I’ve been wondering about Oregon and this makes sense. The B1G still cares about academics and Washington is a much more highly regarded school and research institution.Kansas State 247 also reports Oregon and Washington met with the Big 12 last night. Said Oregon in particular is interested because B!G is less interested in them than Washington.
Along with the fact that the Big 12 is a lesser conference than the B1GI think the biggest thing that Nebraska has done though is to recruit Texas high school coaches and administrators to the point that the I don't think the other schools could gain too much traction on that.
I thought BYU was a solid add.I would agree here- and actually go as far as to say if Yormark was commissioner when they made those adds they wouldn’t have made them.
You almost always want to add “University of xyz” rather than “University of Directional xyz” or “Xyz State University” if you can. There’s infinitely more power/brand in most instances by adding these schools, plus they’re usually the primary land grant institution of a state.
Adding the University of Arizona, University of Connecticut, and another one (University of Utah?) would be ideal. You don’t need 2 schools in Arizona or really any of the existing Big 12 footprint. Adding the second most popular team in the city of Cincinnati, Fourth most popular school in Florida, Second most popular school in Utah and like at best 5th most popular school in Texas isn’t exactly “powerful”. Those schools have all experienced varying degrees of success and do bring some athletic advantages/nice to haves, but for the most part are putrid academically and struggle with fan support. Not many tshirt fans for those types of places.
UCF wasn't a bad add. They come in pretty strong and should be able to compete as long as Malzahn's the coach. Outside of football they're not competitive but it doesn't really matterI thought BYU was a solid add.
Houston, Cincy & UCF were panic adds. Those schools needed the Big12 more than the Big12 needed them. In many ways it hurts the existing members more than helps them
BYU actually has a national fanbase & a solid history
I think Oregon to most big programs they’d rather see them die off than give them the tools to get betterI feel like I’m in the minority here, but Fuck Oregon. I’d prefer to see them in a shit conference.
I’d get rid of Oregon, replace with Georgia TechImo:
Notre Dame
North Carolina
Stanford
Virginia
Miami
Washington
Oregon
Lawyers & money.I’m interested in the magic trick that gets Clemson and FSU out of the ACC GOR.
Lawyers agree there’s no way out which leaves money. That’s always been the problem.Lawyers & money.
