One less sport to watch. The greed in college football has gone over the edge to make the sport unrecognizable  from what it once was. Worship the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

As much as I love college sports, I'm afraid I'm leaning towards agreeing with you Bo. But you can also blame the BCS and the current format for the demise of the PAC 10. You can bet your bottom dollar that if neither had come to fruition then the BIG would be protecting their turf. Namely the Rose Bowl. And pulling teams out of the PAC would not be in their best interest.

I don't keep up as much on minor league football as I used to so I was a little surprised to see USC and UCLA the anchors of West Coast college football want to join the B1G.

So its going to be the B1G versus the SEC for grid-iron supremacy amongst our student-athletes?   

Will the Rose Bowl parade be awarded to the B1G/SEC champion, or just rotated between Birmingham and Columbus?

Cap I'm hoping I can watch some games where smaller school's don't play it as a blood sport. There are certain multiple people and companies who have ruined it as it was meant to be

Word in town has ASU heading to the Pure Prairie League with UA, Utah and Colorado.  If that is true, i can see the Big Ten Ten looking at two more teams. I have seen Stanford on the list, but while they are AAU with elite.a ademics, they are a private school with under 20k students and a small stadium. Possible bait for Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie? Also Oregon, which would leave Wash. out to dry.

I keep an eye on several  Div II and Div III teams. I'd love to see some networks pick up the games but if they did then $$$ would start flowing in and the evil might destroy them too.

I hear Oregon is actively asking to join the Big 12.

Possible. Especially if the Big Ten Ten is dragging their feet waiting on OLotPT to defecate or get off the pot. Apparently Oregon is a bit of a tweener in terms of additional revenue. If other schools are leaving the old PAWCP it is time to check your chute and look for a soft landing spot before the Mountain West is your best option.

Anybody paying attention to the laws of California?

A number of away games in the B1G Midwest heartland will occur in states that California has officially condemned for not having suitably leftist social policies. The 20 states currently on the sanctions list are now due to become 22, under a 2016 state law called AB 1887. A reasonable person might figure that Americans in other states generally ought to be free to make up their own minds about local policies. A reasonable person might also consider the possibility that if 22 other states and counting do not  choose to mimic California law on such topics as transgender policy, perhaps it is California law that ought to be improved.

In any case, the California condemnations have consequences. The UCLA website states:


The California Attorney General office has updated the list of states where state funds may NOT be used for travel. Indiana and Utah are the latest states to be added.
As of July 1, 2022, there are now 20 states where AB 1887 prohibits the use of state funds to pay for travel to a state on the Attorney General list, except where one of the statutory exceptions applies. It does not affect travel that is paid for or reimbursed using nonstate funds.
The following two states, Louisiana and Arizona, will be added to California travel restrictions list as listed below.
Alabama
Arkansas
Florida
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Mississippi
Montana
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
West Virginia
Louisiana (will be added on Aug 1, 2022)


Hmmmm.

It will get the message to the fans in the heartland that their states are governed by evil and corrupt asses when the opponents boycott them like white apartheid South Africa before it collapsed.

The only sports ward is qualified to comment on are hockey and topless equestrian events.
