The P12 says “yes, please, thank you, thank you, thank you, praise the Lord, thank you” to 350.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
The P12 is done, every real piece of news is just one more nail in the coffin.
At this point there's slight hope for a B1G invite.
The most likely option is going to be a combined/expanded P12/B12.
Also a possibility is that the SEC grabs the southern schools, the B1G grabs the northern schools and CU is left out in the cold.
Continued indifference to football success from the administration makes the final scenario more likely.
They're in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence? Amazing.
Yeah, anyone who uses the term "2nd world" when referring to economic or social factors is a poorly educated tool.
Yeah, I hate LA and think it is generally a **** hole, but I do know it is not a soviet-bloc country.
Don’t worry guys, leadership has raised threat level to “Concerned”
Now we’re getting somewhere!
Now we’re getting somewhere!
I still maintain that Denver is too big and growing a market to be left out when the dust finally settles.
even in california you can be arrested for stepping on human faces. you might want to avoid that. i agree california is perfect for you. i can recommend some very nice tent cities that you will be able to afford on your income.
The Pac-12 is not a long-term answer.
The Big 12 is not a long-term answer.
The ACC is not a long-term answer.
Unless CU is prepared to de-emphasize football, the only answers are the B1G and SEC.
So the only discussion which really matters in this thread is how we get to one of those conferences and what CU becomes if we don't.

i agree and i also am sure that someday i will in fact will the super lotto.
kidding aside, if markets matter in the new world order, we might be ok. i do think there is no need to jump to the b12 now-- they will take us and thank us, gratefully, for joining them, whether we do it now or later. markets and average viewership does matter to them and we would be a big get for them. whatever happens with the big, the b12 will be there to catch us if we fall. and the sec is just feverish hallucination so yeah... the b12 will take whomever is leftover from the pac and pat themselves on the back for being so smart.
the only meaningful way we can actually improve our chances of landing well is to show some interest in a winning football program again. if not, and we land in the b12 again, well, i would hope we could recruit and compete against the mighty powers like iowa state and kansas.
what a world.
Notre Dame has until this time next year to decide the direction it wants to go. I doubt anything happens until then, so let's say ND decides to go B1G and brings Stanford with them and Oregon and UW also go to get that conference to 20
At that point, the Pac 10 will cease to exist and CU, Utah, ASU, Arizona will likely go Big 12 for the next 4-5 years, as the B1G gets to renegotiate the next contract 7 years from now, meaning more realignment happens.
Question is, what happens to the ACC? Are they really going to remain stuck with their GOR for another 14 years?
CU Short Term = Pac 12
CU Mid Term = Probably Big 12
CU Long Term = B1G/SEC or the leftovers across Big 12/Pac/ACC/top of G5 (if the ACC breaks up) form a tier 2 level that sits above the current G5 but well below the SEC/B1G
to your question, under that hypothetical, the ACC GoR is dead when ND joins the B1G next year.
Further Big Ten expansion could open door for additional revenue, broadcast partners
Though conference realignment has slowed, it could certainly pick back up in short order

Thank you! Knowing California, I will certainly have my pick
Wonder if the SEC/ESPN wants to get shut out of the late night slot, or if they come calling for some west coast schools.
* Lurk mode off. *
I was going to post that game if no one else did. That music was around loooong before the SEC on CBS was a thing.
* Lurk mode re-engaged. *

Except if we really do end up with a B1G/SEC duopoly it could be a case where CU is not actually accretive to either one.
If there are three players (which is where most industries seem to be landing these days), then you're probably right.
But Denver being a primarily a professional sport town, coupled with a university that is administratively disinterested in fielding a competitive football team are two very big strikes against.
And if wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
I would take an invite to the BIG even at 50% distribution for 1 year, then 60, then 70 until we were whole in 5 years, and then see where we are on the second contract
Relegation in college football would be fantastic
They really should. 3 year period, bottom 3 get relegated to the feeder league
this seems like a pretty solid take--- big just paralyzed the pac from action maybe? everyone wants to see who gets the big invite.
i think we should call the sec, RIGHT NOW. i mean we are not a cultural, geographic, or competitive fit in any way so let's do it anyway. be "proactive" as the man says.
i hate everything.
