WTF, There is so much smoke today about Clemson & Foradia joining the big 10 by the end of the week. Maybe the official pronunciation from these podcasts from the East for Clemson is Clumpson. LOL

There is no smoke on this from even half-way reliable sources. If FSU has a goEMAW equivalent it is almost assuredly coming from there. This has trolling written all over it.

I wouldn't be surprised if George presents some number and later it's revealed that he made it up.

"Now, I don't have final numbers yet from the networks, but how does $40 million per school per year sound? Well, we're close to that. We're probably closer to $10 million than to $40 million, but who knows?"

Athlon Sports is saying big 10 is about to announce Oregon and Washington joining their conf this week.

Seems pretty hasty on the Big 10's part, if true. I'd think they would get a better media deal with some ACC schools.

chum1 · « **Reply #35658 on:** July 31, 2023, 03:50:00 PM »

Maybe it's true that the Big 10 was just waiting for us to take some teams before they made their next move. There were basically zero rumors about the Big 10 and OR/WA lately, but there weren't with USC/UCLA last year either.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #35659 on:** July 31, 2023, 04:04:42 PM »

There's no way USC and UCLA want to be all by themselves in the BiG on the West Coast.

I want to believe they'll be more money if Yormark can land UO and UW. The whole lot - Utah, AZ, ASU, UW, UO needs to jump if the BiG doesn't invite UO and UW. This smothers USC and UCLA, completely isolates them.

Read the article and they also mentioned FSU/Clemson to big 10, which just seems crazy given I'd imagine the SEC would be both of those schools preferred landing spot. If that magically comes to to fruiting either the rest of the Pac-7 and ACC merge or that is it for them and SEC/big 10/Big 12 just have a massive onboarding event.

As a neutral fan, the coasts merging is really gross

DaBigTrain · « **Reply #35662 on:** July 31, 2023, 04:19:42 PM »

So did we put up another school today or not?

BIG wants all the big-name publics that also play school.

That's obviously an SEC slang word.

Also, here's some real news: Arizona is having a BOR mtg at 3 pm tomorrow, both private to be followed by the public mtg. The PAC is having a meeting with presidents and GK at 9 am tomorrow. This could be it.

TY for confirming what I stated earlier. Houstonnut Cat needs to do more research.

I'm changing my mind about Oregon. Here's a tweet from today by HC DL about Colorado, but directed to Big XII.
