I am pretty sure nik is podding a response as we type....
Truly the high level of commentary and analysis we've come to expect from our resident fusker tool
OSU?

That clown is still around?
The problem with the Pac-12 in a nutshell is that Cal & Stanford are some of the highest resourced universities in the conference which academic leadership in the West and the 2nd best home recruiting grounds and media market... and they have no fan engagement in the online discussions, horrible attendance at their games, and no mentions other than the occasional media comment that it's almost inconceivable that 2 schools like that could get relegated (and that's the attitude which hamstrung the Pac-12 & led to those 2 schools doing everything wrong for football & revenue the past decade).
Pods are really the only way to do this so that it's relatively fair for everyone in terms of access to different regions and you get to develop some rivalries.
It's also pretty clean, except for the eastern most teams. Then it gets weird.
UU, UA, ASU, BYU
CU, KU, KSU, OSU
TCU, TTU, BU, UH
ISU, Cincy, WVU, UCF
Yeah.
It will be interesting how they balance it all out. Everyone is going to want access to Florida and Texas every year. And I guess they may also want to mix the g5 adds with the p5 adds for fairness too
No, tell 'em to fvck off to the MWC where they belong. EOS.
Not sure how you think the Big 12 will ever be a super conference. It's very solidly 3rd. Which means it will survive the longest, but there's the B1G, the SEC and everyone else. We're everyone else.
And Prime will do his best, but I seriously doubt we can make up the necessary ground to join that group.
I'd assume each team has 3 proximate or historic rival schools they play each year as protected annual games and then play everyone else every 2/4 years. Could be pods, but could be that each team's 3 are individualized to max ratings.
I would rather:
UU, UA, ASU, CU
BYU, KU, KSU, OSU
UCF, WVU, ISU, Cincy
TCU, TT, Bailer, UH
Send the Mormons back along the Mormon Trail to play their pod roadies.
It will survive as long as the other 2 don't want their teams.
Your intense hatred of utah is inspiring. I’m here for it.
So we're the 7 that the hot girls allow to hang out with them because they aren't a threat. Sweet.
It does sort of burn like a thousand suns, doesn't it?
I think it’ll come down to how the ACC gets carved up.

What gave it away?
Yeah we've probably agreed to the slow death rather than the quick death of OSU and WSU. But it is going to be interesting to see how OSU and WSU react litigation wise and if congress starts to take an interest since the B12 and ACC left behinds is probably a pretty big political block. I still think 40 is too small, but if we make it in we'll be in the last group. The P2 may decide it is politically expedient to leave the Big 12 as a "P3" that thinks they are in the club while spending them into oblivion and always winning everything. Realistically that's not really different from how the last 10 years have worked. Maybe some of these schools will start to realize this model isn't all that fun when fewer big boys are having winning seasons.
If congress wants to be proposing CFB litigation they should actually be looking at this rather than legislation that prevents kids from transferring for 3 years. The NCAA always likes to cry about guardrails...how about guardrails against TV network cartels.

They are the one that's confusing. Stanford can easily go independent and join other conferences for their non football sports. Cal has to be in a conference but their debt is too big like Wazzu to join the Mountain West.
I give the Pac-12 a 50% chance at survival but they gotta act fast. I would go at the American, Sun Belt, and Mountain West and see what you can get.
At the end of the day, it's all about subs with Apple and at least for one year, you still got A5 status in 2024-25. So you got a lot more than other P5s think you do.
Yeah what's the difference between Utah & BYU?
