DMN: How will SMU, TCU and the Big 12 be affected by UCLA and USC’s stunning move to Big Ten?

How will SMU, TCU and the Big 12 be affected by UCLA and USC’s stunning move to Big Ten?​

Kevin Sherrington, The Dallas Morning News

Correction: In a previous column, yours truly wrote that the Big 12′s loss of Texas and Oklahoma was worse than the Pac-12′s subtraction of USC and UCLA, if only because the Pac-12 still had Oregon and Washington. It appears I may have spoken too soon. About Oregon and Washington, that is. In my defense, these things change by the hour.

From all appearances, the Big Ten isn’t done poaching. A clued-in report from the West Coast contends the expansion may include not only Oregon and Washington, but Stanford, Cal, Colorado and Utah, too, bringing the Big Ten to a grand total of 22 schools.

Twenty-two!

That’s not a superconference, that’s a candidate for NATO. Vladimir Putin will be sure to object, not to mention George Kliavkoff, whose league has been pulled out from under him only a year into the job.

so why is tcu listed separately from the big 12 in that headline?

 

[ShreveFrog]

Would be disappointing if Utah and Colo went to Big 10.

 

[TopFrog]

Screwed we will be.

It would be amazing if Utah or Colorado went to the Big 10.

 

[Big Frog II]

I don't think the Big 10 looks at Colorado and Utah. Stanford might get a look to appease ND. Oregon and Washington probably are locks.

Pick up the 4 Rocky Mountain teams and 4 from the ACC ... developing the 3rd best league(20 teams) that can't go unnoticed.

 

[Dtx_Frog_Fan]

To think anyone at the DMN knows anything about anything is dilusional? Once they receive their marching orders, they’ll let us know.

keith sherriton hates tcu. Always has.

All the PAC & Big 12 AAUs will get looks—Washington, Oregon, Cal, Stanford, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Kansas. But among those it seems Washington and Oregon would bring the most value and have the best shot.

keith sherriton hates tcu. Always has.

He likely does not write his own headlines, that’s generally not how it works, or used to.

More likely just delineating the DFW teams or left out the words the rest of…or the headline writers hates TCU.
