I've heard a bit of that theory, that it will become a regional sport and people outside the hot beds will stop caring. An interview with someone from the NE made it seem pretty clear that people up there already don't give a shit about college football.

Pretty much the truth.

College football is dull as hell these days. I used to watch it all day Saturdays. Whoever was on, I'd watch. I'd watch all the pregame shows as well.

I might watch a few minutes here and there now. but it just doesn't interest me any longer.

Jesus Christ shit is bad at Rutgers.

I agree with that. Competitive balance is an issue and the general interesting-ness of college FB across the country seems to be down.

people watch KU play hoops in the Big whateverthe**** still

2 years ago Kansas football blew out B.C. on the road 48-24

The Big Only Conference to Reach the Final Four the Past Three Seasons.... and with three different teams!

So I’ve heard from a few different people that there are a few PAC12 schools interested in joining the Big12. Obviously it would be a few years out from now, and would be based on how media negotiations go for both conferences.

But allegedly Arizona, Arizona St, and Colorado are interested in joining the Big12. The 4th school mentioned with them is Boise St(?), personally I’d prefer Memphis, but surprised Utah wasn’t the 4th.

I’d assume that’s a backup plan for them if the B1G rumors of adding 4-6 of Oregon, USC, and so on. Or who knows, maybe the Big12 ends up with that rumored Amazon deal who’s known to overpay and wants the Big12 at 14-16 teams.

I think this four pod Big12 could be fun.

Arizona
Arizona St
Colorado
BYU

Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma State

Texas Tech
Houston
Baylor
TCU

Cincinnati
Memphis
West Virginia
UCF

But I’m still holding out hope that the B1G expands, and it’s with Iowa State and Kansas.

I had to stop reading here.

Even if (IF!) teams wanted to leave a stable conference for this cluster, there is no f-ing way Colorado is one of them. They couldn't wait to join the P12, I think the term thrown around was "better cultural fit" (west coast over midwest)

The California schools will not want to be split between two conferences and will want to play each other every year if in the same.

That definitely stuck out to me as well, but hearing it from a few different people was interesting. But the PAC was probably the least stable conference up until Texas and OU decided to join the SEC.

Plus you had Boise State and San Diego State today saying they would not join AAC and stay with the Mountain West because they were waiting on a Big 12 or a PAC 12 possible bid.

I like these 4 pods!
