CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Yep. They may no longer be AAU, but that's about the focus of the university leaning more to agricultural technologies than a statement about its academic chops.
I didn't realize until just now that ISU left the AAU. wow -- given their status in the realignment mess, that is shocking to me

Similarly, Syracuse left because AAU didn't align with the university mission. They are about their Journalism and other schools. Didn't want to transform into being about medical, engineering, hard sciences, etc. Great school, though. In fact, so many universities are great if you're looking for a particular program. For instance, if I wanted a career at Hilton or other hospitality my short list in the US would be UNLV, FIU and NAU.
 
Sorry I didn’t post the academic rankings of your two most likely adds. Rankings stop at 190. (SMU is in the same grouping as UNLV)

There's a CA state law or something which limits advanced degree programs at CS system schools to prop up UC system schools. SDSU would vault up in a hurry if that changed and there seemed to be momentum for that to happen.
 
KU and ISU have more in common with the Pac12 than with the meth-trailer 12. Maybe you should join us, instead of the other way round.

Why would either of those schools go backwards? They’d be making $10-12M less in revenue, vacate ESPN & Fox platforms, walk from a commissioner who knows how to navigate this new landscape and develop additional revenue (they’re about to lock in a data deal worth an extra $5-7M per school) to the worst commissioner in CFB, and would vacate TX and FL. If we’re being really honest here, Kansas is one step from the B1G, albeit they’re down the list a ways, but they’re on that list that gets the B1G or even the SEC to 24 schools if thats the future. Coming here is taking another step back for them.

The PAC is dead as we know it. It was a mistake even coming here. The sooner this sh1t deal is put in front of us, the sooner we have the cover to GTFO and get back to a place where sports mean more to more fans, and we get paid more for it. period.

Maybe we should see the deal that's put on the table before assuming so much.

Could be that the money ends up being even. Could favor the Pac if a bet on streaming with ratings/subscription performance escalators pays off. Could be a total dog sh!t deal. We don't know.

They want to play games at home, not in Mexico.
They will have ~ 50-60% of the games on ESPN+ streaming.
99 year GOR is just not worth it.
The New Yorker that is running the league will be gone in <36 months so he was just a one time deal sharp.
$ distributions look like they will be basically the same in either league.
B12 is the Hotel California, once you check in you may never leave.

It’s that + if the Pac-12 signs a media deal (and CU is onboard with it) I vow to upgrade to a paid AB subscription. No deal, poop avatar 4L.

Probably the best hospitality management school in the country. Does that mean they're winning nobel prizes or doing groundbreaking research at UNLV? Not at all. But it absolutely matters to the casino operators.
First you ignore the fact that they invented space and now this? UCF fans are gonna hunt you down and kill you.
 
@Dr Ship unlike others, i do hold a grudge... i am miffed that you intentionally allowed your awful astro turf field to be so slick that our vaunted wishbone offense, clearly superior talent, better coaching, and generally better looking fans had to resort to 5 downs to deal your asses the beating you deserved.

@Fred 2 settle down a bit. we like playing with trolls but don't become boring.

@JayHawk why the hell would you or anyone else think we would be HAPPY about a move to the b12? usc shanked us. we have a rebound with a mattress strapped to her back. that doesn't mean we have to like it. at least you and isu are OG big 8. that means i hate you less than all the ****ing 3rd tier newbies.

everyone wants a piece of us.

The Prime Effect was just the accelerant we needed to get the hater lick spittles doing their thing.

Iowa st was a 5th down game, too? Maybe G Tech did deserve the split.
 
None of us ever had a problem with the Clones.

I think part of the problem a lot of us have is that the Big 8 schools that CU had the most heat with were NU, OU and MU. They're gone, so it doesn't feel like there's much to go back to.

As a look forward, by far the most out-of-state students and alums are from CA. That connection in the Pac-12 transformed CU fundraising and made the facilities project happen. Fwiw, IL is #2 for us and TX is #3.

At the end of the day, we're geographically isolated from both the Pac-12 and Big 12 except by flight. Pac-12 is better for most of those of us who like to travel to games. Also, a much higher percentage of Pac-12 institutions are similar culturally and academically to CU than Big 12 schools, so it's a more natural fit that way.

Given all that, the only way CU leaves for the Big 12 is if the numbers make it impossible to do otherwise.

As far as hopes for a future B1G invite, I think that hinges on whether they go all the way to 24. At 20, CU doesn't make it. At 24, CU probably does considering CO & Denver population, academic fit, the media value of the NU rivalry, and how many B1G students and alums their current members pull from our state & metro. (Of course, even getting in at 24 depends on playing football like a Top 30 all-time program again.)
He is right about one thing for sure. Except for last year, the Pac-12 sucks at football

I can’t decide if this is the best trolling I’ve ever seen or Liver being an idot.

This mob won't say anything and enjoy the moment...it was the Mizzou game and no other.
No Ga. Tech didn't deserve the split the next draft CU had 10 players drafted and Ga Tech had one in the last round. In my book Osborne's vote should serve as a reminder why I and everyone else my age have a deep rooted hatred that was suppose to be replaced by Utah< not even close but they (P12) just kept pimping the Utah game as a replacement.
It's why the 2001 game is worth watching over and over and over.
