Official realignment thread - SEC formally invites OU and Texas to join the conference in 2025
Is there a “thumbs up x 1,000,000” button?
Also, still laughing.
Reminds me of the fairly racist old saying in the UK that "football [soccer] is a gentleman's sport played by hooligans, and rugby is a hooligan's sport played by gentlemen."

Baylor fan here. Have always liked CU dating back to 90s when we had some close games when I first started caring. plus some family connections there. Curious about the PAC perspective on potential alliance talk. (Tried to read through this thread… geez some of y’all y’all love soccer.) frankly I think it’s sad. Had the big xii kept everyone and not been mismanaged it could have been the SEC/B1G rival more so than the PAC. I can tell you that in the last couple of years BU has cancelled research projects with LSU and SCarolina only to restart them with PAC schools, and scheduled with Utah and Oregon, in an attempt to position ourselves for realignment that we didn’t think was coming until 2024ish.
Oh boy
**** Baylor
**** Ken Starr
**** Buddy Jones
**** the Southern Baptist Church
Get the **** out of here with your Baylor fan bull****.

Well. Ken Starr is out. Buddy Jones is no longer a regent. We severed our ties to the southern Baptist convention in the late 80s and further distanced ourselves from the BGCT (Baptist General Convention of Texas) in the late 90s.
I have some personal reasons to root for the buffs. But thanks for the warm welcome.
**** you. It makes me feel sick to see those two words put together. They are not compatible. **** Baylor.
I have some personal reasons to hate Baylor. Sometimes I question my own love of college sports (because I acknowledge some bad things happen in most athletic departments), but Baylor went so far over the line with their cover-up(s) and shaming of victims; I'm not sure how any self-respecting fan can continue to support that evil institution.
We won’t forget. We never forget.

I’d probably rather have a scheduling alliance with the B1G than a scheduling alliance/merger with the Big 12 to be honest. Mostly because it would be a chance to play Nebraska more often, but I think it could also be a big moneymaker.
No doubt the Big 12 has some premier basketball programs, but it seems like it’s football driving everything.
Besides what UK said, I’ll just leave this here.

It just reiterates their rankings - “see how good they are? Only SEC teams can beat SEC teams, so their 3-loss record is better than an undefeated Pac-12 team. Point proven.”
Wait, someone makes an outrageous claim about the popularity of soccer in a football thread and I am the one that is supposed to look that up??
Huh, I might be misusing the word “racist”.
You’ve seen what most folks around here think of that school. But in all seriousness, how does Baylor participate in research projects if they don’t believe in science? seriously.

If I had to guess, I'd say that we're just warming up. It's the sort of hate that is reserved for institutions that consistently place sports about decency and then cloak themselves in bull**** religious righteousness. Has the Pepper Hamilton report been released yet?
Here's a thread that might provide a little background:
It’s not outrageous, European soccer ratings have been increasing (in a time where all ratings for US sports have been down during covid). This isn’t outrageous. I don’t even like it watch soccer lol this is just what is happenings
Euro 2020’s Italy-England Final Most Watched Euro Final In U.S. History
Italy's victory over England in the UEFA Euro 2020 final was the most-viewed Euro match in U.S. history with 6.49 million viewers on ESPN.

FYI "hooligan" in the UK is a similar dog whistle to "thug" in the US - if you substitute those words in the quote you'll see how yes, it is a little racist.

Baylor is an example of a completely dogs**t football program deciding the only way it can become competitive is to eliminate rules, accountability, and consequences. They hired a sleazebag coach and let him and his players run amok because winning was more important than human decency. F**k Baylor.
Gawdamit, I can’t believe I did this. You started by saying soccer viewership already surpasses baseball (Previous post a few pages earlier).Jeez that was hardEuro 2020’s Italy-England Final Most Watched Euro Final In U.S. History

Then you linked this article with this quote to prove your point.
” Euro 2020 final Sunday was the most-viewed Euro match in U.S. history with 6.49 million viewers”
I asked for a comparison. YOU didn’t do that, apparently too much work (but wanted me to do it…so I did).
Turns out the LOWEST EVER viewed World Series game in history, Game 2 2020 (in a covid season) - 8.950 M (2020)

Yes, that is a euro league final that the US wasn’t even participating in. Did you read the number in there about the women’s team in the world cup getting almost 15 million viewers a couple of years back? Does that even register to you?Gawdamit, I can’t believe I did this.

World Cup TV Ratings: Other Matches Strong Over the Weekend
Though Netherlands/Mexico was the biggest draw of the weekend, the other Round of 16 matches also performed well. ESPN earned a 3.9 U.S. rating and 6.4

Baseball ratings have been tanking for years and you really don’t want to compare the World Series numbers to random FIFA matches.
World Cup is a completely different animal and not comparable. Until regular season MLS games start consistently passing the other sports ratings, this is a stupid debate.Yes, that is a euro league final that the US wasn’t even participating in. Did you read the number in there about the women’s team in the world cup getting almost 15 million viewers a couple of years back? Does that even register to you?

Not really, did you just ignore the euro cup numbers I posted? Those are amazing numbers for a tournament the US isn’t even involved in. For reference those games were getting better ratings than quite a few college football games on Saturdays. Again that was also during a period of terrible tv ratings for every league in the US.
