Oregon and Washington make a ton of sense.
Arizona and ASU kind of do too, but not as much
Figure if they get Stanford ND comes
The Big Ten (in vigesimal)
Oregon Washington Stanford and ND make the most sense
ASU/au can lump in with the remaining big 12
Are there any state laws about WSU or OSU needing to be in the same conference as UW or UO? I donāt know anything really, but it seems like a thing that could exist.
The first guy is a Twitter nobody. Latter is more of a big deal but things change obv
This is all so stupid.
Honestly for the good of the kids and the spirit of the competition, we just need to separate football/basketball from everything else.
Imagine being a UCLA softball or soccer player and playing 20+ games a year a 4-hour flight away.
I read something on the Athletic a couple years ago that said the average travel budget per year for a West Virginia Womenās Soccer player was $25k per year. Imagine an institution paying $25k per year for student for any other activity that produced zero revenue for the school.

Mens soccer wouldnāt be bad itād be 4 or 5 games per year in the Midwest or east coast. (Only 9 big ten mens soccer teams)
But yeah thereās an upcoming separation for sure imo
no, only thing Iām aware of is Iowa who forces Iowa and Iowa State to play each other might be more though idk

I donāt know of any rules about Oregon or OSU having to give Portland State a guarantee game every however many years (although they fairly frequently do). If that rule doesnāt exist Iād guarantee thereās nothing about Oregon and OSU playing (unless itās like a hundred years old).
actually Iām wrong, this is a myth (a commonly held one)
it has gone to the courts who ruled them to play it but itās not in the legislation so probably absolutely nothing anywhere
itās still going to happen through 2025 after that who knows

Yeah ok. Give me big ten west. Just all the good pac 12 teams and Iowa state
big thousand west
USC UCLA Oregon Washington Utah Colorado Nebraska Stanford
wouldnāt be the worst I guess I doubt they ever bother with Iowa State
ND to the B1G should be the next domino.
Even better we could have a west coast conference featuring the two primary universities from each state or region and they can all play each other each year resulting in each team having a distinct historical narrative and both bitter and friendly rivalries with decades of traditions. The ultimate goal each season could be to get the chance to play in one of the most renowned events in all of American sports in itās most scenic location.
I FUCKING HATE THIS SO MUCH
Itās the SEC fault. Everyone else is playing survive or die
Iām glad my conference is going to be one of the ones left standing.
