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

[Da Lama]

So it’d be 16 teams…

Oklahoma State
Kansas
Kansas St
Baylor
TTU
Houston
BYU
UCF
Cincinnati
Iowa State
West Virginia
TCU
CU
Utah
ASU
UA

Hate to say it, but Baylor is going to make a big play to get into a super conference and they’re likely going to get as much consideration as Oregon and Washington. They win 9/10 games a year in football and compete for Natty’s in hoops.

We're going to end up in a 16 team conference with the leftovers of the Pac-12 and Big 12. And probably being in the eastern division, heading back to Stillwater, Ames, and Lubbock.

This sounds about right.

 

[Highlander]

This whole thing is so strange. CU picked a really bad time to be apathetic and ****ty at football.

I have a hard time mustering any sentiment in any direction. I’m just shaking my head at the CFB football world being turned upside down at the same time our politics are tearing the nation in two.

 

[Hugegroove]

god why do you hate Buff fans so much? haven't we suffered enough? thank you for the miracle in michigan and the national championship and the heisman and the clip and the 5th down and 62-36. but have we not paid enough for those happy days?

please do not relegate us to the b12 or worse. it would be like pounding a case of PBR and hooking up with your now toothless ex.

thank you and sincerely,

every Buff fan over about age 35 (which is most all of us at this point).

And the thought of traveling to Stoolwater Oklahoma for an away game does not sound appealing.

Dear Big 12,


We sincerely regret our decision on…..

Came to post this. Big XII is gonna be good.

I'm a Baylor grad, but that ain't happening. The SEC doesn't need any more Texas schools and the B1G isn't taking a private, small, Non-AAU school in Waco. UW and UO are both AAU. Baylor gets respectable TV numbers but Oregon does better, UW is a foothold in a better market, and UW would probably pull in better numbers if they stopped sucking.

 

[CUAviator]

Puke. But probably better than the alternative of a PAC/MWC conference

Please lord let it be this.

Edit: like most, I misread this.

 

[CUAviator]

ASU, UA, CU, UU, TTU, TCU, KU, KSU, ISU, WV, Cincinnati, UCF, BYU, BU Houston and OSU.

Lots and lots of meh....

Auto rivalry with BU. And probably BYU just ‘cause.

 

[CUAviator]

I’m honestly wondering if this is what those two boosters were referring to when they tweeted about us winning a national championship again. If we end up being part of this, I could definitely see why they might be thinking that.

Or were they implying we’re going DII and will steamroll (for a year or two).

 

[CUAviator]

The Denver Metro area is likely dragging CU into a potential super conference by itself
It is just a market that should be part of it, because as much as other CFB schools are big players, they are in small ****ty places
Problem is we are not built to follow the pathway, unless the Walton's can also buy CU Football and use it as the minor league team

WPS!!

 

[CUAviator]

CU ain't getting an invite if Oregon doesn't.

I want no part of Oregon for the rest of ever. I hate that school.

 

[slider]

Oregon won’t be left out and they will drag Washington with them.

Our only hope is the B1G wants Denver and some more western programs to make it easier on USC and UCLA

I’d take them over Bailer.

If I’m RG, I’m on the phone with ASU. Applying to the B1G with the Phoenix and Denver markets to offer would be a strong hand.

 

[Buffs35]

Hope, I'm wrong, but feels like ...

 

[slider]

Can anyone fill me in on the logistics IF we are to leave for any conference at this point.

Yesterday was the deadline for USC and UCLA to leave and not pay a huge fine, correct? What are the penalties?

Notre Dame is going to **** this up. Mark my words.
Reading the tea leaves I think Big 10 goes to 20. Oregon, Washington and then ND enters with the understanding that Stanford gets the final slot.

 

[LesGrossman]

Judging by the influx of average white people with cankles into the Denver metro, it has become a hotspot for Big 10 alumni which could give us a Rutgers style invite

 

[CUAviator]

I’d actually rather play bailer yearly. Different kind of hate.

No idea, but maybe this is all part of RG’s strategy - sit tight and wait for all that penalty money to roll in when everyone else jumps ship. The Pac4 with Cal, OSU and Wazzu will be flush with penalty money!

 

[CUAviator]

But wouldn’t the announcement have to have been made by 30 June like USC/UCLA?

 

[SINKRATZ]

Why would ND drag Stanford anywhere? They haven’t been in a conference with them…ever and it hasn’t really been an issue. They are similarly not dragging Navy anywhere either.

 

[CUAviator]

Any chance this is the news that Kelli and Jeremy tweeted about? Not saying the Buffs are involved, but the AD could have brought them in to make a pitch to make CU relevant again.

Honestly, I’m thinking this caught them off guard and they’re sitting there like WTAF?

 

[LesGrossman]

I don’t think the June 30 date matters to the Big 10 and they’ll make their decisions when they want to.

The Pac 12 penalties are likely a childlike pittance in relation to the money and power they’re cultivating. They’re more interested in proactive work against SEC/ESPN and will make payments necessary to secure their future

Things Colorado has going for it:

• Location (Center of the country geographically)
• Market (16th and growing)
• Destination (Great roady for fans)
• What am I missing?

Recycling powerhouse

 

[manhattanbuff]

Forgive my ignorance. Does this mean we’ll no longer be the farm club for USC?

No, we’ll still be minor league developmental program.

 

[J.R. Ewing]

I hate to say this, but seeing all those logos on the same page - it feels probably an appropriate group for CU to be in conference with.

If we did pods, it would be:
TX 4
AZ & UT
UCF WV Cinci & Iowa St
KU K St OK St & CU
Yuck.

Easy team to beat.

Easy team to beat.

Plus all the prestige of the school that cured cancer.
