Washington not on Big 10's Wish List: Report

I'm calling BS. No way Stanford gets in and UW doesn't.

I've seen four of five articles with the same list of four. I don't understand it but it is what it is.BeerThirty said:I'm calling BS. No way Stanford gets in and UW doesn't.

Even the Big-10 realizes UW is a fat lesbo school. I don't blame them for not wanting anything to do with this dumpster fire.
-
I don’t know shit about any of the realignment stuff but I think if the Big 10 wants Oregon, they’ll want UW.
If they add ND & Stanford, there’s a built in rivalry game there. Take UW & UO and another rivalry game. Match the 5 ex-PAC12 schools and it cuts down on travel for those teams if they all play each other annually.
That’s my hope for UW.
Who the fuck knows and really I care about this shit way too fucking much. -

It also gives Notre Dame another natural rivalry as well. With USC, Michigan, Michigan St., Stanford, Notre Dame would feel even more comfortable. I think there is some merit between Oregon, Washington, and UNC fighting for the other 2 spots. I think Oregon and Washington have the edge, because a 20 team big 10 opens up a 5 team 4 division conference. With the Big 10 west consisting of Washington, Oregon, Stanford, USC, and UCLA.DerekJohnson said:

I see the merit... but... two conference playoff games?greenblood said:

If you go with 2 super conferences, each with 20 teams in 4 divisions, you have seeded conference playoffs amongst the 4 divisions. The 2 winners go to the playoffs.DerekJohnson said:

I don’t like it because the big bowl games will always be superior but it could happen. -
Good luck getting UNC out … that’s part of the final move from 20 to 24

Jeff Ermann of InsideMDSports is your source?
-
Guy called the Maryland move to the B-10. That gives him some cred. I just don’t see UNC, makes no travel sense. It’s ND, Furd, UO and UW.whatshouldicareabout said:Jeff Ermann of InsideMDSports is your source?
Did read a source on tOSU claiming ND and Furd would be announced this week.
Those are the 4 that make the most sense and it gives the B-10 nearly 1/2 of the PAC-12. -
I like to think of it as the collegiate NFL. The Big 10 (afc) and the SEC (nfc). 4 team mini big 10 playoff and a 4 team mini SEC playoff. Each conference winner then plays the other for the National Championship. Creates an 8 team playoff.DerekJohnson said:

Agreed that Stanford gets a big added bump by being a ND historical rival. ND will only fully join a football conference if they can continue to play all across the country and maintain their national brand. The B1G as constituted now gives them that.greenblood said:

If this all happens this year I don't see how UNC gets out of its grant of rights through 2036, but otherwise it would be the logical top candidate in the east.
A 20 team B1G, with ND, likely picks 3 from UW/UO/Cal/Furd
A 20 team B1G without ND probably doesn't happen for a while, but would probably have UNC as the additional eastern team.
A 24 team B1G would require ND and would open up potential options for Colorado, an Arizona school, Georgia Tech, Miami and others... -
Not on this topic it doesn't. The B1G doesn't give a flying fuck about Maryland anyways.46XiJCAB said:

I'm tuning out on all this shit for a long time. I'll see my fellow doogs in the Shit 12/Big 12 in a few months. -
Yeah, Stanford doesn't make a lot of sense in a lot of ways, but they do open up Big Ten to a big TV market on paper, open up recruiting in the Bay Area (even though it's dying) and the Central Valley a bit, and a ton of Big Ten alums, and I'm sure wealthy ones are in the Bay Area. Also gives the LA schools someone to play with less travel.whlinder said:

Most articles I’ve read say Oregon and Washington top 1 and 2 candidates.
I vote for pea patch. -

North Carolina is a head scratcher to me for two reasons: they're relative nothing football school, and their basketball "brand" is eastern seaboard and very much tethered to the current composition of the ACC. I mean, maybe conference affiliation doesn't matter as much in basketball ... you play so many games that you can just keep playing all these same teams. But IDK. It seems like a bad arranged marriage. UNC and Duke will always been UNC and Duke, and no new rivalry in the B10 will even approach that game. Seems odd.WoolleyDoog said:

One other thing: agree on all counts relative to Notre Dame, but I'll just say that the ND/Stanford "rivalry" is a weak one. ND/USC is balls. ND/Stanford just doesn't play as well. But apparently they care about it and they're in the driver's seat. -
There can only be one UW in big 10

Again if UW vs UO is on ABC at 1 pm and UW/UO aren't talking to big 12 and all the smoke from the beginning has said UO/UW talking to B1G, plus UW removing all Pac 12 logos from tweats, then there's a really really good chance this is headed where it needs to.
But members of these obscure media sites that in no way respect western American football seem to act like if you don't include UNC and Duke football than you're losing out on money.
There's obviously a ton of negotiating and posturing and hopefully this doesn't drag out for 2 years. -
Stanford are the golden domers alter boys. If nd says throw in the trees and you've got a deal its done.BeerThirty said:I'm calling BS. No way Stanford gets in and UW doesn't.

Lots of Twitter handles trying to make names for themselves right now. If anyone feels like getting Twitter likes rn you can just put "college football reporter" in your bio and come up with a spicy take every 16-20 hours
