I still wish the Big 10 and Pac 12 had formalized their alliance 10 years ago. If I remember correctly it would have involved lots of scheduling of games between the two.
@roaminglion EFF the pac12.. Don't bring your garbage here.
Why does it matter to you anyway? You proclaimed your love for Alabama on PennLive years ago.

Lol, you need help
I thought aside from AAU requirements, the Big's natural tie-in conferences would have been the, Big 12, ACC or Big East. The Rockies are an imposing natural barrier ....The PAC has basically been nothing but USC and throw in a few years of other programs at the top.
I gotta be honest fellas. I like this idea. The schedule possibilities for PSU is exciting. USC, Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Clemson, UNC, FSU, maybe ND? This is much more exciting than playing Purdue or Illinois on a cold gloomy November Saturday, is it not?
My man navylion thinks I’m a Tide fan lol…that gator lover 😝
I have to say that I believe this is coming and then some...I believe at the end of the day you are going to have one super conference...I envision 45 teams or so broken up into geographical areas that culminate into an 8 team playoff for the national title...I can see the B1G, Pac 12 and ACC merging into a major super conference with the smaller athletic schools eventually getting shuffled out with the same thing happening in the SEC with the end of this winnowing away process ending up with about 45 to 60 schools forming a super conference...with 4 to 6 "divisions" that end up in some sort of playoff that ends with a national title game...I don't envision this for college basketball as the NCAA tournament is too big and too lucrative as it is...Super conferences are more or less unnecessary as the current conference configuration is more or less for tournament seeding purposes only...I honestly think this is going to be how it all shakes out in the end...

I agree, this could happen, and if so, why would the schools of the super conference have need for the NCAA, at least for football.
@lakerie Paul Finebaum said the ncaa is pretty much over. He said it a few weeks ago.
I guess the next big headline for college football will be announcing Mark Emmert as Commissioner.

I was listening to Mark Packer last week on the day the Baylor ruling came out, which was such a embarrassing joke for the NCAA. Packer was ripping the NCAA for that laughable slap on the wrist. Anyway, he said the NCAA only exists for one reason at this point….the NCAA basketball tournament. And the reason is, the last two NCAA basketball tournament tv rights contracts were $10.4 BILLION and $8.8 BILLION. You read that right, BILLION. So, the NCAA is a money whore. Everything, unfortunately revolves around money.

That's actually not that much money. Here's why: The money is about $800 million a year over more than 10 years, and each team generates money by being in the tournament and doing well. I believe the Pac 12 set their record last year with 19 units of distribution money in a single tournament. That money came out to almost $40 million total. That's it, and it spreads to all the schools in the Pac 12. Each school will receive about $3.22 million in payouts. That is chump change, we pay Franklin more than that a year.
@roaminglion NCAA it self is a non profit, they only get a cut to feed their austerity budget?

I believe that is the case. Overhead, salaries, etc

You make a good point 99
I just heard a report on SiriusXM that the talks are progressing and that a deal is imminent...What a conference that is going to be...Coast to Coast media markets...It won't be long before that is the premier conference in the country...
