    "In the world of the new hypothetical 18-team mega conference you would think that USC, UCLA, UW, and Oregon would be permanent scheduling partners with a rotation through the rest of the members for the remaining conference spots. It would create a nightmare for all your other sports who now have to occasionally take road trips to Rutgers or Maryland but when football is the only concern then that’s a sacrifice the administrators are willing to make."

    That's a good article by Max Vrooman.

    Good news is one day UW will get offer to join B10 as them and SEC each get to 24 teams as the two superconferences.

    Bad News is it appears it won't happen during this go round. Big 10/Fox ran numbers on every Pac-10 school to see what they could bring to table and determined there was two (or SC and they brought along UCLA as a bone for them) that were must haves. If there were any others that moved the needle enough and financially penciled out, they would be in the Big-10 tonight.

    I agree, UW appears to now officially be a have-not.

    The idea of Washington and Michigan State being in the same conference is just wrong.
