comish couldn't get the votes. just on the ocho
8 - you have to count AM who wouldnt come back even without the SECmizzou to SEC leaves 9 teams there
You got that right!!!!dear god were fuucked.
which leads me to say "bye bye frogs, we barely knew ye"
I wonder what OU will do now if their demands aren't met?
There is now an eight member conference with two legitimate anchor schools (UT & OU) looking to expand. UL, Cinci and WVU have to be on their short list (along with BYU).

According to Schad (on ESPN) the four schools that will be in the pod aligned with the four B-12 members (AZ, ASU, Utah and Colorado) weren't happy with the idea of not being aligned at all with any true pacific coast schools and being stuck competing in football where they would be the bottom tier (to the four newcomers). Evidently in the proposed pod system, for football two pods would form one division.They needed 9 votes from the PAC-12. I guess they didn't get them. 3/4 yes/no ratio is hard to get.
My doomsday scenario has three BE schools (WVU, UL, Cincy) and BYU joining, returning that conference to twelve members.BYU is higher on the list than any Big East school.
I suspect that the Big 12 North would join the Big East if not for the punitive departure fees.
That and the fact that the Colorado President was actively campaigning against adding Texas and Oklahoma.

There won't be a way to get everyone in the P-12 on the same page. The only way for that conference to expand to sixteen (shy of seeing it as a requirement if the other major conferences all end up there) would have been to have done it last year jumping from ten.

That is truly the one scenario where we are screwed.
That would leave the Big East with: UConn, Rutgers and USF. TCU most likely goes back to the Mtn West.
What would we do at that point?
LOL, why did they ever add Colorado and Utah before Texas and Oklahoma? And those two schools have the gall to veto expansion? Hard to believe.
