So long to the PAC12

[Reason2succeed]

The PAC 12 has just gone the way of the Southwest Conference. It?s over. Other conferences will pick up the scraps. If not, whatever is left of them will be considered G5 at best.

Over 100 years of CFB history gone in a matter of days.

Washington State is deceased. Oregon State is probably dead. Stanford will survive. Not sure about Cal.

It's a shame. I liked regional conferences but no turning back now.

Huge "get" for the B1G...

With the recent additions and resulting new conferences, the SEC's lead over the B1G grows by only 1 since the inception of the BCS....

last 25 years:
now it's SEC 17 B1G 3

good for them...

[The Federalist Engineer]

BIG 12 is now the pirate colony of misfits, rouges, knaves, whores, pickpockets, smugglers, and villains.



They are picking up Arizona, Colorado, and the other PAC12 rabble.

The Big 10 will take Stanford is my guess. It's a super rich and prestigious school. Routinely wins the Director's cup for athletic success. Stanford has presidents, CEOs, senators, actors, billionaires, Nobel winners, and a wealthy national alumni base. Plus, it makes sense for UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington to have proximal schools.

I'm losing interest in college football. I will certainly still watch, but my interest level continues to drop

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

It really is pathetic that tradition, history, the rival fans getting to talk about the game against each other etc are all going away so a 110m athletic budget can become a 120m budget.

West coast teams playing @Maryland? Nobody gives a crap in either fanbase. Seriously imagine if we played Minnesota instead of Ole Miss? That's boring for all of us. Kids in MS would care less for both State and OM. Dads wouldn't take theor kids to games because the Dads don't care about Minnesota. You don't work with any Minessota fans to talk too, only other Stats fans will care.

This crap not only kills the Oregon States that get left behind, it kills the teams leaving g too and hurts the Big-10 schools. They just don't know it because they've got an extra 10m in TV money in front of them.This isn't what college sports was supposed to be. Fells very much like Pro teams moving cities and abandoning their loyal fanbase all for an extra tax break on the new stadium where they're moving too

How can you miss *checks notes* Penn State and Washington?? It's a great game every year with so much history!!

Washington fans want to play WSU, Oregon, etc. That's who their friends are fans of, that's who they want bragging rights over. They just got told to go F themselves by the AD, president, and the politicians that vote on this stuff.

Esp when you consider tradition is a huge part of college football's allure

[Tater]

College football is just going through a more pronounced D-1 and D-1AA split.

B1G / SEC / top teams from ACC that get picked off will be tier 1

B12/ACC skeleton will be tier two and dominate MBB.

AAC / Fun Belt / MWC will be tier 3

MAC / CUSA will go down to FCS.

Each tier will have their champion of sorts. The question is will their be relegation and promotion. We better hope not.

Exactly how I feel, you nailed it! Great post. I?m like 7 I?ll still watch but I?m losing interest and won?t watch as much as used to for sure, to many other things to do.

The end game is 2 super conferences of 20 teams the BIG and SEC. I believe the end game will be realized in 2 or 3 years. The BIG will get ND and I believe Cal to cement the Bay Area footprint. I believe that the 2 super conferences will ignore the expanded CF playoff and settle a national champ between themselves. The rest of CF will be the football version of the NIT?

Sad, but there will be several "Washington Generals" in these two mega conferences with not much for fan bases to hope for, (even worse than what we have now). Not being in the super conferences will kill many programs.

When you say kill many programs are you meaning competitively or monetarily? Maybe welcome to THE HUNGER GAMES?

Probably some of both. Without $ in today's minor league "Student Athlete" sports, will be even more hard to compete. Guess they will still need cupcakes for Home Coming games.**

Check this statement. I believe that the ACC Grant of Rights is not iron clad because of it.

Yea but that's the same shit Techsa did to Mike Leach. I doubt another or multiple universities are going to let that state law trick work lmao. It'll go Federal. Mike kept getting the run around and couldn't push his federal.
