@KentSterling Hey, Ken, I'm setting a lot of rumors on Twitter re Big Ten expansion being imminent. People are mentioning Texas, OK & FSU
​
With UConn as the 4th, I'm good with that.
With UConn to the ACC to fill FSU spot, not as good as the first option, but it works.
Heck I'd take wandering into a severely damaged Big 12, or forming a new conference with the best of the rest.

The ACC has eclipsed the old BE record by raiding the BE to extinction, and adding more top basketball programs from the BE to shore up the lack of depth in the old ACC.

The best credit years that the Big East had were due, in part, because of Louisville's deep runs....a program raided from CUSA. That's the way of the world.

Cuse, Virginia, and Notre Dame aren't that good this year (even if they are earning credits)...even a bad basketball team like FSU beat them.
 
Someone breaking the record was bound to happen....

After all, if an infinite number of rednecks, riding in an infinite number of pickups, fires an infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of highway signs, they will eventually write the entire works of Shakespeare...in Braille.

We had to "raid" UL and Cincy just to have the minimum number of football teams to continue as a conference. Why was that? Keep trolling, when I reach your age I hope to have better ways to pass my time then on another school's message board.

And I thought you didn't get it! Mea culpa.

Yep...like watch football?

And..I do not troll. I chum....there is a difference.

Getting old is indeed not for everybody....but internet therapy keeps my IQ at a reasonable level. Us geezers, particularly in mountain cabins, tend to get isolated and community (even if ersatz) is important to hold off the inevitable decline.

I do appreciate that you have to be forbearing....

Shalom

There a lot of smoke, especially coming from Oklahoma right now. That said, while contiguous states is not a 100% requirement for the B!G as much as AAU is, I can't see the B1G taking FSU now without UVA (or V Tech), UNC and G Tech as without a land bridge, FSU would be on an island over 800 miles to the next nearest B1G team. The B1G is not as insane as the XII. On the other end, I can't see how the B1G takes Oklahoma and Texas (the LHN issue would have to be addressed first), without taking Kansas, too, which is AAU, has a major basketball brand and physically links the B1G (Nebraska) with Oklahoma and Texas (unless Missouri is back in play, too)

I don't know Schulz's Background but that feels like a lateral move. KSU to Wazzu?
Expand ...

More $. Schultz made $475k at KSU. WSU prior Pres made $750. Cost of living is low in both places, so a major bump.
 
Now you guys really are screwing up this thread.

Unless you're posting something important from Twitter, take the chatter to another thread.

I'm going to have to start deleting posts and that's work and it will annoy me to the point where I will delete people.

    With Schulz leaving as chair of Big 12 board of directors, he could be replaced by K-State interim pres or next pres in line: David Boren.

    Bob Bowlsby also said the departure of K-State pres Kirk Schulz to Wash St shouldn't delay Big 12 decision-making process this summer.

    Big 12's Bob Bowlsby says early research from league data study shows football conf title game and 13th data point improves playoff chances.

    Mike Finger Retweeted Chuck Carlton

    "Early research?" Like they're analyzing DNA strands or something?

@mikefinger Actually that part is pretty final, Bowlsby said. Probably bad phrasing my part. Work on schedule models, league number ongoing.

Not a tweet but kind of key...

Semi-reliable sources at one of the universities says that Cincinnati, Memphis, Boise and BYU will be added to take membership to 14. Are you hearing anything similar?

Berry Tramel Mar 30 2016 12:11 PM
No. Not at all. I can tell you that Memphis is a non-starter. Way down the list. Now, Connecticut is a different story. You put UConn and BYU into a Big 12 Network, and you've got a lot of eyeballs. Cincy and Boise State would be fine, too. But not Memphis. No football fan base. None at all.

That's as key as we get around here. Nice find.

If the B12 final four were Cincy, Memphis, Boise and BYU, it could only mean that the B1G had taken UConn.

Thats the only sensible rationalization.....truthfully unless its the only option you guys need any P5 NOT the B12.....its a shaky house of cards...

And at those meetings they will introduce six new members: Cincy, BYU, Memphis, Florida St, Clemson, and Boise. Not UConn. And then the B10 will announce their two new additions to get them to 16: UNC and UVA. UConn and the AAC will then announce their backfill with Southern Mississippi and Notre Dame...

...Of Fairfield.
