The B1G is so totally gonna screw this up and actually poach Oregon and Washington. And I'm gonna laugh, heartily, out loud.

100%. Except I'm not going to laugh. I'm going to just curse a lot.

This new dipshit B1G commish is totally about to have his Larry Scott moment- where he makes an epic mistake in the game of expansion and he hurts the long term health of his conference.

Think this move is a bit mistake. We had a good scheduling format. Now truly a national conference and some form or rotating divisions (pods) is almost necessary (miss too many teams without them).

god I really hope all the Washington/Oregon talk from "insiders" is just B1G leaking crap info as a smokescreen to operate quietly in the shadows and go and poach some combo of FSU/ND/Miami/Clemson/UNC

cause idk if you guys noticed or not, but if not imma be fkn pisssssssed if they add Oregon and Washington. might be so mad I actually stop watching B1G games for awhile.

Lot of information firing back and forth this morning. My guess is the Big Ten "resorted" to inviting Oregon/Washington after realizing how air tight these ACC contracts are. Apparently ESPN has the ACC locked down for another twelve or so years, has no intention of letting the conference get raided, and has aggressive legal teams ready to fight tooth and nail to keep the ACC and their corresponding TV deal with the ACC intact.

Getting a team out of the ACC was gonna run well past nine figures.

FSU reportedly working with JPMorgan Chase to figure out how they can finance a buyout so they can leave the ACC...

They’re basically the same. Oregon is one spot back. Washington three.

Here’s a question, you watch more Hurricanes football than Michigan football, right? And probably watch some FIU football too?

Do you have a link for this?

@Mdot21 provided a link but it is an FSU site that only lists the top-25.

So, if this is so, the Pac is pretty much toast, right? Do they migrate en masse to the B12? Turn out the lights? Asking for an enemy.

McCullough went on to say the Seminoles "will at some point consider leaving the ACC" barring "radical change in revenue distribution." Other trustees were even more candid on a potential exit from the conference. FSU trustee Drew Weatherford stated, "it's not a matter of if we leave [the ACC], but how and when we leave." FSU trustee Justin Roth additionally called for an exit to come within the next year.

FSU is talking with JPMorgan Chase about financing their exit...it's gonna happen and sooner rather than later.

Pac was already toast, this really changes nothing if Washington & OU go to the B1G. Not adding Texas & OU when they had the chance sealed their fate. B1G poaching USC & UCLA put two bullets in the head. It's been a zombie conference on life support the second the LA schools left. Colorado already announced they were leaving for the B12 before this OU/Wash to the B1G stuff and the AZ schools were reportedly right on the heels of jumping over to the B12 as well. Pac was already toast.

As many as can get to the big 12 are going to go there. Then a call to the American. And if that doesn’t work, I guess the WAC?
