We are not adding anyone.  Jesus.

We'll RE-ask to be allowed to have a championship game, and they'll grant it in the spirit of this new "don't tread on me" de-regulation in D1.   Then we'll start playing a championship game.  Rear view mirror for the rest of the conference and 1998 for the rest of Baylor and TCU fans' lives.

I doubt we would get anyone good and I don't want our conference watered down with garbage teams.

As we should, we'll do what our Texas overlords want (with some input from Oklahoma). They may decide they would get in the same situation or that the field will be expanded to eight by the time they're a contender and decide to hold'em. Very much doubt there's much grief on their part that BU, TCU got screwed.

10 is great, it's even better in basketball

Yeah, 14 teams this season in basketball is garbage.  It feels weird.  I don't like playing Rutgers and Nebraska in hoops.  Yuck.  Maryland isn't bad, but it's still unnatural. 
My prescience is fully engorged.  It throbs with righteous accuracy.  I am sated.

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

They got screwed out of money, so they should have a little grief.

We aren't even discussing this if FSU hasn't won something like 27 straight games.

The committee hates the ACC. They've crap on them, all year.  But FSU is in because they just won't lose.

There are three power conferences and two semi power conferences.  The ACC got a team in because FSU is undefeated and defending champs.  If FSU had lost one game this year they would have been outside looking in.

Yeah, most years the ACC would be rightfully locked out. But undefeated, defending NC  :dunno:
Still have Notre Dame, tho, who gets even more gifts shots than OSU. Any year they have one loss, they're in, too.

The divisions would be gross, we would have a conference schedule that includes 8 of 9 teams and the CCG would be rematches every single year. Gross.

I think today might mark the biggest threat to the big 12.  Bigger than the longhorn network.  As soon as any conf sniffs 16 teams I thing were looking at the destruction of our conference if we dont act first.   The committee just sent a clear message that rankings and record dont matter, its about names and associations.

We don't need a championship game. We just need to make sure Iowa state plays Kansas the last week of the season, every year

I don't see that as necessarily a threat. It's pretty much conventional wisdom, Texas, OU get in with Baylor or TCU's resumes. On the other hand, go look at who Shaggybevo greets the idea of adding and sharing money with Memphis, Cincy.

It may be a threat because schools and conferences have shown to be panicky and reactionary and may do something stupid.

Exactly.  Texas can go anywhere or be an indy team.  The rest of us just got emphatically mushed.  Hell OU with all the criticism they have taken because of their bowl record should look over their backs because the bottom line is, its in a fly over state with no TVs.

which is why they were looking at combos to go to the PAC and still couldnt make it work.  Its not dumb, its numbers.  If OU was a national brand they could have  dragged OSU into the PAC. They are decent to good at most sports programs.  The academic excuse is just absurd.   The bottom line is value added.

Clarification, im not saying OU wouldn't end up in a power 4 conference.  I'm saying as soon as they see a cherry deal its on.

I'd even be willing to let them name their rivalry game Farmageddon if they agree to schedule the final weekend every year.
