On Colorado. I think of the possible impact of Deion Sanders.

Now who knows. He might be a train wreck there, or he might revolutionize recruiting and winning. And as a result, he might not be there long. But with that being said, I just think "Prime Time" getting East Coast exposure in a nationally competitive league would lift all boats in this potential conference. Yeah, I hope if the ACC looks west, that they take more rather than less schools. I just think getting Cal and Stanford alone is a (greatly) watered down version of what the B1G did. Just two West Coast teams to me isn't enough to generate regional and national interest. And like I said in an earlier post, I'd take all 10 schools remaining if the price was right. But I'm afraid it wouldn't be. But maybe 6 would be great. I would love UW, UO, either AZ school, Colorado, and Cal in particular. Throw in Utah, and that's six schools from 6 states. Not too shabby. ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 2/15/2023, 8:09:32 AM ** Edited by Maroon Baboon at 2/15/2023, 8:21:56 AM

If ESPN truly wants the West Coast they have a play

What gain do any academic folks get from

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

That's what I am thinking is developing.

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...

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