Excluding BYU is an example of the PAC's arrogance.
I don’t think so. The Big XII would exclude them if there were ANY better options.

More likely three tiers:Pac12 already gets even worse spots, that’s how.
The Big 12 won’t be the SEC, but get a grip, it’ll be relevant, and likely the 3rd best P5 conference. Soon the 3 in the P3.
I agree, until another OuT occurs and top brands go to the P2.More likely three tiers:
Super Conference 2: SEC and BIG
Power 3: B12, ACC, P12
G6: rest
Why don’t you wait for the outcome to see if the term ”big acc” is even appropriate. you are clearly miserable and want to take as many as you can with you. Noble cause.It will be very interesting how their negotiations go.
everyone keeps saying it will be a low number, I hope they’re right. They will definitely set the market for the big aac in ‘25
i Was including that scenario too. In that case, we may be the clear top conference in the P3, as listed above.I agree, until another OuT occurs and top brands go to the P2.

They have deserved to be in a power conference on every measurable metric for a long time.I don’t think so. The Big XII would exclude them if there were ANY better options.
I would like some real TV consultant to give us apples to apples comparisons of the new Big 12 against the Pac-12 and ACC. We are going to miss out on the top end splashiness but I'd bet that a garden variety Cincinnati vs Oklahoma State game does every bit as good as Arizona-Oregon State or Syracuse-Louisville.
This can’t be serious? Or perhaps you feel like Utah isn’t deserving and the Pac12 just gives out handouts. Because everything the Pac12 gets with Utah, the Big 12 gets even more of with BYU.I don’t think so. The Big XII would exclude them if there were ANY better options.
If the OuT occurs in the ACC or Pac12, it will be tough for them to survive imoi Was including that scenario too. In that case, we may be the clear top conference in the P3, as listed above.

the hostility towards religion fuels their arrogance.I think most conferences don’t jump at private religious schools unless they are out of options. See BYU, TCU, Baylor (forced in by Texas legislature/governor). The exception would be Notre Dame. If ACC breaks BC (and WF for size reasons as well) will have problems too.

Only because most are small with limited alumni and fanbases.I think most conferences don’t jump at private religious schools unless they are out of options.

There are exceptions. ND. BYU.
Give me BYU over Utah any day
There’s a lot of humor in posting we only took a religious institution because of being desperate, then promptly mention a bunch of smaller, less valuable religious schools that have been in the top conferences for nearly all of college athletics. And also mentioning ND, the unicorn of conference realignment, largely built on the fact they’re a religious institution.
Nearly every religious school that plays at the major college level is in a P5. SMU was until they stumbled after the death penalty. Not surprisingly the North and coasts have less, but the Big 10 would sin to get the one within their footprint (ND).
I love the addition. A valuable brand name that will be easy to hate. Perfect.
Not okay. Please defend your statement with sound reasoning or logic, and not contradicting yourself.

Otherwise you’re just ignorantly regurgitating false narratives.
Actually BYU was slated to be the 12th original member. Then Texas govt got involved and Baylor got it.I think that the fact that the pac 12 passed on BYU and so did the Big XII until we had no choice speaks for itself. But, you keep at it, professor.
That’s what we’re talking about- an expanded playoffs. When they expand, the Big 12 will have an auto. Everyone wants the playoffs to expand, and they can’t without getting the votes. I’m not sure why that one poster has such a struggle comprehending that.
Likely more than 1 when/if the ACC and Pac12 lose teams to the BIG/SEC. As you sayid, the new Big 12 is well positioned to be #3. And once the ACC and Pac12 lose teams, it’s going to be a great conference for an emerging program like Iowa St to be in.
Right now there are 10-11 votes. All conferences plus ND get a vote.they already have the votes. There are already 3 conferences to vote for what they want.
If they needed the big 12, it would have been in the alliance to begin with. The fact that it’s not indicates they’re really not worried about needing their vote to check the sec.
They do want espn and Texas and Oklahoma to pay for their attempts to change the entire landscape. So they will pay lip service to wanting to keep the big 12 viable. But none of them will give up their interests to prop up any new entity.
being 3rd in a 2 person race doesn’t really mean that much. If the pac and the acc lose teams to the two super conferences, that doesn’t mean there will be a real place at the table for whatever configuration fills the vacuum.
