Seems there is always opposition from different factions. I wonder if the politicians will eventually stop it?

Does UCLA ever actually join the B1G?
- Thread starter bluewhiteapos
- Start date
The B1G already has USC.....so let UCLA languish in the PAC and get other schools that want in...why waste so much energy fighting for a school that doesn't seem to fight for itself? Pull the invite and see what happens. College Football is all about $$$...
all that matters is eyeballs, NIL, TV contracts.

Exactly … just let the California political idiots continue to cover their losses.
B1G got the premium team in USC. Move on to Washington and/or Oregon, once you have the quality schools. The vulture’s will pick the remaining carcasses clean, ucla can be one of them.
If TV markets, as is often said, is the driver of B1G expansion, I never understood the reasoning behind offering two LA teams.
I can’t wait till these west coast schools come in and realize they did not join the Big 10 but they are now in the Big2 !
Well this institution is located in California where the failing of liberal logic can lead to any of a multitude of wrong decisions, but let's imagine they can read . The University of Texas has suffered in athletic prestige since they angered Texas A & M by not sharing TV revenue and in fact by forming that juggernaut that is the Longhorn Network. A & M bolted for the financially greener fields of the SEC whilst UT languished in a withering rodeo known as the Big 12. I live in Houston and I don't even really watch that crap *** league. Perhaps, the UCLA illuminati can draw a comparison to their current situation with the UT malaise and come to their senses.
A beautifully entertaining sub-culture of NCAA football is the "stupid little brother" sector embodied by schools like UT, Pitt, FSU and now UCLA...a group incapable of making wise decisions from direct observations. I love me some college football.

Wow. All kinds of heavy horseshit here.
“Among the primary reasons to oppose UCLA’s move to the Big Ten, the NCPA cited academic harm and racial exploitation, student-athlete mental health and the benefits of increased revenue from a conference move benefiting only a select few.”
All you have to know is that the “organization” advocating for Yuck La to not join the B10 is stating the reason is for academics (as if that really matters in these NIL days) and mental health of the players. LOL! What a bunch of imbeciles, but then again this is California.
Yes, they'll join. The NCPA is the PETA of college athletics. Basically existing for their own egos and with no actual relevancy beyond that.
At worst UCLA pays Cal some hush money.

I truly appreciate the whole culture wars rhetoric some of you employ whenever California is brought up. The creativity and panache involved leaves me almost speechless. .
Does the NCPA know that we have a nipple thread???
Former teachers only shut up when they're dead--sorry about that.

It does not matter. As long as USC joins, that should be considered a huge win for the BIG. No one cares about UCLA football.
And when we have done 35 years....it's 10 years after we are dead!
No one cares about UCLA football including UCLA. No football program does so little with so much...well, maybe Texas.
I hope not. UCLA is bad enough without dragging Cal along with them.
I thought it was pretty good.
It's posts like this which suck the enjoyment out of message boards. Some people just can't stop themselves from inserting an irrelevant political opinion.
"All of your past achievements are meaningless compared to our rich Midwestern history. You are now officially a patsy for michigan and osu and whoever else we want to see on top."
UCLA brings nothing to the table that benefits existing Big Ten members. UCLA is Kevin Warren's version of Delaney's Rutgers (well, ok, to be fair, not THAT bad).Seems there is always opposition from different factions. I wonder if the politicians will eventually stop it?
That said, UCLA will be in the Big Ten.
isn't the plan for this transition to be 2024, which lines up to the 12 team playoff?
is the questioning of UCLA a budget issue?
Yes, UCLA will join the Big Ten. This bluster will amount to nothing.
Not that it even matter much - the main benefit to adding UCLA specifically is for USC's sake, giving them a very local conference opponent that results in close games. There's a smaller benefit from other Big Ten teams in some sports that would allow them to take easy road trips to LA and play both teams in one weekend.
But if not UCLA, the Big Ten will invite Washington or Stanford and be just fine. They needed to add another team to go along with USC, but the Trojans are the real prize and the other team is just to keep it even.

That was very Oswald Batesian of you.
Pssst ... UCLA isn't currently balking at anything. They're joining the Big 10. The subject matter of this thread was the musings of an advocacy group having nothing to do with UCLA directly, in terms of decision-making. But that won't stop you from using your conservative logic of "I don't care if this is true ... I just want to ***** about something and run with it irrespective of its truth. If I say it enough, I can get enough fellow idiots to believe in my new faked up truthiness."
That's exactly what Ohio State and Michigan said about PSU.
I have no idea if "they" (whomever within those institutions you might be referring to) did or didn't. (If anyone there did, they were, obviously, very wrong). But, in any event, it is immaterial to the current situation.
Still the Big 2 no matter how many teams are added.
