Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Anyone who thinks Louisville and cinci was the answer is dreaming. How do we get an invite to the SEC?
Will UT be able to destroy the SEC? I think that's their master plan. Ruin every conference until there is no competition. Imagine being so into money that you have no issue destroying major universities and the economies of those cities just so you can make more money that you can't possibly spend. Makes me sick.
Most likely true. But maybe being at 11 teams when Texas bolts at least gives OU pause.
Iowa state is ****** because Texas needs more PS5s for their locker room. I hate them so much.
This right here. So many lives will be ruined because some big wigs at these universities want an extra $10 million to line their own pockets.
If this happens and there are a lot of articles out there hinting its going too, then the Big 12 is a dead conference. No way the TV revenue will be even close to what ISU is now receiving without OU and UT, no matter how many Houston's, Cincinnati's and the G5 Florida schools the conference adds.
It will be every school for itself, just waiting for a chance to jump to a better league with more money. How long is KU going to stick around?
So AD's are already testing the waters to see what is out there, is the Big 10 going to go to 16, if not how about the PAC 12, one has to think Pollard along with the other 7 AD's are busy right now trying to find a landing spot for their school.

Do you know how much money is brought into ames throughout the year by ISU sports? All the people that come to football\basketball games then go out to various establishments around the city? Restaurants and hotels are often packed on gameday
Not to mention the long-term effects of lowered enrollment.
2 important things that everyone must consider, that are in the B1G byelaws that are requirements for admittance to the conference. These are in the byelaws, they are required, these could be changed but never have, and at this point would mean not only changing the byelaws then inviting or approving someone, It is much more likely they add someone that fits their byelaws.
1. University Must be AAU member to be admitted or invited.
2. Must be in current footprint or in adjacent state. Meaning the state must touch the current state footprint. (UNC would require UVA to join for instance to meet this requirement)
Look at AAU list then look at schools that might be available, then look at the B1G footprint, it is a small list.
If the Big 12 implodes, and the B1G decides to add, ISU is one of the only schools that fit without making concessions.

At the very very least, JP should have some experience with this. We were going to land in the Big East/AAC last time, but at least were not going in blind with a fresh AD again. Our position is strong, and if the other conferences come calling, I'd imagine were near the top of the list.
The list, in case anyone was wondering:
Buffalo
Colorado
Iowa State
Kansas
Mizzou
Pitt
Virginia
Oh come on. At some point you have to live in reality. Campbell isn't sticking around to play the lessor Texas schools, the Kansases, and some regional schools.
There will be high profile Big 10 jobs opening this year. I am fairly confident we can get him to stay if we are in a major conference. I have zero confidence he'd stay otherwise.
Hell, the main question is probably if we could afford Manning on Schelhouse with our lack of money. Michgian probably has enough money to offer them $2 million to be on Campbell's staff. What could we offer, assuming our revenue drops 15-20%?
Having an in with Oregon might help us land in the PAC 12 but man that would suck for travel.
That's not exactly the point I was making, but it is equally good.
My point was more if Campbell were to bolt next year because he didn't sign up to be in a crappy conference, he would likely want to take his guys with him. We would likely want to hire one of them because we have no better options. Could we pay either of them that much more than what a Michigan could under Campbell? Not really.
Maybe we can hire Kempt.
Sure they do, and they would be repeating the same mistake the Big 12 made when aTm, Colorado left. If they wait KU will be in the PAC 12, and they will be left with ISU and who?
Pitt has the same problems with the league that ISU does, already a team in that state, no way they pick a school like Buffalo, none of the other big 12 schools are AAU members, so try and pry UV or UNC from the ACC, go after Georgia Tech?
