isu to the big 10 is not going to happen folks, it dilutes the big ten west and iowa hates our guts.
Tell JP to give these guys a call https://www.galaxydigital.io/ if anyone could execute this they could
I don’t understand why you keep posting this over and over. Campbell didn’t choose the Big 12 Conference; he chose the Iowa State Cyclones.
He chose the Iowa State Cyclones and signed a contract stating his terms of pay. If we lose the Big 12 and end up in a G5 conference, we cannot afford that contract anymore and he will leave... He already left a G5 team to go to a P5 team, and I think he'll do the same thing again.
If there’s one thing realignment has taught us, it’s that money is the ultimate trump card and will justify any decision that doesn’t make sense on the surface.
Regardless of what happens, I can’t say I’ll truly be surprised.

This is where I'm at now:
*KU is likely to end up in the B1G or ACC given their basketball prowess and focus.
*The Pac-12 is the most likely league to take four Big 12 schools.
*WVU is not going to the Pac-12.
*Iowa State is in the top 4 options for the Pac-12 if it is compared against KSU/OSU/Tech/TCU/BU. I think we are solidly ahead of K-State and Baylor in the eyeballs we draw, academics (vs. KSU especially), the religious/cultural angle associated with Baylor and to a degree TCU compared to the Pac-12, etc.
So I am optimistic that the worst case scenario here is a Pac-16 with Tech, OSU, and either K-State or TCU depending on what their presidents feel like.

Source: OU, Texas could move to SEC in weeks
Texas and Oklahoma could make their move to the SEC official in a matter of weeks, ESPN has confirmed.
www.espn.com
Per Austin American Statesman, UT and OU could make their move to the SEC official in a matter of weeks. A Big 12 source believed talks between the two schools and the SEC have been ongoing for more than six months, though SEC member Texas A&M had been left out of the discussions, though an SEC source said that it's inaccurate that Texas A&M was left out of the conversations.
It is believed Texas and Oklahoma would likely owe the Big 12 upwards of $76 million apiece to buy out the remainder of their grant of media rights, which runs until 2025. A new agreement with the SEC, however, would likely make that price tag easily affordable for the two powerhouse programs.

Not in the linked report, but I've read other reports that are estimating by adding the two schools, SEC members may be looking at revenue disbursements of more than $80 million per school per year.
he chose a Iowa state in a major conference within his recruiting area. He didn’t choose Iowa state in a lessor conference outside of his recruiting base.
If the PAC 16 is our floor......... I'm okay with that.
OU and UT are good as gone, only thing left to be determined is how much the divorce is going to cost them.
The Big 10's grand plan to counter the move is to try and get some PAC 12 teams USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington to join them. Its a great plan if they can pull it off, but it also has many holes in it. Would the California schools leave a conference they founded to join one 3 and 4 time zones away. By taking them it puts the Big 10 at 18 schools, do they stop there are going on to 20.
To me its going to be the Big 10 tried, the Pac 12 schools say thanks but no thanks and then the Big 10 says, "I guess its KU and ISU."
Did Big 10 fans not get the memo that Norte Dame has signed its TV rights away to the ACC, they value being an independent in football above all else, and are not willing nor able to join the Big 10.

Please stop with the Campbell talk. No one here knows what he’s thinking and you are not giving him the benefit of the doubt. He’s had plenty of opportunity to leave and proved he wants to be here.
If we are in a 14-school American Conference with K-State playing ECU and SMU every week then we wouldn't be able to pay Campbell a fraction of what he would make elsewhere, let alone would he want to be here so that he could get the conference champion's autobid to the Liberty Bowl against a 7-5 SEC team.
At this point, anybody that doesn’t see that doesn’t think very hard. I’m not saying it will happen, in fact I’d say 99.99% chance it doesn’t. But, there is no better scenario at this point.
