Gonzagafan2021 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Seems like UTEP has been playing well recently. Maybe the MWC invite might come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't the Big12 just poach ACC leftovers like Pitt, Syracuse, and ect taking who they want and leaving the rest. That aside, there preference is an Eastern Conference. They sure as hell won't join the SBC with Marshall. 1 Quote "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories." Americans Mayor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpack1 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The only way West Virginia has a shot in the ACC is if ACC is raiding by someone otherwise West Virginia is stuck in Big 12 unless a new conference comes along. To me Cal to Big10 would make no sense at all, when B10 expands again I would look at Oregon and Washington as I think they have more upside than Cal and Stanford do. Honestly if Pac-12 blew up, which I don't see happening, but if did I wouldn't be surprised maybe Colorado as one of those teams left out and maybe joining MWC to survive.

It's becoming more and more diluted with each passing year. Could easily cut thirty teams and still have several that don't belong at this level 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpack1 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Isn't he another one of these long line of people saying all these conference changes were going to happen and never did? Last I read they didn't have the finances to move up to FBS level which for many schools is a major consideration now. There athletics are next to nothing, their football team has popped up last few years but they are having a losing season again this year.

Purdue, despite being in the B1G isn't playing the same game Ohio State and Alabama are. And I'd be fine with BYU not being one of the 40, because even though we can rise up and beat some of those teams sometimes, we're not playing the same game.

UC Board of Regents played their hand, and while the B1G might be stuck with them via UCLA, I can't see them ever letting that group get a second seat at the B1G table by bringing in Cal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like U$CLA belong in the PAC. Rutgers and Maryland also do not belong in the B1G geographically or athletically. Cincy and UCF are massive geographical outliers in the New12.

I watched their game against Pitt it was electric they belong in the ACC i agree but then who could join with them? Uconn maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 i think the Pac12 will sign a new deal with ESPN or Fox and then streaming with Apple and Amazon I think they will need to replace USC and UCLA by adding San Diego St. and SMU this will stabilize soon in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
