Hey Woody, do you subscribe to the LA Times ?  But the $1 for 6 months is dirt cheap.  I don't really like having tons of random subscriptions all over that will go *poof* one day and do the auto thing.   I just got on a WSJ subscription and I'm not immediately sure why.  

Now UCLA, USC going east just shows what a weak mess the PAC has become. 

And when I think UCLA, USC, somewhat UW, ORE it reminds me of the old Rose Bowl and other games.  Plus the former great USC/ND matchups.  Great individual games but as a B10, B12, B16 where have the rivalries gone.  Not good for B10 regional classic matchups MST/M, IND/PUR and others whichcan get left out. 

I'm still an old and familiar guy not a B16   "have we played lately"?     "ever"?   person.  Now I do understand the economics of some of these B16 arrangements  but there can be a downside for some teams.

No I don't haha. I just wanted a link as a source and that came up first. 

 

It's not stopping at 16 though

 

 

 

 

 

Happy we're still taking high academic schools. Here are some remaining AAU options:

Duke, GA Tech, Stanford, 'Zona, Cal, Colorado, Kansas, UNC, Oregon, Pitt, Utah, Virginia, and Washington

 

 

Maybe we can kick out Nebraska?

Yeah where do they end up ?  Mountain West ? 1-AA ?
