about the realignment going on in college football;
I would like nothing more than to see the ACC and especially Miami fall apart, go broke, etc.
It was 18 years ago when the ACC commissioner John Swafford and Miami president Donna Shalala joined forces to raid the up and coming Big East football conference.
I watch as many YouTube shows as I happen to see that topic the PAC 12 for predictions or feature Cal per se. Seem there are dozens with many run by awkward amateurs yay- hoos that are pretty shallow. The other day I checked out one, young meathead nerds, where when they started with Cal…. Get this - they stated we beat Norte Dame. Instant click off. I think it was Saturday Scholars with Xan and Shoob, with Gonzo.
It's the affirmative clarifying stmt that they were *NOT* watching & waiting from the sidelines, that's my favorite part. It means they totally were. Classic reverse spin! Bless their blackened hearts.
One of the things that baffles me most is the sheer inactivity by the four remaining schools in the Pac-12. I know this is hindsight, but didn't they see what was going to happen? Did they really think that they could survive athletically without the exposure that football and basketball bring?
There are rumors emerging about what the PAC 4 schools are going to do. Seems to be group oriented rather than individual. That's about all I know since there is nothing confirmed or even leaked at this point. So who knows. Keep watching Twitter I guess. I hope we end up doing what Rugbear suggests.
Since when does CAL give a crap about sports, especially football? These libtards despise college athletics, and make no effort to compete at the highest level.
Don’t forget to thank Larry Scott for putting everybody in the situation before he left the pack 12 with millions in his pocket, leaving millions on accounted for for everybody else to deal with. Shitty businessman, so unfortunate that nobody had the cojones to negotiate a real deal.!!! Really Apple subscription for the Pac 12 are you serious? What’s done is done, I hope the conference of champions finds a way.!!!!
From a B1G member, your pain is felt. Please remember, USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon requested to become B1G members, and after due deliberations, we're accepted into the B1G. The B1G is now at 18 conference schools and, most likely, will eventually grow to 20 or more in the next 5 years. The PAC12 was a great conference for over 100 years. It's sad the conference leadership was.not visionary and setting examples.
The best option right now might be to merge the mountain west and remaining PAC 4 teams. Strike an equal distribution contract with a sports station and western region contract soon before it's too late.
According to Mandel the Apple offer was raised to 23 million per school guaranteed at the last minute with a target of 1.7 million subscribers to trigger an additional 7 million dollars. So for 7 million Oregon and Washington fled taking the sure thing and will incur the travel nightmare they will face. The maximum pending additional subscription levels might have resulted in a payout up to 50 million. However by that time the lack of a linear option scared away the powers that be.
What u don't like my comments ur selfish u care little for athletes competitive spirit especially Rose Bowl pity as for Cal Standford Washington State good luck
I think all of u are selfish PAC 12 fan since I was in the teens raised in Southern California the teams were competitive and were going strong example Oregon State beat Florida in LV Bowl even though Florida wasn't that good it was a great win for Oregon State
All is lost no more great matches in the Rose Bowl infact it was going down hill because of the playoffs system
Great game Ohio State vs USC or Wisconsin vs Oregon etc
These are student athletes not professional players so greed over shadows the love of the game and students spirit
SMU joining PAC 12 is like Indiana state university football joining SEC it isn't there in TX most teams in the big 12 or TX Oklahoma don't play at SMU why the university offers nothing but hard ache they don't play anyone either

It was a joke. ;-)
We need to be in a P5 (now P4 Conference) or we will wilt and die as our recruiting will die).
We can't be in P4 conference but can be in Pac4 conference. How confusing!

Is there a topic where you folks won’t bring up politics to make some irrelevant point?

Sad day for college football. The transfer portal and NIL have essentially ruined college football.

Good luck 🤞
Not standing and watching from the sidelines? Kind of seems like it.
From 12 to 4 and we’re one of the last ones.
It’s like we’re getting picked last for teams on the kid’s playground and Cal is the skinny kid no one wants.
Only thing I can hope is that the Admin has to say nothing specific due to ongoing, one sided negotiations.
