"It’s not conference realignment. It’s consolidation ... How college sports got here is nobody’s fault because it’s everybody’s fault." https://apnews.com/article/big-ten-big12-realignment-pac12-2ab096bb273425903f3f0bf9a1b5a852 #CollegeFootball #CollegeSports #Pac12 #big10 #big12 #acc #sec

So now that the #Pac12 is essentially no more, what happens to the #RoseBowl ? Seeing that it was the Bowl that had representatives from the #ConferenceofChampions and the #Big10 facing off. I know that now with the #NationalChampionship decided by a playoff format with the games rotating through the major bowls, it seems like #TheGrandaddy of them all has lost some shine.

While #Colorado's recent departure orchestrated the swift destruction of the #Pac12, the Conference of Champions' demise is actually the result of more than a decade of terrible leadership. https://theathletic.com/4748641/2023/08/04/pac-12-oregon-washington-big-ten/

Honestly I am sad to see the #Pac #Pac8 #Pac10 #Pac12 #TheConferenceofChampions end the way it has. Even if some form of it comes back with other schools, it will no longer be a #PowerFiveConference
Yes money is important and one would think with schools like #USC #UCLA #Oregon #Washington and #Stanford a TV deal could have been put together that rivaled the #Big12 if not the #Big10 and the #SEC but the leadership was/is so inept that there was little chance of any of success.

@emarktaylor Yeah, back when we thought Scott Frost could coach.

If the release of the #2024 #Big10 and #SEC football schedules -- in June 2023 -- is considered "important," haven't we lost some semblance of commonsense?

They finally dump the divisions and Rutgers still ends up with Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State. C’mon, man.

It’s a tough conference, but after 10 years of burying Rutgers under the East powers, they couldn’t swap out Ohio State for just about anybody?
Jeezus.

My thoughts on the Big Ten's Flex schedule model. I...I think I love it?

Indiana/USC is so perverse I almost like it

Flex Protect Plus sounds like something Billy Mays (RIP) would have made an infomercial for back in the day.

But it looks like it’ll get the job done.

The entire premise of conference consolidation can be explained in USC's first B1G schedule.

USC traveling to Maryland, Northwestern & Purdue is undeniably silly.

But USC-Michigan and USC-Penn State are 10 million+ viewer games. That's what FOX/CBS/NBC are paying billions for.

2024 UCLA - I've been to Honolulu, Baton Rouge, Bloomington, Iowa City, Ann Arbor, Piscataway.
I’ve been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere.

Me enrolling for healthcare: ooh the “Flex Protect Plus” sounds good, let’s go with that one

Calling up the doctor: so we do accept your insurance company… but it says here you’re on the Flex Protect Plus plan…

If Michigan State and USC aren't made permanent rivals with a Trojan Horse trophy than what the hell is even the point of all this?

10 of the 16 teams have one protected rival or fewer. Penn State is the lone school with none. It’s a rivalry orphan.

The Flex Protect Plus Model sounds like it costs $19.99 a year when you buy a new TV.

I knew it would happen but still can’t wrap my head around UCLA @ Rutgers being a matchup between two conference opponents

Minnesota and Michigan are playing for the hockey Big 10 championship.

We had to turn it off after the first few minutes of the 2nd period. Gophers looking rattled, and we'd rather not see it.
