Haha I guess USC has no sway in B1G. OSU and UM wanted the Ducks.

I thought usc was going to keep them out. Laughable. Nobody cares what you want. Just sit down and do as you're told.

To the Ducks, on behalf of the Bruins and trojans, I welcome you to the B1G. Just stop beating us up so bad!

Fox and ESPN are running the show. The PAC got lowballed, black balled. Call it what you want. The pac had no shot.

Next is the ACC. Once FSU decided they weren't going to make half what Indiana and Rutgers gets. You know it's only a matter of time.

Neither USC nor UCLA got to vote...so neither had the opportunity to nix this deal...

uh....without USC's influence ucly would still be in the pac 12. Big 10 did not want brunes, and USC forced the brunes on them....stupidly.

I always thought Cal was the #1 rated public university. Just looked up rankings on USNEWS and Ucla and Cal are tied. But for most of recent history, Cal has been considered the the top of the UC system.

Forbes and World Ranking of Universities has Cal # 1. How can ucla be #1. They're a directional school subset of Cal. Just like ucsb. UCirvine

It's all based on research. UCLA may be a tad behind Berkeley (or not) in terms of historical significance, but they're light years ahead of Irvine and UCSB in terms of overall impact, despite belonging to the same system.

UCLA stopped being the "Southern Branch" by the mid-1950s, probably earlier.

I agree. I had no problem with the ducks coming to the B1G.

Even with the 10M dollar per year pimp payment ucla has to make to Daddy Kal, the B1G still pays them more than Ore every year. You're a fan of a team who is a full share member, Vista! I don't think it would be very nice, but I do believe you'd be well within your rights to claim prima nocta over all Duck fans who live in your voting district.
