Texas A&M officially announces Big 12 exit (was: A&M seeking B12 exit)
- Thread starter NashBuff
- Start date
Has Notre Dame ever played on Thanksgiving?
Exactly, assuming the Big12-3 does not fold, Whorns are going to have a conference game that week, and even if they don't why do the Whorns think ND would just go ahead and schedule something with them every year?
Allsome. ****ing attention whores. This ain't about money at all. A&M= the bcs of college football

Baylor fan cracks me up. They are so out of touch with reality.
I agree with the starting over bit. The Michael Corleone move would be the following:
Core: UT/OU/ND/BYU
Second Tier: Tech/OSU/Mizzou/Pitt/GA Tech
That's 10. If they wanted to get to 12, they could add:
Third Tier: Arkansas / Miami
To get to 16 and become the first superconference, they add:
Fourth Tier: Baylor / Air Force Navy Army
It's a brilliant move to position themselves with Notre Dame to create a new superconference. It boxes in the PAC-12 geographically, it boxes in the SEC geographically, and probably forces some type of merger between the ACC and BE.

this guy called Texas the most fertile recruiting ground in the country.....
that could mean a few things.....
Texas recruits **** a lot....
Texas recruits get **** ed a lot
Texas girls get pregnant a lot...
seriously..... if it is the most fertile recruiting ground in the country then... their coaches must suck because they have exactly 1 National Championship in their state since the 1971.

How many does Oklahoma have? Nebraska? Colorado?
It's fertile, just not always for the Texas schools.

Big 12 will lose at least 1 more school in this process, IMO.
Mizz-our-ah will find out how much more in common with their neighbors to the south (Arkansas) than they do to the west (Kansas and Co.)
The original crybaby's for life outside the Big 12 will be "Team #14" to the SEC. Kansas will then retaliate (under the guidance of Bevo) and claim they won't play them anymore.
The Big 12-2 will now be 12-4. The Big East will then start making offers to Kansas and probably Kansas State as a packaged deal.
This will backfire.
The Big 12-4 will then go on a full offensive to pry the football members of the Big East into a new 16-team superconference.
TCU will get f---ed one more time by the former SWC members, Notre Dame will decline an invitation to this conference knowing that it would effectively kill any further "superconference" mania due to lack of options for the Pac-12 to go "super". The SEC could raid the ACC for 2 members (Virginia Tech and NC State?) but the ACC could counter that by offering East Carolina or go after one of the Big East division members, who would then have TCU or BYU as a backup plan with a new divisional alignment.

If ATM goes SEC, Mizzou is probably next and the other two come from the east. Bilateral Symmetry. AD phones all over are busy. It may be near the beginning of establishing another tier in college football. It will be interesting these next few.
Man, I would love to sit in on those negotiations. Talk about two schools that think they are they end-all and that others should bow to their whims...

You can't make this stuff up: "Why should Notre Dame want to play in Texas? 7 mil Catholics... and rising, more Catholics than Florida, North Carolina and Arizona combined!"
Why stop there? Throw in Israel, Saudi Arabia, India, and China! Now you're talking some serious leverage!

NOOOOO!!!! That is a slippery slope that probably leads to Texas in the Pac-12. We need them to hold that crappy conference together with gum and bailing wire if need be. Our best option is that they take NC, NC-State or Florida State as #14.
If (actually, when) A&M goes to the SEC there will at minimum be a 14th team, likely to be followed by #15 and #16. Missouri probably makes more sense because they would get the SEC into St. Louis and KC and the Tigers are itching to leave the Big 12, while NCSU might be a tougher sell with the political pressure they would endure when trying to leave. But I'm sure the SEC would love to get a school in the state of NC since a good amount of talent comes out the state, although they already do pretty well here.
I think it's looking more and more like Tejas would go (or have to go) independent before joining PAC12. I wouldn't mind maybe getting OU and OSU along with a couple others. Not sure how it's all going to play out but as long as the whornes don't go west I will be happy!

I hope it comes crashing down and we have a Big 8 minus the fuskers and missou who will be in the SEC with aTm reunion in the Pac. Although that puts it at 17 so maybe ISU to the Mountain West.
You can do the 4 team pods, OU, OSU, KU, KjSU in East (adding Central time zone)
CU, UU, UA, ASU in the Mountain Pod
U$C, fUCLA, CAL & Stanford in the Pacific Pod
UO, OSU, UW, WSU in the Northwest Pod

Rudy is the .5
I don't know. It may be closer than ever. A&M is going to the SEC (FACT!). They need at least 1 more to join them. Mizzou wants out of the Big 12 in the worst way (they have finally learned their lesson from last year when they bragged about having an invite (they didn't) and have kept their pie hole shut!), and would probably join the European Football League if given the opporunity. I gotta think they are capaigning hard behind the scenes to be part of the move. That would only happen if the SEC went to 16 teams. If they move to 16, then I gotta think Larry Scott makes a run at OU (and 3 others who don't matter). Should be fun to watch.

Presently the SEC plays 4 non-conference games and 8 conference games. 5 games against division opponents, and 3 games against the other division.
A 14 team league means two 7-team divisions. 6 games against your division rivals, + 3 games against the other division. That only leaves 3 non-conference games in a 12 game schedule.
A 16 team league totally ****s scheduling up.

beware the habu
Agreed, it does mess with scheduling. Think of it this way -- with 7 teams in the "other" division, how do you make a logical and fair rotation? With the old big12 there was a 2-team, 2-year rotation based on home and home format. The odd # of teams throws that out the window right away. Any 2 and 3 team (home/home) rotation with 14 teams means that there's one school who won't be on your slate for 12 years (1st time you see them again is year 13).
I don't see any easy way to do this.
