For the record, I think he took back that tweet: "Decision may not come as soon as I expected." They may be taking another run at Notre Dame before deciding on other PAC teams.

Not sure Stanford gives us much. Don’t need another ultra snooty educational institution looking down upon us hicks.

And none of em play hockey
There’s some speculation that Stanford helps land Notre Dame since all of their biggest rivals will then be in the B1G. But who really knows?
That would make some sense. Stanford is a huge get for all Olympic sports and would make the BIG the forefront conference in almost every sport.RUMOR: Without reading 7 pages of this thread to see if this has been addressed, and with no linkable source, I am hearing that 2-4 more Pac teams will also try to join the Big 10.\ and an announcement will be made by end of next week.
Why do I picture Kevin Warren wiping drool from his lip after being woken from his afternoon slumber by his admin assistant telling him that that USC and UCLA are on the phone and want to talk about them joining the B1G?Do not credit Warren in this.
The Cali schools see the writing on the wall and realize since they're already bleeding socal talent to else wheres which weakens the Pac through equity, chances of nattys and bigger bucks are nil.
The most immediate upside to this: now we have something to talk about in the offseason!
What a great volleyball conference.That would make some sense. Stanford is a huge get for all Olympic sports and would make the BIG the forefront conference in almost every sport.
18 or 20 team conference could mean 8 or 9 games against your division and a CCG with the two division winners without the shot at repeat. Nobody could argue teams being deserving or not. Could argue that it gets a bit unbalanced to the West with Illinois, Rutgers, Indiana, and Northwerstern all to one side.
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, USC, UCLA, Stanford, (Washington, Oregon) would be brutal.
I'm guessing they and everyone else in the PAC were willing to throw us under the bus and not care what happened to us when they tried to pilfer half the Big 12. So, forget them.No Oregon please. So many better choices.
