I just don’t see us in a conference with that many bottom feeders. I’m talking about KU, KSU, ISU, TTU, the new AAC teams and even Ore St and Wazzu. That feels like football purgatory. If we don’t add value for the B10 and SEC then what are these teams? 1000x worse. There must be another way.Would you rather be part of the Big12-2-2+2-2+4+6 or whatever the hell the Pac12 is going to be?
Because that is likely what we're going to be stuck with.
Big12 + Pac6 is a pretty solid conference, only missing a true championship contender at the moment.
I don’t have the Post. Not sure what they think.I don't follow any of the local hacks, @DBT when you opened your Sunday Denver Post was there anything about CU having the perfect opportunity to join the MWC to be competitive and rekindle the CSU rivalry?
CU in the SEC? Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
A conference with UU, ASU, UA, OU, UW, TTU, ISU, BU, TCU, and OSU has plenty of oomph while still lacking a top tier program. Add in that for the most part CU, BYU, TTU, KSU, and Cincy would be competitive week in and week out. Leave you with UCF, UH, and KU as your bottom feeders. That isn't too bad.I just don’t see us in a conference with that many bottom feeders. I’m talking about KU, KSU, ISU, TTU, the new AAC teams and even Ore St and Wazzu.

I just don’t buy that anything is sacred. Conference affiliations, rivalry tradition, etc. That’s over. There is no Big 12 is what I’m saying. It only exists until someone says it doesn’t and that could happen at any moment.
We should move the chess board as much as possible vs go with the flow. Wishful thinking but that’s where I’m at.

All I can see us doing on the chess board involves being a knight’s pawn that got stuck behind a rook’s pawn after it killed a bishop and then didn’t need to move again. If someone stupidly happens to move into one of our two kill spots, we have a move. Otherwise, we sit behind the stinky pawn directly in front of us til the game is over or there are so few pieces left we become valuable in what we can be transformed into, but not for being ourself.We should move the chess board as much as possible vs go with the flow.

I'm pretty sure we're playing checkers and had to be reminded that the pieces move diagonally.All I can see us doing on the chess board involves being a knight’s pawn that got stuck behind a rook’s pawn after it killed a bishop and then didn’t need to move again.

Hell yea!
Nah. Going back to the Big 8/SWC merger, how we voted in the Big 12, and both times the Pac-10 called, CU has always chosen to align with UT when possible and OU/aTm to a lesser degree. SEC with them plus Mizzou is a no-brainer easy call for CU.Who here would be shocked if CU got invited to the SEC and our regents, Boulder and everyone in the school threw a fit about how we’re better than them?
Hell yea!
Interesting. Wasn't there a poster here making similar speculations this weekend?Some speculation here that the SEC is rumored to want to take 4 teams from the Pac 12 to establish a presence in all four time zones, with Oregon and Washington as the two main programs, and Denver and Phoenix as the two MTZ markets they covet..
Is The SEC Moving West?
There is educated speculation out there that ESPN and the SEC are seriously looking at adding four former Pac-12 schools to increase their imprint in all four time zones.kslsports.com

If somehow they were able to include ND in that conference and sell the rights to NBC and CBS or something, that would certainly be something.The most forward looking move CU could make is to get together with several CEOs at major programs in the at-risk conferences and strike a deal to create a new conference altogether to rival the new P2.

Utah
Oregon
Washington
Stanford
Cal
Arizona
Arizona State
Baylor
Kansas
TCU
Houston
BYU
Clemson
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Miami
North Carolina
Virginia
Virginia Tech
It would be a clusterf**k to manage but would be a strong 20 team conference that would hold its own against the P2 and would generate serious media dollars.
It would completely f**k a whole bunch of programs, but that’s going to happen eventually anyway.
And no, this absolutely won’t happen.
Yeah that’s what I’ve been saying too. I hate the chummy pity party back in the Pac. Give us hatred, give us entertainmentSeriously though. Isn't that more fun than the "well, we lost but those guys were pretty cool" times of the last 10 years?
Hell yea!

Lose to Stanford? Fans all become more apathetic and don’t care.EXACTLY what @LesGrossman was talking about! HELL 2 THE YEAH!

CU in the SEC? Hahahahahahaha

I'd be lying if I said that one of my top 3 reasons for wanting an SEC invite is "Watching Duff process complicated feelings on the board when Auburn mudholes CU and/or CU sneaks an upset and torpedoes Auburn's SEC championship aspirations."Pfffft..... When this happens yo ass better be rooting for the Buffs when they play that one school..... or else......
