I figured it was a matter of time before Oregon and Washington made the move. FSU and Clemson is a surprise

 

[ClemsonRangers]

doubt it

 

[James12]

The SEC is scared of Clem and FSU!

Bruh, we already have a Vanderbilt and kentucky.

 

[Resica]

I wouldn't be surprised with anything at this point!

 

[John Cooper]

All this mess will be the downfall of CFB. I don't want TX or OK, didn't want Mizz or AtM.

This is a money grab by the conferences and that's all it is.

 

[Tblank]

Didn’t think the Big could get any weaker but I may be wrong!

Next up will be, what will Miami, VT, Baylor, and the Arizona schools do next?

Arizona to the Big12 tomorrow.
At least that's what's being reported.

I agree. Don't take offense but Clemson brings nothing to the big financially but I can see why they would want a school from the Fl market. It's clear the BIG wants a national footprint as well as ABC, NBC and Fox want advertising dollars nationwide. The sec appears to still prefer to be regional and is why the BIG will continue to lead financially.

Who knows?

I read that USC and UCLA were actually going to go to the SEC. But I haven't seen or read any news of Lincoln Riley resigning so I think that move is highly unlikely.

The B1G can lead financially. The SEC will lead with championships. That seems like a fair trade to me.

Does that include Az St?

 

[Arrow3]

They might as well just do away with conferences. Just schedule who ever you want to play and have a 16 team playoff at the end of the season... It's all really getting ridiculous.

The SEC has the bigger footprint in the areas of talent. California will be a big addition to the Big’s talent but, as you’ve said, your’s is more market based.

 

[Browning Slayer]

Doesn't matter what any of these 2nd tier conferences do. The Natty's will still be going through the SEC.

 

[Madsnooker]

Does that include Az St?

No it doesn't

 

[ClemsonRangers]

IF FSU can bust out, maybe it opens the contract for others to leave.

Clemson would jump at an SEC invite, otherwise they would stay put and gut it out
