Pakled posted:The fact that the Big 12 rules allow for co-champions to exist and it wasn't just a plot to try to get two teams in the playoff and/or gently caress over Baylor doesn't change the fact that conferences having co-champions is dumb and should not happen in the twenty-first century. What about the fact that the rules allowed for that and they spent an entire season putting "One True Champion" commercials on my television? Who will pay for that?

Thoguh posted:Oklahoma makes more than every other school not named Texas though. If things were equal they'd take a pay cut. And once you add their tier 3 rights they are on par with any conference they might run to. If they follow through on this they're following the A&M and Nebraska pattern of bitching about situations they helped create and using that as an excuse to bolt. I enjoy how this situation somehow forces you to become a de facto Texas fan. Oh no, it isn't Texas's fault, it's those dirty Aggies and Huskers. To be fair gently caress both of those fan bases but you know what I mean.

Well with Colorado at least I'm sure there was some hope they could go back to some semblance of what they were from 85-2002 or so (or through most of their history really). I mean that's a historically, well not great, but pretty good program.

Xavier Football would be a big get I'm sure, they're undefeated since 1973. If I were the Big 12 and had it to do over again I'd grab Louisville, Cinci, and WVU back when the conference almost died.

Honestly has seemed like the only sane thing to do all along to me. Sure other than maybe BYU there's no one out there to land that will be super profitable in the short term, but it seems like it adds a little protection for the next time Texas decides they want to jump ship or pisses enough schools off that they put the conference in danger again. By waiting they screwed themselves out of a few schools that are better than anything out there now.

kayakyakr posted:The only school that we screwed ourselves out of was Lousiville, and that was because TCU got in the ear of UT's AD. The expansion targets now are the same as they have been since the last round settled. Pitt was around weren't they? Not that they're some great pickup either but I think I'd choose them over some schools that you're going to be looking at if they actually do add four. Louisville's the main one you missed though, true.

I actually didn't consider Colorado State, are they a possibility at all? They fit well enough geographically at least, although like others have said I'd imagine you'd prefer to fill in some space between the rest of the conference and WVU if you're thinking of location.

General Dog posted:The Big 12 as currently constituted has no conference network and is dead the day Texas or OU decides to leave, not before or after. So is your point that everyone should just grab what cash they can before things crumble apart? Because the second it's more profitable for Texas to leave they're gone. At the very least adding 'worthless dogshit' lets you maybe have a 'worthless dogshit' conference after Texas ditches you.

I could see a set of Nebraska people who miss the OU rivalry enough to sort of want to come back, but really that's just another thing Texas hosed up for them so....

Thermos H Christ posted:I'm kind of torn here because I don't want to support a lot of the stuff BYU stands for, but my extreme dislike of BYU makes me want to see my team beat them that much more. Huh, BYU is 4-1 all time against Texas with UT's single win being a 17-16 nailbiter. Not saying that matters much, since they appear to have mostly played when Texas was bad. Interesting though.

Sash! posted:At least those were major conference teams instead of the leftovers from some mid majors. Maryland and the ACC I can buy for the purposes of this argument, the Big East doesn't seem to really count as a major conference at the end of their (football) run. Not that it was full of bad sports schools, WVU and Louisville seem like solid gets for an athletic conference, Rutgers....not so much.

Nystral posted:UCF does have Scott Frost formerly OC of Oregon as the new HC following George O'Leary quitting early in the season. And a new AD who came from University of Buffalo. So maybe they're going to become the Boise State of the South East if they don't make it into a P5. They'll also always have that Fiesta Bowl win over Baylor as well. Aside from being a liar and possible murderer O'Leary was a pretty successful coach for a long time. Remind me what happened there, like, did he just decide he didn't give a poo poo anymore?

I still don't see the SEC inviting Kansas under any circumstances though.
