    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    And we're in the corpse of what used to be the Big 12. I'm going to root for KU regardless of what happens, but to think our league is in a good position to add ACC or PAC schools when our league has been the most poached is a little overly optimistic. Seems more like wishful thinking.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The brands left from the ACC/PAC will still be stronger than what is in the Big 12. They are all and have been power 5 teams for a long time. The Big 12 is a mish mash of mid majors, leftovers, and religious schools moving their way up. Once the ACC loses teams it will backfill. You don't...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yeah I have a feeling that the Big Ten is going to add ACC schools instead along with the SEC picking off a couple. After that the ACC merges with the PAC and perhaps a couple Big 12 teams to be a national conference.

    Assuming the Big XII implodes, losing the Big XII tournament in KC will be a tragedy

    I could be down for an annual old Big 8 pre conference season tourney in KC to tip off the season. KU vs Mizzou, ISU vs Nebraska, KSU vs Colorado, OSU vs OU.

    No Divisions for Football

    I'm pretty sure this is the wrong move. Guaranteeing that one of your top two teams lose in the final week of the season is going to bite the conference in the butt. If you go with divisions it's likely that neither of the top two teams lose in the final week. The Big 12 almost always chooses...

    ***Official Big 12 Expansion Thread '16***

    The sad thing is that OU and Texas likely can't even see that the best thing for them is the Big 12 Conference. They will not be kings of any new conference they join. They will win less conference championships and play in less championship games. At this point though I really don't care if...

    How stable is Big 12?

    I think the Big 12 should just go BIG and let the SEC and Big Ten know that it's a force to be recon with. I'd offer a near full merger with the Pac 12. Take all but two schools (Utah and Colorado) and go to 20. Our tv partners have to pony up for it and we've solidified P5 membership for all...

    Big 12 performance ...

    KU and Texas were both in the final four for women's volleyball too.

    Baylor is Baylor

    What are you talking about, he shoved him out of the way. It was a clear charge to me. Also, Baylor was gifted two points just a bit ago while making a great save out of bounds under the basket, he clearly stepped his foot out of bounds first before throwing the ball back in but the official...

    Big 12 Championship: WVU vs KU

    I really don't think it's so much that we don't care about the Big 12 tournament as it's that a lot of us don't care about it as much as the regular season title. If you're going to play you might as well win, but only beating 3 of 10 teams in your conference really doesn't mean a whole lot to...

    Phil Forte tears elbow ligaments

    Good lord, he's still in school? It seems like he's been at OSU for a decade.

    BYU still working at getting into B12

    The concern I have with taking BYU is that doing so will potentially make the Big 12 vulnerable again. The reason I think that is that if we take them we'll probably pair them with either Cincinnati, UCF, or Memphis and the Big Ten says great, you didn't take one of our next targets (Uconn)...

    This League is Tough!

    I agree with this. Even though I root for KU I don't have blinders on. This team is pretty bad compared to past KU teams. With them likely to get at least a share of the Big 12 title tells me all I need to know about the league this year. It's a lot of mediocre teams beating up on each...

    Baylor looking good at Boo University early

    Glad to see you're wearing those homer glasses convieniently ignoring the fact that Baylor got the calls in the first half. That out of bounds on Baylor where they got the ball back in the first half gave the bears momentum too but because it went against KU it doesn't count I guess. Baylor...

    Kansas 2015 Big XII Champs

    It always cracks me up how people try to play it off as it isn't a big deal since they tied a few times. It's also a lie that KU lost the only head to head game against those teams. They beat KSU 3 times in the season we tied with them, KU beat UT in the conference tournament evening the...

    Big 12 POY

    He's just looking into his crystal ball and adding the one you're going to get in the Big 12 tourney ;)

    New Bracketology

    I do. They beat us head to head. We never should have been ahead of them in the first place.

    Petition on Big XII Refs

    I know it may come as a shock on this board, but KU does get jobbed on as many calls as it gets favorable ones. In the end, it all averages out.

    WVU is a VERY underrated team

    To be fair some teams do get a lot better throughout the course of a season. I was impressed by them when KU played them.

    The Kansas conference title streak

    We should claim them. We only played those teams once in the regular seasons at their place and then beat them on the neutral floor in the Big 12 tournament finishing all of those seasons with one more Big 12 wins than all of those teams. Had we been like KSU and lost 3 times to the team we...
