Sounds like a middle of the pack Big12 team . No way they will be able to defend but then again CNC is all about offense so maybe it works out. Do they have any height at all?

One thing is for sure, Baylor is going a very different direction style wise with Nicki. I think they will be more versatile offensively having more range as she has a much bigger emphasis on 3 point ball. I don't think they will be as dominant in the paint. How she gets them to play defensively is something I'll be interested in.

Kim has her faults like every other coach in America but Baylor was incredibly dominant and had an amazing run over the last decade in large part because of their defense and dominance in the post so it'll be interesting to see how Nicki's vision and style translate.

I gotta admit, this one hurts. My beloved Big South Conference just lost their third school within the last year, the top 3 schools in fact. This makes missing out on Queens University (who went to the ASUN) even more painful. No more throwing out the record books when the Panthers and Camels meet up. :(

Down to 9 schools after this years.... just 4 football playing schools...... man ol man. #rollhumps I guess

Just musing out loud. I wonder if their BIG10+ service was an issue during negotiations. That's a revenue stream I couldn't see the BIG10 being willing to give up to ESPN.

I like BIG10+ because you can customize your subscription and that I can actually subscribe to it as a Canadian. Don't get me wrong, ESPN+ is cool too but it doesn't seem customizable and I can't get it without having to go through hoops (pun intended) to do so because of government regulations here :(:mad::(:mad:

B1G wants to be the priority; FOX gives them that. ESPN/ABC has chosen to prioritize the SEC.

Appreciate the insight. I find the TV deals in US sports intriguing. The layers involved is what interests me.

Ill be honest I'm scared to even look at LSU's OOC schedule when its released. One of the few things I have always disagreed with Kim. You don't need to schedule a bunch of top 10 teams (especially if you don't have the roster) but schedule more teams within striking distance of making the NCAAT/or in itself. Beating up on small teams who's RPI is in the 200s/300's. Doesn't do much to improve anyone and its such an eye sore on the resume.

All I know is LSU is going to Hawaii and the Bahamas.
 
Yikes, not much there for UA's non con. Is Adia still going with the "nobody will come to Tucson" excuse?
 
Not schedule related, but Univ. of Washington's team is currently on a trip to Italy.

Are you freakign kidding me? I could have sworn I'd read somewhere that Texas would make a return trip to Tucson this season since last season's game in Vegas was canceled. :mad:
 
Does anyone know if the SEC/Big 12 Challenge is taking place this season? Last season, the games were played the first weekend in December. But, no Big 12 opponents for MSU or Tennessee that weekend in 2022. Only 10 SEC teams participate, but I'm not very hopeful it's happening.

Very disappointed that Texas and Tennessee aren't scheduled to play each other for the first time in maybe 35 years.

Yes it does see, strange. I was wondering why the game wasn't on the schedule.
 


I'm just glad this is after my doctor's checkup. Cause I got a bad feeling my blood pressure might rise a bit the second week in October.
 
Looking less likely SC’s schedule will be as loaded as it was last season. We play UConn, Stanford, Maryland and Oregon but not sure of anyone else other than a possible UCLA matchup. Dawn did say they were in a struggle finding three more games to finish off the schedule. Hoping to see Texas or Baylor in possible Big12/SEC matchup and I wouldn’t mind seeing ND or Louisville and Iowa or Michigan on the schedule as well.

Texas A&M is facing Kansas this season in the Big 12/SEC Challenge so it appears to be happening, they just haven't released the full slate, or haven't finished solidifying matchups. It seems Tennessee and MSU just aren't participating this season.

Texas-Tennessee was a projected top-10 (maybe even top 5) matchup this upcoming season that I was looking forward too. There is a possibility they could face each other in the Bahamas, but not having the pre-conceived guaranteed matchup makes for the bracket set up all that more interesting. I'm curious if they didn't schedule their regular series due to a potential contract conflict with potentially meeting more than once during the season? Though UCONN & SC met, so that wouldn't make sense

Wondering if they're setting up a SC @ Texas matchup, Texas is set to host and SC would need to be on the road... maybe thats just wishful thinking though:p

Thanks. That makes 2 seasons in a row that Tennessee doesn't play in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

Yeah, I've been holding out hope that S. Carolina would come to Austin; but, they were sent to Austin for the challenge like 5-6 years ago. So, figured that wouldn't happen again without Texas getting sent to Columbia first.

If that is so SC will face it’s toughest opponents on the road this year. Stanford, Oregon, Maryland, UConn, and possibly Texas will all be away games. Very interesting for sure but I love the thought of going in everyone else’s gym and getting their best shot.

Great for the ratings. I wouldn’t mind a Reese vs Blackwell matchup or a Andrews vs Morris one either.
Expand ...
That would also be a homecoming for Morris if it did happen.

Both teams are replacing a bunch of starters. LSU is replacing 4, Baylor 3.

Did you actually read something somewhere that the challenge is for sure happening?

In reading the A&M and Kansas schedule releases, neither of them mentions their matchup as being part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
