But you gotta score, too.

So, Washington State and Oregon State want to recreate the Pac-12 instead of just jumping into the Mountain West. Which would be bad news for the Wyoming and San Jose State type schools. But... I don't see how, beyond the brand, those two have the bargaining power to force that. If they kept one of the bigger programs, maybe, but I don't see UNLV paying exorbitant fees just to join a failing conference.

Not the Broc! How will the Buckeyes stand up to that?!

27 game winning streak and it's a FBS title contender versus the all-time loss leader in FBS history. Betting on the Hoosiers is like betting on the Washington Generals.

I would've shown the team off during the Indiana State game.

And there's a school in Indianapolis that is one of them. You may have heard of it, I think it has the Indiana University handle to it. A combination of lack of communication with fans and students that games are happening at most of these institutions along with virtually zero television (they're all student or local guys broadcasting games that are streamed either on ESPN+ or services you never heard of) make attending regular season games almost an impossible task. It also doesn't help that sports fans who go to these colleges will probably be rooting for either schools they followed growing up or more successful programs.

At this point, his secret weapon might as well be an enchanted jock strap.

So, if I were to bet on this, the 28.5 refers to the margin of victory while the over/under is the number of points scored? I think I'll bet the over on the points scored, as Indiana doesn't have any issues scoring, especially when Ohio State starts playing reserves. But it's the margin of victory that gets me.

Ohio State Mercenaries 56 Another Long @$$ Year in the Tailgate 24

IUPUI announced their schedule and it's as clear a "we're going to win 4 games this season" schedule as you can get. Actually is pissing off the Horizon League fans with how many games don't count to the NET ranking or are with teams in the 300s like Elon and Eastern Illinois.

Tom Allen is our idiot coach is our prediction.

Stanford's now in this phase of negotiations:

More bathrooms! You can never say no to more bathrooms.

Hield is still on the Pacers roster.

Stanford is the only bargaining chip left out there that a conference can use to lure in Notre Dame, and even that isn't good enough anymore. Reports are saying the ACC may consider nabbing them and Cal for the heck of it, but... I don't know.

At least the conditioning program will finally enter the 2000s.

Oh, the chances are around 100%

Utah, Arizona State apply for Big 12 membership, sources say - ESPN Well, it's over for the Pac 12.

Well... we know for sure that they're definitely going to send it out to the West Coast for a few years (probably one or two seasons in LA, either at Staples Center or the Intuit Dome, and one in either Portland or Seattle), but if they add North Carolina/Duke/Other ACC teams, they may consider a geographically centered program. I don't know if Indianapolis will cut it, unfortunately... not that we're bad at hosting, more that we're not longer the center of the league. Luckily, I found the new home of the Big Ten Tournament!

And, apparently, Cal and Stanford are still on the table.

At least it's good to be one of the schools in the super conference rather than out, but God it's miserable knowing how and why we're becoming a bloated monster.

I think the Big Ten is aiming for Duke and North Carolina, while the SEC wants Clemson, Florida State, and Miami.

Sources: Big Ten has begun preliminary talks to potentially add Oregon, Washington, Cal and Stanford (yahoo.com) These talks are very preliminary and probably vapor, but if Colorado is gone and the Big XII wants to carve up more of the Pac-12, what's not to stop the Big Ten?

Big XII is all "we only need one school", but they really want to grab the rest of the Four Corners schools to make travel affordable out there and create a BYU/Utah rivalry for media deals. They still won't be as lucrative as the Big Ten or the SEC, but they want to secure themselves as the #3 conference.

Especially Tuberville. Like, dude showed he wasn't the brighest bulb as head coach, then he went to Congress.
