along with Cal and Stanford, or somewhere. There are so many moving parts and pieces right now that it's hard to know where everyone will be when the music finally stops. But, it would be nice to keep some of the Pac-12 rivalries/relationships alive in another conference.

I live in Big 10 country and am a Michigan fan, but I enjoy watching the Pac-12 channels and have always rooted for UCLA to some extent. And, I make no apologies whatsoever for what the asshats running the Big 10 are doing. It was patently ridiculous when they added Maryland and Rutgers, and now this abortion of an idea happens. No sense of history or tradition whatsoever.

Add two east coast doormats? Sure, why not. Add two west coast schools that we have zero in common with? You betcha. Throw away the specialness of The Game and maybe have Michigan/OSU play twice a year? Sure thing. Hell, maybe we can figure out a way for them to play three times a year. We're all about the student athlete, you see. Kill what's left of the Pac-12 and gloat over the carcass? Hey, who's gonna stop us?
