Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

@Jaron_033

Now getting multiple people that have ties to UConn saying recruits are being told the move is in play. Don't think they'd be using that as a recruiting tactic if it weren't in stone. (I'm just the relay here, if you all are looking for a source I'm sorry. Take this as you will.)

The funny part is if it is us, Zona, Colorado, and ASU, I would not be stunned if our three permanent rivals are Cincy, WVU, and UCF, and WVU and Cincy play the last week as well as us and UCF.

Yeah, four adds to 16 is pretty perfect for this OBE/AAC reunion group to form a pod

Pods are probably what they would use:
Colorado, BYU, Arizona, Arizona State
UConn, UCF, Cincy, WVU
TTU, Baylor, TCU, Houston
Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State

I could see Okie State being upset with this though.

I don't think it plays out this way because it would in essence become a minor league to the NFL with no access for over half the teams across the country. I think the power brokers do/will realize that they would disenfranchise millions of college football fans and therefore reduce the tv value. The beauty of March Madness is the access cinderellas have - that is the golden goose.

Those are the teams OSU has the longest history with, also not a difficult path on a yearly basis. However, I could see any flip flop between those 4 and TTU, Baylor and TCU.

Okie St is going to want guaranteed access to Texas every year. If the Big12 can do that, they are set. Otherwise two of the Texas schools will flip with OkST and Iowa State.

In basketball there are cinderellas. In football, not so much. There is no football access for more than half the teams already. Once the B1G and SEC get to 48 teams, they will not share their football revenue with anyone else, and they will not allow access to anyone else. It wasn't so long ago that all the major bowl games were locked into conferences, and no other conference could get access.

In that pod set up each team would play the 3 teams in their pod every year and 2 teams from every other pod on a rotating basis. OSU would be guaranteed at least a game in Tex and 1 home game against a team from Tex, each year, as would every other team in the conference. Of course this is on a 9 game conference schedule.

Basketball has 300+ schools; football 130. In football all you have to have is about 40 programs thinking they could be Cinderella and you have the March Madness effect given footballs limited number of games played. So, if B1G and SEC go to 20 or so schools and don't kick out their weaklings that would leave a decent number of schools in the rest of the football playing schools to think they could have a chance in a 12 or 16 team CFP. Just enough of a sniff to get/keep fanbases interested enough to keep the tv advertising dollars to keep flowing in across the entire country. Because in the final equation, tv revenue is what is the golden goose and that comes from advertisers that want to reach super regions/national audiences. Without that, the whole concept deflates.

Trust me, I hope this happens But the fact Big 12 wants to wait for PAC 12 says everything. If they can get 4 or 2 of the ‘4 corner’ schools, UConn is once again pushed back in line.

From what I’m reading, I don’t think it’s likely for one or three to make the leap.

I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1998. Been through the great highs and miserable lows. The happiest moment was seeing us take down BC last year (ND was just awesome in its day, but BC was a burr in backside). Getting to a P5 where we belong is the icing on the cake of a very long journey. Patience and perseverance. It’s going to happen and you can thank Hurley, Mora, Geno, Penders for putting the school in prime position. It’s amazing what happens when the right people are on board. Keep the faith.

This is pretty solid. I’d imagine OSU and Houston get swapped because OSU has the pull.

The whole pods thing just feels like a coping mechanism. If the four corners come we are a curbside meal that someone decided they didn’t want.

The 3/4 seems more like a better fit. Both Arizona schools and Colorado. Yes, I know Utah has a strong following and a strong football pedigree with multiple top 25 finishes, NY bowl games and stuff, but they are a complete overlap of BYU for market in a market that doesn't suggest two teams in the same conference.

And in a 3/4 corner grab by Big12, UConn slots in nicely to balance out time zones.

Yeah. Houston/Kansas isn't a terrible basketball pairing either, and for football they'd prob do very well in that pod

Sounds like Copium to me. I’ll believe it when it happens. It’s wishful thinking.
