CSU is one of those programs much like UCONN, that I have always kept an eye on. Not because they are a powerhouse add like UNL, or a great market like Rutgers, but instead a good combination of improving metrics. With Colorado doing nothing nationally for 25 years, there is room for a brand like CSU to be developed via membership in a major conference. It could explain why they are gung ho to push through an incredibly expensive stadium build despite being a member of a G5 Conference.

CSU is making a push for something behind the scenes? I seen rumors they want in either the B12 or B1G on Landthieves CR board. Not unrealistic IMO.
 
When I've seen them in tv the stands are (typically packed) with people wearing orange but uniforms are green and yellow. I don't get that
 
Frustration when programs up and down the P5 from Texas and Ohio State to Wake Forest and BC earn the big bucks while programs like BYU, UCONN, Cincy, and the Floridas earn much less. Ideally all D1 programs should be on a level playing field and perhaps earning financially what they earn on the field. It's mad. This methodology would make more sense than what is out there now.

Behind the scenes a Big 12 Country network is being discussed... and those discussion include Texas.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h 1 hour ago
If they can work the details for "Big 12 Country" then the conference is set to expand into key markets just in time for the next contract.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h 1 hour ago
Included in those discussion are distribution channels like Netflix and Hulu.

So don't believe the rumors that anyone in the Big 12 is looking to leave.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h 1 hour ago
All signs point to expansion - at least between P5 conferences - being over.

One of the craziest movies of all time. From Jimmy Durante kicking the bucket to
Jonathan Winters classic garage destruction scene
I couldn't imagine what that set was like with that cast.

Happened to stumble upon this the other day even though its about a month old..

Now the dude says big 12 will expand when it forms it's own network. You think? It's no different than their current network situation other than that deal is already done. However, you cannot wait until that deal is over to do it. That's why they have to do it sooner rather than later or the ship will have sailed.
 
I've had the thought of CSU and UConn to the B1G as possibility. Didn't think anyone else had thought of the possibility but it sounds good to me. I think CO can support two P5 schools and CT really deserves a seat at the table.

It's odd that just a few days after the Floog schooled the Dood on conference networks...

The Big 12 is going to have one. And they are ahead of the curve - it's going to be on Hulu!

I have several questions for you.

When did you first have these thoughts?
Did you believe in them right away, or did you have doubts?
What were some of the doubts you had?
Do you still have those doubts?

And now this morning @theDudeofWV talks about behind the scenes talk of a Big 12 "country" conference network.
How? ask him how.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6h6 hours ago
@geoffmitchell @theDudeofWV Ask Chris for some detail...on how this could possibly work in next 10 years. Just ask him.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@geoffmitchell @theDudeofWV ..a shallow discussion of this supposedly behind the scenes talk of a B12N. Chris won't give you any detail/info

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell · 5h5 hours ago
@flugempire @theDudeofWV I'm not sure what Fox News type spat you want to have with him but he's not the only one to hear it this weekend.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4h4 hours ago
@geoffmitchell @theDudeofWV Chris didn't hear it this weekend,he has been talking about it for months. He has not answered a single question

Hey, it was just a thought. Thinking of markets that can support P5 programs and institutions unencumbered by a GOR. Obviously, it's a long shot. It would get the B1G into the Denver market though and we've thoroughly discussed the merits of UConn to the B1G from a market perspective.
 
Maybe the B1G would value having a third time zone to create live events over a wider spectrum of times.

OK, had a day to marinate over the CSU to Big10 "rumor." Since we are in the world of hypotheticals here, let's run with it for a small moment. Assuming UConn is 15 and CSU is 16, here's a Michigan fan's thoughts.

A fan perspective: Not exciting at all. No name brand recognition, no traditions that I know of, no history with any Big10 school at all. Adding 2 and staying at 2 divisions would push those original Big10 schools even further apart. only 2 crossover games? Either that or go to pods (not sure how that would be better). Giving that up for an Oklahoma, Texas, or even a Tennessee might be worth it. UConn wouldn't be worth it for football, but the basketball would more than make up for it. CSU? Eh, not so much. It would be worse for a Nebraska or Wisconsin. Very few games against Michigan, OSU, and PSU would make for a pretty lousy home schedule. Pods would be even worse: Nebraska would probably be put with Iowa, CSU, and Minnesota. Not a great slate. No, it would not excite me at all. I would rather have Houston for the recruiting territory.

Now, from a CR/money perspective: intriguing. If you are hell bent to expand by the next contract, CSU would be the a good partner with UConn. No GoR to get around, ready to go at a moments notice, and in a pretty good size market. There are many Big10 alumni in the Denver area (they are all over the place) that would make getting the BTN on Denver TV somewhat easy. CSU is a great research school mentioned in the same breath as VT, Georgia, ASU, Oregon St, and UConn as potential AAU members if they add. With The Buffalos being the hot mess athletically as they are right now, CSU has a chance to pull even with and even surpass them as the premier college athletic program in the state.

Who knows? They may be just what the doctor ordered. I just don't see it.
 
If Colorado State is going to get into a major conference, it will be the Big 12.

I'd say they're even more screwed than we are.

At least someone will have been right...

In the past three years we have seen talk about going to the Big Ten about:

UConn, Virginia, Virginia Tech, FSU, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, North Carolina, Buffalo, Colorado State, Notre Dame....

Even the wild imagination of HFD never though of CSU to the B1G
That is at the very least original.

I thought they would be good for the Big XII, which should not look east, but west. But never considered them for the B1G. Thought it more likely the B1G would try to get Colorado from the Pac.
 
The last time UConn competed with CSU it was for Jeff Hathaway.

Add Texas, Rice, Navy, Boston U, ASU etc etc. It's the nature of message boards. Throw something out there and discuss the possibility of it. No one outside of The Dood is claiming actual knowledge of what is going on behind the scenes.
