Tulane! Do it, Big 12. You know you want that sweet sweet New Orleans market. I just want to see Tulane continue to fail upward.

Goetta posted:Cincy released all their documents about trying to woo Big 12 presidents.= I know things like this can pay off, but "I know a guy who knows the cousin of the TCU president" is the saddest lobbying effort ever.

Grittybeard posted: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. Why's that? Because ISU is the new Cincy if the Big 12 isn't held together solely by UT hubris?

I want Tulane so bad. Totally cool with the Big 12 dropping the round robin if Tulane gets in.

Memphis is willing to spend half a billion to get into the Big 12, which is really like the saddest way to spend half a billion. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/report-memphis-willing-spend-500-million-upgrades-join-big-12/

I feel like you could make a case that the two Florida schools, Cincy and Memphis have an upside that could lead to good things eventually, but you're totally right that such a conference would live and die by how much money the next alternative can offer Texas/OU.

General Dog posted:I think Texas still thinks it's too highbrow for the SEC. If they move I still think it would be to be the PAC, because they've flirted with it several times, and also where else is the PAC going to expand? PAC would be a good place to land too. I assume the Longhorn Network will be dead once the cable bubble bursts. I mean, we do have espn locked in, but they'll want out so the only hurdle would be the PAC deal getting us as much money.

For a long, long time I thought Dan Patrick was the Dan Patrick from ESPN because before he was Lt. Gov. they used to always mention that he was a radio personality in articles about him.

kayakyakr posted:Tulane's invite was never contingent on the quality of their program. They're being considered entirely because of their academic reputation and their location. A good team won't help or hurt them in any way. You can drink on the street there. ON THE STREET. We're gonna add a bunch of Mormons over that?

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. We've already got Baylor and OU, but I'd always like to see more teams I hate on the schedule. No matter what your record is, no matter where you are in the season, it's pretty easy to get hype for a game when you hate the other team. Look man, if you can't be with the one you hate, hate the one you're with. gently caress Kansas State so hard.

I think I can accept Memphis as a possible 4th vacation destination for the Big 12. So UCF, Memphis, SDSU and Tulane are the ideal additions.

Sab0921 posted:Every so often, the perks of family working in politics transfers over to CFB. Just cocktail party discussions, but (based on people close to the UT/UH side) UH and Cincy to Big XII is essentially a done deal, one UT pick (Houston) and one OU (Cincinnati). UT horse traded support for UH to the Big XII to get UH to back off their opposition to the new UT research campus in Houston. No expansion is still a possibility as well This strikes me as a good deal, since the research campus will be there forever and the Big 12 will fall apart in about 8 years.
