Big 10 Considering Expansion

[Grizzled]

It is expected that the universities of Oregon and Washington will shortly apply for membership in the Big 10. This wiwould make the Big 10 the largest college conference and give it 4 schools on the West Coast, joining UCLA and USC. It will give the conference members from the Atlantic to the Pacific and presences in 15 states. Such a loss will almost certainly mean the end of the PAC 12.

This kind of shit and the NIL have really lessened my interest in big time college sports. I loved the good old days (70s and early 80s) of regionalized conferences and rivals.

Yeah, MoneyLust does crappy things and fans have almost no voice or leverage in the process.

Maryland leaving the ACC ruined NCAA sports for me in many ways

I have followed the FCS much closer the past 5+ yrs more than the FBS. Now my alma mater , Western Illinois University (home of Bryan Cox, Aaron Stecker, Ed Hartwell and Mike Scifres), is leaving the best conference in the FCS. It sucks they just cannot compete anymore. It was great seeing North Dakota St come to Macomb every other year. It was also great seeing the U of S Dakota, S Dakota St, Northern Iowa. Now it will be Morehead St, Middle Tenn or some shit schools like that.

Following up, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah are peeling off from the corpse of the Pac 12/10/? to join the Big 12, effectively killing the league.
