ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Man, that just seems like a really dumb fit for them.

UCLA adds nothing and USC is going to suffer a lot with other Big 10 programs having more stake in their area. They really needed a weak PAC to continue showing some form of relevance.

It was a package deal as the Big 10 needed to take UCLA to get USC.

And the benefits of joining the Big 10 for USC… access to what will likely be the richest TV contract in college sports history and part of what will be one of the two new super power conferences (Big 10 and SEC) will outweigh any added recruiting competition in SoCal.

At this point the best move forward for the PAC and BIG 12 is to merge into the BIGPAC. The overall team count and variety of programs would probably keep them in the game and in front of the ACC.

UCLA and USC are a package deal, and UCLA has a massive fanbase. UCLA is also the #1 public university according to US News so it adds to the academic prestige.

Yeah…if your school isn’t in the Big 10(NFC) or the SEC(AFC) you are screwed.

Man I would hate to be a fan of one of those schools.

Ya, but probably still not as bad as being a fan of a completely uncompetitive and irrelevant school, though.

Mizzouche might be getting the boot:

Addition and subtraction?

Remember the Big 12 almost going away last year? That was heartless, yes. Now, consider a similar scenario if, say, the SEC wanted to make room for the likes of Clemson or Miami

Would it simply eject a couple of underperforming schools? Would the Big Ten consider doing the same if it had more prominent replacements lined up?

One conference official reminded me that schools commit to a conference, not the other way around.

So, out with Vanderbilt and Missouri, in with Clemson and Miami? Out with Indiana and Purdue, in with Oregon and Washington?

The Big East booted Temple in 2001 for underperformance. Kansas State was on the verge of dropping football -- if the Big Eight didn't drop it first -- before Bill Snyder arrived in 1989.

Missouri brings way more than Miss St and South Carolina (Vandy too clearly).

They would never have let them in if they didn’t see the value in adding the state of Missouri to the SEC footprint.

Yeah, I don't see them kicking Mizzou out. Probably at least a little dissatisfied with how the athletics have stagnated, though. Hopefully Drinkwitz and Gates can turn this shit around.

What does Mizzou bring exactly? Losing basketball and football programs?

Hilarious, mind-boggling losses for the purpose of schadenfreude
