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

Welp it at least my calendar is clearing up

Have not read entire thread, but recent BS crapola about how CU would win a national championship has nothing to do with today’s announcement. Looking forward to playing ****ing CSU every year. Mother ****.

Remembering that todays Oregon school could be tomorrows CU with just a few missteps. And vise versa. Success today matters for sure but might not be completely and totally all that important. Cinderella stories attract a lot of eyeballs when they happen (CU? Stanford?)

It could be about, probably is mostly about, the size of the TV markets B1G football will penetrate into.
  • Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco are the top 3 in the P12 footprint. That makes Stanford, Cal, Udub potentially attractive after SC/UCLA
  • Next tier is Phoenix, Denver, Portland, Salt Lake,. Which makes the Arizona Schools, Oregon, CU, And UU a possibility on some level.
  • But who says the other targets are in the P12? Dallas and Houston are very big TV markets too....
  • Given this is Fox overlay some NFL CFB cross selling value too (LA, San Fran, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston)

The Pac 12 is dead. The quicker we get back to the Big 12, the better.

Yep. Pretty much look at where pro leagues are putting franchises to figure out where the B1G and SEC will look.

CU, despite myriad problems and a joke of a football program, checks a lot of boxes for the B1G:

1. Denver market
2. Colorado population (only program that could represent the Front Range super metro)
3. AAU member
4. Nebraska rivalry that draws a big national number

We've got a shot.

USC and UCLA are the top prizes.
Next is Notre Dame (they'd make an AAU concession).
Then there's a big group of Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Cal, Stanford, Arizona, Utah, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, North Carolina, Utah, Arizona State, Duke and Syracuse that would all have an argument and a prayer. Possibly GA Tech if geography isn't an issue (and it doesn't appear to be).

We need to hope the B1G goes to 24.

Time for the P12 to call BYU, SDSU, Boise, and CSU.

North: UW, WSU, UO, OSU, BSU, UU, BYU
South: Cal, Stan, SDSU, UA, ASU, CSU, and CU.

I think that would be salvageable. I don’t think the Big 12’s media deal would be that much better than the P12’s in that case.

If a team from that conference made the playoffs, it would have as much chance of winning as Cincinnati did last year.

How many people, like me, aren't going to watch a product that doesn't involve their school? I don't watch FCS football because it has nothing to do with CU. I won't watch the semi pro super league because I have no interest in semi pro football.

Yep. CFB is unique because people have emotional ties to a school. Nobody wants to watch a less talented and competitive version of the NFL of that tribalism ceases to exist

maybe. that would be an awfully big **** you to conferences already under tv deals. it is one thing to **** over the pac and timing it with the expiration of the deal. it is quite another to poach from your own contracted conference and it may even be something that can be litigated.

big is in the cat bird seat right now and can decide how they want to expand, if at all, now that they have the LA market and usc especially. wilner says don't expect the big is done. i would say don't expect they are not done either. are any of the remaining 17 academically aligned schools (and that doesn't subtract for those already in good tv deals) going to be in better or worse shape in a year from now in their negotiating position to find a new home? and, really, does the big care if the sec were to descend from on high and scoop up say oregon? i don't think they do care. this was a power move to get usc and ucla. everything else is gravy.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it: ESPN merges the two conferences and creates the first super league by merging the SEC and ACC and then creating an A and B league that each gets 4 seats to some kind of a closed playoff. That certainly locks up a lot of the East Coast and major recruiting markets.
