If you're not able to charter your own airliner to land at the nearest long enough runway, you probably shouldn't be FBS any more.

Doesn't apply if the distance is short enough that it would be dumb as hell to fly. I can't imagine that Penn State will fly to play Pitt, I mean.

I believe there was a conscious effort to break the Big 12 and kill the Big East ahead of a shift to a playoff-centered postseason.

Then Texas hosed it all up.


TEXAS! :doom:

Notre Dame is going to play Hockey in the Big Ten starting 2017

What does this mean for foot/basketball? Not much, probably

They should remove the platinum plated tungsten rod from their rear end over something from 200 years ago and just join the conference that like half their rivals live in.

Pretty much ever California city besides Sacramento is mostly built a decent way above sea level. It's Florida that's already done.

I don't want to go all Big 10 here, but this forum has led me to believe that most of Boise State's students are studying TV/VCR Repair.

Vocational training was a big deal there until recently. I've hear Idaho fans call it Ada County Community College for this reason.

Yeah even in the relative short term, those deals can be lucrative as poo poo. The B1G doesn't give a poo poo that nobody in DC or NYC is going to watch BTN, they just need to be available to all those televisions.

The Big Ten moved to DC after college. There's a poo poo load of fans here.

I kept having to play Texas Tech in the Whatever Bowl Hosts the BCS Championship, so now I play them to start the season every year just to knock them out.

You can tell that the Big 12 is a garbage conference because they're treating this like the Bachelor instead of being sane like all the other conferences.

Were a garbage conference only because we didn't make this a reality tv extravaganza where Bowlsby literally hands out roses.

Should use the Dancing with the Stars model so you can have more than one show a week.

In a Real Conference a group of gentlemen discuss things behind closed doors, come out, and improve their conference by inviting Rutgers and Maryland.

At least those were major conference teams instead of the leftovers from some mid majors.

All of those schools are better than Rutgers.

All of them.

Dude, Colorado State has had four three win seasons in the last ten years in a mostly lousy conference and Temple once got kicked out of a conference for being terrible at football, which I'm pretty sure was a unique event.

The power 4 would have to leave the NCAA. Granted, never is a long time, but we're talking decades at least.

I think we're about 85 percent of the way there. They just have to make a case to split FBS in half, which I think that you can.

You don't have to leave the NCAA. Just change the rules in the NCAA to your benefit.

I would like for the old, old Big East to return, but with Penn State and Maryland. But we don't get what we want.

After the AP put out its all time top 100 list, I cobbled a new FBS/IA/Whatever the Hell based on the top 40. Four ten team conferences got me here:

Atlantic
Piedmont
Clemson 
Florida State 
Georgia Tech 
Miami (FL) 
North Carolina 

Allegheny
Penn State 
Pittsburgh 
Virginia Tech 
West Virginia 
Maryland


Who gets to be murdered by FSU in the conference championship? The entire Allegheny division is abuzz!

I saw Bob Bowlsby at the Cotton Bowl, so I yelled at him to expand the Big 12, and specifically to add Cincinnati. If it happens, you can thank me.

I think the Big 12 isn't as badly managed as the Browns, so they'll likely disregard what strange men yell at them.
