9个月前Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren在BIG 10、PAC-12和ACC三个联盟决定要一
起合作(当时普遍认为是要一起对抗SEC)时说了下面的干话。
"What we are hoping to achieve is to have three great conferences come
together to BRING SOME STABILITY TO COLLEGE ATHLETICS and to work together
from a scheduling standpoint — not just college football and men's
basketball but all of our Olympic sports," said Big Ten commissioner Kevin
Warren last October. "But even bigger than that, to bring awareness and some
collaboration to issues on social justice, mental health wellness and from an
academic standpoint. We're fortunate to come together, especially during a
summer like we had in college athletics."
9个月后BIG 10直接一刀刺进PAC-12的心脏。
时间拉回2010年联盟大地震时，当时BIG 12为了保住神主牌Texas同意他们设立了自己专
属的Longhorn Network。PAC-10在扩张成12校后分成了南北两区，其中加州四校在LA的
USC和UCLA分在南区，弯区附近的Cal和Stanford则属于北区。同样为了让加州四校不会感
觉到分区后利益受损，联盟同意让加州四校每年的Conf. games都会完整对战到。
12年过后，Texas跟Oklahoma手牵手走向SEC，USC和UCLA自动把LA纳入了BIG 10的中西部

常常有人说美国的大学很商业化，但我自己的经验是大多的教员都还快快乐乐地待在象牙
塔里当学术宅。学校真正完美表现商场上俺虞我诈甚至肮脏污秽的地方就是足球场跟篮球
场。在college football的世界里今天站你隔壁的盟友可能明天就会往你要害捅上一刀。
在college football的世界让利不会有人感激你，当你让的利已经不够他人胃口时也就是
你被一脚踢开的时候。情和义值千金，但在上亿美金前也只是一坨含有氢气和甲烷的气体
。
College football从2字头看到快4字头，开始上班后热情很在逐渐消失中也越来越少推发
文了。看到自己母校所属的百年老店PAC-12被一刀捅进加护病房只好浮出水面唉一下，下
次发文应该会是庆祝Herman Edwards被火吧 XD

: , with a press conference expected in next 24 hours. Perhaps as soon as tonight.
: This is essentially done.
: 看起来木已成舟
: USC & UCLA 联手决定离开各自已经加入百年左右的 Pac 去 B1G 淘金
: 洛杉矶到五大湖区这个飞行距离……
: PAC 12 剩下几队还有能力的也会逃吧
: 还是会拉 SDSU, Fresno State, SJSU 这些 Cal State 进来补位凑12校？
