CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
Which still relegates us to the Not P2 level. Vanderbilt and Northwestern meanwhile are happy to bank closer to $100m for sucking.
Its a shame the P12 didnt have this season last year. But its the fault of the P12 leadership for collectively putting academic utopia bs ahead of a quality football product for a decade. Thats the real story in this mess. They made GKs job a lot harder with that stupidity.
It wouldn’t have mattered. The conference was never making more than $31m/school once SC and UCLA left. Had they had this season 5 years ago, maybe SC and UCLA stay and the P12 can pull a contract more closely aligned with the P2
To be fair, he gets high a lot.
Maybe a better statement might be that Fox and ESPN didn‘t want 5 power leagues. I think they actually would have preferred the B12 die, but the P12 refused to deliver the killing blow over academic arrogance and the B12 was willing to do a deal at a price the networks were willing to pay.
I think that the tv networks didn’t want both the Pac-12 and the Big12 to survive at the $$ level they offered. Big12 accepted first and the Pac-12 died. I don’t think there’s any scenario where both conferences survived.
I think ESPN was surprised by Fox countering its UT-OU to the SEC by poaching the Pac-12 for USC-UCLA.
I think they'd have rather seen a Pac-14 that added UH & TCU - or a Pac-16 which also brought in KU & OSU - instead of the Pac dissolving & the Big 12 surviving along with this wonky ACC expansion.
*kudos
I'm not normally the spelling czar here, but I actually think hokie will appreciate the correction.
Don't forget UCF.
There has been 702 pages of speculation and maybe three posts with any kind of facts. Hence the thread title. Just sayin
When I'm mistaken, I generally appreciate being tactfully corrected. Thanks.
And KSU raises a grubby wheat-stained paw.
They’ll be formidable as long as that coaching staff stays together.

WTF?
The whole conference is meh.
WTF? I don't understand how you could be a fan of college football and be glad that the P12 didn't survive. Even without USC/UCLA it's a hell of a lot more compelling than the truck stop conference we're going to play in starting next year.
Big Jim
WTF?
While the vast majority agree with you, the ship has sailed. The Truck Stop Conference won, people with teeth lost.
I want to be clear- this was the best business decision for CU, but the loss of the Pac12 and the matchups there in is sad for the sport.
I prefer when you’re opaque.
I'm just thrilled that we got out of that conference for a number of reasons and find the Big 12 far more intriguing.
Those west coast schools will still be playing football although I do agree that it will be disappointing if some longtime rivalries go by the wayside. At least we know that many will continue and hopefully they can find a way to continue some others like UW-WSU and Oregon-OSU.
Sadly, they’ll be relegated to CU-CSU status. Maybe not right away but it’s inevitable. UW and Oregon can’t afford that kind of rivalry game in the pursuit of a cfp spot.
Teams will have a little bigger margin of error with the 12 team playoff. But to your point as conferences get bigger some non-conference games will get squeezed out and rivalry games are never a gimme.
Yes. Lets further dillute the regular season for a playoff. When there are 24 teams playing in the playoff. only then will we have a true championship.
Four teams is plenty.

Rumors today that Clemson is leaving ACC and announcement “soon”
In shame?
Is it bad that I’m like, “meh. Doesn’t seem like much.”?
Wait, what??? I’m so confused by this.
