Really, it’s a bad idea to throw good $ after bad. It’s irresponible, it can go to better uses like charity or scholarships for academics.



Mizzouche wasted like $200M upgrading their stadium and it’s still 1/3 empty on game day, and they lose more than they win.

We gotta up our football thread post counts.

Because football is a...bad...investment?

Popularity of football is what makes these TV king, beyond that all the drivers of price are the same, so even if your just a basketball school, you still want to be in a big time conference because its going to get you the most money.

Not true at all, but OK.

Obviously things can change, but it’s sounding like as of now they are planning on the four joining 2023. Plan on it being a 14 team league with Texas and Oklahoma. Then adding more to join when Texas and Oklahoma leave.

Kind of lines up with Amazon being interested in a 14-16 team Big12. My guess is Big12 doesn’t want to go more than 14(and well why would you unless the PAC wants to jump ship).

Also makes it seem like the GoR is going to be harder for Texas and OU to get out of than everyones assumed. Personally I’ve never understood why people think CBS would be fine with paying Texas and Oklahoma a buttload of money for a year or two when ESPN is taking over their media rights.

Jake,

The Ivy League have no interest in playing big time CFB. They stopped doing so in the 1950s. They won't even participate in the FCS playoffs.

They are if they find a partner to join with.

That is the holdup. Iowa State doesn't bring a new market. Okie Lite isn't a big enough brand or has the academic clout.

They should be.

Now when USF was in the Big East, they blocked UCF from joining.

The tables have dramatically shifted.

The ONLY people that are convinced that ku is going to the B1G are The ku Scoopmeister and his legion of tards.

Ok lol you're a ksu fan right

The Big 12 extended membership invitations Friday to BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston to join the Power Five league that will be losing Oklahoma and Texas to the Southeastern Conference.

Guessing the Big whatever schools will be staying in the big whatever now

I’m not sure that….

BYU, UCF, UC & UH = UT & OU?

That looks like a net loss.

Kinda like MU, CU, NU & TAMU does not equal TCU & WVU.

I’m pretty sure in the grand scheme of things that MU, CU, NU, TAMU, UT & OU >>>>> TCU, WVU, BYU, UCF, UC & UH.

Yes, but unlike you, I fully understand what our position was/is in realignment. We were ****ed 9 ways to Sunday when OUT left. But hey, if you want to close your eyes real hard and dream about getting an imaginary invite and joining the B1G, God bless ya and sweet dreams.
