Then you have Boise State potentially coming into the fold. I will say, the potential of them having a big boy schedule and just getting absolutely annihilated year in, year out is delicious, but I am sure there will be (even more) scheduling shenanigans to ensure high rankings.

Conferences were a fuckin' mistake.

Gonna need more than reporting from a Waco radio guy that the Big 12 suddenly decided it wants Boise in the last two weeks.

Oh also, from the SI article:

The solution to this is the same as the solution to the Notre Dame "problem:" tell them to stop huffing their own farts and get with the program.

The solution is that the Rose Bowl is cooler than the playoffs anyway so the Pac 12 and like . . . . the Sunbelt conference . . . they should just leave the SEC to have their own circlejerk and move on.

The Atlantic Sun has been rumored to be interested in adding a bunch of Division II schools and moving them up. North Alabama is already slowly in transition from DII.

Austin Peay has accepted an invitation to join from the OVC. West Georgia and Valdosta State are among the rumored DII schools they want.

And one that the Supreme Court has said states and state schools have absolute authority. The case law is so open and closed that some law clerk somewhere writing their filing to the court won’t even have to dig very hard to find supporting decisions. Even in this current court. Gonna be hard to sue for that buyout money.

What section? I was gonna buy a ticket from a guy I know until I saw the start time.

I feel like this game could go either way. 11 AM vs Tech can't be good for the away team; Austin and Lubbock are that unfortunate distance apart where it's a longass overnight drive from one to the other, but not far enough to justify a plane ticket.

Tech flies, they've been in Austin probably since Thursday. Only the equipment truck drives anywhere. IIRC they had a SWA sponsorship a few years back that provided discounted/free charter flights for the football team, but that may or may not still be true.

Yeah, Texas probably flies. Goin Band busses to in-state games. They generally only fly to out of state bowl games.

In other sports, Tech basketball has access to a nice business jet they use to fly them around. Baseball busses in the state, but charters anything past like 6 hours. Women's sports generally fly coach.

I knew of him when he was in Waco on ESPN Radio from about 2010 onward; not sure if he’s still there or not. I don’t think he’s making things up, but it could be a case where his source (almost certainly someone in Baylor admin) is wish-casting.

Not even especially a Baylor thing, could be just someone within Baylor floating it out because they personally think it’s a good idea, or because they heard heard the rumor from someone else and want to share hot gossip.

The more dubious question is why the Big 12 would invite three teams and then invite more teams like a month later.
