I keep up with College Football. I had no idea people were ready to run from the Big12. What happened? I think the north division just knows they can’t beat the teams in the southern division. So instead of compete, they just leave. Oh well.
Lemme get this straight:
The Big 12 has 10 teams.
The Big 10 has 12 teams.
The PAC-10 has 11 teams.
Baskin Robbins still has 31 flavors, right?
I keep hearing rumors of Kansas, K-State, and Missouri going to the Big East.....
It’s a mad,mad,mad,mad,mad world in College Football right now.
Selfish jerks.
From an athletic standpoint this move makes little sense. From an academic standpoint it makes no sense at all.
Welcome Big Red! Already looking forward to Michigan State vs. Nebraska.
1) The Big Ten adds Nebraska, Missouri, Syracuse, Rutgers and Connecticut to create the Big 16 conference.
2) The Pac 10 adds the former Big 12 South to create the Pac 16 conference.
3) The WAC and Mountain West may merge back together again to protect itself.
4) The SEC adds Florida State and Miami to create a 14-team conference.
5) The remains of the Big East and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) merge to create new conference.
Shoulda happened years ago.
1088 miles from State College to Lincoln. That makes for a loooong weekend on the bus. Or do college teams usually fly these days?
UT isthe kingmaker and they will stay in the Big 12. Reasons are as follows:
1. Pac 10 moves the center of gravity too far to the west for Texas. They want all the conference championship games played at Jerry’s World.
2. Fox Sports is going to throw a ton of money at the Big 12 this coming April
3. Texas would like to keep all the Texas schools together
4. UT right now is the biggest, richest athletic program in the nation. Control is much more important to them than a few extra million in revenues. May not be even that much difference after the Fox deal.
5. Demographics-Texas has three major markets and they’re growing like wildfire as opposed to some of the Pac 10 and certainly Big 10.
6. Texas doesn’t like being dictated to, they want to continue to rule the roost in the Big 12.
This coming Tuesday the Texas Board of Regents meets. They’ll keep the Texas schools together. Afterwards the Big 12 will look to add probably TCU and someone else not too far down the road. OSU will possibly jump to the North.
All of the above is subject to change after Tuesday. LOL
Might as well. The current Big 12 will cease to exist in 2 years or so.
That cannot last.
If it does, they'll be find themselves traveling around the country like some old time freakish football side show. Maybe the fat lady can play center.
Way to go!
This is absolutely stupid. Nebraska has nothing in common with any of the Big 10 members. As much as I loathe the NCAA, it’s time for them to step in and put their foot down on this kind of thing.
Teams in the north just can’t compete with the teams in the south. Kansas Hoops is the only sport the north controlled.
What about college basketball ?(I am serious)
