Nothing particularly hard hitting, but I did notice it was interesting that he was asked when or if we're going to 4 super-conferences, and he doesn't really answer that question. He changes the question when he essentially asks whether or not the world of college sports is going to a Power 2.




He dodged it quite well.

My guess is the PAC breaks up first with UO/Wash going to the B1G, B12 grabs AZ, CO, Utah and ASU/UConn.

The B1G has to finalize their TV contract since Warren jacked it up and nobody wants to seriously pay for the current PAC-12 content moving forward.

If/when the ACC starts to breakup, I assume there will be a fight over North Carolina and Notre Dame. B1G will reunite Irish with several rivals while the SEC will offer a different region and recruiting grounds—possibly a partial membership deal if ESPN can work that out. UNC will pit the B1G vs SEC by getting Tagalongs added with them. Some combo of UVA, NCSt and Duke will seal that move.
