Realistically, we are screwed due to the fact Cu has not prioritized football for the past 20 plus years so now I'm suppose to all of a sudden have faith that they change their ways

I’m the moron who voted for the B1G, not because I think that we deserve it, we don’t. We’ll probably have to take cut rate revenues for it to happen. Looking at the map and the media markets, it’s too lob-sided. I’m taking a flyer that the B1G wants a presence in the Denver market, needs some chum for UCLA and USC so they don’t have to travel so far, places some value in the AAU, and has execs who want a reason to have work pay for their travel to Colorado for weed and skiing. I’ll probably be wrong, it’s happened before.
CU will end up in the mountain west.
I have made it no secret in the past that I’d not mind seeing CU in the MWC. At this point, I prefer the Big 12 with the AZ & UT schools because if the PAC does backfill with MWC teams, Boise State & SDSU will be gone from the MWC. Frenso & UNLV too. SJSU could drop football and go to the Big West.
My reasoning for the MWC was access to California & Vegas while playing local rivals. With that gone, the MWC isn’t as desirable. The MWC will backfill with NDSU & SoDSU and some Big Sky teams…maybe some WAC teams. Maybe NMSU and UTEP.
A move back to the Big 12 is much more desirable.

DiStefano wet dream?
In all honesty, if we could orchestrate a regional conference I think that would be my favorite setup.
Won't happen, but...

10 teams. Play everyone every year in football, twice per year in basketball. Everything in the same time zone with good rivalry games.
No dealing with the crap of CA or TX dictating while never being satisfied with their revenue.
Worked for us in the Big 8 and I support that idea.
I fear that the same thing that killed Pac-12 expansion with schools that would have brought football value (BYU, Boise State, for example) would nix this idea. We've already seen rejection for academic or religious reasons. Fvck, Stanford and Cal were leading voices opposing OU + OSU because they are non-AAU and one's a *gasp* agg-focused university.
The negatives are that we would never be considered a big time program ever again and overall AD revenues take a plunge. We may have already relegated ourselves to that fate, but join that league, and we are the equivalent of the MWC. The positives are as you point out. Can the AD afford to operate in a conference like that? How much does the school have to subsidize the AD if we are in that league?
I think that in 10-15 years college football as we know it will be gone.
The big money will all be siphoned of to the Super conference if that even still exist
The NFL seeing the billions going to a few schools just replaces them with a developmental league of their own taking the top money and athletes.
What remains will be one step up from the current D2.
In that setting Nicks regional conference would be ideal.

LOLz. Youll get like a million a year per school. There is not a single top15 TV market on that list and no national draw. Better to stay in the P12 (if Oregon stays too) and try to add some teams that draw B12
You might be able to go to 12, add per-school revenues and improve recruiting while keeping a tight footprint through SDSU and FSU. Heck, if you really wanted to chase it you could make a play in Texas for TTU & TCU.
Which leads to disgruntled conference members demanding preferential deals while looking to leave for a situation where they aren't carrying everyone else.
Cal & Stanford can go screw themselves for all I care. I’m not worried about this super league being nixed. If the PAC-12 is to remain intact with the 10 schools, the eight schools need to tell those two it will be on their terms or get lost. That might be a message the Mountain schools are trying to send to those two by talking with the Big 12.
If I’m commissioner, my first call is going to BYU. They will spice up this conference like Nebraska spiced up the Big 8. Just look at how many MWC & WAC schools hated them. CU fans will hate them too no doubt about it.
Boise State needs to be put on a membership plan by the P12 to get to where they would be invited to the P12 when they meet certain criteria. That might need to be a 10-12 year plan but those games against the PNW schools will be fun after they get the invite. They already have bad blood with Utah after an incident at a Las Vegas Bowl banquet or something like that. They already have a rivalry with BYU.
San Diego State would be my second call I make. They have a rivalry with BYU and those two would be USC & UCLA’s replacements. Their fans can’t handle the sway that the MWC Front Range schools have in the MWC and on the MWC Board, they were not happy they lost to CU. They still might carry over that attitude against the Front Range schools.
That brings me to CSU. If Utah-CU took off like I hoped it would, i would have no need to say CU needs to be in a conference with CSU. This talk from me ends for good if CU joins the B1G. CU fan arguments against being in a conference with CSU is starting to ring hollow And I think that reality is much closer to realization.
Since Boise State would not be ready, Air Force could be a football only member with an opportunity to join full time. I think AFA will ultimately not join and would leave once Boise State joins.
Frenso State would be on the same membership plan as Boise State. Their football stadium needs to be spruced up and would be a condition towards PAC membership. I think academics need some work too.
UNLV is #4. Every conference needs a bottom feeder.
Then the game gets what it deserves by destroying itself. This wont end if we join the Big10 either.
