Like I was telling Mark, spare me the better than thou BS. As I've laid out and explained, USC didn't betray anyone because expansion wasn't happening. Do you feel better now that you threw on your cape and flew in here to save the day? You all want progress, only if you're dictating it.

If you want a thread bashing the Big Ten about sabotage, maybe you should consider creating one?

Cut me the topical thread superhero crap. You must be great at dinner parties.

Progress would be football breaking totally separate from the NCAA and every school being an independent, free to schedule whomever else they want with individual TV contracts.

What is not progress is a mainly Midwestern conference cutting the throats of longtime partners by inviting schools across the country. Oh, I guess the “alliance” wasn’t really a thing either? I feel like people have every right to hurl some turds towards the Big 10 right now. I also have a feeling this is going to fail miserably for every sport outside of football for the LA schools.

Hers is what I'm having a real hard time understanding with you. Why do you think I'm defending the Big Ten conference? Where did I ever say I was? I was comparing individual schools until you came storming in to save your peer. Why are you trying to create an argument that doesn't exist on this thread?

You diverted the attention towards the ACC, which has literally ZERO to do with this thread. It’s pretty simple.

I personally don't feel as if I diverted from the thread at all. That's your opinion and I'll respect that. As argumentative as our conversation has been, it's still been enjoyable, I appreciate that.

It’s fine, if you don’t think bringing the ACC into an unrelated thread is wrong then you should own it and not be surprised if somebody calls out the Big Ten.
