Colorado in Big XII

BC is in the ACC because they are located in Boston. It’s a huge market, but BC is not committed to big time athletics. We do not move the needle amongst Boston sports fans and our fan base is small. We fit perfectly into the ACC and the ACC may very well need us in the near future. If they took Rutgers then they would not need us, but they let the B1G swoop in for some reason.

I’m not and never was really excited by the B12. It’s slightly better than the old AAC and the money is good, but those teams are so far away and we have little history with them. It appears now that ESPN will only pay for one more addition to the B12. That tells you that the collection of teams in the B12 is not very exciting to the media.

Still pretending to be a UConn fan.

You are so wrong about the Big12 being slightly better than the AAC. Come on man, get a grip or tell us why you think that.
 
The B12 just brought in 3 AAC schools. They have no marquee football teams. In a lot of ways it makes it a fun league because any team can win the championship. Getting Oregon & Washington would give them two marquee teams.
 
I’m only comparing the old AAC football to the current B12 football. There is no comparison in hoops.

And because of that, the Big12 schools may balk at OR/WA because it might dampen their chances of getting into the CFP.

I read that like he was now pretending to be a BC fan.

I say "pretending to be a BC fan" because BCU doesn't actually have fans.
 
Was checking out the Buffs board and saw this, and since we were speaking about Ames:
