up.

College sports has fully taken a backseat for me, regardless, outside of Cuse.

I'm going back to following NBA free agency now.

RIP, PAC12.

The remnants will probably grab a couple from the Big12 or Boise and SDSt

Well screwed for football. I'd be quietly tap dancing with the Big East right now about the basketball project Gavitt started with us as his engine.

As for football, i'm at the point where wherever we end up will be probably the level to which we should be playing football. If it's a lower level than the ACC so be it. The ACC has never appealed to me football wise. It was a decision based on money and money will end up destroyign said conference.

 

[TexanMark]

So where are Clemson and Florida State going?

No where for awhile. We hope

Don't worry we have the Alliance. Leaves the room.

I don’t see it that way at all. I think the Big Ten will capture 9 Pac 12 teams plus Kansas. I expect the SEC to counter with 8 ACC teams

The SEC might offer the ACC schools, but IMO the ACC schools would prefer the B1G.

Again I respectfully disagree with your comment. I think the southern ACC schools would fit in much better with an enlarged SEC conference, especially if the BIG expands west

 

[TexanMark]

BTW, it makes no friggin sense for USC and UCLA to move to a Midwest centric conference.

College sports are being ruined.

 

[oldpinepoint]

wouldn’t surprise me if the sec and the b10 strike a deal to carve up the ACC. Will be very interesting to see how this all shakes out.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Sure it does, money and
Security.

 

[Orangefizz]

Welp….,we’re screwed. FSU and Clemson can’t be far behind.

I think we’re already screwed; how does Syracuse realistically compete with large southern public school in the new NIL environment?

I don’t think they will be moving to the Big 10 alone. I fully expect Oregon Washington California Arizona Colorado Utah Stanford and Kansas to join them

 

[oldpinepoint]

I disagree; hiw does Syracuse realistically compete with large southern public school in the new NIL environment

I think we are screwed as well

3-5 hour flights?

Academics will be a joke
