Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Wonder how long Kliavkoff can keep cashing checks?

Guessing he is out of a job in about 2 days

The statement from the PAC 12 conference is funny.

Oregon state has wrestling.

Screw that stalin’ 157 pounder from 2 yrs ago too!

If I was a basketball recruit going to Iowa State and potential trips to nice Winter destinations such as Orlando and Tucson and Phoenix and Houston, that would sound good with me.

Basketball recruits don’t care that much about the weather honestly. It doesn’t hurt but it’s not that important

Would Uconn and Zags, be BB only....or all sports except FB?

I have seen it said both ways but I assume they mean all sports except FB.

I wonder what Uconn would think of not being able to bring their FB team.

Scheer tweet rumor is hoops only.

It’d be the most stacked basketball conf of all time quite easily. NCAA tourney would be where the easy part starts.

I nominate this to become their nickname like we had the Whorn$ before (and I guess for this yr)

I stole that from PAC12 teams Twitter. Apparently a lot of them called them that.

How much do we pay them, and if they are added does it take $ from the other 16? or would the media partners kick in for them?

That is the big question for me.

If every school gave up the .7M of the 31.7M, it would give those 2 schools about 5.5M each.

That would not be a horrible option, but I dont think anyone would be happy giving up more than that. Unless One or both of the media partners agree to kick in what is needed.

I would think UConn and Gonzaga hoops only brings a lot of added value.

The matchups in any other conference would be a joke compared to b12.

Adding UCONN and Gonzaga would be an absolutely bonkers bball conference. That being said, I'm pretty indifferent to it. They just feel like weird fits but if it makes Yormark happy then I'm down

That BB conference would be a bare knuckles brawl every season, but the B12 is already that.
Damn I hope we retain TJ. He's a darn good coach and understands the portal and how to have the sum be greater than the parts.

Finally got back from the golf course and dinner. Congrats everyone we did it

NOW, you must read every post since you left.

 

[NWICY]

It is

Well played Cyched, well played!

Glad the Big 12 hired a war time commissioner.

 

[PickSix]

The newbie fans seem to have a weird obsession with Las Vegas. Who wants to explain to them that the city is outside of our footprint?

I agree, but who pays it....not exactly part of our current deal.

Do the schools have to pay it out of their share until the end of the contract....or will they add and amend our deal? We dont have a separate BB contract currently.

My only fear, how likely is it the Big 12 gets even 12 teams in the tourney at 18 schools? There is a chance a few deserving teams are going to get left out.

Glad the Big 12 hired a war time commissioner.

They'll have a plan ready in another 2 weeks.

Looking at that map I wonder about the future of basketball in KC.

Yeah, KSU, ISU & Kansas best be a very strong advocacy group. How were going to have Houston, Dallas, Cincy, Orlando, Phoenix and Salt Lake as potential sites

 

[Yaz]

I wonder when we start seeing the new neighbors here. This should be interesting.

I honestly feel sick for WSU and OSU fans. This sucks so bad for them. I could care less about Cal and Stanford. They don’t care about athletics. This really sucks for WSU and OSU
