no one gives a frick about academic prestige despite all the circle jerking the big 10 does.

This is about the television partners offering the most amount of money. Washington and oregon have fanbases that care so they have a shot.

Stanford is the Rice of this round of expansion

It would be very weird for USC and UCLA to be the only teams out west in the Big 10. it wouldn't be great logistically for them in terms of traveling costs, etc.

yeah some schools from the group of stanford, cal, washington, oregon are definitely getting invited.

Maybe all of them, to form a third Far West division.

Liberalism and the Democratic party are losing ventures in the USA. Anyone with common sense can see this. Furthermore, the numbers of people who agree with transgenderism and abortions is greatly exaggerated by the corporate controlled media and that includes people in California.

You think ESPN impacted last realignment round, that's nothing on FOX's likely impact here.

-- Already has rights to at least half of next Big Ten deal.

-- Owns 61% of BTN and has been sitting in on meetings w/ other potential TV partners.

-- Based In LA and they love USC.

Two mega conferences forming around the SEC and Big10?

From a Cal-associated journalist:

1.) The Regents do have to approve this decision
2.) Cal has to create an outcome that manages the stadium debt and the ongoing need for revenue (both direct and the large indirect amounts) that come from Cal participating in big time college athletics
3.) If the Regents approve UCLA leaving for the B10, it is very hard to imagine it happening without Cal. If not, hard to imagine the Regents approving UCLA leaving.
4.) There is no middle ground here for Cal. A diminished P12 will starve it of the capital needed to pay off the Stadium, maintain an athletic presence beyond the sports that have evergreen funding (e.g. aquatics, rugby, crew), and fulfill Title IX
5.) The Regents will understand points 2 and 4 well and will act accordingly
6.) Perhaps more importantly, the B10, FOX, and ESPN are all about eyeballs and revenue. Why wouldn't they want the Bay Area? It's one of the six largest in the US. These are the same entities that decided to add Maryland and Rutgers to the B10 not long ago


It makes sense to me that any delay in announcement is coming from the Regents of the University of California examining the situation.

Cal is going with UCLA to the Big 10. This move is a big financial windfall for both of these schools who make a lot of money but who also spend a lot of money as well.

I honestly don’t know how Nike influences ESPN/Fox and the conferences

Oregon will likely land in a conference because they’re a good brand but my initial reply was them going independent which would be a disaster for them.

Oregon brings in a ton of revenue and is an AAU member.

I wonder if the big 10 is discussing neutral site locations for certain sports to limit the literal cross country travel
