B1G news today

Supposedly there's going to be an announcement today at 4 that is going to impact the conference. Adding new team(s), reallignment, new division names? Don't really know...

 

[deathroh]

Or moving the Ohio* game to October??

 

[lostleader]

where do you hear/read this?

 

[deathroh]

On the Scout premium message board, plus another board I look at. Supposedly they were talking about it on WTKA this morning too, that's where the Ohio* to October speculation came from. 9 game schedule is also being thrown around.

 

[lostleader]

Well I seen where ohio* wanted to play Hawaii late next season. After the UM game to simulate a bowl.

I doubt its to big, or other stuff would of been leaked by now.

 

[deathroh]

Who knows how big it will be, but it's supposedly going to impact the entire conference. I do think adding teams can be ruled out. You're right, something like that would have leaked for sure with all the different parties involved.

 

[lostleader]

Maybe the Big Ten is going to kick OSU out of the conference, and make them join the MAC.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maybe they don't want us using the * after Ohio*.

I know what it is. Arizona is joining the Big Ten.

Getting g Rich Rod back. That would be sweet.

I know what it is. Arizona is joining the Big Ten.

That's pretty funny.


I heard that the B10 has called a news conference to give Herb a platform to express his deep, heartfelt gratitude to the fans of Ohio*, but that in order to focus on family, his health and his burgeoning career as an electric and magnetic Tv personality, that he is stepping down from the Ohio* head coaching position.

I was not all that far off. RR gets his wish, but too far away in years to ensure that he'll even be around to coach against Michigan.

 

[redandguilty]

Is this the 1st step towards a 4 conf agreement that will result in a "National Championship" game limited to those 4 confs? If the SEC partnered with someone (who?) in a similar fashion, it could be possible. No more BCS nonsense...

I was thinking that too. Karma will have RichRod getting fired at the end of 2016.

 

[deathroh]

It seemed like the Pac-whatever has been down in basketball, but I wanted to check the rankings to be sure. Uhh, yeah. Nobody ranked this year. #9 AZ and #23 Washington last year, and only #21 Washington the year before. I hope this doesn't take the place of the Big Ten-ACC challenge, especially now that we're starting to actually win some, but I'm guessing it will.

 

[TheVictors]

In football it makes sense and aligns the two conferences, with the existing history of the Rose Bowl tie-in. Plus, the SEC would go to 32 if it could and secede from the rest of CFB.

the next phase of making arrangements - this includes other sports - it will set up some rivalries and is establishing strong parternership

PAc12 gets more out of us than Big 10 in my opinion

For sure
