BTM:

“Days ago USC & UCLA reached out to Big Ten with interest. Digital Docs have been swapped. Lots of steam that boosters of both Los Angeles schools will support the move to Big Ten. Bruins mega booster is completely on board.”

“George Kliavkoff aggressive in his courting of top PAC brands to stay together. Communicating with Big Ten on possible alliance or merger. You can’t underestimate the likeness factor of Kilavkoff. He is very well liked”

“No confirmation of course, but perception coming from Los Angeles is Stanford and California are part of pitch to Big Ten. Oregon and Washington would be added on to pitch at some point if this movement continues to grow”

“To get Big Ten fully onboard to choose raid over building an alliance with PAC the Big Ten schools will need to see an enlarge slice of media money over the projections they have in hand starting in 2023 from FOX. Total merger with PAC doesn’t do anything for Big Ten”

I think that the PAC12 gets whittled down. It seems like people are missing -- TDVick 07/29/2021 4:46PM

Poor Wazzu won't survive this ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/29/2021 5:29PM

Your point will make it hard for B10 or SEC to expand much more. -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 4:56PM

I saw a poll where 77% of Ohio State fans DO NOT want to go to the SEC. -- TDVick 07/29/2021 5:40PM

Completely agree, I don't see real justification for more SEC expansion. -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 5:50PM

I kind of doubt the SEC wants Clemson or FSU. They didn't in 2012. -- TDVick 07/29/2021 6:01PM

Fully Agree. The rich get richer. The poor get screwed. ** -- VT ChemE 1986 07/29/2021 1:59PM

2 more -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 12:52PM

No way. There is something about USC / UCLA in B1G that seems sacreligious. ** -- cincyhokie 07/29/2021 12:44PM

The break up of the Pac12 would be troubling to me. -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 12:48PM

Yep, plus it upsets my dream ACC/PAC raid dream. ** -- goldendomer 07/29/2021 12:46PM

Nice dream, just don't know how to overcome geographical distance problem. ** -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 5:52PM

Probably just avoid cross-divisional scheduling at all for smaller sports -- Synaesthesia 07/29/2021 6:05PM

Doesn't sound like much of a conference, just two conferences with some -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 7:18PM

The real point would be financial, not competitive -- Synaesthesia 07/29/2021 8:40PM

My thoughts are to be bold and are as follows -- hokie4ever 07/29/2021 3:21PM

Not bad but if the ACC is willing to cut 5 teams then I think other options -- wwhokie1 07/29/2021 6:02PM

I still think the Pac 12 staying in tact is still good for ACC and ND. -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 1:08PM

This “western pod” is what I’ve been pushing for since this crazy started -- HokieAl 07/29/2021 2:03PM

If the ACC isn't a player out West, and the Pac12 breaks up, one of several -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 2:20PM

Absolutely. The ACC is almost backed into a corner -- HokieAl 07/29/2021 2:22PM

Virginia Tech needs to be proactive. In two ways, in two factions. -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 2:36PM

I think it is worth the gamble. ** -- Maroon Baboon 07/29/2021 2:03PM
