CFB Expansion Talk

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Boston College and Virginia seem like pretty good fits. I wouldn’t be surprised to see no expansion at all though. No necessary reason to dilute the brand.

TCU and Baylor are dark horses though

 

[Pipe Line]

No one will want Cockeyes state. Michigan should go get Campbell.

Oh boy that’d be the ultimate big dick move to the boys in Columbus. He hasn’t even beaten Cockeye. Does he want the pressure of needing to beat tOSU?

 

[Mavsker]

given that the big ten is basically a basketball conference I'm expecting they'll add Kansas and Virginia

not sure how many acc schools are going to be interested though

 

[Cash68847]

Honestly not much of a reason to take on anything else. He’s doing fine in Ames

If the big two leave the big 12, he isn’t going to stay long at Cockeye state.

I was just thinking if they need a conference it makes sense geographically

Conference realignment is all about tv markets, revenue, financial value, etc. Teams like Cockeye State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, etc, are going to be fucked hard if Oklahoma and Texas leave the Big 12. Those schools have no financial value, no real fan bases, etc. I suppose they could try to continue on with the Big 12, maybe add BYU and some other regional schools, but they're basically just a G5 conference at that point.

 

[Husker_in_OK]

The way these B12 reject schools fanbases bad mouthed Nebraska for leaving, I hope they all get left behind. As far as I'm concerned they can all play G5 and go fuck off.

Not smart ass, genuine question, why would the rest of the big 12 go group of 5?

because they don’t have the value to end up in one of the super conferences. Maybe the PAC 12 scoops up OSU, but if I were ISU, KSU, TT, TCU, Baylor, I would not have a lot of confidence in my future should the Big 12 dissolve.

Texas Tech seems like a fit with the PAC 12 too.

I imagine if this goes down we’ll see some sort of Mountain West or AAC combo with some of the Big 12 left overs

 

[Toe]

The leadership emanating from Kevin Warren's Chicago office on this issue is deafening. Talk about a useless POS. As Damon Benning would say, "Goodness!"

Check out this chucklefuck who thinks he knows everything that's going on in behind-closed-doors discussions just from reading a few tweets!

Most likely the Big 10 would raid the ACC. Boston College, Virginia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina

No way is UNC leaving Duke & NC State.

Not smart ass, genuine question, why would the rest of the big 12 go group of 5?

They wouldn't so much 'go' G5 so much as 'become' it when the remains of the Big 12 cease to be a power conference.

Yeah they might be, although I don’t know how much they bring to the table in terms of popularity/market/history.

gotta figure the PAC 12 would be looking to add a couple schools though

Boy that’s gotta be a tough pill to swallow for them. TCU isn’t too far out from their most recent success, and Baylor just hired the LSU guy a year ago

Boy for a once proud conference that sure turned shitty real fast

Honestly if I’m in the Big 10 if Notre Dame says no I’m probably calling Oregon and ISC. Probably would try for USC and Notre Dame 1st

Baylor basketball just won a Natty and they’ve got access to the Dallas media market. They’ll find a place.

That’s a good point. Didn’t consider that. I guess I was assuming the big 12 turns to the other big 10 or ISU joins the actual big 10 and their life becomes stable

They’re a conference tweener I feel like. Like West Virginia. It wouldn’t feel right if they moved

Merge with Pac 12, add BYU and Notre Dame. 28 team conference with 4 divisions. Husker fans happy because we basically are out of the Big 10.

West: Washington, Washignton State, Oregon Oregon State, Cal, Stanford, UCLA

Southwest: Nebraska, USC, BYU, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Arizona State

Midwest: Cockeye, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue, Notre Dame

East: OSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, Rutgers, Penn State, Maryland

 

[God is a Husker]

Unless it has been renegotiated I thought their TV deal was like 40 mil and ours way 55 mil.

This next TV deal will be interesting with streaming and talk of teams or leagues developing own channels more. I wonder if that's why they are expanding the husker media department.

Bob Stoops made a great point a few years back when he publicly came out against OU signing the rights agreement

"You have schools like Indiana, Purdue and Illinois making $10-20 million more than OU. After a few years the money starts adding up and these lower level schools have the ability to pay for new facilities and out bid OU for coaches."

he saw the writing on the wall, OU goes to the CFP and makes $15 million less money than Nebraska going 4-8 = somethings gotta give for OU
