It might be called the Hoover Dam. As of last summer, It was producing 1/3rd less power for the region, because of the low water levels, and they're expecting it to get worse and less power production. And yet the current political party in charge thinks we all should be driving electric vehicles, we won't be able to recharge. They are loving all the turmoil and chaos in this country, and future humanitarian crisis out west.

Sorry about the ancient reference. Yes, this is the college football forum, but the topic is linked to someone referencing Las Vegas as a great market for B1G expansion, but the problems are huge and being ignored by today's politicians. Vegas may become a ghost town, sooner than anyone thinks.

Well here’s a fact UNLV has as much chance of being in the Big 10 as Bowling Green

Politics and big time sports are in-separately linked, especially since the "fundamental transformation" of America began a couple of administrations ago.

Politics and big time sports are in-separately linked, especially since the "fundamental transformation" of America began a couple of administrations ago. It has zero to do with UNLV being a member of the Big 10, because it’s never going to happen. Now back to the actual topic. Looks like Notre Dame and Stanford is a good chance to be accepted together and then Oregon and Washington. Arizona, Arizona St, Utah and Colorado are expected to be extended invites from the Big 12

CBS Sports reported this afternoon about an hour ago that the BIG 12 is in deep discussions to add 6 Pac 12 schools. Those 6 being Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State.

It looks like Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State just got left out in the cold.

Anyone else feel like Kevin Warren will drop the ball and Notre Dame ends up in the SEC?

Unless the current playoff format changes the only way you make it is to go undefeated or have one loss. It’s all about wins and losses because the money and recruiting hinges on being one of the last four standing. I think that’s going to get worse going forward. With these mega conferences, name and likeness, and the transfer portal a very few teams are going to rise to the top.

They are going to double what they were getting in their media deal with the PAC-12

With the way those two programs have been lately they finish with 2-3 losses which at the end of the year makes them irrelevant. Sure, they have more money in their pockets, but does it help them get 4-5 star recruits? It helps, but not as much as playing in those last two games. To get kids you need alumni willing to pay into a pot for name and likeness and you need to be on ESPN which means in the playoff hunt. That means being undefeated or having them debate your one loss.

Also USC has been shelling out all kinds of NIL deals. They literally bought the Biletnikoff winner who wasn’t even in the transfer portal

You're comments are locked into football only, whereas athletic directors and administrators are looking at the big picture, what benefits their entire athletic program. I have been expecting USC, under Lincoln Riley, to return to relevance, long before these latest turn of events, nothing has changed my assessment. The Trojans will be a strong asset to the B1G in the coming years. I would not put Oregon & Washington on any further hold. If ND can't offer a final answer this week, time to move on with Oregon & Washington and perhaps NC & perhaps Clemson or Duke. The B1G will enjoy a national footprint, that covers most major markets.

It’s about wins and losses. More money means nothing if you are a 2, 3, 4 loss team. Being one of the last 4 standing is all that matters. Do you think USC and UCLA don’t have rich alums to pay for name and likeness so they need the Big 10 TV revenue? There are plenty of grads willing to help the cause to get recruits. It’s not money they need. It’s screen time with the talking heads.

I think any ACC school is going to have a hard time leaving at this point. I think that even makes Notre Dame leaving a bit tougher.

I've seen it posted several times now...obviously most frequently on FB, but if it's true, then we really aren't much of a midwest conference anymore. OSU and USC every fall...how much fun would that be??
STUPID to call it the Big Ten now. How about THE CCC. Anyone want to guess why CCC? Two weeks later, but I'll bite. Why the CCC?

Surprised it took this long for something like this to come up. Berkeley not being included in the move to the Big 10 was a bold move by UCLA. I’m sure UCLA had to have some sort of legal backing by the Big 10 for this move.

UCLA has been in deep financial trouble, accruing over $100 million in debt in just the past few years. The Big 10 currently offers significant revenue advantages over the Pac-12 and undoubtedly will allow UCLA to clear up its poor finances more quickly.
It was only a matter of time, before the California politicians and bureaucrats got involved. Surprised it took this long. Newsome's shithole of a state is going to make sure UCLA stays the course and goes down with the sinking ship.(the heavily in-debted state on the verge of bankruptcy)
