Sports Illustrated’s college football analyst Ross Dellenger said that ‘if your school is not in the SEC or Big Ten, your school has probably expressed interest/discussed Big Ten and/or SEC membership.’ Oregon is not alone in its efforts to try and maximize more profits with a more meaningful schedule against schools that have all-or-nothing mindsets when it comes to their college football. Schools not in the SEC and Big Ten are calling up those commissioners to force more conference realignment Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff called those rumors ‘a constant stream of nonsense’ and assured the world that ‘no Pac-12 school is joining the Big 12.’Įvidently, Kliavkoff was unable to stave off the Big Ten’s effort to continue their efforts to expand in conference realignment as aggressively as the SEC has been following their acquisition of Texas and Oklahoma last summer. Oregon was considered for the Big 12 along with Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah, and Washington and were even ‘in deep discussions’ to do so. Of course, Oregon would be following USC and UCLA in jumping from a seemingly dying Pac-12 to join the only conference that appears willing (if they are able is still TBD) to compete with the SEC to be college football’s flagship. Oregon has initiated preliminary discussions in Chicago w/Big Ten to determine if Ducks are compatible in the Big Ten, source told Big Ten “not done expanding,” sources told last week. The next round of conference realignment could include another Pac-12 flagship program leaving for the Big Ten - Oregon is currently talking with the Big Ten to determine if the Ducks are compatible as the next west coast school to join the Midwest-based collegiate conference.
