Possible Big 12 Invite rumors

[August_West]

Please shut this down, Can we get one put up as we get new info and rumors ?

Not being a pest but when I come home from work I'd prefer to read info and rumors and not opinions or conversation

I know this will upset those with opinions but I'm sure many others feel the same.

Ive got hard news. The Big12 is playing us to get what they actually want.

An actual reporter runs a story and the most respected college sports reporter west of the Rockies retweets it. Or we can believe butthurt Big 12 fans who don't like the story. We will know soon enough who is right.

None of Wilner, Canzano, Scheer, or Dodd are very reputable anymore.

Why click on the thread then?

We click on the thread because the title is Possible Big 12 invite rumors. Not how did Penn State do in football, and if I read it correctly the OP was talking about Penn State basketball and their losing their coach.

When you click on a thread, any thread, you take your chances.

Top of the thread click ignore.

I think that would be bad at the moment

I think he meant so they'd pass out and stop arguing ..

Understandable, but once a thread reaches say …..90 PAGES!, you can pretty safely assume that it’s not all breaking news

Lew stated cleatI

It would have if not for the idiots in charge who slept in when realignment was happening and UConn was left behind when the ACC took Louisville instead

 

[That Guy]

The best part of all this B12 discussion is Houston and UCF fans acting all high and mighty like their athletics are somehow above ours. We literally get no respect for how great our overall athletics are because football has been a dumpster fire for the last decade. The list of completely mediocre schools I've seen mentioned that people would want in the B12 instead of ours is pure COMEDY.

Because I follow my school information is why

When/if there’s breaking news trust me you will know before you even go on this thread, as I’m sure the thread title would change.

You understand that if anything happens there will surely be a new thread the second it happens, right?

Just use a little self control and don't click on the thread

Penn State football went 11-2 last year. Their only losses were @ #5 Michigan and to #2 Ohio State at home. They won the Rose Bowl beating #8 Utah.

And this is your example of a school that has trouble recruiting?

Maybe you didn't understand what I wrote. They have trouble recruiting AA basketball players, and some football players.

This is pretty well known.

I don't know why you find this odd.

11-2 seasons are par for the course for PSU football.

But you never know if that next post is going to be breaking news.

I’ve been here for 20+ years, you get used to scrolling through the thread. Occasionally someone has information or color that is great…it might be weeks depending on the subject. I actually find it comical and entertaining when the thread pages get to this level…I imagine a poster typing like they had a typewriter…bang bang bang…getting angry. Good luck

Guilty as charged I guess.

The premise of the preceding discussion was that Penn State didn’t care about basketball. I took your post to imply that their lack of success on the hardwood wasn’t that they didn’t care, but rather because they had trouble recruiting athletes to a largely white campus in the middle of nowhere.

Ignoring the obvious irony of this position coming from someone that supports a successful basketball team from a largely white campus in the middle of nowhere, I attempted to demonstrate that they could indeed recruit athletes.

Now you seem to concede that they can indeed recruit football athletes (no big deal because after all, kicking but in football is just what they do) but, notwithstanding the similarities to UConn, they can’t attract basketball athletes. (because there is an obvious, and inherent difference between basketball and football athletes?)

Do I have this right?

Not 20?

You've never been to Georgetown? It's in a city that is half African-American.

As usual, you don't know WTF you're talking about

I didn't realize UConn had so few black students.

At PSU it's a notorious problem. It's been as low as 2% recently.

Centre Cty is just so far from anywhere. Storrs is not isolated at all by comparison

I'm glad you have Greta facilities. I'm sure she appreciates them.

Fwiw, this is what I fortune on PC mens basketball total revenues:

The Providence men’s basketball program paid out $12,448,442 in expenses while making $12,448,442 in total revenue

So, if total revenues are 12.5 million how could ticket sales be 20 million? We know that providence college makes one about 4 1/2 million from Big East distributions. So that would seem to be no more than $8M in ticket sales, right? Probably less because I would think you get revenue from your uniform deal, right? And then there is your various Branding contracts, sales of merchandise etc. anyway how much is Cooley getting now $6M? I guess that worked out for the best, because you guys really couldn't afford him.
