All eyes on Stanford and Cal now, I guess. I wonder if the Big XII makes a play for them.
Clemson and FSU confirmed they’re all but out of the ACC. I’d say watch for those two next.
Definitely the biggest domino left to fall right now. Big XII might cool down on ASU/UU if they think they have a shot at ACC scraps. I’d personally want VT/Pitt/UL and a 4th team. That last team could be GT/Miami/NCst depending on who is available.
I’d think UVA would be the biggest prize out of the ACC. Academically it’s a fantastic school, and there’s significant basketball and baseball value add, with the potential to improve football.
Ohio State vs Oregon is going to be insane!
Ah yes, the biggest rivalry in college sports. Checks notes The Ohio State Buckeyes versus the Oregon Ducks. Up there with Michigan-Washington.
It’s bittersweet for me as an Oregon fan. I’ve watched the Pac-10/12 for 30 years, and I’ve loved watching my team play everyone in this conference. I know there’s a lot of anger out there right now and it’s justified. I want to keep playing the Beavers every year, but if they want to tell us where to shove it, I get it.
Washington-Oregon-Minnesota-Wisconsin-Michigan, The Apple Division. Maybe a Johnny Appleseed trophy?
WSU fan, I may have watched my last college football game. I have no interest in watching MWC games, and have no interest in MWC programs. This sucks.
WSU is going to have to cut athletic spending so much that I doubt we’ll have much left beyond basketball and a token football program. They ran at a 11.5million dollar deficit last year. The MWC payouts are ~4m. There’s no way to budget your way out of that hole. It’s fully possible the state is going to have to bail out the athletics department at this rate.
USCLA started everything, and we can’t fully blame everyone else for going where the money is, but it fucking blows to be left out in the cold with 0 options.
I really feel for you guys. ISU fan that really vibed with you guys at the Alamo Bowl, and just generally likes your program. I also thought were going to get left in the wilderness a few years back when the Big XII almost imploded. This all really sucks and I wish the Big XII would give you guys a life raft.
There is honestly nothing I could say to make you feel better about this situation. Im sorry CFB bro. Im still holding out hope for you guys to maybe maintain the PAC name and maybe rebuild with you guys at the top! Youre right though about the money. Maybe there is still some money holding all the rights to the PAC name?
Husky fan. I feel you Coug bro. I absolutely despise this. I don’t give one shit about midwest college teams. Fuck the Big 10, fuck Ohio State and Michigan and whoever the fuck is in that dumb fucking conference. Fuck the LA teams for leaving, fuck NCAA and the BCS, and most of all FUCK LARRY SCOTT. I am convinced some entity paid him to ruin the PAC12. Incompetence at that level is almost always driven by a “$pecial interest”. I realize I am ranting. I’m just furious and sad for our West Coast regional college football and all its history and culture. Hearts going out to all yall Dawgs and Cougs hurt by this.
