As silly as it sounds, this stuff matters to recruits.But football is different. Who the fuck decided that football should become Project Runway?
Fuck Ohio State
@Plan9Misfit your thoughts?
If the allegations are true, then he deserves the suspension.@Plan9Misfit your thoughts?
If they want to make any kind of statement they always need to do the last 4 games. Make it mean something. Otherwise it's just a vacation.
Nevermind.
I don't believe that. Loyalty only goes so far these days and the money associated with college athletics as a whole (and football in particular) is just insane. Those teams don't really move the needle for tv contracts like the SEC I think OU and Texas still get the opportunity and bolt. Greed will win out every time.The real shame is that the original Big 12 with A&M and Nebraska and Mizzou and CU broke up. I loved that league. If they'd stayed together, OU and Texas probably never go to the SEC.
The big 10 would likely give Nebraska back if you ask nicely.Wow.
I've always said the Pac-12 is doomed because people out there simply don't love football like they do in the south and midwest, and it's really happening now.

I bet if they were honest, a bunch of their fans wish they'd never made that move.The big 10 would likely give Nebraska back if you ask nicely.
As big as the SEC has become, maybe. But I think that original B12 would be closer to the Big Ten today and the commensurate huge TV contact. Maybe close enough for the big two to stay.I don't believe that.

I just don't see it. The TV contracts are too focused on market size and the original Big 12 just didn't have many. They owned the state of Texas, but not much outside that. A large region of the country for sure, but not as many TV sets. It's the sole reason the conference expanded to Orlando, Cincinnati and a national brand in BYU.As big as the SEC has become, maybe.

I don't know. When those teams left they Big 12 they were still considered quality top 25 programs. Even Missouri was making Big 12 title games and fielding top 10 teams that won 10+ games per year.I don't believe that.
