I don’t understand why people get bent out of shape over the name. The name Big Ten has way too much marketing capital built into. They are never changing the name, no matter how many teams are brought in.
Realignment rumors
- Thread starter squeezebox
- Start date
I don’t want the Nike frogs.you would have to bring shades and sunblock so you don’t go blind or get burned.

Hadn’t heard that but what if they do one side of conference as the original 10, then all others on the other side?
I mean, this isn’t exactly a recent development.
This latest stuff is. But yeah, UCLA and USC opened the gates.
Everybody hates Oregon.
Does this mean Nebraska goes back to the Big 12? 🙏🏽
Maryland and Rutgers would like a word.
And Phil has about reached the overripe stage of life, so he doesn't have many years left.
Plus it homage to the origins of the conference and the original teams.
The comments were if Arizona and Arizona State bolt for the Big 12 if they can't get a decent TV deal for the Pac 12, then Big Ten would be safety net for Oregon and Washington.
I don't mind Prime. He is old school at heart.
I'd like to see Iowa State playing late night against the Oregon State Beavers. Conference mates.
Nah…let ‘em play Hawaii with nobody watching.
Really it started with Maryland and Rutgers. That’s when I realized it was 100% about the money.
I can see it now. “Welcome fan(s), to the rivalry affectionately known as the Pillow Fight on the Pacific.”
An issue has been the east dominating the west. I would like to keep divisions but add USC and UCLA to the west and move two weaker teams from west to east. This would balance it back out. USC will/is a monster and UCLA will be a top 15 team most years. Keep divisions is my vote
For those oldies out here, the Creature Feature!
UCLA has finished in the top 15 once since 1998.
Lot's of stuff to keep an eye on here, but in your scenario, let's say Nebby bolts for the new Big 12, who replaces them?
Stanford is a likely candidate, Big 10 wants them.
Notre Dame is a likely candidate as their NBC contract comes up in 2025 and they won't get the cash from NBC that the Big 10 can provide.
Cal will likely be hung out to dry like OR st and Wazzou. Don't see them in the Big 10.
All ACC teams are locked up contractually through 2036, so not an option(?)
Colorado and Utah are better fits for the Big 12, at least geographically. Don't see either in the Big 10.
Who does that leave?
Wait, whut? Why would Nebraska bolt for anything? They would miss out on giant pay days from the BIG. Ole hog loving doucher should love this.

Yes USC is good and as long as Riley is there they’ll stay good, but I don’t think the average fan realizes since 1980. They’ve only got the 15th best winning percentage in the country (10 spots better than Iowa) and UCLA is 32nd.
Just replying to LaQuinta who wants the Big 10 to boot Nebby.
Add two regions together into a division. The division winners play in the championship. Then rotate which regions are together each year.
Prime likes to have it both ways. He postures as old school while continuing to be an attention whore.

Wouldn’t you say top 15 over the last 42 years is a pretty solid program?
Hum…let’s now call it:
El Quatro grande cinco Del Grande Die
Hum, how about:
1) El grande diez
2)
Or…EL GRANDE DOS DIEZ!
East
Ohio State
Rutgers
Penn State
Maryland
Northeast
Michigan
Michigan State
Purdue
Indiana
Northwest
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Illinois
Northwestern
West
Iowa
Nebraska
USC
UCLA
the winner of the East Division plays the winner of the Northeast Division
the winner of the West Division plays the winner of the Northwest Division
the winner of these 2 games play for the Championship
to me, this provides the most excitement... and it is fair for everyone involved.

Grow up , so you are going to miss these cupcake Hawk schedules. Next year is a pathetic joke. That home schedule is BORING. You really want more of these crappy games and toilet bowl appearances. Time for this program to grow a pair.
We better hope not. Bad take. KF and Barta will fight that alignment or just quit. They don't want this. They want N'west, Minny and Rutgers.
Almost definitely not unfortunately…but it makes sense and would be a win-win-win if you ask me.
Dumb decision by the Big 10 to have those crappy football programs join. Good news is they will keep the Hawks out of the bottom of the new conference.
what the hell are you talking about ?
they would not oppose this.
you are full of shhh ... it.
Very, but you know who else is in the top 15? BYU, Nebraska, Miami of Florida, FSU….
All teams that have been good, will likely be good again, but have also had plenty of struggles and teams no one should concede too!
I’m not at all convinced Riley will field teams like Petey did. Over that eight or 10 year stretch, they were every bit as dominant as Alabama has been the last 10+ years & Miami Florida was back in the day.
Riley's never shown he can put together a team with a Dominate Defense!
I replaced Nub with Cal in my scenario.
ND and Stanford would be the final additions in order to get to 20.
If they decide go beyond 20 down the road they will look to pillage the ACC (UNC, Virginia, GT, Miami?)
