What I think will be proven out is that this move will not end up well for the 4 Pac schools that left. It was a bad move by them.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
I don't know what the situation would be for the 4 corners schools, but we know from the UC regents meetings that UCLA was going to have to pay a big penalty (millions) if they backed out. I would assume that would be the same for USC, UW, and UO, too. They're not backing out.
My bad. The Big X 4.
Life is not real.
TL; DR the denizens of /CFB are grudgingly respecting CP for his response to the death threats on #11. Even Nubs.

I’m telling you, Prime’s prime directive is not being a punk. He’s not gonna cry and whine like most CFB coaches, it’s just not in him. All the haters are gonna die waiting for him to complain—like their coaches all do.
Has there been anything said about Travis from norvell? CP wins again.
Prime’s morals win out in the court of public opinion over an aggressively childish man without personal accountability
Not that Norvell would lie, but I’d sure like to see some of these alleged death threats. All I’ve heard is that “the parents and player are receiving death threats.”
Allegedly they’ve been doxed. Are they getting text messages? Phone recordings? How many, one or two or fifty? All I’ve seen are some tweets that were far from “death threats.” Call me a cynic I guess, but the media should ask for evidence before they report it.
As a Northern California kid, I still have to stop myself from calling them Berkeley/UC Berkeley/Cal Berkeley when talking to people about football. They all assume I’m talking about some FCS school other than the Cal Bears.
Charlottes was pretty good. I actually had to verify via Wikipedia that it wasn’t a different, private religious, school
I love that’s it “Colorado”. I think California is a unique situation. I don’t believe there are any other states that have more than one University of xxx in a power 5 conf, nor have as many University of xxx highly ranked universities.
My 15 year old son uses this all the time. And each time, it’s like he’s never told the joke before.
It kind of is though, but only with regards to him wanting to be shown the respect he feels he deserves. He’s said that. It maybe being at CU that may change a little to where it’s less money and more control (which is what I’m hoping for).
My daughter has a playlist called this. I first laughed, then I cried.

How do you relegate a bunch of teams that were just relegated? Re-relegate?
Saw this earlier... relegation will still never work from the P5 to the G5 because of the $$ involved. Relegation to/from the Pac-12 and the MWC could work though. The Pac isn't going to get more than $10M per year per team and the MWC probably ends up in the $5M-$8M range... there won't be nearly the budget shortfall to account for by playing with a relegation model there. Still won't help the Pac maintain its 'power' conference designation when the playoff is updated again in two years though.

As a foreigner, it was always UC Berkley...and I did look up to there Academics...never thought once about there sports. Stanford different game...love tennis and their history is mighty impressive, soccer of course. Actually like there football stadium and the setting around it. As I remember it, pine trees, sunk-down field, good tail-gate lots around, great bar-hang arounds. Fun times

Growing up in NorCal, I have never heard anyone who had even a shred of an idea about football refer to the football team as anything other than "Cal." Maybe, on rare occasions, they might get called "California," or more likely referred to as the "Bears" or "Golden Bears."
E.g., "When is the Cal game?," "Oregon has one more road game left, against Cal," and so on.
That said, lots of people in NorCal, including many Berkeley graduates, don't have any idea what is going on.
It's certainly a branding issue. But Cal fans, and Pac-10 fans, know that the football team is simply "Cal."
Why it is so, or whether it is smart is different discussion... but if someone refers to the football team as "UC Berkeley," I immediately downgrade their opinion on all things college football.
