tOSU Twitter pretty much shitting all over this. Here is another tweet I found interesting…

Best research co-operative you say?

That was one of my first thoughts. Guys a total d-bag

If this is truly the case,

The B1G is trying to make the best research cooperative in the world.

then OU/OkSU to the SEC (solves the Oklahoma intrastate political issues), and Texas + one other AAU school to the Big Ten. Also removes the TAMU objection to UT...

Regardless of if this is true (which it could be), this rumor was bound to get started and get traction no matter it’s validity.

You should probably find better sources.

So, a 20 team MEGA conference?

Are they going to play each other or maybe every third game after playing UTEP and New Mexico State?

4 game conference schedule + 8 home games against “please just give us our paycheck and get the game over with” schools

I vaguely remember a cryptic message back in the winter about big things coming. They weren't kidding.

Some how they need to stop football from ******* up all the other sports. At the very least we need a basketball (and other sports) conference that makes regional sense. If this accomplishes just a football breakaway I'm all for it because I would never watch a game.

The NCAA has no power here.

I would love for the NCAA to say they are going to have a football playoff to determine a champion, similar to how they cheapened the NIT tournament in basketball.

 

[cycfan1]

Possibly. So who are the others to get to 20 for SEC? Okie State? Texas Tech? Who else?

They could use the Des Moines media market

Ya, that's not even the only part. This isn't just about AD's. This is Presidents, Regents, Politicians.

Spend some time looking at the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (The Big 10 plus the University of Chicago).

After they posted that they posted tweets about ISU and KU meeting with the Big 10

Anyone thinking OSU/Mich/PSU would bolt for the SEC just needs to take a deep breath and pour themselves an adult beverage. I understand the idea of that is a nice distraction, but seriously, lol.

I think you’re kind of an idiot at this point if you can’t see what’s coming in the grand scheme. You don’t realize how much stronger the SEC is now and how powerful and dominant that conference is now. You might get it down the road though.

 

[awd4cy]

So Ohio State makes close to $55 million per year from the Big 10 if I have that right. What if they stand to make well over double that for joining the SEC mega conference? They for sure turning that down?

They think the Big 10 is essentially too big to fail and OSU will turn down cash and glory for tradition.
