Still waiting on that list. I don’t even care include starters for UM and tOSU even though I know they have a handful between them. Transfers don’t count though.
Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?

But it also allows Rutgers to keep those kids themselves. Stay home and play for the state school of NJ and still be able to play in the Big 10
Again UT is not moving to the SEC to try and recruit those states, its more to keep the Texas kids at home playing for them as opposed to going to the SEC schools because that is where the future pros play. Looking at their roster for this year I see one kid from Georgia and 2 from Louisiana. They had 3 from St. Louis and about 5 from California, 1 from Utah, 1 from Colorado and the rest are from Texas.

Im mad at myself for even going down this road. It’s meaningless at this point. This isn’t the previous realignment. This is a war now.
Exactly which would should have made Rutgers better and in turn the Big 10 products. Obviously they had some bad coaching hires but Schiano is cleaning up out there right now. I think that was the general idea it just didn't work from the beginning.
Hard to say…..
honestly, I am not sure why the pac12 seems like a likely landing spot since to me they need another brand name… I guess geographically the remaining B12 teams will be the closest and best options for them. But, the revenue is bad now and not sure if adding the teams that are available will increase per team distributions (hope I am wrong).
no idea why b10 would expand (again hope I am wrong). But would per team revenue increase or even stay the same if they added any of the remaining teams?
to me the conferences that expansion makes sense for are the ones that get the brand names: OU, ND, TX. If two go to one conference that only leaves one “partner” school. In this case it’s ND to the ACC +1 partner…. That would be the most logical landing spot for one of the teams on the outside looking in. For others…. I think they would need the sec deal to fall apart and for OU and Tex to go to different conferences or to the pac where others could go with them…
only other would be b10 poaching a team and needing a partner…. Like adding clemson and needing a partner.

NCAA CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT 2021!
The three scariest words in college football...KANSAS IS INVOLVED!www.google.com
Wisconsin Badgers perspective with nice things to say about a Kansas and ISU add to the Big 10
I've seen similar articles coming from Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State media, all saying that ISU would be a good fit for the B1G. If this all goes down, then I think we are in a good position to jump.
If this happens, it won’t be us or WV. It will be Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.
You are really all over the place, so now its a good thing for Rutgers, I thought you were selling that being getting into Georgia that it would help the Big 10 recruiting there. Now it will also improve the recruiting of Georgia Tech?
The Big Ten has like 10 of the 15 largest alumni bases in the country. Wealthy ones at that. They have plenty of resources. Dont confuse that with success and name brand on the football field.
Yeah being in the Big 10 is good for Rutgers football recruiting. It's also better for Big 10 schools who recruit in New Jersey. Not sure what the overall advantage would be in terms of instate recruiting for say Georgia Tech, but it would definitely make it easier for Big 10 schools to recruit in Georgia if Tech was in the Big 10.
I can’t keep up with all of these threads. Does anyone actually know any inside info on how realignment will shake out, or is it all wild speculation still?
I look at it like this, its an opportunity for a redo for their conference. They fired their comish last year, they have the only network fully owned by the league without a partner such as Fox or Espn. Maybe they are thinking if we can pull this off, we have basically all the football from the Missouri River to the Pacific, not counting Nebraska of course.
Rebadge the league, gives them teams in that 11:00 window instead of forcing schools on the West Coast to start a game at 9:00 local time, and try to move up from number 5 P5 league to maybe number 2 or 3.

Come on salty, read all the threads like everyone else lol
If the Pac added TT, OSU, KSU and ISU, they would add 4 major state universities in 4 states in the Central Time Zone and stretch from the Pacific Ocean to the Mississippi River, That's a lot of TVs and decent TV markets without too much wear and tear travel with the 4 new teams, Colorado, Utah and the Arizona Schools in the Eastern Division and the old Pac-8 in the Western Division. It makes a lot of sense actually.
THIS! The idea that the B1G would wait until the equivalent of UT and OU are looking for a new home would be completely idiotic! That may never happen again ever.
"The Athletic is reporting that the AAC is expected to "act as an aggressor" and attempt to pick up remaining Big 12 teams, "perhaps as a group."

Thank you for that, I think. I agree with your assessment but of course am not thankful for the way college football or college athletics is going.
I guess it is too much to ask for the government to step in, if they haven't up to now. But this feels much different to me. They need to now. The NIL is probably a good place to start. Did everyone see this as it seems to be turning in to? Start with the NIL and place some limits so the bigger schools can't get an unfair advantage. Giving financial reward to the athletes is fine but the way this is looking is too much and an immediate red light.
Apart from that, someone needs to step in to fix what is left before it is all too late. I guess we have to wait a little to see how crazy it gets. Already the TX, OK, And all the other State legislators from the Big 12 step children will be on alert and may soon be working overtime.
