Who do we think we are? A school with a recognized dynasty and 3 NCs.
And we're not going away because you stomp your feet.
No FSU or Clemson for now. Boo.

Championships, though....the TV contract will make a lot school’s ADs “well”...usually strong in 2-3 women’s sports..
I would prefer to be in the SEC. Just makes more logistical sense, especially with all the west coast teams joining the B1G.
It’s far from over. The Big Ten and the SEC are basically cherry picking who they want to join. The PAC 12 (or 10 or 8 or whatever is left) is history. The Big 12 and ACC aren’t far behind.
I say we go get TCU and have a strangle hold on the DFW Metroplex, maybe Miami to get a toe in Florida, and North Carolina. Screw Clemson and FSU (no offense to our visiting Noles).
I have thought since this started that eventually the blue bloods will form a 30 team conference that resembles the NFL. That is the end game. I won't argue it on here but this is about money and I think that's where it ends up.
Did the P12 ever have any cream to be skimmed?
If you don’t think USC is cream you are so in the tank it is hilarious.
I like the Big 10 more, but the SEC makes geographic and rivalry sense.
“Too”???
Oh my. What a hit and a miss. If you’re going to swipe at someone you shouldn’t commit an unforced error while doing so.
And - it’s not over.
Its history puts it there. I’m speaking of the conference as a whole. Did you miss that?
As an Oregon State fan: UO, UW, USC, and UCLA can go **** themselves.
As an Iowa fan: UO, UW, USC, and UCLA can go **** themselves.

You posted: “Did the P12 ever have any cream to be skimmed?” That is not speaking to the entire conference. And it wasn’t THAT long ago USC was a dynasty, without getting into its history.
More recently than the Gamecocks?
Anyone got the cliffs notes on what mid major conference the Noles are likely to end up in?
Pac-12/ACC misfit island. basically Conference USA pt 2.
And this is why all of a sudden there is chatter about SEC and FSU and Clemson. This is why Paul Finebaum is suddenly sickly sweet about the Noles. ESPN and SEC are scared poopless right now if BIG plucks top 2 ACC programs. They would have been out maneuvered and don’t have even close to same product. While they were all grabbing ass and spiking football at adding Texas and Oklahoma, the PAC 10 just went poof and Big 10 got their best. USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington. Imagine adding Florida State and Clemson to that. Coast to Coast. Big schools. Big names. Huge alumni bases. Huge traditions. Number 1 Football and Basketball conference. Number 1 Olympic Sport conference. Number 1 Academic conference.
Meanwhile ESPN gets cut out of all the ACC and PAC 10 games with these teams and has a regional hillbilly conference. .

PAC12 commissioner dropped his dick in the dirt so hard with the media deal that the 4 biggest markets left.
Big 10 will rightfully take a lot of heat for poaching, but UO and UW and even Arizon waited to see what kind of media deal they could get before leaving.
FSU just doesn’t have the “it” factor for the BIG 10.
Damn. I feel way better about my dad bod self.FSU just doesn’t have the “it” factor for the BIG 10.
I guarantee you.....it might not be this year, but it's one of those two. The shear amount of eyeballs that watches every Saturday, it'll be one of those two.
Now you're getting it.FSU just doesn’t have the “it” factor for the BIG 10.
Corey Simon's ass has entered the chat.FSU just doesn’t have the “it” factor for the BIG 10.
wish they would. then the ISU game would be part of Iowa's schedule, freeing Iowa up to schedule Pitt and syracuse every other year.Damn shame there wasn’t room for Iowa State in the BIG 10,
Usc was damn good last year, they went 11-3 and their QB set the Usc td record and won the Heisman. He's coming back this yr as well. They are a top 10 team this year, oh, so is Washington. The B1G just got a whole lot better. Just imagine FSU, Clemson, Miami and ND added.
Just adding FSU and Clemson would then give the Big a top 8-10 teams that more than matchup with the best of the SEC
There isn’t a Texas school worth A %*%* that is not already in the SEC.
It would be more about the footprint than anything...TCU brings the 5th largest TV market to the network.
Also leaves the SEC with a stranglehold over 6 states in recruiting...with a few toss up states.....and pretty much the rest of country Big Ten country.
