Yeah, I was referring to the “have nots” - take West Virginia for example. NGAF, except their fans, where they go. Like I said, Texas and Oklahoma are grabbing the last few life boats…while UW will be clinging to a piece of driftwood telling Jack how they’re not going to let go,whatshouldicareabout said:
Realignment is making sure Texas and Oklahoma are included in whatever semi-pro league the SEC will regulate. The NCAA may be dead, and conferences will be around to regulate themselves.Doog_de_Jour said:

Rowing matters to UW, like a lot, but the next 50 years of college athletics are going to be determined in the next 50 days, and we're in a weaker position that we should be because of her negligence towards football and overall athletic positioning during her tenure, and she doesn't have the vision or attitude required to navigate what's coming.TitanicNCAA.
We all know who is getting a life boat.
If the ACC and SEC form their own league, I'm guessing the B1G and Pac-12 will look to form the other. -
This website is ridiculous.
UW is a top 20 program by all metrics. It brings a massive media market, history of success, big fanbase, legit stadium etc.
There is not a world that exists where UW gets fucked out of a "superconference" merger.
Too much money is at stake for the University, which has shown a commitment to improving the program since the Ty Willingham cratering.
A lot of poasters have the perception that UW is a top 10 blueblood from an expectations perspective, while on the other hand treating UW like the KSU, okie lites, and WVUs of the world when it comes to realignment.
Yall need to get your shit together, grab the significant other, and take a walk on the beach -
This. We are NOT a Top 10 blue blood. Never have been. We ARE a legit top 20 program rather easily. No other program west of Austin could put 65,000 to 69,000 in Husky Stadium after Owen 12.PostGameOrangeSlices said:This website is ridiculous.

I don’t have a beach or a significant other, so get out of here with your perspective privilege!PostGameOrangeSlices said:This website is ridiculous.

Jesus I hate these,
but the hypothetical BoneG/Pac12 conference in the west/rust belt, SEC/ACC in the east/se as someone mentioned, would be ideal for college football in that you can make whatever dumb shit playoff system with X teams needed to keep Stephen A Smith's contract going, the fans would love it as it keeps the regions intact, you probably keep all the bowls people care about as venues, etc etc...
ESPN wanting SC, Oregon, Ohio State, and Michigan to join the SEC and make a 18 team super conference isn't going to cut it, and they know this. You lose way too many large markets. There's no other show in town on a crisp fall Saturday morning waking up hung over getting your blood mary in gear. They know they're leaving too much money on the table.
ESPN probably owns the Eastern Conference, Fox the West/Rust Belt conference. Pretty easy. -
That's my reaction as well. 1b is actually just fine. King of the midgets is not a problem.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

No matter how the realignment shakes out, when the music stops, UW will be left standing, with its
dick,vagparts in hand.
Her comments will include something along the lines of "We're more concerned about OUR student athletes and that's what we will focus on. We have an amazing tradition and a great fan base that will always support our student athletes."
