CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

byu is still going to be a real problem for leadership at a lot of the remaining schools.

at the end of the day, we have to sit around and wait and see what Phil Knight decides. If OU stay in the Pac, then I can realistically see the Pac trying to raid the Big 12 otherwise the Big 12 will try and raid the Pac 12
 
Has anyone checked on Bill Walton?

Big 10, Conference of Champions!
 
yes eventually that will be how it will go-- the current system and contracts give them everything they want. when that changes, they will change. we aren't there yet.

they do not have to make that decision now. they are the ****ing fighting irish-- they have a seat at the big kids table no matter what happens.
All about the money, the schools that didn't sit on their thumbs..SEC & B+ ...the proactive ones have secured their future. Kills me that Vandy brings in more money than CU. Just had an awful thought nu fielding a women's beach volleyball team.
Note to self...the P network isn't worth $0.02 the money saved by not subscribing = a few beers.
I wouldn't want to be George trying to figure out how the AD is going to balance it's budget...how many times can the Dead & friends play Folsom?
V V V V There's your season ticket sales.
 
CU is acting quickly, they have formed a committee to explore the utility of forming a subsequent committee to assess whether they should submit an application by 2028.
And you can be effing sure that even if CU decided to play as the only member of the Flatirons Conference there will be an uproar from the academic side of CU that we are smarter than the other members. #We'erreallysmart!
 
Whatever happens next won’t be the last thing to happen. This is going to be a long, drawn out process. It’s a process that has been underway for the last 15 years and might not end for another 15-20 years.
 
I find it enteresting that people on this site thought the PAC was such a great cultural fit years ago and how the Huskers made a mistake want to now get an invite to the BIG.
We did this to ourselves by joining a bunch of schools who have shown they don't really give a flying **** about athletics 10 years ago.

When was the last national championship this conference won in a sport that people actually watch? (Like football or mens basketball)

The new Big 12 TV deal is projected to dole out $52.6 million in 2026. The Pac 12's current TV deal doles about almost $20M less.
 
It would not surprise me if ASU went to the SEC eventually.
The crazy thing to me is that there’s nothing that would surprise me anymore. If you’d asked me if USC and UCLA would give up 100+ years of tradition to join a conference two time zones away, I’d have said you were insane. Yet, here we are. There’s nothing left of what I once recognized as college football. Therefore watching it spiral out of control isn’t really all that upsetting to me.

Thar she blows—erupts the world of “big money”—again. Tradition? Ha.

Rand Corp study estimates that the top 10% took $47 trillion (with a “t”) from the bottom 90% since the 1980’s—comes to about $40,000+ a year from each of us.

CFL is just the latest incarnation of the rich getting richer by controlling/governing the rules of the game. That’s the real tradition at work.

(And I agree with Not Sure. Never would have occurred to me, either.)

big 12 leftovers:

cinn
byu
isu
ku
ksu
osu
baylor
houston
tcu
tech
wvu
ucf

dead pac leftovers:

CU
utah
asu
ua
cal
stan
oregon
osu
uw
wsu

putting this collection together seems improbable at best and even if you add "good" g5 teams, so what?

i hate all this.
Big xii blew their wad too early. Had they not added all of the g5 they could have added the best of the leftover PAC along with Cincy and Houston, and ku can still make it's exit to greener basketball pastures. Take wvu out, and you have a decent conference. Dang this is depressing.

cinn
