If the B1G is no option, what would you like to see happen to the Huskies/Pac-12?

Vanilla must be run by the Husky athletic department. I made my pick, it apparently didn’t like it, and promptly did fuck all and errored me out.

Fuck Hop and become a basketball school.

I'm fine with a B12 merger although I'd like to see the "BIGPAC" allocate TV money to proportionally equal the efforts on the football field. If you're a league with 22-24 teams you need to be creative with the payouts. There would just be too many teams for everyone to be equal. If you are top 4-6 in the conference you should get a bigger slice of the pie so you can attempt to remain competitive with the SEC and B10. The Rose Bowl rep gets more $$$ than the Foster farms or Redbox bowl. Right? Cal really only needs enough money to pay their note on the stadium and keep chlorine in the pool. Sell the main viewing rights to ESPN. Then sell the rest of your catalogue to Amazon or Apple. Sell Apple/Amazon the P12 networks cameras and equipment to aid in their efforts to cover the UW/Beavers or Kansas/Houston games. Play 7 west coast games and 2 crossover games. Have the best two teams regardless of division play for the conference title. You need two highly ranked teams playing for a chance at the playoff. You need to sell recruits the ability for your league to be a regular player at the final four. It was either this for me or p-patch.

Turn Husky Stadium into a pea patch and drop football

I am in favor of p-patch expansion, adding more gardens will allow the PNW to have a stranglehold on the Midwest and South, they won't be able to compete...just wont

Fold the program if the B1G isn't an option. No use in continuing the charade of pretending we're a serious program if they cant get into a conference that willingly houses Rutgers and Nebraska

I see your point, but encourage you to channel Churchill a bit before folding like an 8th girl who didn't get invited to the party.

@EwaDawg 's idea is the best idea. Keep the Pac intact ... maybe invite a San Diego State, which could become a powerful program with a Pac X? recruiting platform. ACC keeps its shit together and the bi-coastal thing is fucking interesting as fuck.

Since this is all about TV money and the program start time is now dictated by the networks and Apple and Amazon want in to the network sweepstakes, the answer is to say Fuck You to the EsPN and Fox nightmare stranglehold and create a new exclusive Super Conference League which contains the remnants of the ACC, Pac10, the Big12 and the remaining attractive independent teams.

The caveat being that in order to be a league member the league requires that you sign the agreement that you can only schedule amoung the league participants thereby shutting out crossover games between the Big10 and the SEC... this isolates those two leagues from a future scheduling standpoint and guarantees the remaining relevance of the newly created Super League from a future TV contract standpoint and boosts the probability of a seat at the future playoffs because the accomplished fait of the playoffs then moves to a 6-8 team alignment for sure in order to maintain interest in the sport.

The kicker long term is that the league alliance at the administrative rules level refuses to make TV deals that force conference participants to schedule more than 20% of home games outside of the 12-4 timeslot thereby restoring the value of the homefield ticket for local citizens. The other kicker longer term is that the alliance will offer the attraction of interesting crossover games because league participants will be limited to the scheduling choice of league participants ~ no ABC with the drek mid major or Portland State level gimmie games.

From my perspective, the above is the solution to guarantee future relevance to the remaining leagues ~ the alternative is a slow death scenario, which may be the longer term outcome for the sport anyway in light of the NIL progression anyway. The only way this will work is if league participants agree to sign super long term deals of a decade or more with poison pill truly giant stop sign exit fees if they leave to prevent the otherwise inevitable poaching that will occur from the Fox / ESPN death squads.

If the UC system fucks UCLA and makes them stay with too high Cal I like the bi coastal concept from Cali to Florida
