USC & UCLA to B1G by 2024; conferences react; TV contracts thread
- Thread starter Liontown
- Start date
No school (maybe a few in hoops) makes money on women sports as a whole. Sorry ladies, you’re important for the college experience but not important to the university bottom line.
Anyone who ‘didn’t sign up for this’ can transfer, right? I’d also make it so the scholarship has to be fully covered by the losing school.
Who said this was a life and death situation? This is a PSU sports board to discuss things involving PSU, and it is summer time, there are no games to turn on and watch right now.
In 2020, they present a revised schedule, a short time later, they unequivocally cancel the season. They get criticized and see other conferences not follow, and they change their mind again.
If they are unsure of something, just don’t present it until they are sure.
You might, but we both know it doesn’t work that way. So they transfer to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo so they’re close to home. This is all bout money for the university
Didn’t it work that way with Penn State? Kids who transferred didn’t count against scholarship numbers? Okay not exactly the same but doable….
Of all the hypocrisy exhibited - time, and time, and time, and time again - by the College Sports suits, the "its all about the student athletes" may be the most tiresome and, quite frankly, disgusting bit of hypocrisy out there.
It really takes a magnificently vacuous - and soulless - person to throw up such smokescreens. I think.
UW president says Big Ten move 'about stability'
Washington President Ana Mari Cauce said Saturday that the program's departure from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten was "not just about dollars and cents" and more "about stability."

Why didn’t she just say it was about the Big Ten Academic Alliance? We all know it.
When does she discover that dollars and cents provide stability?UW president says Big Ten move 'about stability'

The only problem is that Washington (and Oregon) won’t get the full member share of TV revenue over the course of this next contract. Still, the b1g is stable (for now).
After what just went down, the first person to cite academics as a reason will be laughed out of town.UW president says Big Ten move 'about stability'

But Washington and Oregon are AAU. Why do you think they were fast-tracked for membership in the b1g?
Just catching up on the happenings. Sounds like a deal breaker. Isn't it all about the well-being of the "student-athlete?" BWAHAHA! Seriously though - transfer?
That’s the thing. It’s not until the 2024-25 school year. I’m not dismissing the dismay, but nowadays there’s an easy solution - enter the portal and transfer to a school that meets your needs. Or stop playing the sport and a “regular” student if being at the school is more important. Unfortunately sometimes life throws you a curveball and you have to deal with it the best you can.
Don’t any of these kids have a sense of adventure? I would think the opportunity to travel to more places would make it a bit more fun. It isn’t all bad (well, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio).
Don't forget the Garden State, home of the beloved rutgres Scarlet Knights. I believe you reside there. Being modest? I'm told that a night out in Camden can be exciting. A real boost to the sympathetic nervous system.
This is just wrong.

This guy gives a nice rant. For those who don’t know him he was on ESPN for a while. Guess he is in the Bay Area.
I just drove by the billboard on Stanford’s campus declaring Director’s Cup #26. They better enjoy it now because all those sports are DOA very soon. No way can they sustain that AD now.

Cal's Wilcox: Pac-12 exits 'sad,' likely preventable
Cal football coach Justin Wilcox, who played in the Pac-10 and has spent much of his career in the Pac-12, called the recent departures of five teams to other conferences "shocking, "sad" and likely preventable.
www.espn.com
"There's no denying the significance of this," Wilcox told reporters Sunday. "This is as big a deal as it gets to be. Really kind of shocking. Personally, it's sad. ... From what I know, it probably didn't need to come to this, but things happened along the way and really unfortunate.”
"The old question of: How long would it take TV money to destroy college football? Maybe we're here," Dickert said. "To think even remotely five years ago, the Pac-12 would be in this position, it's unthinkable to think we're here today. To think local rivalries are at risk and fans driving four hours to watch their team play in a road game is at risk, to me, is unbelievable. ... We'll look back at college football in 20 years and say, 'What are we doing?'"
I bet Wilcox would sing a different tune if Cal were one of the four programs moving to the B1G!Cal's Wilcox: Pac-12 exits 'sad,' likely preventable

College sports are expensive. Conference money matters a lot anymore.
There's no chance that PSU, OSU and UM would agree to that alignment. They want to improve their odds of making the playoff which means they want out of an imbalanced division, PSU probably more than most because they are the one that hasn't made the playoff (yet). In this alignment your Central division is just like the Big 10 west is today, a complete lack of powerhouse programs and a free pass to a division championship.
Exactly...everyone who comes up with these pods or divisions gets fixated on geography....If I was the conference czar and we wanted divisions to determine the championship game, I would do it like this for football. At the end of every year (Yes the divisions would change EVERY year) I would use the final poll results and rank all 18 teams by their poll results 1 thru 18. Odd number teams are one division and even are the 2nd division for next season.
The bottom three b1g teams get relegated to the Pac 12. The top three Pac 12 teams replace them in the b1g.
It's moments like this that OnlyFans is the most viable watching option.This is just wrong.

Arizona president Robert Robbins compares Pac-12's media rights proposal to 'selling candy bars'
Arizona will join the Big 12 in 2024 after the Pac-12 failed to agree on a grant of rights deal

It's sad how weak of a position they are in that the only reason they (Cal & Stanford) might consider the P5 conference with the weakest TV contract (ACC) is because they are in a conference with no TV contract, and which basically imploded in the past week.
But this might explain part of the reason they might consider it:
