I think some of the teams that got left behind already have bigger problems:

UW Athletics expects a $5.8 million loss in the 2023 financial year, followed by a $7.8 million deficit in FY24.

Why?

At least UCLA will have all of that money because they won’t have wins to be happy about… the dark side of consolidation

Yet the U would trade them in half a second

BYU '80

6/9/23 10:30am

I see maybe 4 wins for them. They’ve not been a consistently good team for

BlooCoog

6/9/23 10:17am

Yep, already behind the 8-ball with consistency. TV matchups will be perceived as great at first…

Tokolosh

6/9/23 10:21am

It's not like they've been winning all that much anyway.

In 2 decades you may see UCLA and Oklahoma/Texas on ESPN 30 for 30

jrifkin48

6/9/23 10:20am

That is the possibility.

Tokolosh

6/9/23 10:22am

Not likely for Texas and OU

WDaddy

UT will always have a huge following whether they win or lose

6/9/23 11:30am

Kind of like us

UCLA is going to be the default 10:30pm Eastern time slot…can’t wait

There is no way tOSU or Mich will play at 10:30pm

correct

I mostly agree...but you never know with the new tv agreement.

You could say the same for Utah in 2011 and BYU in 2023

Florwood

6/9/23 10:26am

Agreed, there was a ramp up needed. But Utah also stayed regional and didn’t add 30k of travel to their season.

Tokolosh

6/9/23 10:37am

BYU has had extended travel during Indy. Downside is overblown especially after

ManicBlue

6/9/23 10:43am

UCLA will win at home and lose on the road.... a lot.

Cougar TD

6/9/23 10:27am

So, you’re admitting that they should stay in the PAC and play soft teams?

BamaCoug

I am saying that the regional conference set up allows for more of the big brands to be propped up for longer…

BamaCoug

6/9/23 11:00am

No you didn’t. It is exactly how BYU built the brand… on WAC fodder (Utah included in the 70s & 80s).

Beating Oregon st, CAL, Stanford, Arizona after USC and UCLA leave for better

Oh but I'm sure the Utes would win the Big 10 with that schedule? Right?

WJCougar

You said it, not me.

Tokolosh

6/9/23 10:39am

Lol...I'm making fun of your fan base.

WJCougar

6/9/23 10:45am

My guess is they play more OOC games in Cali moving forward to limit travel.

6/9/23 10:34am

Against whom? There are only so many MWC teams. They are not all going to go for

TrueBlue67

6/9/23 11:10am

They'll be fine. BYU had that much travel in Independence and only had one

Dangerous

6/9/23 10:35am

This could work out better for the cali schools than most of the big ten.

If they can win 3 away games the have a shot at a bowl game. 5 straight away and 5 straight home. I actually like it.

SolidBlue

6/9/23 10:47am

I wouldn't be surprised if they replace at Hawaii or LSU with a home game.

It's ok, a lot of those losses will happen in the rose bowl and rose bowl

6/9/23 11:19am

They are fairly used to losses. I think they will deal with it fine.

ochobeeguy

6/9/23 11:20am

It's a disadvantage to travel, so does this help or hurt UCLA's wins?

6/9/23 12:28pm

That is a crazy away and then home schedule!
