Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[legi]

To me this reads as B12 is awesome cause they can pay crappy CO $32M/year while P12 can’t pay $1 to their best teams UO and UW.

Where are you seeing Oregon?

Colorado is back, it’s going to be fun to watch who will be next. And how quickly the dominoes fall. Oregon and Washington have to be concerned, as the BIG doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to get them.

Oddly enough, the two likely losers in this, OSU and WSU, have some of the best fan support in the conference. Really not fair in that way.

Oregon State fans on Twitter now saying losing Colorado isn't a big loss. We have been in your shoes before, say whatever you need to make you feel better.

I’m not going to blame them and Washington State for being ********. We’ve almost been there and it sucks. They deserve some time to *****.

Now Utah? **** them.

Mandel is a tool. I’m glad to see people putting him in his place

This is the Cyclone ready to get kicked in the nuts in me. But I find it odd no one but McMurphy has reported this is a done deal.

When USCLA broke it went from “nothing is done but they’re in discussions to go to the B10” to a confirmed deal in a matter of hours.

I don’t see how any outcome in this situation would be a nut cup moment. We get the same amount until the next tv deal comes up.

They read Cazano and the other hacks. So they are all in that delusional bubble. Cazano, Wilner, Altmore, Mandel all have been telling them everything is great for too long, they actually believe it.

If it were Cal, Stanford, Utah, or ASU I'd believe that. But OSU and WSU are on copium right now and I actually feel for them because we at ISU have been there done that for the last 15 or so years. We know what it's like to be in a conference that's heading for life support and nobody wants to step in and save them.

I just danced to Old Town Road and I don't even like the song or Lil Nas X.

Probably KState or Kansas since Nebraska is gone. Utah if they come, BYU could become a rival.

Pokes too. That's really not that far away.

At the risk of being off topic....

Here is a better version of that song:

You do realize Colorado left because of the grip Texas had on the Big 12 right?

Colorado was looking west before the Big 12 even formed. They were eyeing the Pac-10 back in the 80s.

Been listening to this. He brings up Oregon too.

 

[theshadow]

They were the rumored 12th school when the Big 12 formed in the 90s, however many of the state of Texas politicians had Baylor ties to get them included over BYU to group with the other three Texas schools.

BYU and New Mexico were once rumored to be #13 and #14, with the Big 8 schools and whichever 4 SWC schools were going to make the cut.

Welcome home Buffs!

I wish Bowlsby had been more aggressive as commish, but I give him some credit for fighting back at ESPN and keeping this thing together in the interim.

Every Big 12 commish prior to Yormark had to work against some combination of OU, UT, A&M, and NU, who were all looking out for themselves and not the league.

Yormark got the luxury of only dealing with schools who actually wanted to be here.

Had.

Either way he's been ripping the cover off the ball
