I can understand the allure of the SEC. It'd be like... if you thought you were going to get Matt Painter as your new MBB coach.

I'm going to guess 14. Missouri probably knows what's going to happen tomorrow, the SEC probably knows what's going to happen tomorrow, and the Missouri BoC meeting is probably a formality.

The Big East is doing what it can to heal itself and fortify. They're talking about raising exit fees and expansion. My guess is that the SEC moves quickly to go get them as soon as Missouri announces that it's staying in the Big 12.

So, a 14 team SEC means 6 divisional games and 3 against the other division, right? I like that model. We need to get to 14.

catzacker · « **Reply #15005 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:01:59 PM »

so, like, if Mu decides to stay...talking point from them? "we got texas to concede on a number of items...you're welcome, big 12" ? I dunno. If they don't go to the SEC, I mean, Gary is gone to tOSU after this year. And then Alden gets canned and then Deaton next.

Keep MU, add Louisville, Cinn, USF, TCU and Houston/SMU? I would do it. I do that hard. No beer or anything. Not even just the tip.

jtksu · « **Reply #15007 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:06:30 PM »

crap, there would be 7 teams in the other division. Damn, didn't even think about that, crap would be complicated.

Yep.

Though....I'd prefer Air Force or Boise to SMU/UH.

I like Boise a lot. Their rise to national prominance is an amazing story.

Originally a junior college, Boise State's football program moved up to the NCAA in 1968 as an independent in Division II (then "College Division"), and joined the Big Sky Conference in 1970. In 1978, the Broncos and the Big Sky moved up to the new Division I-AA (renamed FCS in 2006) and BSU won its first national championship two years later. In 1996, the Broncos joined the Big West Conference and moved up to Division I-A (now FBS.)

My debbie downer side says we need to get UH in the league and up and running strong for when UT leaves us. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Boise would fail cause big bad BigXII doesnt allow partial qualifiers. and seriously, if youre letting in Boise go ahead and open the doors up to Vegas and UNLV in.

can you imagine the road trips? hell i would just be super stoked to have BigXII teams coming to vegas ll the time!

Honestly, I can't recall ever seeing Boise's basketball team before. Hope their court is bright rough ridin' blue. Also, I'm totally down with having a super pansy on our MBB schedule. When else are we going to see the crowd cheer for some white walk-on from a town in KS that I've never heard of?

jtksu · « **Reply #15016 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:39:53 PM »

Bet the AFA MBB team sucks balls. Pretty sure you can only be a certain height to attend the academy, and it's not very tall.

Pete · « **Reply #15017 on:** October 03, 2011, 08:40:36 PM »

I have no inside knowledge, but if Mizzou stays, it would seem likely to me that BYU comes in first....then MAYBE others.

Agree with A-lish, Vegas and SDSU are just as far as Boise and there are recruits in those markets

Yeah, I remember hearing about how he had to get some sort of special clearance because the cadets (or whatever) are supposed to be short enough to work in subs. It's entirely possible I'm just totally wrong about the academies' requirements.

Panjandrum · « **Reply #15024 on:** October 03, 2011, 09:01:38 PM »

There is a lot of fire on Twitter right now about WVU leaving the Big East and the Big East being dead.

I don't find that to be a coincidence that this is all going down the night before the MU Curators meet.
