Why wouldn’t Oregon do what’s best for them?haie said:

I agree and am thinking that if UW and the Ducks can stay aligned they might actually be able to make some medium dick things happen that favor them on their terms.whlinder said:
The cards we have are that the top remaining P12 brands are more valuable than any individual B12 brand.Tequilla said:

The best scenario for us (assuming B1G doesn’t happen which I assume it isnt) is a combined dissolution of the B12 and P10 where the premier schools form a new conference from the remnants. Probably 16 teams since the geography is so vast and WSU/OSU can be told to take a hike with their high school stadiums.46XiJCAB said:Well you can sit around waiting for the B1G invite or get proactive and merge with the B12. Call it the BigPac, UO, UW, AZ, ASU, CU, Utah, Cal, WSU or OSU coin flip. Gives you 16 teams, East/West divisions with top 2 teams record wise meeting in Conference Championship. The pecking order football wise would be SEC, B1G, BigPac, ACC.
The Big 12 has 4 more teams coming after OU/UT leave and we want no part of that. Best 8 from the pac and Big 12.
They could collectively try to play hard ball to kick out a couple of schools … but doubt that happens
Wouldn’t it be nice if Washington acted like they would do whatever it takes in anything? -

USC and An Ohio State will be hard to overcome consistently but anyone shriveling because of Michigan and the corn or wheat teams should take a perspective walk

Join the B1G, if no B1G then join the ACC as long as ND, Clem, FSU/Miami stay in it. Fuck the Big 12, i could not care less about that conference.

I agree. Somewhere higher on your list should be just to quit.PurpleReign said:Join the B1G, if no B1G then join the ACC as long as ND, Clem, FSU/Miami stay in it. Fuck the Big 12, i could not care less about that conference.

At a minimum, add San Diego St. (brand new stadium) and UNLV and merge with the Big 12 and call it the Big 24 Pac. Shitty programs but good locations to offset the shitty locations of the Big 12. Make Gonzaga a good offer to join for hoops and while your football would be mediocre (like it isn't already) the hoops would be pretty damn good.
At best, blow up the NCAA. Tell them you are out. Get the best remaining 48 teams that aren't in the Big 10 or SEC and create a separate league. Players are already pros. Just go all out. six 8 team conferences. Play the 7 games in your conference and then 5 other teams from the other ones. No shitty non conference games with Montana and Kent State. Make the SEC do that. An NFL type schedule. Every game means something. Then the top 16 teams enter a playoff. Or if you want to make it 3 teams per conference take 18 teams and have 2 play in games.
Bowl games are done.
Go back to basically the Pac 8, the Big 8, the SWC, the Mountain West, ACC and Big East with some tweaks. Sure, it's basically Division 2 football, but if you do it before they leave, it's division 2 football with UW, Oregon, TCU, Florida State, Miami, ASU, etc. The Big 10/SEC can have their playoff game with the two conferences, and all the non conference games with each other and with NAIA teams. We'll be over here having our 16 team playoff. We've (?) proven that we can't compete with those leagues head to head, so flank them. Wouldn't be long before teams like Nebraska realize that getting the shit kicked out of them while having to travel 1500 miles for a short league road trip for money isn't really that appealing and they would be begging to rejoin the Big 8.

Interesting thought. I get that these schools want the money, but wtf are Indiana, Nebraska, and the the vanderbilts of the world going to do long term when their fan base is sick of winning 2-6 games every year?Alexis said:At a minimum, add San Diego St. (brand new stadium) and UNLV and merge with the Big 12 and call it the Big 24 Pac.

UO/UW/Climp/Miami/NC will always make this tenuous but it looks like they're trying to get the ACC and ACC network to consume the Pac 12 into a real partnership to kill the Big 12 atm.PurpleReign said:Join the B1G, if no B1G then join the ACC as long as ND, Clem, FSU/Miami stay in it.

It's pretty much Kilvkfevs's only play at this point to save the conference and even then I can't see NC and Miami really staying. But at least we'd get better matchups than UW Texas Tech.
Or even worse UW TCU. -
Something that I haven't seen talked about much:
What if they just lose Oregon, USC, UCLA and add like a Boise St or BYU to the mix, making it the P10 again?
Clemson has made a living in football praying off the shitty ACC. Same can be said for Houston, Cinci, Boise, UCF, Memphis, etc... Why can't UW do the same?
Beat up on a shitty P10, get a high seed on the coming changes to the playoff, see where it goes.

Well, we’ve struggled to beat Cal, Stanford and ASU for 20 years now.BroadcastingDawg said:Something that I haven't seen talked about much:

Sure. But at least they're not gauntlets in football and basketball like USC, Oregon, UCLA have been.Bob_C said:

It might not be the worst thing to fake looking dominant rather than losing by a field goal 3 times a season and going to the Holiday Bowl. -
I'm about to quit college football. This has gone worse, faster, than I ever expected.
Just going off of feel, not facts, I don't like UW in the B1G. I see UW relegated to an MSU/Iowa type of stature and ceiling there at best.
On the other hand, Okie and Texas have feasted on the weak Big 12 and never been penalized for it when they dominate. Why would UW or Oregon?
Fuck, I don't know. I can't let go of the idea of things making regional sense. The ACC should get plundered by the SEC with the leftovers becoming mid majors. The B1G should fuck off along with the condoms and pussy bruins, and uw and Oregon should have a strategy for how to own everything west of the Mississippi? -
I've got just enough optimism for one more run out of Miami. If they can't get it done now, then it'll be easy for me to LEAVE! All of the other things I enjoy about the game are being dismantled, so this will leave me with plenty of time for a walk on the beach.chuck said:I'm about to quit college football.

Best path forward is to join up with the Big12 and partner up with the CBS muscle and whatever else comes along
The ACC stuff is a short term bandaid on a cut that needs stitches -
UW might want to only have a short-term solution to remain flexible on being able to jump to the B1G if it comes calling in a couple years, though.Tequilla said:Best path forward is to join up with the Big12 and partner up with the CBS muscle and whatever else comes along

No ACC teams make any sense to me at all. The good ones in the south should be in the SEC. Nobody left iver would be worth the trouble.Tequilla said:Best path forward is to join up with the Big12 and partner up with the CBS muscle and whatever else comes along
