I am surprised it took this long but here is the latest from that loco MHver3. Credit to f1do.
It is time to return to share with you the rumblings of the college football world.
Expansion isn't dead. It's just been in hibernation.
Big12 stands to win B1G in the next few years. But they won't be the only winners.
With the downfall of cable subscribers the next round of expansion will be expansion through contraction.
PAC12 we hardly knew you.
Dismal ratings. Horrible attendance figures. Network a disaster. Pac12 days are numbered.
B10 stands to gain from Pac12 woes but so does B12 and maybe even ACC.
There is currently one school I. The B1G that wants out. New AD has promised some that he will bring them back home
Mormons don't fear. The B12 has never stopped lines of communication. Still the most attractive option not locked up.
Contiguous states be damned when B10 absorbs a new time zone.
Would Colorado in B10 be enough to keep Husker fan base happy? Or is B12 return imminent?
I would like to again apologize to UC and BYU fans for the debacle I left over.
It was a crazy day and multiple sources were confirming. Honestly it was so much closer to happening than you know.
The real meat and potatoes concerns corn and steak.
New AD has already reached out to people at UT and OU. Looking into mending bridges.
New AD at Nebraska also has reached out to certain coach he once helped hire at another school
Within 5 years the landscape of CFB will change dramatically. Television money will start to decline
Streaming money will be the name of the game.
Compelling historical matchups will rule again.
WVU will not be long in our current home.
B12 will survive. Thrive even. But WVU will be playing regional rivals yearly again.
Things are already in motion that will change everything. The NCAA may not survive but big-time College Sports will.
Fans of Uconn, USF, UCF, BYU. Cincy, Houston fear not. You will not be left behind.
When the dust settles most mid-major programs will still have a seat at the table.
Power conferences will become power conglomerates. They Amy cannibalize each other and combine. It will be a new day
No one knows better than B10. It's why they went for the short tv deal.
Conference branding will not be the major stream of income anymore.
The true money will come from the streaming and tv rights for a new American College Athletics Association
Ok so I made up the name. But not the model.
It's closer to a reality than most know.
When it does happen it will be a true split of about 80-90 schools that will no longer operate under the NCAA umbrella.
But again. This is all a few years off. There are immediate things happening though.
It's a very real possibility that in the short term Nebraska may negotiate its way out of the B10.
And if Nebraska did come home then B12 already has options to add number 12.
the media and fans have turned against Nebraska in B10. TV money is nothing in the larger picture.
There have even been whispers that WVU could take Nebraskas spot in B10 in a settlement for both sides and keep B12 at 10 members for now.
It would mean a realignment of divisions for B10. And one of this is coming from B10 offices. Just Nebraska.
I wish I had time to share more but that's all I can do for now.
