The big 10 will probably still get 5 teams in between 9-11 seeds like they do most years. Some of which are undeserving. But they also upgraded their basketball prowess with their west coast expansion.

The big 12 will also play a little different. It won’t be the bottomless league it has been over the last couple years, and with no round robin there will be some teams that get buried by a tough schedule and teams that benefit from a weak one.

Metrics will tell the truth as it will be much more of an apples to apples comparison when rating these similar sized leagues.
The 20 game league schedule gets the big ten a couple extra teams every year. With 16 teams, we need to be doing this too.

I mean… we have our basketball tourney in Missouri.

Las Vegas sounds like an amazing spot for cyclones to take over for a weekend in early march.
People that have travelled to all of the big conference tourneys are still amazed when they return to KC.

The energy, attendance, and local support make it so special.

Don't badmouth a great thing.

Here is the value of Stanford to society. Stanford creates the technology that popularizes you tube. You tube creates influencers. Influencers create a riot at Union Station in New York and 65 arrested. That is the value of Stanford.

After USCLA left?
AFTER

(This whole thing starts about the 12 min mark of the pod if anyone's curious)

Also, TIFWIW, Stew did give Yormark credit for jumping in and getting a new deal done before the PAC could get one going.

USC alone makes this so foolish.

Yormark can have similar bravado and aggressive salesman characteristics, but he isn't a buffoon and gets results.

Stew did say a big component in this all was Yormarks connections to IMG (media company) played a huge role in this all.

Another great example of the national media’s tilt on this. From the AP: the B1G “will accept Washington and Oregon as new members” while the B12 is “poised to complete its raid on the beleaguered conference.”

Give me a break. :rolleyes:

They hurt you when they beat the **** out of your beloved Hawkeyes, didn't they? Were you up in arms about their band?
