I'm in the same boat, but hoping for a little more time. Question is will we be too feeble to enjoy it when the day comes?

Buddy, I'm in the same boat. However, it has been said that everything is enjoyable when you're feeble. Ignorance is bliss... Frankly, I think there is quite a roster of posters on this board that have crossed over.

 

[dwalks93]

Ok maybe I am being a pure UConn homer but yesterday was not the end of the road.

Was it good for UConn that there is no BIG12 networking coming? Definitely no.

Was it good that Boren indicated at least part of any future selection criteria will be teams who Big12 fan bases want to see their school play? Probably not as this indicates expansion could be partly driven by a non-metric, geographical focused, football-centric popularity vote.

All that said, there is still money to be made in expansion for the Big12 and there is a lot more money to be made by taking G5 teams. It does not seem likely ACC schools would leave for the Big12 but even if they did FSU/Clemson are not taking "a haircut." In essence a lot of the potential money which could be made by the Big12 teams through expansion is in the form of extorting and withholding money from incoming members. Other P5 programs aren't going to agree to that...G5 program will take a half share with a smile.

If yesterday showed anything it is that neither UT nor Oklahoma seems fully committed long term to the Big12. Any Big12 program other than UT or OU should look at expansion as insurance in the event UT/OU bolt. Sure the Big12 may get the same expansion money for Appalachian State as they do for UConn but who is better situated to help the conference survive if UT/OU leave? UConn chances may have dropped some but I still think UConn helps the Big12's long term survival chances more than the competition.

Trying to make sense of the Big12 is like trying to mold a statute out of pudding. I suppose there is not really a Big12...there is UT and what UT lets the rest of the Big12 do....I am becoming more convinced UT is more interested in publicly imposing its will than it is in helping the Big12. Expansion will be an interesting test on what UT will allow.

Now that B12 dream is over it is now time to dream that a very good ND team "without a 13th data point" gets left out of the playoff and they join the ACC with us as 16. None of our current realignment rivals bring much to the ACC.

Well here's Tim Brando saying that Notre Dame will join the ACC in 3 years and the ACCN will eventually get off the ground. A Duke blog (yuck) thinks that means Texas will also be on the table for the ACC when the B12 implodes - I guess because ND has a TV deal and Texas has a network... underpants? Anyway, there's that nut-punch to look forward to.

 

[Jimdish255]

I think ESPN is trying to hold back a network to protect the ACC. Just a gut feeling that doesn't even rise to non-key anything. Further consolidation will marginalize the sport longer term but in some crazy way I think they feel it gives them more control (over a shrinking pie). And I'd love to see the report they decided to send back and the new criteria that's been suggested to massage the metrics.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

So sensitive.

The Big 12 not expanding is a good thing for UConn. That many don't understand it doesn't make it less true.

I wouldn't call it "good" it's more neutral. It's bad in that we don't get into a P5 conference, but it's good that the AAC isn't weakened to a point of unsustainability. As it stands, the AAC is a place that we can tread water for a few more years in hopes of landing a P5 spot. The AAC minus some combination of one or two of UC, UH, Memphis, UCF would become immediately unsustainable for both football and basketball and would force us to seriously look at moving programs other places.

It's the best possible outcome right now. There was never going to be a network and without a network it was never going to happen. So maybe 'good' isn't the right world but it's better than the alternatives.

Fair enough, agreed.

 

[whaler11]

Going to 14 doesn't keep them from recruiting better schools in the future (such as FSU and Clemson).

Of course it limits their ability to grow in the future.

Every school you invite that won't raise your per school rake on the open market will damage your ability to compete to attract schools from other leagues.

If you invite 4 schools now - they will have to be worth over a hundred million a year in the next negotiation to even keep the league whole.

I think it's safe to say there aren't 4 G5 schools that will add $100+ million to a TV deal in the mid 2020s.

 

[whaler11]

The Big 12 is a mess - but I think they landed on the right answer for them for now. There is no reason to rush into anything.

Last thing tonight: B12 wouldn't be trying to reduce conf games to 8 if they weren't pretty damn sure they are going to expand. Goodnight

Taking Houston and/or BYU would be a total gut punch to WVU.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Taking Houston and/or BYU would be a total gut punch to WVU.

I wonder if the WVU contingent realizes that the Big 12 doesn't want them, or at least a fair chunk of it. I think there is an old timer contingent in the Big 12 that is nostalgic for regional conference play, and wishes they didn't have to travel east of Iowa.

Why would WVU care?

 

[don356]

It's really in my opinion a definitive sign that OU( and likely Texas because they will not get another LN deal) are out of there once the GOR expires. Ie. no hope for a b12 network, so no need to expand markets, etc. They are just filing out to 12 for the short run, closer the better

Have you seen the egos those WVU fanboys posses? They are convinced they are the greatest thing to ever happen to the Big 12

This was the non-lawyer who never read the ACC GOR but continually tweeted that "FSU lawyers" were laughing at the GOR and ready to sue to get out of it.....the outcome already being certain.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Bluevod is full of crap. Guy hasn't been right about a single thing and his posts make no sense. One day it's a deadline, the next it's a head fake, the next it's a precursor of something in a month....worthless.

Location, if they were to expand w/o an eastern partner for them.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 23m23 minutes ago
Expansion is very much alive. Network is not totally dead.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 22m22 minutes ago
Network could be worked out with ESPN via streaming and simulcasting some LHN content. Cable not likely unless we go for a ACC/B12 hybrid

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 22m22 minutes ago
Expansion criteria has TV market right up there near the top of list because research shows that to be one of the most valuable criteria

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 21m21 minutes ago

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 21m21 minutes ago
BYU is still very much in play for all sports.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 21m21 minutes ago
We will not consider any football only additions.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 20m20 minutes ago
We will only expand by two if we expand-even though 4 adds most value. Must leave spots open for future.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 20m20 minutes ago
It's a very real possibility we could land 2-4 P5 schools once GORs for other conferences expire.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 19m19 minutes ago
UT is not against expanding with G5. They just didn't want the proposed 4 schools because they have been having talks independently with P5

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 18m18 minutes ago
UC is the one that is almost a lock but Uconn/BYU will depend largely on what BYU/B12 can work out.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 18m18 minutes ago
UC has almost universal support from conference mates while BYU and Uconn are split.

WVU believes they will end up in a division with OU/OKST/Baylor/Kstate.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 11m11 minutes ago
UT makes more money off of TV than any other school in CFB and that wouldn't be the case in any other conf.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9m9 minutes ago
A streaming B12N could add another 2+mil per year to everyone-UT as well. Specifics being ironed out.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 8m8 minutes ago

[Exit 4]

Oh great, so there still is the potential for a major kick when they pick BYU and Cincy this fall.

So UNC and UVA to B1G in 2025, FSU and Clemson to B12 in 2025 and the ACC slims from 14 to 10, then adds Houston and Colorado State <-joke or Memphis <-another cruel joke, to get back to 12 where they rest (not counting ND). I guess we can hope ND spits on the idea of playing Houston, Colorado State or Memphis regularly.
