Great post.

The media is definitely in bed with the big tin and their self-absorbed impression that "we are here" and "you are there" attitude. Also, just ask who the most important people are and they will tell you.
It is entertaining to see people on this forum to complain about media bias.

What a long strange trip its been since 2011. Glad we still alive to talk about it. Love this new Big12.
The crazy thing is how much talk there was about Memphis, Tulane, etc and we ended up in a great spot.
This new league is going to be a grinder. One that will be tough to bet on, which will make good entertainment.

Curious, who decides whether the new reconstituted PAC/MWC is P5 or G6

To be fair, when Cal is good the “fans” show up. And they did in 2004
I think we're seeing more pro love vs college love in a lot of pro areas, and instead of stadium expansion we'll see more game day amenities.
I feel like the first time I really noticed that was with the Gophers new stadium.

Hey gambling folks. Since I'm not in this arena of thought yet acknowledge its significance on the business side of things, qot a question. Is a league top-to-bottom that's very even (B12), better or worse from a league that's top heavy (SEC/B1G)?

B1G blowing everything up in their quest to outdo SEC. So sad. Total ineptitude by Larry Scott and the PAC 12. And then the continuing with GK. ACC has seen their future. The GOR actually only thing keeping things together.

Big 12 is stronger now. We own the Mountain Time Zone. We have good football and the best basketball got better. We will attract eyeballs. And we have passionate fan bases. Rivalry games are always a draw. We have some great rivalries. We are the Dollar General of Athletic Conferences. Lots of people shop Dollar General.
