Arizona honks on Twitter calling for Big 12 Tournament in Vegas. Um **** you. We saved you from a sinking ship we don't owe you ****.

Hate the idea but the numbers in the league are different now. Don’t be surprised if this happens because there are now a bunch of votes for it.

I can see only 8 votes right now for our current compromise of KC hoops and Dallas football. The schools in UT, AZ, CO, OH, WV, FL have an equal number of votes and will want something for themselves.

How about KC Hoops and Vegas for the Conference Football Championship Game? @ Arlington sucks!

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

I think it only makes sense to move the CCG game around a little...and because there aren't great neutral football field options in the northern B12 cities especially late in the year it makes sense to still have B12 Tourney in KC at least most of the time.

I was just telling my Arizona alum friend today that there's no reason to ever try Texas or Oklahoma again for basketball tournament because it was a huge failure compared to KC. We could try it somewhere else but when it sucks compared to KC, again move it back to KC.

He was saying they absolutely loved having Pac events in neutral Las Vegas but hoops would be 80% AZ fans. I don't mind that because it's not a Big Ten/ACC/SEC region either. I think Vegas would be better than Phoenix or Denver for basketball...but those cities could be good for CCG sometime.

It won't be the worst thing in the world to be a little less Texas-centric, although the CCG should still be there at least sometimes.

At what point the number of teams results in the diminishing returns? If you add a team, that doesn’t equal to let’s say 5 million more tv rights. I can see in the future that small markets team could end up being kicked out of the conference.

Like others said that Oregon State and Washington State have similar profiles like us. We were in their position not so long ago so we just need to keep on improving to ensure that we are not in that position again.

I can see Rutgers and Vandy getting kicked out of B1G. Heck, if Huskers don’t improve, I can see then being kicked out too because no one gives a d.mn about the tradition anymore.

Vanderbilt will never get kicked out of the Big10.

Not gonna lie: The four adds coming in this year to replace OU/UT seemed kinda sad to me at the time.

However, it also seems that without them ISU could have ended up on the outside looking in with the PAC-12 poaching a few schools…so, **** yeah! What a week.
