Conference Realignment Discussion

[dssl]

I was thinking about if and when the other BIG12 teams would get picked up by the other leagues.

  Obviously any school that can get an offer from the ACC , BIG10 or PAC10 would accept it. The problem is none of the BIG12  leftovers offer a compelling financial benefit to those leagues so would require the other teams to go on a diet. The exception is maybe the ACC who would like an excuse to renegotiate their contract.

My guess is none of the BIG12 leftovers will get offers until  it is know if any of the other whales are changing conferences. For example if the PAC10 looses USC,UCLA or Oregon then the BIG12 leftovers  would become more appealing as backfillers. I have no clue if or when any of the PC10 or ACC teams would jump ship.

Another thing that could delay things is the BIG12 leftovers may want to slow play things a little hoping for a big payout from TX and OU.

I’m not going to speculate about individual schools, but the legislature is acting like they totally support Texas. I wish I knew the exact portion of the academic budget they fund, but it is tiny enough to give them a little man’s complex. 

The athletic department is self-funding, with a great deal of assistance from our Big Cigars.  The athletic department, for a number of years, has contributed to the academic side of the house. I wonder how many AD’s can say that?

So, as far as I am concerned, the lege. can shut up.  They certainly don’t put up.  Other schools didn’t prepare them to interfere in our business. They have their own kitchen to sweep. 

Hook ‘em!

Would love to see my alma mater get an invite to the ACC with WVU. Would be a great regional rivalry setup for the conference with Cincy, UL, and WVU in the mix... reminiscent of the old Big East days.

I fully expect Iowa State and Kansas to be invited to join the Big 10. KU has hoops value.

I expect West Virginia to go to the ACC.

And I think Tech, Baylor, Okla State and TCU get invited to the Pac 12 – or – will go to the American. K State will go to the American or MAC.

Texas and OU won't have to worry about honoring financial commitments in 2025.

There's your second step. SEC meets Thursday. Should be wrapped up by Thursday night or Friday with a formal invitation.

That would work awesome but I will be surprised if more then a few of those moves happen without other big schools changing conferences first. Time will tell.

I don't see the 8 remaining being quickly added to any conference just for the sake of adding members.   They simply don't add that much value.  Texas and OU will get out of this situation, but it won't be the conference dissolving. 

SEC presidents meet, every Thursday.  The whole thing feels like a predetermined timeline of events.

Are most of you thinking that this was very well choreographed?  Anyone?  Everyone?

They say that timing is everything...

I say it’s done by Friday.  What say you?

Hook ‘em!

There is a great article about the effect a Texas/Oklahoma move to the SEC would have on college baseball.

I can’t do it right now, but I will find the link and post it. 

Today is the day they run my 5 year tests. I must get moving that direction. Keep us informed folks!

Texas will find the road to Omaha steeper to climb. Great for college  baseball overall.

I also think it was very well choreographed production by this duo.  I haven't seen anything this well thought by a duo since:
