BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

I can confirm I am not the source.

 

USC and UCLA have well more than 5% of the TV sets in the LA market. And USC has averaged more than 66,000 fans at every home game in the last four non-Covid seasons. USC football is a very big deal in the Southland. Very big.

 

We both forgot the Big Ten having both the Philadephia and Pittsburgh markets.

 

I thought the ACC claimed the Pittsburgh market, and the AAC owned Philadelphia!

Speaking of Penn State, Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC could be like Penn State joining the Big Ten. PSU has made a shitpot more money, but it has never matched the consistent, sustained football success it had as an independent as a member of the Big Ten.

Oklahoma won't own the SEC like it has the Big 12.

 

Milwaukee

 

If it were it wouldn’t be tolerating Clay Helton.

 

No. 37 and dropping annually.

 

I can't see the Pac-12 adding either. They already have two teams in SoCal, so the Aztecs add nothing. Does either school measure up academically?

BYU, maybe? Even with the Sunday problem? Although I hear the Cougars are making eyes at returning to the Mountain West.

 

Then I guess it's not very big at Penn State or Michigan, either.

 

I think it's bigger than just a Sunday competition problem. I mean, you're looking at Stanford and Berkeley being in the same league as a school where the official policy is that Starbucks is a prohibited drug and Native Americans are Jews who sailed to America and had their skin complexion changed by God.

 

Plus, if an athlete does go on a mission, the NCAA pauses the eligibility clock.

 

The Big 12 can add Houston, SMU and Rice and put 2/3 of the old SWC back together.
