Bowlsby said Big 12 is intentionally at 10 teams. Sees short-term to mid-term "relative calm" in a realignment.

All leagues are intentionally at whatever number of members they have. The Big 12 will be able to play this angle until some Oklahoma State team that would get buried by the 4th best team in the SEC makes the playoff by skipping a conference championship and the other 4 will change the rules.

It's a bit interesting that the ACC ended up with more influence and 'power' than the Big 12 even though most years the Big 12 buries them on the field. Too much power in the Big 12 is tied up in Texas - and by keeping the other schools down it negatively impacts the conference.

I was listening to the same thing but he went on to say it could happen in 10-15 years too... ugh.

I didn't hear it. Thanks for the context. Ugh is right. Did he say that any moves could happen in the near future?

 

[CTGoonie]

He didn't add anything else regarding realignment.

Nah, it just seems that way because Freescooter posts a lot.

UConn and USF fans rejoice! We're in the Big12!

 

[Bearcats#1]

I figure at the end of the day UC/BYU to the B12.

UCONN and KU to the B1G

 

[SubbaBub]

UC to the B12 may actually be a better long term move for UConn. The A isn't substantially better or worse with UC in it, though they are one of the best programs in it. It prevents the BC/SU block on UConn to the ACC if they need another team.

HFD just tweeted he and the dude are roommates but are just friends and nothing more.

The guy does some podcast out of his house on realignment. Never listened before and won't be listening tonight.

 

[husky91]

Yup, but he's plugged in!

I tuned in for 5 minutes. I won't be posting anymore because I am going to Park St in Hartford to purchase a hand gun.....

I just can't put into words what I heard......speechless.

Huskymedic and Sportsart, you can't leave me hangin' like that! A synopsis of "the crazy" would be helpful, if either of you could muster the energy...

Hell... they haven't come close to talking about UConn or CR.

The Dude spent a good 5 minutes whacking around Clay Travis and other "national media" for making fun of him.

How they got Jeremy Fowler to call in is amazing. (he may have stood them up because he was suppose to call in @ 2030)
