Non-Key Tweets

KU has been in the big 12, as it continues to be, but if the B1G wanted them KU would have left in a heartbeat. The Big Ten didn’t want KU because they lack sufficient value. Nothing has really changed.

Today agree - no conference wants to add another mouth to feed and having to take a pay cut to do it. Unless, the added school is a significantly strategic addition. Kansas is not that. Neither is UConn at the moment unfortunately. Time marches on.

The SEC would certainly trade South Carolina for Clemson
but adding Clemson with South Carolina doesn’t seem like an SEC move . The only states with two teams will be Texas and Tennessee. Vanderbilt was always an odd fit., but they‘re legacy and would never be considered for addition today,nor would they be dumped.
They just told Texas A&M to take a walk if they didn’t want Texas.
so South Carolina wasn’t the issue .
I think the B1G screwed up Big Time in not adding Texas
I realize Okla is repugnant to the Powers in that conference
but Texas plus Kansas would have been great for Nebraska, and Iowa. Apparently they lack leadership at the moment.

Am I missing something with Alabama and Auburn?
Ole Miss and Miss St?

This Renaissance of the non key tweets has made me a fan of Texas and OU. I didn’t realize how much I missed the non key tweets before the dry up a few years ago.

Why would the Big 10 or PAC 12 add a school at this time? The way consumers view content is rapidly changing and how we value the media value of schools is changing. Would the Big 10 have added Rutgers in today’s cable cord cutting world?

Texas and Oklahoma were no brainer adds for the SEC. Any school that is available now will be available in 5 to 10 years so why add more schools not named Notre Dame to a conference?

Why does the B1G need to weaken its financial package to respond to the SEC? It makes no sense.

BIG can offer partial share and make it viable.

Just thinking out loud. Can leagues offer base payout and include incentive laden payouts targeting football performance? Based on in-league wins, league championships, etc? Much like the NCAA bball approach.

There are reports circulating that the B12 minus UT & OK is worth half what it currently receives and that there are no B12 schools worth adding to the PAC in it's current configuration.

Yet, we're supposed to believe that Kansas is the school that will move the needle for the B1G?

IF, the B1G decides to expand it will not be with Kansas. Kansas has been the bitch of UT & OK for years. Now that those 2 are leaving Kansas all of a sudden grows muscles?

B1G has a huge perception of being a weak sister to the SEC in football right now. It was a weak sister already and now it's even weaker. Adding Kansas indeed reinforces the idea that B1G football is really weak, relatively.

It would be the exact opposite of what the B1G should be trying to do right now, which is to add USC and UCLA.

At the end of the day, the SEC had a unique opportunity to expand and grow its brand without diluting the product. There are no options readily available for the other conferences to do the same

Pac12 presidents voted today and approved the league moving forward with exploring the financial benefits of merging or aligning with the B12 remnants. The vote was unanimous

Say what?

This is the biggest loser move in the history of college sports?

Are you kidding me?

Good thing this dude is a fraud. That would be a dumb move by the Pac.

Why even bother with football at this point? In the last 20 years the top team was from the $EC other than that one random Ohio State championship a decade ago, and the ones from Florida State and Texas in the early 2000s.

I think Clemson ACC snuck in there also

Pretending for a minute that MH ver3 is not full of it... what would the harm being in exploring the financial value of the move, in fact the conference should absolutely do it.

There is no financial value add from any move to merge the conferences. If we can get free home and home schedule deals with the leftovers we can consider it for the savings. Exploration over.

The BE or UConn is one thing. I'd love to see us play Kansas.

The Pac10 would be associating themselves with something going under though.
