Ahhh......now you're on to something

 

[The Far Cyde]

The SEC is the only “power conference” given the above criteria.

That’s not true. They would be the BEST conference. Which is accurate.

 

[cycloneworld]

The only time to get worried is when ISU has to sign a long term grant of rights. If we do that, then we'll know there really is no better option out there.

It will be very interesting to see if BYU, Cinci, UCF, and Houston are interested in joining the B12 for the short term or if a longer term GOR will be required.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

The two-tier P5 vs G5 distinction should fall by the wayside. The gap between the SEC and Pac-12 will be much larger than between the Pac-12 and Big 12 - both financially and on the field.

It is apparent that the SEC is the big dog and the B1G is #2, but they are close enough financially to constitute a tier. The ACC, Pac-12, and Big 12 will be in a tier with wide gulfs on either side. Then the next grouping will likely be the Mountain West and American on roughly equal footing. C-USA, Sun Belt, and the MAC round it out.

 

[Brandon]

Are you going to answer my questions Trent?

So you think this is Trent Condom?

 

[The Far Cyde]

Currently there are 4 power conferences. That’s indisputable. P5 and G5, until now. There are 4 remaining.

So if you are wanting to know if an expanded conference is comparable to the P4, you look at that criteria.

Those AD’s aren’t stupid. Absolutely there will need to be a GOR if we expand.

Something is not indisputable simply because you say it is.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

I imagine the Big 12 GOR will go to around the time the ACC’s runs out, which is 2036, if not shorter than that.

 

[Gonzo]

The power conference designation is going away being the top 6 conference champs have auto invites in the new playoff structure.

There is no new playoff structure yet.

 

[CloneJD]

There is no new playoff structure yet.

Thanks captain obvious.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Thank you for the productive question. I think you have to look at several factors: recruiting rankings, NFL draft picks, CFP appearances, national championships.

And then on top of those very quantifiable measures, there is unfortunately the eye test. If you don’t have big brands, you won’t be viewed as a power conference.

However my brother, before one bloviates on the productification of the quantifying measurements, one must must eliminate their ludicrous nature of how they ecstaticly look upon big brands.

 

[JP4CY]

Big East is a heck of a basketball conference.
How many people care?

I along with many season basketball ticket holders.
No one is saying this is the outcome they want. I'd prefer the 10 team league for a long, long time. It's a perfect setup for football and basketball, perfect. But when you have to look what's the next step without getting a PAC or B1G invite, there's some decent football and basketball that can still happen.

 

[Cyclones1969]

There is no new playoff structure yet.

It’s odd that people think all of the remaining conferences will be willing to give up their own money for a reconstituted big 12 and aac

 

[Cyched]

Could happen. 15 years is a long time…

 

[The Far Cyde]

Something is not indisputable simply because you say it is.

Of course not. There were 5 power conferences, currently there are 4.

If you disagree with that statement, please explain what part and why.

 

[Gonzo]

Thanks captain obvious.

Oh so you were being sarcastical? I underestimated your wit.

 

[JP4CY]

Of course not. There were 5 power conferences, currently there are 4.

If you disagree with that statement, please explain what part and why.

Because OU and TX are playing this year in the B12.
If OU goes 12-1, they're a playoff team.
It's pretty simple.

 

[cyIclSoneU]

Of course not. There were 5 power conferences, currently there are 4.

If you disagree with that statement, please explain what part and why.

You mean “currently” with Texas and Oklahoma playing in the Big 12?

 

[BCClone]

This, ironically, is trolling. And it has been reported.

But my guess would be the mods here have two different sets of rules:

One for the people who tow the line, and stay in their place.

And another for those who have opinions they don’t like.

You ran to the teacher a lot in grade school didn't you?
