Gross.
If true, truly horrible.
Start Slowly and taper off
Looks like we're opening the season with a conference game!
This was not the best outcome but the most well deserved.
Wonder if the Christ and Knowlton announcements timing was in any related to this?

Let's hope the GOR windows are short and the exit fees are low.
No one is reporting this except this person. I smell Shockey1…
Initial reaction: this can't possibly be real
Secondary reaction: we are dealing with the most incompetent and negligent administration in the history of college athletics so certainly possible

I don't know. If true (VERY big if), coulda been worse. Not ACC or B1G, but there are some good teams, good markets in there. Still hoping for better.
Oh wait. What about the $$$? I see ESPN and Apple graphics on that diagram. Starting to think this is fiction.
Get ready to be to be in the bottom half of a crap league. We couldn't get well paid coaches to be able to navigate Cal and win....now we expect someone making 50K to do so.

Overpaid does not equal good. Knowlton makes $1.3 million a year, need I say more?
So Charlotte and Tulsa get kicked out, but Temple gets a full share? And this is a conference Stanford is OK with?
Whatever conference we join, we should insist they rename it to the Pac-X or whatever.
I can't tell what half these schools are from looking at their logos.Bear_Territory said:

On a positive note some of those schools have some really attractive coeds.
Question for structural engineers. Is it possible to remove the top 30 rows from CMS with like a really big Sawzall? If Cal gets the capacity down to 25k, a half full stadium won't look that bad on Public Access Channel 25.
Have fun selling season tickets to this slop. See ya Ott & Co. Sell the team!
Conference of Champions, baby!
Why are you engaging in this crap?? No one is reporting this! NO ONE!!!!!

Did the University of California block Fresno State again?
No Tulsa, no Charlotte, no NAVY?
Also would be ridiculous not to include Air Force.
Totally made up, IMO

Apparently. We're such jerks. Also blocked advancing their prestige and success or something.
Cal Football. It just means more.

Like year to year. I hope to God this is a joke, but like any good hoax, it has to be plausible and unfortunately this one is.
What schools do the green, diving hawk and the nappy headed black bird represent in the west pod? Would prefer SMU and Rice to be somehow acreted to the west to give us Houston and Dallas as recruiting and TV markets.
The green diving hawk is UNT (University of North Texas) and the blue and orange bird is UTSA (University of Texas-San Antonio)
What are you talking about? Way to show some optimism there Northside91. Really? I don't know about you, but I've already circled my calendar for that Cal/Temple tilt scheduled for September 20, 2025. I'm expecting a gold out for the game. Wait...is that the same Temple team we lost to in that Garden State Bowl thing? Crap.Northside91 said:

What a sorry azz looking conference.
Thought the rumor I heard was that Luck was looking at this merger w/o Cal and Stanford.
If only Fresno State offered PhD's....
