Oregon for the win.
I mean, we said we were too good for the Big 12 too, and you guys have been totally welcoming!
Hearing rumors csewe applied to the P12.
If I knew how to link a twit, I would but Jim Williams saying
SDSU
Rice
csewe
SMU
Tulane
UNLV
Fresno
BSU
Tulsa
Memphis
all throwing darts at the P12-3 conference alignment board
Now, that's what I call trading up.

Sort of.
My understanding of the TV deal is that Fox authorized a pro-rata for additional P5 schools up to 14 total. ESPN authorized the addition for a total of 16 programs.
Fox won't pay for the additional two programs unless they are the right teams.
It's either UW, UO and UA or it's just UA.
dream scenario for this ****ty situation: We get in full share, and two of UA/UO/UW have to take reduced payouts.
That's so ridiculous but it's funny.
All three of those teams are the right teams. This is posturing.
Agreed, as long as the networks are willing to go pro rata for their payouts. The Big 12 going to 16 to match the B1G and SEC is the logical and smart thing to do, especially if the other three additions are two marquee P5 and another one that brings a marquee hoops program.
On that note, some nationally guys talking about the motivation of the Big 12 to make it the premier MBB conference not only being due to increasing MBB revenues, but also because it essentially ties the Big 12 to the B1G and SEC in a general capacity since those two conferences will need the Big 12 for hoops.
Basically, having the elite MBB conference could help keep the Big 12 as part of a P3 system in the future.
Damn man go touch some grass and enjoy the weather, get some of that vitamin D in ya
It's a good "high floor, low ceiling" strategy. Football moves the needle, but like you said they need basketball to survive. The big question is what happens if the B1G and SEC decide to start bringing in some decent hoops? SEC grabs Baylor and Arizona, B1G grabs UConn and Kansas. Then they're in trouble - but it at least lets them survive another day which is more than can be said about the P12. So yay?
Or a roster.
Now show what happened when that 0-5 team won! Warms my heart.
Stanford is going to be really excited to be associated with that group.
Right. That's obviously where the rub lies, but with football controlling revenues, I can't see those two conferences making further expansion decisions solely based on basketball as KU, UCONN, Baylor, and Arizona would be completely dilutive to their current conference members' revenue. There's really no motivation to get rid of the Big 12 entirely, unless they believe that going to 24 teams each would be the most profitable model (which might ultimately be the case), in which case it would still be mostly about football.
They will go Indy as soon as the vote to add any of those gets through. The thought of Stanford welcoming colleagues from Tulsa is hilarious.
It's a conference with a TV deal. Our choice essentially was floating at sea while waiting for the top of the line yacht to show up and save us or being in a run down lifeboat with a bunch of assholes. Where do you think you have a higher chance of survival? It buys us time and a chance to capitalise on the Prime hire and - fingers crossed - parlay that into a spot on the top of the line yacht a few years down the line. Our opinion and personal preference who we are in a conference doesn't matter here, this is kill or be killed.
You have no idea how conflicted you just made @Not Sure right now.
EDIT - ****, I'm a dumbass and thought you wrote Tulane instead of Tulsa.
lol not sure there will be anybody there to review their application completed in crayon.
Don't overthink it, buffarino. **** UU, they should get left behind. We'll still have to deal with them in BYU form in our new conference. **** them all.
At least Rice would be an academic fit. But Tulsa, Memphis?
In reality, Utah isn't getting an invite. I think it's just Arizona. And then if Oregon and UW want to come, they will be accepted as well. Nobody else moves the needle for the B12. And their media partner has indicated they only want one more (total of 14) unless Oregon and UW want to come. Then they are OK going to 16.

Stanford is gone. The writing is on the wall. Cal, ASU, Utah, OSU and WSU are in a really bad spot.
Yup. Back to WAC level for ASU and Utah, Cal, OSU and WSU are going to get demoted big time.
