Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[HoopsTournament]

In FB I really would like to keep Farmageddon. I'd like to play KU home and away every yr in MBB. Yeah I know this yr we play them once and in Hilton, but I like the KU-ISU series even if KU doesn't consider it a true rivalry.

Wait, we don’t play at AFH this year?

Dallas doesn't work we've been there attendance sucked. I really want the conference tourney site to be determined by fan interest.

If you look at the map, KC is still pretty central. Would Vegas be interested in a bidding war? If the UConn/Gonzaga thing is true, our tournament would be almost as good as the NCAA itself.

I think we can now assume here it is for awhile. Rebrand it as the New Mexico Stranglers Conference.

Ok we’re doing the drunk post earlier than normal but here we go. First off, great name for the new conference. Awesome. Let’s do New Mexico as a basketball only member…?!?! They s*** canned Alford and have little pitino as the coach. They have the Pit. Awesome venue.Always a good crowd….ah man I can’t do it….just like everyone else says….wait for the ACC to implode. Sorry Lobos fans. We just can’t.

I assume all this voting is only done by the R8, as OUT no longer can vote and the others have not joined yet, maybe they ought to vote to extend the Bball at KC contract for 20 years LOL

Edit: oops the official date was July1, not the start of football, sorry.

I want the Big 8 back!

And Stay off my lawn!

 

[HoopsTournament]

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.

All sports but FB

So are Az and the Baylor AD's going to arm wrestle for the Bear Down slogan?

Shh! Don't let Yormarks plan go public!

Old new 4 are in now. We play Cincy and BYU this year.

Sign me up for two b-ball additions. Yes, it’s clunky, but Yormark has earned the privilege to run with that part of his vision.

Oh man, Big12 Basketball Tournament at MSG

 

[HoopsTournament]

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.

People say BB only, but it would be for all sports except FB. They wouldn’t leave non-revenue sports in WCC and Big East. That wouldn’t make any sense.

 

[NWICY]

I don't believe so Home only is KU according to the B12 matrix on Cyclones.com

 

[madguy30]

First time in 100+ years.

 

[StLouisClone]

Who is the 5th?

Baylor

 

[jctisu]

Obviously will NEVER happen but how hilarious would it be if Yormark is such a boss that the new playoff negotiation, the Big Ten tries to squeeze Notre Dame to join a conference or be left out and they say, “FU Big Ten, Commissioner Yormark’s vision is what we like in the Big 12.”

Notre Dame HATES the Big Ten from all accounts.

sorry, I was thinking conference starts with football season, but yeah it started July1.

 

[BigJCy]

Who knows these days but I don't see UCONN leaving the Big East for Basketball Only. Think the only way they leave the Big East is if Big 12 would take all their other sports, which I don't see happening.

“Old New 4” - love it

Why?

 

[cysmiley]

Guess Yormark just put out presser, AU, Utah and ASU are officially in

Oops UA better get conference mates straight
