I am sure Iowa State would wear the Black and Whites for U.S.C.!Iowa state vs USC . Same uniforms. That would be nice at Jack Trice
We’d wear the all blacks!Iowa state vs USC . Same uniforms. That would be nice at Jack Trice
What'd I miss? I only read page 1.The B1G started out as this.
Personally, I do like Pac 20.
You’d hope we’d be within these talks as well since we were the team KU was rumored to be connected with.I'd be alright with this but bummed if KU goes B1G and we don't.
I sense that @HFCS's conference-name suggestion is partly ironic — WAC expanded to 16 schools, was unstable, fragmented, unsustainable (in the football context).
Probably about as comical as the Big 12 having 10 teams.I mean, isn't a little comical to keep "Pacific" in the conference name for a something that contain schools in... Iowa and Kansas?

For football, yes. For other sports, I'm sure some people here know that there already is a Big West Conference.The Big West seems like a no brainer
Does anyone remember this, too?There is a Southeastern Conference school in Missouri and Atlantic Coast Conference schools in Indiana and Kentucky. And a Big East school in Nebraska for good measure. Don’t forget the Atlantic-10 school in Missouri too.
Scheduling agreement with SEC would be better.
Not a chance in hell that happens until college football stabilizes. Not until the BIG, the PAC, the ACC and Big 12 know what they're doing or are going to do, and all the current power teams (or more) are taken care of and have relative equity in media contracts. Not likely happening any too soon.Scheduling agreement with SEC would be better.
We could offer an earlier exit to SEC as an incentive.Not a chance in hell that happens until college football stabilizes.

No reason to accept any bones thrown our way or to help sec/espn in any way until that happens. Otherwise just a short term gain over a long term death. Band together and lock 'em out. The sec can't play the schedule they want unless outside teams cooperate. Don't cooperate.
This of course would be done only if Big 12 teams get no power conference invites.We could offer an earlier exit to SEC as an incentive.
Yeah, we definitely don't want to help the SEC unless it gives us a good standing as a power conference.Sure. All options will be on the table. I only offer my largely uneducated opinion on how I feel about sec/espn right now. Don't feel like helping them one bit, unless it truly helps us in the long run.
All of it will get ironed out in time. Just hope we and other teams used to power conferences get more than just a few scraps from sec (BIG, PAC, ACC for that matter too).
