Now that Colorado has moved back to the little 12, it will be interesting to see who they add next. I predict that either Arizona will jump or the little 12 will add UConn.

At some point the dominoes have to start falling. Pac 12 can't continue to lose teams without replacing them. I would be kind of surprised if then next Pac 12 defections don't come in chunks.

Surprised that whole thing went down with San Diego State and the Pac 12 didn't welcome them with open arms.

They probably didn't think Colorado was going to leave, so they didn't think it was necessary to expand.

I notice you really like to use the phrase "little 12" repeatedly. Kind of sour grapes sounding, don't ya think?

I've read that Utah does not want to be in the same conference as BYU...
I have read the same but the PAC-12 is going down in a flaming ball of shit. Also, there are bigger names that have better options than Utah.

PS... it's a conference version of musical chairs. Don't want to be left out.
 
"WE?" - in case you don't know, we've been a member of the Big 10 since 2011; Northwestern's been a member since 1896. If they start kicking schools out, we'll be out on our ass long before they are.
Well of course. The Big brass protects all the scandal riddled member institutions. They would much prefer to kick us out for threatening to play football then the racist and sexual deviant old timers of the god for saken conference. They just bring out the broom to sweep actual scandals under the rug.

They don't deserve to be a Power 5 conference after Texass and Oklahoma leave.

It would be like the B1G losing Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. Let's say USC and UCLA change their minds and decide not to come to the B1G as well. Then the B1G responds by adding Boise State, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Tulane, Marshall, and Fresno State. Would the B1G deserve to be a Power 5 conference if that happened?
 
Thank goodness for OP P5 status isn’t based on competitive results

🤣

I look forward to watching much more Big 12 football/hoops than B1G, as always

And it would be so funny if they added oregon and washington - two schools little dick B1G fans have already chalked up as their own

Does that include the current conference makeup? Not that the Big12 is great or that Colorado will add much, but USC and UCLA being gone from the PAC next year would theoretically make the ACC possibly better than the PAC. And if that is currently the power rankings, OU and Texas leaving will make the B12 slide even more.

just joking GIF
 
I’d be curious to see the measure by which this was determined

A guess: it’s based on media preseason rankings, not actual on-field results

Last year on the field - big 12 went 3-1 vs B1G, including a wire to wire victory by the 2nd place b12 team over the B1G champ in the biggest game of the year

It may have been a joke but this poster is such an obnoxious Big 10 booster - constantly trashing our old Big 8 mates and clearly being inordinately proud of now being a "Big 10 Man" - that I just couldn't resist putting a pin in his ego balloon and pointing out just how very junior we are in the Big 10.
That's rich, coming from the supporter of a conference where 5 out of it's 14 and soon to be 13 members are former G5 teams. If that large of a percentage of your conference consists of G5 teams, then that conference is basically a glorified G5 conference.

what if 4/14 of your programs are ranked below 100th (out of 130) all-time?

The little 12 has a lot of all time historically bad programs. K-State (pre Bill Snyder), Iowa State, and Kansas are among some of the worst programs of all time.

none are worse than rutgers, nw, indiana

those are historical cupcakes that get drubbed by the G5 teams you mock annually

I look forward to cfb realignment when soft mush brains like you can no longer stump for the rapists because of money they will never touch

same goes for hoops, honestly

B1G proudly boasts the 2 worst D1 programs in the country and calls itself a basketball conference despite no titles in 22 years and counting

There's that, and if you want Washington in your conference you have to take Washington State per their state constitution, or that is what I read last.

The balloon is going to burst in time. The money is going to dry up starting with the collapse of ESPN. Their money supply is shrinking with people cutting the cable and with Disney hemorrhaging money doesn't help. ESPN was getting money from people who never watched their channel and those days are gone. If they go strictly streaming their revenues will drop even more, which means less monies for rental contracts paid to the college conferences and professional sports leagues. I think this will be the last huge money telecast rights deal for the B1G and other conferences. In about 15 years you will see the conferences go back to a smaller footprint due to the traveling costs of the minor sports. Ebb and flo of life...

It's Disney's own fault they are losing customers. They are getting what they deserve.
 
Sounds like FSU is really pushing hard for the big revenue ACC schools to get a larger share of the money. They seem concerned about the Big 10 and SEC money leaving them behind. Kind of reminds me of how the Big 12 used to split revenue. I think they split it equally now.
 
Agree, if washington and oregon went to B12 they would only be there until the B10 offered so I don't think the b12 will even invite them. The schools you listed have no better options.
I heard that the UofA football and basketball coaches are telling there recruits that they will be playing in the b12.
