Sure sounds like we're going to the B12 to me. Ferk.
It isn’t like our time in the Pac-12 has seen CU gain in academic stature.
I don’t think an athletic conference has any bearing on academics.
New regents meeting scheduled. I think we are headed for the big 12BoardDocs® Pro

No no no, let them keep making wild predictions based on their self-serving interpretations of vague statements.If Regents are going to hold a vote on conference alignment, the session will be public. Keep an eye out for a public session to know if there is any real smoke.
17 and counting OSU's bowl run.Your thought process is right on except #3 TCU, OSU and Baylor are better on average than Oregon, UDub and Utah.
If you think CU to the big 12 is a wild prediction, then I have a bridge to sell you. I think it will be proven to be an accurate prediction, unfortunately. And I never said they’d announce any move in that meeting, but clearly there are discussions going on about itNo no no, let them keep making wild predictions based on their self-serving interpretations of vague statements.
Where the f is Oregon going?UO AD yesterday:
Oregon AD Rob Mullens has ‘great confidence we’re going to end in the right place,’ but will it still be in Pac-12?
The Pac-12 faces an uncertain future as its negotiations for a new media deal continue.www.oregonlive.com
Same talk as RG and it sounds like they are gone too. This occurred yesterday.
Sounds like UO & CU are gone.
For anything there's no such thing anymore as an accurate prediction that is more than a guess.If you think CU to the big 12 is a wild prediction, then I have a bridge to sell you. I think it will be proven to be an accurate prediction, unfortunately. And I never said they’d announce any move in that meeting, but clearly there are discussions going on about it
If true I would also believe that the B12 will offer a lower cut until CU adds 2-3 sports if they don't they're stupid.If you think CU to the big 12 is a wild prediction, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Howell...odd choice considering the magnitude of the topic and Howell probably had to google how many Thorpe winners CU has had.SIAP but was there any reason for RG and Howell to meet today? Any media day type thing? Seems like an odd time to randomly meet to discuss realignment.
There is smoke imo
There are certainly valid reasons for people to have issue with Brian’s reporting, but one thing he has always done well is know his CU history.Howell...odd choice considering the magnitude of the topic and Howell probably had to google how many Thorpe winners CU has had.
The only realignment scenario for me is fall into bed with SEC and I do mean "fall" cause there has to be a spot for the Buffs to land.

Where the f is Oregon going?
Oregon to the B12???? you're dreaming in technicolor.Probably B1G after the Four Corners schools land in the B12. Can't rule out UO joining the B12 too but it sounds like B1G for the quackheads.
Michigan is in the eastern time zone. Chicago is Central.That geography argument is used to knock the MT but ignores that all other timezones are not monolithic footprints where every school in the timezone gets to claim the full benefits of it.
Can Miami take credit for the entire east coast? Can Michigan claim viewers Texas will watch them bc they’re in the central timezone? No, that’s not how it works. The Denver DMA is pretty big and we bring that.
Any P2 idea needs time slots in the PT/MT range. USC and UCLA aren’t playing 12 night games. We’re a logical add from a network pov.
RG mentioned realignment in this interview (last min of interview). Doesn’t really say anything other than don’t believe everything, we want to be in P12 but we’ll do what’s best for us. So, there’s some kind of door open with the “but”. At no point did Howell or RG say B12.

I think Howell is there to wash Rick's cars....SIAP but was there any reason for RG and Howell to meet today? Any media day type thing? Seems like an odd time to randomly meet to discuss realignment.

I think RG did a fair amount of a** talking in that interview. He’s also a dumba** for throwing the B12 to chew on. Even if we’ve had talks with other conferences any hint of a wandering eye would be construed as a B12 reference. Should have just kept his mouth shut vs do an interview he clearly didn’t want to do. Net net, we gained nothing other than more b.s.every school is going to do the best it can do for its programs. idealism isn't driving the train although i think that has held back some university presidents a bit in some conferences (acc, pac, big). things are going to move based upon options and money.
if CU's best deal is in the pac, it will stay. if it is not, it will go. same for everyone else. i think the long delays are due to the fact that the pac perceives itself (even without the traitors) to be more valuable than the market indicates. obvious, right?
the interesting question i think next is who has a plan b?
a lot of folks seem to be assuming there are more spots in the big for some pac teams. we don't know that. we don't know who might have a plan b deal already sorted.
post number bajillion-- we still do not know ****.
End of the day, there’s only one person I trust to make decisions about Colorado football and that’s Coach Prime. As RG said in the interview, we’ve sucked at FB for the last decade under his own watch. The decision impacts all sports but there’s only one who understands winning FB and excellence.I think Howell is there to wash Rick's cars....
