What does the possibility of CU leaving do to the Big 12?

hmm. Would hate it if Utah joined the PAC 10 but would only be mildly bummed if CU did. CU would be more at home academically with the likes of USC, UCLA, UWash, etc. They definitely belong with the elite.

The article states that if CU were to leave, BYU would be the likely candidate to fill their slot in the Big 12.  That seems odd to me considering the distance.  Colorado State would seem a more logical choice in some ways, but is CSU really too small to carry their own weight in the Big 12?  (TV sets, enrollment, revenue contribution, sports competitiveness, etc.)

BYU will never join the Big 12.

there isn't a single south team that'd join the north anyone who says so is dumb beyond belief there will never be a split of TX OU in football then there are rivalries w/ the other schools people wouldn't want to break up. if a North team leaves ie CU to Pac10 MU to Big 10 we'll add a team and they will be in the north division no matter where there geographic location is  :rolleyes:

I actually think we should go back to a Big 8. Not 'the' Big 8 but the way it should be now. Would require a complicated shift but in the end, CU could be with the rest of the west coast academic/cultural elite, ISU could get back to old rivalries in the MVC, KU to the Southland Conf., Missouri with the new Big 14, etc. Everybody would be where they fit in. :flush:

The Big 12 adds TCU, and Oklahoma goes to the Big 12 North.

Why add Oklahoma when Oklahoma State is the northern-most South school?   :dunno:  If we're going to do away with geographical logic, then it's time for a massive overhaul of alignment.

The article states that if CU were to leave, BYU would be the likely candidate to fill their slot in the Big 12.  That seems odd to me considering the distance.  Colorado State would seem a more logical choice in some ways, but is CSU really too small to carry their own weight in the Big 12?  (TV sets, enrollment, revenue contribution, sports competitiveness, etc.)

Colorado State does not have the facilities, resources, or financial backing to join the Big 12.  They're struggling just to keep up with the schools in the Mountain West.

Colorado and Missouri appear to be the two most likely candidates to leave, which is probably why they're always the ones discussed whenever this topic rolls around again.  They each have a "natural" geographical fit with another major conference.

TCU would be an obvious candidate to join the Big 12.  People like to throw Arkansas out there, but I don't see any way they leave the SEC.  Memphis could be an intriguing option, especially if the conference wanted to move to an East/West alignment.  Memphis would be a nice, if not huge, TV market to bring into the conference. 

Texas' desire to leave the Big 12 will always be complicated by the other Texas schools.  Remember that the only way the Big 12 was allowed by Texas politicos was by including Baylor.  aTm, Tech, and Baylor have enough clout to probably ensure that Texas doesn't leave them screwed with the remaining Big 12 schools.

Also, somewhat unclear why UT would want to relinquish the amount of control/influence/dominance they have over Big 12 to move to Pac-10/SEC.

if the big 12 ever needs more schools, memphis and louisville make sense.  tcu brings nothing to the big 12.  the big 12 brings nothing to arkansas.  expanding west makes no sense.

KK nails it on Texas . . . they won't have anywhere close to the control outside of the Big 12.

Arkansas isn't leaving the SEC. 

Missouri clamors for the Big 10, because everytime they look in the mirror they say underachievement, and they want a new mirror.

They bring a new TV market.  Much bigger deal than adding a decent team in a market the Big 12 already dominates.

Memphis is going to the Big East once Pitt goes to the Big 10.  Seriously, TCU is a no-brainer to the Big 12 if Colorado leaves.  Oklahoma moves to the North and competes with Texas in the Big 12 title instead of battling it out in the Big 12 South.  You can take it to the bank.

Yes, I think they like playing each other every year very much.  Can you imagine the meltdown from the boosters of both schools if they stopped the rivalry?  You may personally prefer to run away from challenges (deleting your account/ disappearing for months at a time) but not everyone is a giant pussy like you.

Louisville and Memphis make absolutely no sense, especially geographically.  Nice to know you cling to sys' nutsack like an in-grown nut hair, though.  

Not an evaluation of sys's intelligence so much as yours.

TCU has an enrollment of less than 9000.  They have a basketball team that is 11-13 in the MWC that plays in an arena that seats just over 7000.

Their football team is good, but they would not improve the conference's leverage in TV negotiations in the slightest.  They can't even come close to selling out the stadium they have, so no new revenue there.

In other words sys was right on.  TCU brings nothing to the table for the Big 12.  They would make for a terrible addition.  


Looking east makes sense, as population density is much higher in that direction.  Increases leverage for TV contracts, puts Big 12 schools in front of new recruiting areas.

As for how much geographic sense it makes, WGAF?

Not really one of our priorities, but feel free to post this in the suggestion board.  


You've got certain posters who basically ruin threads because of their inability to talk sports with a KU fan.

The worst part about having to start this new site is not having instant access to the archived threads of your meltdowns.  Seems like putting a system in place that would address your concern would run counter fixing that problem and having some of our own BMW meltdown threads here.  Also, there's plenty of good sports and non-sports talk with ku fans here already (42 dumbstick, et al).

already have Baylor.  don't need more religious nuts in TCU.

l'ville and 'mphis would be awesome  

Only know one TCU alum but he's pretty damn cool.  Known him for years and I don't believe I've ever heard him mention church.  Now, the Baylor alums I know are an entirely different story.  I get it, you love God.  Geez, enough already.

Hey, I came over here because I was invited by Steve Dave.  If you guys are going to be a bunch of douchebags, that's your choice.  Have fun with 42yardstick and all those other KU fans you forgot to mention.

I'll step in here and let you girls cool down a little.

I believe that both OU and Texas get additional Stipends on the RRR game because it is sponsored by Doctor Pepper.   

In fact, I believe an extremely lucrative deal was put together for that game to keep it from going back to the campuses as the schools threatend to do about 4 or 5 years ago.



Not sponsored by Dr. P, it's sponsored by SBC/AT&T.

Would Colorado State be a possible addition to the Big 12? :dunno:

Check the first page of this thread, friend.  Short answer:  no.

If the Red River Rivalry is so precious to OU and Texas, perhaps they could play it as a non-conference game on the off years.  I don't know if there's any rule against this in the Big 12 or NCAA. 

Still think Oklahoma State would be the more logical choice to move to the North, though.  Really think OU would be against it, since so many of their players come from Texas.  (Not that OSU's don't, but OU probably more likely to get its way, + the geographic factor).

if both CU and Mizzou leave i say we make a run at both Utah and BYU, if only Colorado then i say maybe Tulsa  :confused: or possibly Memphis. If Mizzou leaves i say  we go hard at BYU jmo

Dude, play a conference team in a non-conference game?  Are you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)?

The obvious solution would be realignment.  Scrap the "north" and "south" idea, and create 2 new divisions.

But it doesn't matter, because no schools are leaving anytime soon.  IF the Big 10 adds a team, then there might be changes made all across the country, but not until then.

TT to the north makes sense to me, they aren't close to anyone (neither is CU) and they are probably just as far north (give or take) as either OK school.  They have no big rivalry (maybe aTm)?

Not a bad idea.   I didn't realize how far north Lubbock is.  Wouldn't be any farther of a trip for KSU than the trip to Boulder.  Would kinda suck for ISU and Nubb, though.
