Been in the works for a while. The other option considered was gong independent. Not a done deal but close, very close. Quick poll on 247 should a slim majority in favor, which I think will increase. Apparently huge amounts of money involved for all BIG teams if it goes through.Very odd
Obviously more money.Been in the works for a while. The other option considered was gong independent. Not a done deal but close, very close.

Well, let's see. Assume eight conference games, including every year matches with UCLA. So 3-4 travel games a year. All out of conference games will probably be made to avoid travel. In the pack game with the Wash or Ore teams require flying 800-900 miles. sc to Nebraska is around 1500 miles, Iowa 1700 miles. Certainly, a difference, but hardly devastating. An interesting question is whether the ND game will be ditched to keep total travel done. I doubt it and hope not.This is so odd. Nothing says - "The student athlete is our priority" thank making kids fly from California to Maryland for a midweek softball game. Even for the football teams - coming home from a Saturday game and flying across country makes no sense. Odd with the sports also - the water polo and some other teams going to stay in the PAC 12? I got a lot of questions.
I don't think SC and UCLA are the only teams making the move. The next few days wiil be interesting. Here is my favorite tweet ever regarding this:See how much the Big Ten wants to protect USC. Do they give them the PSU away game in Prime Time in late late October/November? USC might want to find some OL instead of ten WRs in that event.
This move is not a surprise to Lincoln.Lincoln Riley ran from the SEC. Now he has to go against the Big 10.
He ran from the SEC.This move is not a surprise to Lincoln.
Hes doing a horrible job of building his team to compete in the Big 10 thenThis move is not a surprise to Lincoln.
Maybe. He has two years It certainly is true we missed on or biggest want, in Conerly and looks like we will miss on Francis M. But hard to say a guy who brought SC from being 126th to 6th did a bad job. we need SD-line this year and will need O-line next year, so we have some work to do.Hes doing a horrible job of building his team to compete in the Big 10 then
Between his 22, 23 and 24 recruits he has got only 2 OL commits. And the one is ranked in the 700s and the other is a juco
That is awful team building if he knew
This makes the BIG a conference with a national footprint. Teams literally from coast to coast.Obviously more money.
But the tradition with the Pac, the dominance in that conference and the west coast. Now to go to the Big is just very odd
The travel might take its toll and playing in the northeast in late october through December is not going to be fun.
You just jumped into a much better conference where you are the outsider
LR better be even better than people thinks
Doesn't help USC though. Helps the Big, not SCThis makes the BIG a conference with a national footprint. Teams literally from coast to coast.
Disagree. This will be huge for recruiting. Lots of negative recruiting about SC due to the Pac.Doesn't help USC though. Helps the Big, not SC
Oh I know. What worries me is ND making a move at some point to join the BIG.Doesn't help USC though. Helps the Big, not SC
Nah. You had a clear path to the NC ever single year in the Pac. You dont in the Big.Disagree. This will be huge for recruiting. Lots of negative recruiting about SC due to the Pac.
Dont see itOh I know. What worries me is ND making a move at some point to join the BIG.
No beach volleyball???? No deal!!!!Oops re my prediction:
Ryan Kartje
@Ryan_Kartje
Sources tell
@latimes
that USC was the impetus behind this move to the Big Ten. The move is believed to include all sports except for beach volleyball, sources say.
"Fight On."Disagree. This will be huge for recruiting. Lots of negative recruiting about SC due to the Pac.
Notre Dame isn't joining the BIG 10.Oh I know. What worries me is ND making a move at some point to join the BIG.
They won't just be taking one team from the BIG with the new expansion format being discussed. Plus, there is a huge difference in TV money for new facilities coaches pay etc. That with the new Stay Doubt NIL company SC just formed we will be hard to out recruit. I have no idea what our o-line will look like two years from now, but if it is bad, it will be a struggle.Nah. You had a clear path to the NC ever single year in the Pac. You dont in the Big.
You could have owned the west coast. Now you may be a good Big team but not The Team.
Esp with your OL recruiting. Might be a struggle
They have been asleep a lot long then 2 years. LOL.The NCAA has been asleep at the wheel for 2 years while lawyers, corporate sponsors, individual members and players haphazardly re-organize the sport … incompetent leadership standing by watching 1/3 of the members leave the other 2/3 behind.
Beach volley ball in Feb outside at Indiana.No beach volleyball???? No deal!!!!
ND is the crown jewel. The BIG 10 would pay that buyout clause for ND to leave the ACC and join the BIG 10ND can only join the ACC until end of agreement. Rumors swirling that sec is pushing ND to join the ACC and will then enter exclusive scheduling agreement with sec and acc. That brings pay parity to the ACC.
Lets be clear these this is a case of fox vs ESPN for content not schools jockeying.
There is alot of speculation about the SEC making a play for Clemson, Florida State and Miami.
Doesn't the ACC rights deal run until 2036?There is alot of speculation about the SEC making a play for Clemson, Florida State and Miami.
Nine Conference games.Well, let's see. Assume eight conference games, including every year matches with UCLA. So 3-4 travel games a year. All out of conference games will probably be made to avoid travel. In the pack game with the Wash or Ore teams require flying 800-900 miles. sc to Nebraska is around 1500 miles, Iowa 1700 miles. Certainly, a difference, but hardly devastating. An interesting question is whether the ND game will be ditched to keep total travel done. I doubt it and hope not.
Everyone has a lot of questions. My guess is that minor sport will not be included, but no one knows.
No, it wasn't at all. In our local 247 site published that discussion were taking place three months ago. There have also been public discussions about the possibility of going independent. LR was in on everything and it really silly to suggest he wasn't.Oh yes it was!!
They decided the number of conference games under the new alignment? When did that happen??Nine Conference games.
