Hello, everyone! I am a back easterner who is very interested in what everyone is saying. In an ideal world, what would be the thoughts of some of you if the Ducks were to be in the Big 12 as a western divisional perennial yearly contender for a conference championship? Scuttlebutt has the ACC being very disgruntled with the low payout and a tv deal that doesn't expire until 2036. Brett Yormark, the new Big 12 commish, is a super aggressive guy and it would not surprise me to see him approach the ACC schools about a deal to make a superconference with an east-west division. Reality is the B1G and SEC will continue, but how hard will the road be to the CFP in those conferences? Granted, a large number of viable opponents may not be an easy road to travel each year, but from where I sit, the Ducks will more than compete. There are sufficient numbers of schools much closer to Eugene than Rutgers, Boston College or Penn State, especially if Utah and the Zonas join the Big 12, as anticipated. Perhaps the time for a superconference has arrived and time will tell the tale. Meanwhile, a great forum!
