I think the dismantling of the Big Twelve is inevitable. There will be four power conferences (16 teams each) with an eight team playoff and the two top schools from each conference are in. Period.

Texas schools to Pac 12

Oklahoma schools to SEC

Kansas schools to Big 10

WVU to ACC

Bread, I asked you yesterday on the BB board what the eff Rutgers brings to the big 10. Syracuse, I could kind of understand.

Just a little town called New York city.

Maybe people will wise up and figure out bigger conference are worse and we go back to 8 team conferences. Have a power 8 and a 8 team playoff that will technically be 16 because of championship games.

That would be essentially the same as five sixteen team leagues except the divisions would be their own league. Either works but it's clear an uneven number of leagues with an even number of playoff berths does not and will not work.

Having two big divisions unbalances schedules and ruins the conference. To be completely honest 9 teams might be better became that you can have an even spilt of home and road games. I believe Big Ten West and the SEC East are ruining college football.

Pete, put a pot of coffee on.  This thing is going to see some action in the coming months.

So much fun!

How are big conferences worse? All of the big conferences are represented in the playoffs. All of the small conferences (namely, us) are shut out of the playoffs. How could any conference look at that and think to themselves, 'hmmm, we need to get smaller'?

They provide a much worse fan experience.

There are no teams out there worth taking and no team is going to leave their conference for the lowly Big Twelve.

We should add a couple of super small timey teams just to get to twelve teams and have a championship game. We pay them an amount that's like a tenth of what the other schools are paid yet ten times what they're currently paid. If they decide they don't like it, I'm sure there are other small timey teams who would be happy to take their place. Problem solved.

I like the double round robin for bball and the round robin for football. I done want to give that up for a CCG. I say we stand pat at 10.

Also they don't get any home games

Yeah, they just announced they're having the men's bb tournament at MSG in 2018.  Desperately want on cable providers out there.

Yeah, I like the round robin more than I care about Big 12 teams making the playoffs.

Can we kick WV out and make San Diego State, BYU and Colorado state our small timey teams? I really dont like anything about WV. They seem dirty, smelly, non competitive and no one else likes them. Our new partners have beaches and mountains and stuff.

Why would we want divisions.  We could have the two best teams play each other for the CCG.  This year Baylor and TCU could prove who's the best.  That way we keep our round robin in FB and "one true champion".
