Agreed.
It'd be interesting to see what additional 15 teams get in if 80 were accepted to the BIG BOY table.
The money is even more obscene for the antitrust attorneys who will handle the litigation against whatever organization is established that locks out the other 45 FBS schools.
Yes, and that is exactly what they were saying today.
What about the SEC and ACC "colluding" against non-P5 teams such as BYU? By announcing that they "won't count" towards their SOS rating? That openly "locks out" teams, too, if the P5 members decide to only schedule each other.
If you remember back when Utah was being shut out of BCS consideration (before they went to the PAC), Orrin Hatch made it very clear Congress would hold hearings on antitrust violations of any system that only allowed a certain number of large programs the opportunity to compete at the highest level.
I would not want to dump Kansas, they bring a lot to the table with their basketball program. Now, getting Kansas to work on improving their football program is another issue, isn't it? Besides, things are going to shake out after all of these lawsuits are settled. All things being considered, it is probably best to stand pat for a while.How about dropping ISU and KU and become The Big 8? There was a conference like this once and it gets rid of a couple of weak sisters that have been mooching off the Big 12. And the remaining 8 teams REALLY can make some money.
In terms of overall program revenue, Kansas pulled in more last year than Florida State, Nebraska or North Carolina. They are worthless at football, but overall, they are not an insignificant program.How about dropping ISU and KU and become The Big 8?

Well, if basketball could make some money - then great. I think bowlsby needs to get into a trade agreement with the ACC, a known basketball conference. We'll trade KU for FSU. I like this idea.

Eh! Since nothing is gonna really happen till the court cases get settled, and since we are just pie in the sky conjecturing, let's just tell the Notre Domers and the BYU Multiple Marriageists that the great Ahuru Mazda who resides in the Burnt Orange Sunset has dictated that they join us in this adventure that we will call the "Manifest Destiny of the Big 12"! We shall sally forth with our compatriots, the Baylor Babtists and the TCU Horney Froggies and we shall defeat the sycophantic minions of the SEC on this, a most sacred field of battle!
Eh! Works for me.
That is the way I do it....why add all the clutter.
Hardly a misnomer and fans bring eyes to TV sets. . .eyes lead to advertising. . .
Oh, they wanted to be in a conference alright - just not the Mountain West. What they want, is to be in one of the big 5 and the Big 12 is the most appealing to them, since they know they have no chance at the PAC..
