Actually, when it comes to the Tigers at least, they're equally grounded in state tradition:

How clever and original. Nice tradition.

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me. LOL.

Guys stop posting in here youre upsetting Teedubya

LMAO

According to this article, Colorado and Utah to the Pac 10 isn't official yet. I'm assuming they'll get the final approval, but if they didn't do you think the Big XII would let them come back?

Big XII Network coming? Why does KU almost never have anyone at these important meetings?

Big 12 ADs discuss starting cable network
Posted on: August 20, 2010 5:22 pmScore: 131
Log-in to rate:Log-in to rate: Log-in to rate: Eight Big 12 athletic directors met with a media rights holder Friday morning to discuss forming their own cable network.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Colorado, Missouri and Kansas State had discussions Learfield Sports, a Plano, Texas-based company that manages the multimedia rights for more than 50 universities nationwide. Texas A&M AD Bill Byrne has talked and tweeted about the meeting publicly. The move is not related to any conference shifting, but is seen as a new revenue stream.

"[People are] interested in creating a cable network for the conference," Byrne told CBSSports.com. "It's something I'm quite interested in ... It's something that our fans are going to be demanding sooner rather than later."

This is the conference's last season as a 12-team league. Nebraska is headed to the Big Ten in 2011. Colorado is leaving for the Pac-10 in either 2011 or 2012. It wasn't immediately clear what Colorado was doing at the meeting if it is soon leaving the league.

Texas' rights are not handled by Learfield. The school has made it clear it wants to develop its own channel or network.

"If they can pull that off, my hat's off to them," Byrne said. "We're just having preliminary discussions right now to gauge the level of interest."

Experts have said the success of a college sports cable network hinge on the number of football and men's basketball games it can broadcast. Fox Sports, ESPN and ABC own those Big 12 rights. Byrne said there could be some flexibility in new negotiations. The Big 12 has been promised upwards of $20 million annually per team in the new round of negotiations which begin next year.

"That's what you have to have to have a successful cable channel," Byrne said. "You have to have football and a handful of men's basketball games."

Learfield played down the meeting.

"It caused a lot of questions [from media]," a spokesman said. "It was nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't anything top secret."

Lew can't be bothered with remembering a meeting.

Too busy winning championships?

Does Learfiel handle KU? Maybe they bfeel since all their basketball games are already nationally broadcast they didn't need to participate?

Talk about taking it in the poot-chute...

I'm not sure if there is any other posters that hate KU more than WilliamTheIrish and Frazod. The hatred runs very deep. It must come from decades of pounding and a lack of championships. I'm sure watching that in ones childhood is enough to leave some emotional scars.

Maybe this was just a goof by Dodd. Colorado AD said they were not at this meeting and it wouldn't make much sense for them to have been. Probably meant Kansas and substituted Colorado.

[I][I\]

Ah yes. Dime store psychology from one CP's most genetically defective posters. I'm in awe of your diagnosis.

The glaring logical inconsistiencies in your 'reasoning' are similar to the way botched frontal lobotomy patients with crisscrossed shoelace scars on their sloped foreheads are capable of thinking. I'll say this in your favor: The way the hamster runs that waterwheel in your calvarium of thought is pretty amazing.

You should probably sit over in the corner with ROYrunn and .... well just ROYrunn. He's more your speed. If anybody wants the opinion of the develpomentally delayed, we'll spit in your general direction. Okay?

Au contraire

I see BWillie is a KU fan this week. Is it basketball season already?

That stadium looks like a dump.

Smells like one too.

It's a temple, not a stadium. And you obviously haven't taken any of the pledges. That comment from you was cynical.

No cussing, cynicism, or drug use. Raise your hand and then sign the sheet.

Is it regular or "low-flow" I wonder?

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HOW YOUR COACH ACTS

You should be ashamed of your avatar. No one can ****in read text that small.

lol, jesus. Learn how to photoshop. It's not that hard.

And yours is the poster child for pedophila.

It's difficult while warming up the tractor.

An Iowa State fan made that picture. fwiw.

Sorry dude. What is the 3rd coverage map supposed to say?

When has Padraig been a pedo?

Oh I didn't realize you were being serious.

Prince Amukamara. How do I make it bigger?

Stop being a dumbass.

I think billay was quoting Saul.

Wow, that's reeruned. Maybe you shouldn't resize it.

Too bad K-state doesn't have a player worth talking about. Heh what are they ranked this year? 90th?

Looks like the old swap meet over on 63rd street.

Way to change the subject.



Nebraska is building a new arena. Nice moves Ace.

No. They try to memorialize Brooks Berringer every year.

No. We acknowledge we suck, and want Old Balls fired immediately.

I wouldn't register there if I were you, you will be PI'd (poster intimidated) immediately due to your low intellect and bad smell.

You should head over there and check it out. Hang around and post some.

Not everyone lives to be a 100 like Bill Snyder.

This'll be the quickest registration in history.

They want to fire Bill Snyder? ROFL


I wouldn't register if I wanted to talk to a bunch of hillbillies i'd drive to Manhattan.

On a serious note Wrangler Field isn't like a high school stadium is it?

Are they going to make it smaller?

ROFL

That KU snuggie is this tits. Thanks for letting me know they existed!

Looks like Colorado is going to stay in the Big XII through 2012. I wonder how the schedules will look with 11 teams?

CU Buffs to remain in Big 12 two years, join Pac-12 in 2012
Colorado also schedules Sept. 24, 2011, game at Ohio State
By Kyle Ringo, Camera Sports Writer
Posted: 08/24/2010 01:52:18 PM MDT


CU's Brian Lockridge (20) eludes Eric Martin (46) during the Buffs' game against Nebraska last November at Folsom Field.
University of Colorado officials are planning to remain in the Big 12 Conference through the 2011-12 school year and join the Pac-12 Conference two years from now as originally announced in June.

"That is our plan and that is what we are working on," athletic director Mike Bohn told the Camera today.

It has been assumed all summer that Colorado would leave the Big 12 a year early and join the Pac-12 in 2011 at the same time Utah is slated to begin competing in the league and coinciding with Nebraska's departure to the Big Ten Conference.

However, CU and Big 12 officials appear to be having trouble reaching an agreement on the financial terms of the school's exit from the league under that scenario. So Colorado officials appear to be content to remain in the Big 12 an extra year. CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano is handling the negotiations with the Big 12.

CU gave the Big 12 two years' notice of its intention to leave the league back in June, meeting the criteria spelled out in Big 12 bylaws. The Buffs would have to forfeit 50 percent of conference distributions for those two years.

Nebraska and Utah made their conference realignment announcements after CU, leading to speculation about speeding up the time line for the Buffs to move by a year. Big 12 bylaws require schools to forfeit 80 percent of conference distributions with just one year notice of an intention to leave.

Big 12 officials have publicly quoted the 80 percent as the total CU will owe almost from the beginning, despite the fact the Buffs gave two years' notice.

Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman has said he doesn't believe departing schools owe the Big 12 any money.

Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda was not immediately available for comment.

The Pac-12 has agreed to help CU with some of the cost to switch leagues, but millions can be saved by simply remaining in the Big 12 an extra year. Colorado officials have estimated they could forfeit between $9 and $14.5 million in conference distributions.

Bohn acknowledged the school is proceeding as if it will be in the Big 12 until 2012 during an interview regarding a nonconference game at Ohio State next season that has been finalized. The Camera was first to report a game against the Buckeyes was in the works.

The Buffs will earn $1.4 million from Ohio State to play in Ohio Stadium on Sept. 24 next season. CU will earn additional revenue for the contest under the Big 12 revenue distribution plan because ESPN already has committed to televise the game nationally.

Bohn said CU also is planning to play 13 regular season games in football in 2011, including a trip to Hawaii to start the season. The NCAA allows any team playing a nonconference game in Hawaii to schedule a 13th game in that season.

Colorado originally scheduled a home game against Fresno State for Sept. 24 next year, but that game has been rescheduled for Oct. 8. Bohn said there are some uncertainties about the 2011 schedule at this point because he is waiting for Big 12 officials to determine a conference schedule for an 11-team league.

"We're waiting for further direction from the Big 12 on how many games will be incorporated into the conference schedule for 2011," Bohn said.

It remains a possibility that a deal could be reached allowing CU to leave the Big 12 in 2011, but a large gap must be closed in the disagreement amount how much the Buffs will have to pay to do so.

Any chance Colorado tries to change their mind only to be shunned by both Pac 10 and Big 12 and relegated to the MWC. That would be kinda funny.

Just have BYU start conference play next year and keep it at 12. Then find another team to join after Colorado leaves.

BYU and Notre Dame would be glorious. I can dream can't I.

An annual Catholic vs. Mormon showdown? Awesome.

Child Molesters vs. Polygamists

LMAO

I've heard there is a little buyer's remorse on CU's part and some backlash from UCLA affiliates petitioning not to ratify CU and Utah. I imagine if CU stays for an 11 team conference season, the Big XII will petition for another Championship game if it doesn't add another team. Adding BYU knowing CU is leaving puts a little pressure to find a suitable replacement right away. Further, the money projections were for a 10 team conference. I imagine those projections might go down a bit if we are at 11 or 12.

BYU and CU would allow the conference to claim the Denver and Salt Lake markets. It would be a serious blow to the PAC-10 if CU backed out, who would either have to find a replacement for CU or drop Utah since 11 teams doesn't get it its championship game. It was reported that CU was at the Big XII TV Network talks. If CU asked to be let back in, would you want them?

I think if you're the Big 12 you try and go after Notre Dame one more time if they haven't already.

Kinda tough to leave CU out in the cold. They did win a freaking national title 20 years ago.

this

CU had been in discussions with the PX since the beginning of the year to change conferences. They wanted to go and that hasn't changed. There isn't any buyer's remorse on their part.

And a former Chancellor of UCLA saying that the PX should not accept either CU or Utah isn't going to fly. Both those schools are getting in to the PX.

CU is thrilled to be joining the Pac X. CU is waiting a year because the penalty for leaving this year is much more $ than the penatly for waiting a year.
Money.

They're waiting 2 years, ****stick. Nice theory, though.

That might be true today. But, this is two years down the line, contract talks will start heating up, I'm jut saying that's a lot of time for a lot of different things to happen.

I'd rather have Notre Dame as well, its just so difficult to judge their true interest level. If I were in charge of the Big XII and could shoot for the moon, this is the way I would do it:

Use the independent revenue streams as a selling point and convince AU, ASU, USC and UCLA they would be better off cutting the dead weight to the north (potential snag is that UCLA is part of the Cal State system so I don't know if that would/could be blocked). Invite Notre Dame and Arkansas (I know they are secure in the SEC, but a super conference with Texas, OU, USC and Notre Dame might be too good to pass on). Divide the super conference into quads:

Eastern: Notre Dame, ISU, MU, Arkansas
Northern: KU, KSU, OU, OSU
Southern: Texas, aTm, T Tech, Baylor
Western: AU, ASU, USC, UCLA

Play your quad annually for a total of 3 games, play all the teams from a rotating quad for 4 more games, and play one "rover" or "rivalry" game to get to 8 conference games a year. The rover game would come from one of the two other quads or, if two schools agree, they can have an annual rivalry game in place of the rover (Tex-OU; USC-ND; KU-MU) Almost all other large rivalries are accounted for in the quads. If the rivalry game would be part of the natural quad rotation, then those teams would get a "rover" game that year. That way you could preserve the high profile rivalry games that are also usually candidates for national TV.

Negotiate with the BCS for an additional at large team on the condition that teams must win their quad to be eligible for a BCS game. So the Super 16 would have between 1 and 4 teams in any given BCS year. Quad champions go to a playoff system with a western site at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona and an eastern site at Arrowhead Stadium in KC. Championship game held in Dallas at Cowboys Stadium. This places an emphasis on winning your quad as well a winning your conference.

This might appeal to the western teams because they would get more exposure in the central and eastern time zones, it would offer incredible matchups, and puts at least one perennial college football power in each quad. While it doesn't guarantee a Tex-OU-ND-USC playoffs, it certainly provides excellent potential.

Anyway, if I could make my dream scenario work, that's what I would want.

Not theory, it's the report out Boulder from a friend of mine from when I lived in colorado.

I knew football when your parents were still peeling potatoes in whatever shithole country they escaped to come running to the US. I don't need a skinny loser like you piping up when I'm talking junior.
Get back to your real doll and leave the sports talk to those that have roots in it.

Except you're the most uninformed "fan" on this board. Actually, I take it back, you're probably on the same level as some female posters here (not all, since certain women on this site are more informed than you). My parents, who have nothing to do with anything, are much smarter and more educated than you, I guarantee you that. Just like always, all you can do is drop some stupid shitty one-liner that has nothing to do with anything. Did you friend forget to mention to you that CU is staying with B12 through 11-12 school year, you ****ing ignoramus? LMAO

Check out the pencil neck who never played a down in his life now thinks he can run game on the computer. You keep trying to fit in kid.

Really, who ****ing cares if Colorado leaves?

So in other words, you are an uninformed, ignorant reerun incapable of backing up anything you say because everything you say is mindbogglingly wrong. KAY, champ.

I'd like them to stay just because it's two easy wins in basketball and 1 in football every year.
