Good gosh, I cannot believe the major drugs taken by John Canzano and the fans of Beavis. Below is some major "Hopeium, and Copium."

Q: Former Pac-12 teams become doormats of the Big Ten, what do they do? Take the Big Ten cash and reboot over and over again? Or leave?

JC: The cash functions like glue in your question. Those schools would stay in the Big Ten and get their teeth kicked in if enough money is there. There would be some private regrets, but they’d publicly justify it by pointing at the revenue in the budget and saying, “We’re in the right conference.”

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve talked with some insiders who are still spitballing about what happens when/if the ACC breaks up. Stanford and Cal have nowhere else to go. The Big Ten isn’t taking them. Would those two ever return to the Pac-12? How much time would have to pass? Would they seek refuge in the Big 12? Or would something else form?

But if those legacy schools did return to the Pac-12 someday, would UCLA think twice? Discuss.

Yeah...I Want to Join the NEW Mountain West.

Note also how stupid the question was framed by a Beavis fan....west coast teams being doormats? Oregon won the Big-10 football title last year, won the most B1G championships of any Big-10 team.

Of the five teams from the Big-10 in the current top 25....three are from the original 14 B1G teams, and HALF of the four west coast teams who joined them are in the top-25.

Stupid is, as stupid says?

Oregon State fans talking about others being doormats?

I, for one, would be happy to have UO play osu* if they agree to pay us our fair share of their looted Pac 12 funds.

*Mr. Fischer, please note that capitalizing of either uw or osu reflects a certain level of decorum and respect that a truly petty Duck fan should never rise to, in my opinion.

OBD and USC are in the committee's top 25. Depending on what the Grapevine Gurus come up with tomorrow evening, SC at Oregon could be the only top 25 vs top 25 matchup this weekend.

UW has also been in the committee's top 25 this season.

Oregon is coming back? For a peanuts on the B1G dollar media deal with CW and USA?

It won't happen, but I could see OBD, UW, UCLA, and USC joining Cal, Stanford, ASU, Arizona, CU, and Utah in a true Pac-10. Perhaps for all sports other than football?

However, I think the B1G private capital deal will happen. If so, B1G teams that participate in the deal, and Oregon does not appear to have any objections to the deal, will pledge their collective media rights through 2046.

The B1G would add Notre Dame if available, but that's it. The deal calls for 'the lender' to receive 10% of the conference's gross revenue through 2046. No program that doesn't immediately contribute to the B1G's revenue stream need apply.

What value would Beavis and Wazzu bring to the bottom line? ZIP.

This is more of Canzano's, 'I need the subscribers' butt kissing.

Do they mean UCLA?

Because Oregon and USC are doing fine this year and Washington is above average.

and UCLA is getting a new coach to try and revamp their program.

Damn. You got me there, as I am conscious of proper punctuation...but as an admitted Duck who is "nobility-impaired," you put me in a tough spot. Especially since there are few as petty as I, and I haven't even started my denigration of USC yet this week!

If the ACC truly does fold, I think the Bay Area schools would probably ask the Big-12 first if they could join, in the end I could see Stanford at least shuttering the football program and going independent in other sports, Cal I have no idea what they would do. UCLA will stay in the B1G no matter what, they've been mediocre to poor in Football for a while, but their other sports have flourished, so I would think they would just try to stay afloat in the B1G.

USC will just keep throwing money at it, they'll have good years here and there, but that program is always a good coach away from being a power again. They do need to improve their training facilities though. UW will stay at it as well, it's just too much money, and they have too big a fanbase to just pack it in and accept going back to the new Pac-12.

I don't blame Beaver and Coug fans trying to keep some glimmer of hope that the old Pac-12 reforms in at least a partial way, it's brutal seeing what those programs have become, not only in football but in other sports as well. While WSU would always lose good coaches to other programs now I'm sure we'll see a revolving door for any coach that is halfway decent..

I could see Cal and Stanford sneaking into the B1G with certain strings attached.

If they both opt to take a much lower payout than even Oregon and Washington for a good while, so maybe something like 20 mil instead of the Oregon and Washington 30mil. They would need to come in at a major pay cut while also saying they would take football more seriously. Right now is their opportunity to invest as much as they can into football and in the next season or two show some meaningful improvements.

In terms of academics they fit in just fine so that could give them a significant boost. I'm also sure that UCLA would help get Cal in because they wouldn't have to pay Cal anymore if that were to happen. I could see Oregon, Washington and USC wanting them in for more west coast games.

Strangely enough the B1G might have to turn back to a division system and get more creative towards the end of the season with open scheduling to pin these smaller division against each other... kinda like a mini tournament for the B1G Championship. But this would be asking for far more creativity from a conference than they are probably interested in.

I think the whole thing is a long shot at this point but I can see it happening if the right set of circumstances come up.

Rodent fan does not understand the economics of college sports. He should be asking how they will fund existing costs of their sports programs with less revenue than they had last year.

Like it, or not, collegiate sports generates huge costs for a University’s athletic department. Hoping for teams to join a sinking ship conference is not a good business strategy.

That is why I refer to them as "ewe dub". Use your imagination on the ewe portion.
