Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment

It's possible that because of the man in this picture, all these conference changes are happening. I mean, sure, TV money and brands and market and all that, but because Maryland athletics was in such horrible financial shape, and the president of the university at that time was this guy who'd come from Iowa. The Big Ten network was just starting, and really wanted to maximize subscribers...just some weird serendipity. And I clearly don't know how to post images on this board. Dammit.

The fact Oregon has been silent is really suspicious.

The fact Oregon has been silent is really suspicious.

Just to share some insights, when something like this goes down, the AD goes into silent mode. It is made very clear to EVERYONE and that includes coaches and student athletes and administrative staff, that no one better talk. Secondly, other than Mullens and Schill and probably two other high level people in the dept no one is privy to what is going on. You can interpret the silence to many things but having been inside the dept in the past, VERY FEW people know what is going on at this time.

A news article by the dude who started the "Oregon, Notre Dame and UW to the Big Ten" rumors

This guy is a decent source for Big 12 scoops as he called the UT/OU move and then who they added later.

The Maryland insider who said ND and Oregon were next to join the Big Ten is basically saying the Pac-12 is about to gone soon.

What does this mean? Was Oregon actually considered for expansion or not?

[DuckzRule]

Also new bad rumors, there's apparently some people are claiming UO and UW will get to the Big 12.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO!

The Big 12 is a crappy conference and the fact we would have to deal with bad teams like Kansas will be horrible

Impressive story, but I just don’t think a camel has that much sway in major college football.

At least one Big Ten columnist is hoping this consolidation play by the major power players fails.

Hopefully it does mean UO will be entering soon

[DuckzRule]

An Alabama board I'm in is claiming that Notre Dame might make their decision today, let's hope it's true

[StreeterCL]

Making their decision on Independence day. Ha.

Do they give up their independence or do they celebrate it alongside the entire country and keep it.
