They are their problem now but I will say this, Texas has killed or almost killed 3 conferences now with their cry baby egos. They are the "largest" draw or something like that so I expect the cry baby shenanigans to continue and I love it 😂

Texas is done....toast....an afterthought to CFB. The political situation in Austin controls the University. They will be lucky to go .500 each year over here in our world.

They are lucky to hit that in the Big XII anymore outside of that one fluke ass season where they were back for the peach bowl & then immediately disappeared again.

I wish the absolute worst for Texas. OU doesn't bug me because they knew if UT was going, we were dying. Now there's a chance at a home run ball here and I'm putting all of my hopes & dreams into a 0.01% chance of actually happening 😂😂😂 I am a Cubs, Maple Leafs, Panthers, Thunder & Pokes fan afterall. Only one has delivered for me 😂😂😂

So is Minnesota joining the Big 12?

Funny, inside the Big 12 podcast covered this a little. I can see the marketing ploy that the XII commissioner is using - as the western most B1G school, you will bear the brunt of the travel to the coast to play USC and UCLA. As someone whose team decided a decade ago to do something similar, I can say that argument is only going to work if the money is comparable. No way ANYONE moves from the B1G without having a media payout close to the B1Gs. I think it is more likely that the B1G (Fox) takes a couple more from the PAC, and then the XII (ESPN) grab the valuable assets remaining for the 4th timeslot (PAC after dark). That being said "more likely" is still "not likely". I think with the way the B1G contracts worked out, it is most likely the PAC and XII are going to be making slightly more than the ACC for the next 6-7 years - NO WHERE near the B1G and SEC.

There's going to be more consolidation. Oklahoma State should be on the inside. They've earned it

They have, but I still doubt we are going down to 2 superconferences. The ACC, PAC, and XII need to figure out how to bridge the $ gap before the next media contract (sometime around 2028). I think they all can survive if they are getting about 40-50 mil per school in the next deal - but not much beyond that. Maybe a regional shakeup, where the three conferences join up and split the schools by region - bringing back the regional rivalries lost over the last 15 years.
 
So the current plays are wide open. The Big XII is awaiting the NBC Tier-1 move with both FOX & CBS looking to fill the Tier-2 slot & ESPN to fill the Tier-3 with ESPN+

The ONLY massive Tier-2 pitch ESPN can make is in the proposed revamping of the Longhorn Network to the Big XII Network. ESPN is really trying to push a west coast expansion to
which I rarely agree with outside of CU, Zona, SDSU & Utah.

I have it on good authority that Yormark has also sent feelers to VT, UNC, NC State, Clemson, FSU & Miami as well.

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Currently we are tits up on any real idea. I'm almost of the idea that the Pac-10 is on borrowed time. I'm realistically thinking the B1G runs after Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Colorado & Arizona to shore up the west just a bit more. I think the ACC however is ripe for the picking too soon for the SEC.

you'd take SDSU over ASU ?

that would be fantastic
if we could pickup at least 3 of these schools -

that would be 21 schools,
plus potentially ND -
i'd suspect they'd want several of the ACC schools,
so i'm not seein them go after 5 PAC schools -
maybe the first 3 you mentioned -
 
Here's what I'm hearing from people who have been accurate about expansion so far:

- Big Ten goal is to get to 20 in the very near future (within the next year)
- Ideally this would be ND, Stanford, Oregon and Washington
- However, if ND remains Independent, Cal, ASU or Utah would most likely take this place (I'm being told 20 is definitely happening but the 20 team is not decided at this time, if ND says no)
- Once that happens, SOME people I talk to think this will cause the SEC and Big Ten to open up the ACC for further consolidation (Note that this was far more speculation than fact based)

My take for the Big 12 (This is not what I'm being told):
- If Cal, Stanford, UO and UW move to the Big Ten, the Big 12 will likely try to add west coast inventory in order to open up that 4th time slot (10:00/10:30 kickoff). This likely means Zona, ASU, Utah and Colorado. I hope OSU and WSU get in the Big 12 but I don't think that happens.
- If the ACC does indeed open up, the Big 12 will likely go east in order to add teams and get to 20.

Everyone's expectations was the Big XII raiding the Pac-10 but Big XII Commissioner, Brett Yormark has other plans.

Yormark has reached out to all old members of the @Big 8 Rules members, including OU. Besides OU, Colorado, Nebby & Mizzou being gauged, Yormark also sent a shot across the bow reaching out to Minnesota.

Judging from this, Yormark is not messing around. From what I've also gathered, he did NOT extend the same courtesy to Texas.

Is there a chance to get the old crew back together sans Texas and their ego? After all, they killed what we had.
