New/Old Bowl Game for the Big 12

[Shacks]

So we will see which conference has the most crock, if it is played in Texas the Big 12 is the best, if it is in Sugar it looks like SEC wins this round.

The SEC now has a school in Texas so not necessarily

And the Big 12 has 4.  I crunched the numbers.  4 > 1

Curveball for both conferences and have the game in California

They should build a 100,000 seat stadium directly on the border with Louisiana and Texas. That would be cool

Upgrade Arrowhead to 100K capacity and play it there.  KC is an equal Big 12 SEC border.

Nebraska is on a suicide watch........

I bet this is part of the deal where Slive agrees to let us pillage FSU and Clemson without interfering.

[WildcatNkilt]

I'd put it on the boarder of TX and FL

I imagine a stadium in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, with a giant bridge from Texas and one from Florida.

Notre Dame is in a very bad position.  There are now only 8 spots in the big money games instead of the 10 BCS spots.  And they are locked out of the bottom 4 of those spots.

Or they can join one of the 4 power conferences.

Feels good.

[jmlynch1]

Tell me why Notre Dame won't go big 10? Tier 3?

Arrowhead is a giant turd and needs to be demolished

There's going to be a parade, isn't there?

Lost in the hoopla of the deal is the significance of the deal............and the significance isn't that the ACC has been squeezed out of having a big time post season partnership. The significance is that this bowl will be the very first conference-owned bowl. Every bowl in the country is owned and operated by that specific bowl. The Rose Bowl, for instance, has a partnership with the Pac-12 & Big Ten, but they are a separate entity. They aren't owned by the Pac-12 or Big Ten. And, that goes for all other bowls.

With this move, the Big XII and SEC are attempting to start their own bowl. It's literally the first bowl that is fully separated from the bowl system. So, whereas the Orange Bowl could decide to sign contracts to host other conferences, this yet to be named bowl will be fully internalized w/in the Big XII and SEC. It'll take some time to shop all of the parts of the bowl.........location, tv, etc. (It won't start until 2015.) But, the expectation is the payout will be the largest in bowl history, and that includes the current BCS. Now, the Big XII and SEC have taken the guess work out of bowl season. They've essentially guaranteed a huge payout to their teams in addition to the playoff payout, and they've guaranteed they will never have to face one of the weak, unattractive (for TV) teams from a lesser league.

Major, major power play, and it just put those two conferences on another level from everyone else, including the Big Ten and Pac-12. As if the Big XII wasn't attractive enough for FSU and others, think about having a guaranteed $20M+ payday for your #3 team (obviously divided amongst the conference), on top of having 2 in the playoffs making even more."

good post.  also, eff yeah.

This is no doubt the precursor to the Cotton Bowl being elevated to BCS status and the dropping of the Orange Bowl. Beems will be pissed.

This bowl means that there is no more rough ridin' BCS.

Isn't it just a 4 team playoff being considered? How would one conference get 2 in?

This is a HUGE rough ridin' deal.

We are rough ridin' the old system directly into it's anus hole.


The best part is that we (SEC/Big 12) are going to put this rough rider OUT TO BID!  No Bowl cronies siphoning off cash.  All the cash go to us. 

[Katpappy]

It's only a big deal if this bowl game goes ahead and takes the next available team from each conference like the Rose Bowl does. There has never been a season in the BCS era where both the Big 12 and SEC haven't had a champion outside of the top 4.

2001. Unranked Colorado upset Texas in the Big XII Title game. #7 LSU upset #4 Tennessee in the SEC title game.

Colorado finished #3 that year.

How in the fack is that possible?  Colorado is unranked at end of season, but somehow moves up 23 spots to 3rd by winning CCG & Bowl game.  This is why the BCS rankings are bullshit and should not be used for ranking.

So that means we wouldn't vote for Conference Champions only being allowed in, allowing ND to keep their position outside of a football conference
