I've beat this drum before. Join the B1G Cohen. Realize that your childhood is over, the Pac 12 is over and bolt for greener pastures. The B1G is a good academic league and you can sell that to upper campus. I have to believe that The B1G would also love to say that they span the country, Ocean to Ocean. We would play football games between 9am and 5pm every Saturday in this case. No more staying up until midnight. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraskaclassy, Wisconsin. Sign me up. West coast football is dead, quit fucking the corpse and join the living. Do it before Oregon does because they care and have probably already kicked these tires in the last few months.

Pretty sure the B1G would drop Nebraska like its hot to get some Pacific coast action. Rutgers and Maryland aren't really doing anything eithertheknowledge said:I've beat this drum before.

Rutgers and Maryland were brought in for TV markets. They can continue to be fodder for the traditional powers in the league as long as they have that footprint to sell come contract negotiation time. Getting the Seattle and to a lesser extent Portland eyeballs directed at the B1G is a no brainer for them. UW and Oregon are also the only two ravenous football fans on the west coast. You could also throw in Utah but, why?RaceBannon said:

People forget that. -
I'm honestly at the point where I don't see a path forward for the P12 as it currently stands.
UW (and a few others) need to LEAVE ASAP to allow themselves to be in a discussion to be relevant. If they remain in the P12 and the P12 continues to be irrelevant, then my support of the major programs will progressively drop year after year until it eventually becomes indifference.
Ultimately, the goal of sports is to win. And if you can't win, then what is the point from a money supporting basis? -
I get that. The B1G network makes more money than the SEC network so there must be something to ittheknowledge said:

And a flask!RaceBannon said:Its not really that complex. People are losing jobs right and left. Quite common really. Most HR types have a list in their desk drawer of who gets laid off
