Guys, if Baylor was named Waco I wouldn't want them either.  Naming your school after a city sounds so small timey.

that's true but nobody wants baylor when their name is baylor either.  poor example.

Well like what if we were Manhattan University or Flint Hills College?  Is that a better example Steve Dave?

no, worse if anything

Fine yugo.

what would our mascot be if we were Flint Hills college?  the pussies?

Louisville is a big time woof and everyone knows it, some appear content to rationalize it.

Guys, come on...

[Stevesie60]

The big 12 needs to get currie involved in this somehow.  The guy has a knack for getting deals done and is just the sort of person we need to get FSU and Clemson into the fold.  Gitrdone.

I couldn't find a single university president or athletic director who had anything bad to say about Tulane.

This was an amazing post.

[Dr Rick Daris]

why would the big12 add a school (louisville or cincinnati) that would instantly be the most loser school in the entire conference? hint-they wouldn't.

you should talk to your friend in the l'ville AD about it then.  hint- you don't have one. 

[chum1]

I don't know what better options than L'ville there will be when we go to 16.  This is why none of you work in the Realignment Office.  Lack of vision.

i'd be shocked if louisville doesn't join our conference in the next 3-6 months

they bring a lot of the national prestige that our conference has been searching for, and a great fanbase too go along with it.

Here's a little newsflash from the resident dumbasses (a growing population here at goEMAW.com).

Louisville spends $25-30 million more a year on athletics than K-State does.   Louisville has a bigger football stadium than 4 Big 12 teams do, Louisville will have the biggest basketball arena in the Big 12 and it won't even be close.   

Louisville basketball generated more money in FY 2011 than ku and K-State FOOTBALL did . . . combined.

Louisville would step in with the 3rd largest athletic budget in the Big 12.

They may be rich, but they're gross/weird rich like Russell Brand.

Hey was the Louisville I watched (in person) at the Final Four this last year?  Frank was there too . . . in the stands.  BURN!

If there is one truth about conference realignment it is that basketball does not matter (unless you are the ACC)

[sonofdaxjones]

In terms of Strangeness and Redneck . . . Louisville couldn't touch IPTAY.  (most of you jack legs don't even know what that is).

k-state fans looking down on any athletic dept not found in the Jayhawk Conference is funny, i suppose.

I like Louisville.

ACC country sports coverage is saying FSU is just making waves to stir the ACC pot and get the conference more focused on football and paying more attention as to how the conference sets up the football schedule.   They are saying if the ACC adjusts, FSU ain't going anywhere.

[Panjandrum]

Every even number (save Nebraska) has been a crap addition:

Pac-12 #12: Utah
SEC #14: Missouri
Big 12 #10: West Virginia
ACC #14: Pitt or Syracuse, take your pick

It's hard to get schools to move.  You can convince one really good school to move, most of the time, then you have to go for ease of addition.  You need a school that has ample reason to move, has minimal political impediments, and has the resources to make the move.  We are floating WVU a lot of money, and we did that out of desperation.  We aren't desperate now.  We'd help a school like FSU because of the ridiculous buyout, and because they are a tremendous long-term investment, but if we're dead set on going to #12 right away, Lousiville is packaged up and ready to go.

It would behoove us to wait until Clemson has a new power structure in place (new AD will take charge in 2013), but again, will we wait that long?  Will the new AD want to move?  Also, how much better is Clemson than Louisville when you break everything out? Is it a lot or a little?

For the record, I want Clemson.  I'm lukewarm at best on Louisville.  I can rationalize it (as I can with most anything), but I'm only open to them if we get a blockbuster addition at #11.  But there is no way that we should ever reach out to them as an odd number.  Ever.

That's all fine and good until schools like Kansas State and Iowa State have upgraded their football stadiums and basketball arenas while FSU is still trying to figure out how to get money to help renovate the Tallahassee Civic Center while the football fans enjoy rousing season ticket packages where they play Wake Forest at home on a Friday night.
