Wide Right and Natty Light crew linked an article regarding the pressure Iowa was getting to include the good guys in the Bee One Gee.

An interesting take that it could have been Iowa who caused the B1G to not offer Missouri and Kansas which could have killed the Big 12.

Who knows

Should Big 12 taken Louisville over West Virginia? Louisville has a pretty dang good sports program right now. Football Sugar Bowl Champs. MBB in Final 4 and probably favorites to win it all. WBB currently beating #1 Baylor by 19 points.

Now add Louisville's baseball team going to the College World Series. Ridiculous sports year for that school.
 
Kansas media deal could be first step to more college realignment - College Football - Andy Staples - SI.com

There will be another wave of realignment. The ACC's agreement to a Grant of Rights for the remainder of its media rights deal with ESPN merely pressed the pause button. This wave of realignment was defined by cable subscriber fees and new markets. What will define the next one? We're about to find out.

I could see this precipitating the long rumored break from the NCAA and all the major conferences work together to sell their rights NFL style.

Break away from the NCAA? No. Create a new NCAA division with schools that can afford to pay all student-athletes full Cost of Attendence? Yes. Create one negotiating entity for TV rights? Yes, likely. Will that entity create 4 16-team superconferences with 4 divisions each to facilitate a 16-team playoff? Yes, likely, although I would rather see 7 10-team conferences and an 8-team playoff with one at-large team.

The NCAA will exist for non revenue sports.

But this was pretty evident as the plan to begin with.

IMO if we cant go back to the old way it would probably make sense to do this:

Each team is part of a group of four, two in each division and they each permarival each other.

Texas Baylor
Tech TCU

OU OSU
KSU KU

ISU WVU
USF UCF


You play your division, 2 permanent rivals, and 2 other teams.

So ISU's schedule would be...

UT, Tech, OU, KSU, USF, UCF, WVU every year with BU/TCU rotating and KU/OSU rotating.

All the Texas teams play each other. WVU and ISU get ample games in Florida. OU & KSU get all their old Big8 foes.

It's not going to be perfect but ISU gets UT, Tech, and OU every year in exchange for seeing KU & OSU less often.

Texas gets:
Tech, OU, ISU, USF, KSU in division
BU & TCU cross rivalry
Rotates either KU or OSU and rotates either WVU or UCF.

Only TCU considers Baylor a rival among the Texas-based schools.

I'm not convinced that Colorado delivers the Denver market to the Pac 12, let alone CSU delivering it to any other league.

Although I would kill for a good reason to drive out to FoCo and drink beer every other fall.

CU pulls Denver wayyy more than CSU would, because of the bandwagon-ability(although that seems to be changing lately with CU's struggles in fb) although Denver is really the Broncos town, everyone else(including other pro sports) is a far away second.

There are too many transplants from other areas of the country rooting for their own teams. CSU has a large alumni base in northern CO(Ft Collins/Boulder), but there really are a ton of transplants here, so I can't see adding them as being a huge boon for the Big 12.

SShocker just dumb. Should have been WVU and UL. TCU would have always been there if another option came.

Yeah, just imagine if we would have somehow let TCU go to the Big East... Then the now-AAC would have a foothold in Texas...

UL and WVU would have been the perfect options to getting the conference to 10. TCU is basically dead weight considering that we already have Tech, Baylor, and that one school that wears orange covering the state of Texas.
 
Should've added FSU. Should've added Clemson. Should've added ND. Should've added Louisville.

But I will not take USF and UCF, that is a joke.

What exactly do you mean by that? Do you have a vote? If the Big 12 decides to go that way, will you no longer be a fan of the conference?

I agree, both are commuter schools and don't add near enough value to existing B12 schools and the networks to justify their additions.
