“Why does the Big12 want to see college athletics fall apart” by Mendel
How dare you slander the Big 10 this way over the Big 12’s obvious play to destroy college athletics!
Cited health problems, not sure there’s much to it aside from the timing.
The article announcing mentions health issues, spending time with family. But he mentions next chapter vs. retirement. He is 62.
It might not be a coincidence the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against USC, Pac12 and NCAA yesterday.
My job used to be fun, but the next 2 years is going to be legal battles I didn't sign up for... time to dip and retire. A little cowardly, but can't blame him really.
Yeah, how is that the spin in the media? The B1G just innocently fell into USC and UCLA causing no harm whatsoever. But now the B1G won't move on any other PAC 12 teams until after the Big 12 moves first, so then it's the Big 12 that broke up the PAC 12. I just can't believe how acceptable it is to lie and create false narratives anymore. Has anyone in the media stepped forward and said "Not so fast there, B1G!"???
To the media, it was a brilliant strategic move to take USCLA, so why would they be blamed for what happens next?
Everyone knows USC and UCLA forced their way into the B10 just like former members of the B12 (Nebraska), ACC (Maryland) and Big East (Rutgers) did. Before that, random independents were doing it (Penn St).
The B10 is a victim here, people. What’s with all the victim blaming? You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Questions about management and behavior, it seems.

Mike Bohn’s resignation comes a day after The Times asked him and USC about internal criticism of his management of the athletics department.
Yeah…. starting to seem like there’s more to it than just health/retirement.Questions about management and behavior, it seems.

Mhver (a fan favorite around here) has been saying it since early March, when everyone was talking about Gonzaga. He went dark after the Colorado AD called out a tweet as total BS. Also, funny enough Flugar is claiming the talks with Gonzaga have stalled due to issues we can't seem workout with them. As Wilmer says, "realignment Twitter is the best Twitter."
Seeing this being floated by PAC fans since the news about the Magnificent 7 started. It would certainly put them the #3 conference, but leaves us Pitt/Louisville and leaves us our options with Duke, Syracuse, Wake, Boston, Wazzu, OreSt, and the top Group of 5s. I'd still be very happy with our conference.
The PAC leaving out WSU and OSU seems extremely unlikely. This just seems like a pipe dream to me
It’s just someone on Twitter’s desire.
If those schools get out of the ACC, 4-6 of them will join the Big 10 or SEC, and the others would probably end up with us
Seems that the B10 got the teams they wanted out of the P12 and are more than happy to wait on the ACC teams a decade down the line instead of taking Oregon and Washington. If the P12 explodes then they will take the other two schools but if you asked them, I would bet most are hoping the P12 can hold on for another 5 to 7 years, putting them closer to the timeline of the GOR in the ACC running out.
