I feel that what the B1G did to the Pac-12 was some real Robber Baron stuff

Right out of the textbook of Jay Gould. Totally short sold them. Skimming off the top, then sending out their YouTube and media connections to stoke the others to go to the BigXII, then swooping in to get Oregon and Washington on a discount. It just reeks to high heavens. The break up of the longstanding Pac-12/10/8 was a deeply sad day for college sports. Combine that with OU and Texas to the SEC, and plenty of quality and proud athletic departments are left to slum around looking for any bottom of the barrel deal they can find. Stanford to the ACC for basically nothing? Turrible.

ESPN seems to have been the worst actor by far. By my math, they control
