Mike in Horseheads Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Washington and Oregon have agreed to join the BIG and Arizona the Big12. Just a matter of time b4 Arz St and Utah also go to the Big 12. That will leave Stanford, Cal, Wash st and Org St as all thats left. I can see Stanford and Cal going to the ACC which is crazy just to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletic directors of overachieving high schools are encouraged to apply. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Cal is in serious trouble now... they put up such a stink over UCLA leaving WITH the Pac 12 being viable, so now with the dissolution of the Pac 12 they are really behind the 8 ball. I think they overplayed their hand and are going to pay a huge price. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/14/sports/ncaafootball/ucla-big-ten.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 As collateral damage, what happens with the Rose Bowl now? With the pending demise of the PAC 12, and the expansion of CFB playoffs, any leverage they had of being relevant is gone. I'm sure a CFB playoff game will be held there, but I doubt they will be able to throw their weight around anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year Rose hosts a @CFBPlayoff semifinal & quarterfinal in '24 & 25 playoffs. From 2026 on, Rose Bowl annually will be part of playoffs" / X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need a name-brand football conference to thrive. I doubt they care that much. Sports isn't something that Berkeley lives or dies by.

May Day 10 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 So essentially, we are bounding toward a true minor league NFL tryout league that will decouple from NCAA. I get the evolution, but I hate it. I wish we could have gotten some releases of EA NCAA Football before it got ruined. Essentially, UB/the MAC is IA football now. The question is, would you rather be that? Or be the likes of Rutgers who will be a bunch of human pinatas in the big leagues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yeah, that's what I meant. Essentially the separation between the power conferences and mid majors is going to be much more tangible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda sad when you look back at the old rivalry's that no longer exist and has you said the separation from the "Haves" and "Have Nots" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
