yeah, openly discussed the idea of BCS schools forming coalitions (something like that, can't remember his exact wording)

Snyder talking now from link

Twitter said that individual sports may look at creating federations for each sport, whatevs that means.

Also said that there are way too many D1 schools and it is just wasting kids and taxpayer's money.

Said that abandoning the NCAA is not what everyone wants to do, but is a remaining last resort.

Reading between the tweets, it basically was him saying that the NCAA is mumped, needs to change immediately, that all the major programs agree on this, that a select few of programs are cheating their asses off with no repercussions, and that all the big programs wouldn't mind leaving and forming a different org if it doesn't change.

It seemed very much so to be a very public and vocal challenge to the NCAA.

To add to this, Bowlsby said that there are 70 schools that win 90 percent of the championships in the NCAA and, “We have a bunch of others that don't look like the others yet are trying to compete.” He added that he believed it was time to think about federation by size (sorry, TCU) and scope and perhaps by sport.

Let the SEC secede (get it) and that should solve everything.

uh...so where does KSU fit into that projection of 70 teams?

In the context Bowlsby is using, KSU would be division 2 football. KU would probably be division 3 or 4.

Terrible idea. Too confusing. Just put us in Conference Elite and be done with it.

timhawk thread

Yeah, it's frustrating what the next 12 pages are going to become. Really need a Timhawk Stuff thread in the pit to keep threads like this readable and at very least moderately dumbass free.

I know a thread that it could go to. Nobody uses that crap hole anymore. http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=16306.0

Can we get back to talking about how the logo highlights the conference's conservative philosophy and also pays tribute to OU?

Super PurpleCat · « **Reply #20 on:** July 22, 2013, 11:29:20 AM »

Hold on, did we etch any "old" Big XII logos on the new Cats Town Hall?

Charlie is struggling to breathe. Did he just run a couple miles or is he wheezing this bad just sitting there? It is over a breath a sentence.
