Re: Washington State & Oregon state to the WCC

What happens if they are both mediocre in football the next 2 years? Does the top of the mwc and pac leftovers command a better TV deal than what an unchanged mwc gets? Second question. If you are a bottom dweller in a power conference not named the sec. How do you feel right now? I think they are ...

Re: Florida State very unhappy with the ACC

I mentioned this in the other thread but I think Calford wouldn't swallow their pride and return to the PAC. If Florida State finds the loophole to exit the ACC I think the SEC, B1G and Big12 take up the majority of the ACC. The few ACC teams not taken join up with the AAC. This will be what I watc...

They now have their hands on the war chest. They have no desire to affiliate with the bottom of the Mountain West. In the end they’ll do what TV execs want them to. Their war chest is heavily overrated and not nearly as much as they are putting on. The Judge basically gave them Control Of the confe...

Away games

USU is not going to host any “power” conference teams. They don’t play away games. I heard something on the radio that was a little surprising. The Big 12 and PAC 12 have played a combined 21 true road games going 10-11 so far this year. Cincinnati at 1-1 is the only team with more than one, while B...
