I had to laugh at Dennis Dodd's statement yesterday that the B1G did not want to be the ones who were seen to kill the Pac 12.
In practice, the B1G paused to catch its collective breath after taking USC/UCLA, but once Colorado was gone the B1G resumed their predation. At this point they no longer needed to bother wiping their fingerprints off the knife.
The Podcast of Champions made a good point in their podcast yesterday: the Pac 10 and Big 10 had a couple of long-time commissioners (Delaney and Hansen) who between served almost 60 years in their respective positions. If they were still on the job it's unlikely that the raid on USC/UCLA would have happened. Instead we got a couple of short-timers (Kevin Warren forced out after 3 years; George Kliavkoff has been on the job for about 2 years, and seems to have
been woefully out of touch with the member schools.)
