    It's my understanding that Washington and Oregon will eventually get a full share and they aren't worth a full share so how is that a good decision? The Big Ten and SEC has prospered because they are in areas with strong fan interest and the Big Ten is adding schools in areas that have little to no interest in college sports and I don't know how that will work out in the long term.

    The premier academic conference is the Ivy League. If anyone wants to play Harvard and Yale, you can apply. We have two of the world's best universities looking for someone to take them and some still think academics matters in this.

    Cal has large stadium payments to make so they are really in bad shape even with the help from UCLA.

    Call me old-fashioned but I like playing schools in neighboring states. I know this an outdated idea.
  5. John80
    I cant see how any Big Ten fan could be excited about adding schools that aren't Notre Dame and aren't in a good recruiting area.

    Florida State has always acted this way and the only difference is they are broadcasting their behavior to the rest of the country because in their warped mind, this helps them. I'm sure Washington and Oregon really wants to move to the B10 but do you see their administrators acting this way? No because it's childish and embarrassing.

    There's a couple of long running realignment threads on the Georgia Tech Scout board and Florida State has been complaining and making threats for years and years. If they ever end up in the Big Ten or SEC they will start immediately complaining that Ohio State or Georgia is making more and threaten to move to another conference. It's who they are and what they do. They have been wronged and they will hold their breath until they get what they want.

    So the conference that is already making the most money will get involved in a massive ugly legal battle for Florida State? Only people from Florida State could believe this.

    Th Big Ten fans and schools really keeps this myth going. I point to a school like UC-San Francisco (great research funding, no sports) and I just get blank stares from them. If academics actually mattered the Big Ten wouldn't have rejected Cal and added Nebraska.

    Florida State doesn't have any leverage unless someone is going to write a huge check and if they had a lot of big money donors they wouldn't be constantly complaining about money. They can spend the next decade stomping their feet and it won't change anything.

    The SEC area already has good recruiting and population growth and 16 schools is perfect for the 9 nine game schedule the SEC will eventually have. I'm confident that the SEC will never have more than 9 conference games.

    At one point the ACC presidents had a snobbish attitude but they got over and added some programs that would help football. The BIG presidents blabs about academics but the reality is they rejected Cal and accepted Nebraska who isn't close to Cal academically. The PAC presidents have held onto to their snobbish attitude to the point of no return This is an ATHLETICS conference.
  13. John80
    If Klavikoff is fired the PAC presidents would hire another incompetent buffoon that will make mistakes until the conference is dead. I browsed a Washington board and several of their fans realize the presidents are ultimately responsible for this.
  14. John80
    I know University presidents aren't hired for their athletics knowledge but how can you be this clueless and out of touch with reality? I can see why USC felt that they have to get away from these people.

    Colorado once had a nationally relevant program while Rutgers has always been bad.
  16. John80
    I wouldn't be surprised if it's Oregon. Any school that cares about their football program can't stick with the incompetent clown show out there.
  17. John80
    Oregon/Phil Knight have spent too much money on their football program to let it fall into oblivion with Cal and Stanford. They will do whatever is best for their football program, whatever that is.
  18. John80
    I agree with Huard about Cal but Stanford's administration tries at football within their academic limitations and they have had several good teams in the last 15 years. An elite private school with only 8,000 undergrads isn't going to have great attendance but I don't think their administration can do much about that.

    SEC expansion has always been about increasing payouts for existing members and no one is going to take less money to be in the same conference with Florida State or UNC or anyone else. There's plenty of four year universities in the South that play football and if the B10 wants to have schools in every corner of the US, more power to them. That isn't the SEC's goal which was to get into Texas and that's done.

    I'm surprised at Arkansas and Tennessee but I know Arkansas had good support when Nolan Richardson had things going. I'm a UK fan but I know the money is in football. If basketball mattered financially, then the ACC would be worth a fortune. Most UK fans are tired of Cal and his one and done crap but our AD gave him a huge a contract. If he doesn't get to the Final Four this year I think it will be his last year because he's aware most people are tired of him.

    Kentucky is the only school in the SEC that has much fan interest in men's basketball. Players generally don't want to go to schools where there is little fan interest in the sport so it's difficult to consistently be good.
  22. John80
    I would ignore any source that thinks the heart of SEC country is in North Carolina and South Florida.
  23. John80
    Joker Phillips was the low point of UK's program but that was what finally convinced UK that they have to spend money on football. A lot of visitors to UK football games go to Keeneland and/or the Bourbon Trail. If you're flying into Bluegrass airport that isn't too far from the stadium.
  24. John80
    The money should have been settled BEFORE further expansion. They shouldn't be haggling over this now when the SEC has zero leverage. Some SEC schools have been successful in spite of the incompetent SEC management.

    It's hilarious that "Kentucky football" is in the same sentence with "top ten." Uk hasn't won the SEC since 1950 and in the last 40 years we have had a winning conference record two times. The one top 10 team Kentucky had in 1977 was achieved with massive cheating and probation. Kentucky is like Kansas State when Bill Snyder took over and schedules as such.
