More follow up on Conference expansion



  • Well guys , sure looking more and more like expansion is coming. - Off the Arizona St boards. Arizona President Robert Robbins has given Pac 12 commissioner til April 15th to have a media deal. Either a deal by the 15 th it says or Arizona will have to re-consider their options which means starting talks with the Big 12.

    Still no media deal and here we are now drug this out to into the middle of baseball season. -Arizona NOT HAPPY.- right now their option is Peacock & and or the CW. - total streaming. A reporter that has been pretty neutral on this thing - out of Ny usually pretty spot on with things says - - -watch out for COLORADO. - Colorado a natural fit for the big 12 and Prime time Dieon is demanding that Colorado go to the Big 12. - -Saying he doesn’t want his kids on any streaming also talking about how the lack of a media deal has hurt the Pac 12 in recruiting, recruits that was interested now turning away because of family and friends not being able to see the kids play.

    Guys things are sure looking more and more like itis HAPPENING like it or not Yomark all over this - would almost be willing you can take it to the bank that Arizona & Colorado WILL be new members with others to follow -doesn’t bother me as it just makes us that that much more secure of a conference- - it’s coming



  • Not sure where to put this, but the Boards of Regents for OU and UT approved their schools move to the SEC during the summer of 2024.

  • @Gorilla72 Who are these teams you speak of? They are dead to me.



  • Guys things are getting really crazy , things are going to get even more whacked. Lots of wheels in motion , The Pac !@ had their meetings a couple of weeks ago - -Big 12 was in same motel a couple weeks ago both in Arizona. -The way the quote was Stated and told .

    One P-5 university President from the Pac 12 said - - It’s not going to stay still , it’s just a matter of WHEN. Aaron Torres a so called insider/reporter for the Pac 12 said that he had talked to a parent of a recruit that was at a current Pac 12 School literally this week, The Coaching Staff of that School told him - - -We don’t expect to be in the Pac 12 by the time you get here.

    The Pac 1 is crumbling - - has been now mentioned that Washington and Oregon have been Vented & Cleared by the BIG to join BUT yet the BIG doesn’t want to be the bad guy to throw the Pac 12 down the toilet People saying going to be a very interesting Summer. – The next wave is coming , They said Pac 12 may be close to TV deal which could be Apple and MAYBE they come close to Big 12 payout BUT the thing is it very well might be 80 % streaming and this is something for sure the Schools do not want.

    As far as the Big 12 possibly between the 14th & 16 that they would be having Big 12 expansion talks and could have or could be solidified in a matter of weeks possibly end of the Month. Now I AM NOT crazy about names being tossed around - -possible expansion - teams not worth a crap doesn’t do anything for the league but some names being tossed around , other then the 4 corner schools are : - -San Diego St , UNLV , U Conn , Memphis , then others further down the pecking order - - -SMU , & Fresno St - - umm no thanks.

    Ahh but now the plot thickens even further, very well a mutiny on the Horizon – A lot and I do mean A LOT of ACC teams are very disgruntled and wanting to leave the ACC, , now the issue is their GOR which runs till 2036 BUT the way it’s stated is that IF there are enough schools wanting to leave - -then the GOR is mute/void - - right now 7 teams want out - -if there is 8 schools then you have what you need for the GOR to be void

    Then if that Happens you have ACC possibilities, you look at or you go for Brand and then Travel - ESPN doesn’t want to lose the ACC might re neogiate would be a possibility but things are heating up all over the place - you might add 2 teams from the PAc most say Arizona & Colorado - -and 2 from the ACC - like Pitt & Louisville has been very poplar --most think that NC goes to the BIG- oh so many tings going o One thing for sure like I’ve said before things are happening - -expansion IS COMING and the Big 1 is in the center of it all. - -Truly looks like ew are going to have 3 super conferences of anywhere from 16-20 teams - -be aware - it IS COMING
