Anyone that would argue otherwise is a complete idiot. It does, however, provide some stability (however temporary) to a completely awful situation. It could also be argued that it is somewhat on par with the PAC.

Also, this was pretty funny....

Except Gotlieb is a soreloser prick.

Somewhere between B and y yur brain wasn't functioning here!

You should have said something like, Bring your football money! Anything other than what you typed.

As soon as OU, UT get figured out there will be more shuffling. Do you really think the SEC is done adding teams? This is just the beginning. It's why the Big 12 are going after up and coming schools.

That is going to make for a competitive league from top to bottom once.

B12 screwed up by not adding 4 more, going to 16 teams

Should have went after USF, Boise State, and whomever else they could pry away, Notre Dame, Colorado, Utah, Memphis ( but only basketball purposes ) Coastal Carolina. Anybody that could pull some football revenue and /or a large basketball revenue with a mediocre football market..

Is the Sprint Center allowed to serve caffeinated beverages if there is a BYU game?

I think the SEC is done for a while, until they can get FSU and Clemson to jump ship from the ACC GoR. That deal goes thru 2036.

I think the B1G will absolutely be on the prowl, but I also think they are looking West toward the PAC - that Conf is pretty vulnerable right now.

Zero chance they get ND. If the B1G can't get them, the leftovers of the Big 12 surely won't. Not sure if you meant Colorado State as well because I see zero chance the Colorado would rejoin.

He’s wrong anyway. Kevin Queefman used to pitch this canard all the time, then someone in the KU board analyzed like 3 conf seasons of KU games. Found that like 75% of the free throw disparity happened in the final 2 min of the game when opponents purposefully fouled KU to stop the clock.

Replacing OK and TX with city schools? Yikes.

It's pretty simple. Our rivals (or former rivals) will use anything to point and laugh at us. I suppose we do it to them, as well. It's sad that KU football has fallen this far from the Mangino days but this is what we're reduced to doing. /sigh

All 4 of them are > athletic programs than Mizzouche

I knew/know ND will not do it, but be aggressive, show the country that the B12 is here to stay. I agree that B10 can't do it, why the B12? The only reason is , a ticket to the playoffs! They could, for the most part run thru this conference and have their ticket to the playoffs.

Same for Colorado, PAC 12 is vulnerable now. If the B12 got BYU, Boise State and Utah, they would have closer traveling with KU,KSU for budgeting and a chance to win the B12/err B16 for playoff football. Plus to have have an increased recruiting into some more bigger markets than just the West Coast, Orlando, Miami ( USF ) Houston, etc a greater exposure across the country? It's not far fetched to think about!

Now if Colorado did not jump back, sure a Co.State would help maximize the BYU, Boise St., Utah, western part of states of scheduling schools.

Just grabbing big name schools is not enough, there has to have some logistics involved within traveling in schools budgets.

Aggressive! B12 has to get aggressive to get things rolling or else, the the pickings will be gone and no one left to jump ship as conferences will get get creative with figuring out how to keep schools from jumping ship to other conferences.
