Once UCLA and USC sign on with the B1G and BTN, it is a point of no return

pretty much. I don't know the exact exit fees and GOR costs, but I'm sure it would be prohibitive to moving anywhere. I too wish USC and UCLA, and Maryland, A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Mizzou, Colorado, Nebraska et. al. would return to their homeland. But I'm afraid it is gone forever. I just feel like we are stuck in this dystopian era of no one looking out for the long-term interests of the sport or its devoted fans. Consequently, this is why I've posted several times in the past about favoring a Premier League model in the future with relegation and promotion. If we are going to blow up college football, let's do it right based on competition and merit over the cartel that's forming now. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 2/13/2023, 4:29:09 PM

If ESPN truly wants the West Coast they have a play

What gain do any academic folks get from
Pylons • 02/15/23 10:08 AM ET
They want their contribution to the ACC Academic Consortium
HOO86 • 02/15/23 12:13 PM ET
I suppose there are minor Academic Consortium benefits,
Pylons • 02/15/23 12:21 PM ET
The conference facilitates regular communcation
HOO86 • 02/15/23 01:45 PM ET
I've worked in academia for many years
Pylons • 02/15/23 01:58 PM ET
IMO, the right number is 0.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/14/23 08:33 PM ET
yup...and that play has been there for awhile as well
daveinop • 02/14/23 07:47 PM ET
That's what I am thinking is developing.
HOO86 • 02/14/23 08:13 PM ET
On Colorado. I think of the possible impact of Deion Sanders.
Maroon Baboon • 02/15/23 08:08 AM ET
Would be a good get if ACC/ESPN could grab
hoodat • 02/15/23 06:12 AM ET
On taking Pac-10 teams. I would love it.

Couple thoughts
daveinop • 02/15/23 07:13 AM ET
I wonder about streaming and live sports...
mancunian • 02/13/23 12:49 PM ET
I agree with that. Media want us all to buy-in because it's easier/
33laszlo99 • 02/13/23 02:36 PM ET
Yesterday I flipped between Indiana/Purdue, Celtics/Grizzlies
mancunian • 02/13/23 03:02 PM ET
Streaming services could make the experience better.
tarheelblue • 02/13/23 03:51 PM ET
I prefer the way it is now with Comcast.
Atlee Hokie • 02/14/23 08:50 PM ET
I guess that's down the road when you have
mancunian • 02/14/23 09:48 AM ET
But will other P12 teams be poached during that game of chicken?
EDGEMAN • 02/13/23 06:49 AM ET
It's a desperate situation. I think they need to take risks.**
33laszlo99 • 02/13/23 07:25 AM ET
They might be successful if they can hold their coalition together long...
