So who are we rooting for? Without thinking, I'm thinking that the least odious three are, in order Christie, Scott and Hutchinson.)
I don't know Burgum but North Dakota should be an Indian Territory at best and shouldn't even have a Governor or or two senators.

The more I think about Cal and Stanford to the ACC the less sense it makes and the more sense SMU makes.
SMU and UTSA.

I'm thinking that for Stanford and Cal, this is a holding pattern, and the "hope" would be the next time there is a realignment tsunami, there might be a new Pac that comes up from the ashes.

Is Hurd going to make the cut?
Isn't Meatball Christie doing a bit better?

Eh, so depressing. I was an undergrad during the Elway years, and we didn't have that many people then either, and given that the stadium then held over 80K, it wasn't a great look. But you could take kegs into the stadium and it was pretty damn fun.
Was about 18 rows up from the trombone player at Cal at the Big Game with The Play.
It's hard not to imagine that if this were happening a decade ago that Stanford would have gotten a closer looks from the Big10. It's too bad they couldn't have kept the southern cal rivalries front and center, and competitive.

Please explain to me why the Big 12, a conference who should be desperate to raise their academic standing, wouldn't take arguably the preeminent academic university in the world, who is dying to be added?
Harvard was my safety school.
You wouldn't understand a thing I said if I tried to explain it to you.

Who cares. Harvard has a better academic reputation than Stanford. Nobody is trying to add them to the ACC. The academics don't matter at all.
Stanford and Cal should form a league with Rice, SMU, Tulane, etc. Pull in Duke and Georgia Tech eventually when the ACC crumbles. Be the "smart conference that also cares a little about sports". Own it. Stop partnering with the Oregon States of the world.
That's a really misinformed statement and you should feel bad about it. Stanford's academic rep has been on the same level as Harvards for the past few decades under any measuring stick. But more relevant to this discussion, the athletic success has been way about the schools you mention. Stanford has had success in NY bowl games in recent memory, but those schools don't come close to Stanford in terms of frankly ANY sports other than Duke in basketball.
We live in a new sports world and Stanford doesn't fit in any currrent model very well, but your post pretty dumb.

This movie was the sheeeeeeeeee-it.

Thanks for the source of the Stanford veto. I've always believed the rumor because it's just so fucking Stanford. Which is why I was so fucking disappointed that they may have been a reason we didn't get into the Pac12 and now are going to the bubba conference.
None of which alters the idea that they have a brand that still, despite the last decade, should remain in the game.

Triangle of Sadness (2022)

Holy shit this movie was great. I went it not knowing anything about it. (For some reason I thought it was about an old couple just hanging around). Hard to imagine how I would have viewed it had I known anything about it - the whole point was the surprise.

I think the Big story really is SMU. If they get their foot in the door they are going to make something of themselves.
The chances of the Pac4 ever amounting to anything >>> SMU amounting to something

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, and the two Bay Area schools get ACC B1G invites sometime soon, but I think their best and most likely option is what you're suggesting.
Best approach is to get into any power conference, hold on, and hope that they can hang on when the next round of realignment takes place. Lightning will also have to strike in the form of a generational football coach a la Harbaugh and a Phil Knight style alumnus to save the program.
Being relegated finishes Stanford football off, with very negative implications for all its other sports.

Cal and Stanford- they're orders of magnitude higher than anyone else.
Well, we kind of are, aren't we?
