The Big Ten and Pac-12 Conferences are set to announce this afternoon a wide-ranging “collaborative” scheduling alliance that will involve more contests between those leagues’ schools in everything from football to cross country.
Big Ten vs. Pac-12 matches are expected as soon as the 2012-13 seasons in most sports except football. Because football scheduling is done so far in advance, the impact likely won’t be noticed for at least five years.
The plan is touted as way for both conferences to showcase themselves nationally, and to provide higher-value programming for the Big Ten Network and the soon-to-start Pac-12 Network.

Just read elsewhere in the OWH that the B1G and the Pac played 55 straight Rose Bowls until 2001. That’s when the unwanted B1G RED showed up to get bounced by Miami. I laid out $1,260 for two tickets behind the NU bench, but I learned an important lesson. Remember the crowd at the Staples Center booing the team when they were introduced at a Lakers game? We were the hicks from the sticks.
HansJ, it is not hard to imagine that your negativity is unwanted anywhere.
I apologize, my mom always told me to be positive, but I continually failed to do so. I’m a big B1G RED fan until I die.
This could maybe really help in baseball. If the Big 10 could get several games against good competition and in good weather it could help come selection time.

That’s right. Get the Big Red Brand out here in baseball also. There is a huge talent pool out here to recruit and Ersty is still a big name around Socal. My son is playing high school winter practice ball right now. The players get better so quickly when they play all year.
hansj your a dbag!
