**Running College Football Updates Thread**

You guys have brought back a lot of memories, those were the days when I was into pro ball.

 Shame it changed so much and not for the better.

You're so right. The NFL lost me about a decade or more ago.

You used to know your team's players well. You saw them develop. You developed a relationship, in some ways. Now, with free agency like it is, as soon as you get to know a player he leaves for another team.

Rivalries suffered as a result. Dallas-Washington, Dallas-Philly used to be some awesome games. Good times.

The college game took advantage and their viewership and following boomed. But now the college game seems to be going the way of the NFL. Free agency/Portal may work for the players and teams, but it isn't so good for the fan.

Will not necessarily show electrical conduction defects in the heart. These can sometimes lead to deadly arrhythmias.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the thing that most commonly affects young athletes. Part of the heart becomes too thick, the part right next to the Aorta (outflow track of the heart to the body) and if you get dehydrated and the heart starts going fast (both things that happen during exercise) that thickened part impairs blood flow to the body and can potentially be deadly. An echocardiogram would almost definitely find this abnormality. Kids from junior high on get a physical exam to listen for the abnormality.

Arrythmias would be the 2nd most common cause. An EKG may find some abnormalities at rest or with exercise but arrythmias can also pretty randomly occur.

Assuming this is true, it's hard to imagine that the PAC is able to hold on to any teams that have other options.  

Seems like the PAC has been delaying anouncing anything hoping for a miracle.  I'm not sure how long they can carry on this charade. 

Get your popcorn ready.

The B1G recently indicated they would not be expanding further.  Assuming this doesn't change things,  then the BIG12 will take whichever additional PAC12 teams they choose. 

RiP PAC.

Pac12 commish was quite dodgy at their media days, saying he didn't want to announce the media deal because he wanted the focus to be on football.

Yet, a week later, he still made no such announcement. Pretty clear there was none to be made at the time of media days.

IF colorado is leaving for 31. million with the big 12, pretty clear that the Pac deal wasn't expected to beat that, if and when it comes.

RiP PAC.

Colorado, Utah, Ariz and Ariz State make good sense for the Big 12. 

I could see the B1G being open to adding Washington and Oregon. They profile well the the B1G and add the west coast and that time zone.

I don't know where that leaves oregon st and washington st. They don't seem to carry enough weight to get into the B1G. The Big 12 could certainly take them on but it really spreads the conference out so broadly to go so - UCF to Washington State!

Cal and Stanford would also seem to have no natural landing spot. Does Cal end up joining a smaller conference? Stanford could potentially go independent, though I am not sure they bring in much money via football rights if not partnered with a conference.

I have heard an offer is on the table for the league, but is substantially less than what the Big 12 got.

Yes as posted above.  12 million less, and less games with national exposure. Presumably even that deal was based on the conference not imploding, which the deal was inevitably going to cause.  Which is obviously why they are delayed the announcement, hoping for a miracle.

I could imagine the B1G taking Oregon and Washington,  but if they don't I would think the BIG12 would gladly take them. 

It would be bad travel wise for the BIG12, but since it would help the prestige and the bottom line I believe they would do it.

48 minutes ago, TFloss32 said:

"They may cease to exist in about 10 years from now"

Odd that he would say ten years. Seems unlikely to me that the PAC will exist as a major conference in 2024.
