Are Oregon State and Washington State joined in holy matrimony, 'til death do them part? If so, what is the best possible outcome for the duo? — @tailgatestateDuring a news conference Friday , Murthy was asked about OSU and Washington State acting together following the collapse of the Pac-12.That alignment is both natural and enforced. With their difficult geography, land-grant status and limited resources , the schools are cut from the same model and face many of the same challenges.
Whether they rebuild the conference, execute a reverse merger with the Mountain West or join the Mountain West in a traditional expansion move, the Beavers and Cougars will possess a wider path to the CFP when it expands at the end of next season. In our view, a rebuilt Pac-12 or enlarged Mountain West would clearly be the best of the non-power conferences. The Beavers and Cougars won't need 12-1 or 11-2 records; they won't need top-10 or top-12 rankings. They will simply need to be ranked higher than the champion of the MAC, American, C-USA and Sun Belt.
Previously, you cited three options for WSU and OSU, including "rebuild the Pac-12 with teams from the Mountain West." I am curious about the reasons you did not include a rebuild with "the best of the rest" from the MW and American.
The reverse merger between Pac-2 and the Mountain West almost makes too much sense. So what do the universities involved think of it, and what are the obstacles to making it happen? — @pfnnewmedia Rest assured, the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 will extend no favors to the "Pac-2" or any Group of Five league, regardless of its composition.
But the exact figure doesn't much matter. The schools are receiving roughly 50% of the Big Ten's media shares over the six-year contract cycle — approximately $32.5 million annually, or about $200 million in total. The two most important things in realignment have been TV market size and brand strength. How is "brand" strength measured? — @nickbeatty72
