    I agree with that, hope they can keep it together? At least we know it will be through next 23/24.

    Neon convinced the Buff Board to jump, as he knows the Buffs would stand a better chance versus p10. His Cowboy persona fits better in b12.

    Probably a good idea to stay near a bathroom.

    Weird note: One of my daughters best friends is heading down to Eugene to start her college soccer career. One of her main reasons for choosing to play for the Ducks was them being in the PAC-12. Some of the least amount of travel for a Power 5 conference. Kid is terrified of flying….. Shit….. she could soon be playing an IN CONFERENCE game in NJ at Rutgers!!! What a mess.

    They already know the Big12 media deal as its agreed to. My guess is they have intel the Pac9 media deal is not going to be very good or has a lot of risk to be very bad so they are jumping ship.

    Yeah the NCAA should really move football to be independent from the schools conference affiliation of other sports. Its stupid that 20 sport programs with student athletes are having to do all sorts of crazy travel just for a football TV contract.

    Of course the Pac12 Network deal is up right now and is in total chaos because of this. They can’t put a contract together because they don’t even know who is in the god damn conference. Wrecking havoc on the TV broadcast industry. Usually crews anre all set for fall sports and everything is up in the air as of today.

    We'll see, I think this may be cover just in case they don't get the Big-12 invite. They have to see the writing on the wall.

    Whole conference realignment thing has always been a joke. Obviously just about money, but I just have never liked it. My Heels are discussing about maybe going to the Big Ten which will totally mess up the ACC as UNC is one of their flagship schools. Sorry, UNC at Nebraska being a conference game just doesn't sound right haha. Think better for them to go to SEC though tbh if they do move.

    So SlyPokerHorse is, just as many of us suspected, a Clydesdale.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    for what it's worth, this person, Genetics56, has ridiculed the idea of Oregon to the Big 10 for months; a noted Duck hater. Singing a much different tune now

    No brainer for Buffs to b12! From what I understand, it's a good possibility that any new p12 media deal per team, would be based on performance? The b12 offers them a fixed guaranteed annual amount.

    A conference built with an eye on competing with the SEC.
