Ku to big10 and us to P10 is fine by me

GoodForAnother · « **Reply #26426 on:** July 27, 2015, 07:22:26 PM »

losing rivalries is stupid. I don't want ku to leave. I also would much rather be in the big 10 than the losertown p12.

I'd like to start playing Nebraska again, but nothing else about it would excite me.

I have no idea why teams leave rivalries. Rivals are at least 90% of what makes sports fun.

Guys, schools don't care about your fun.

I honestly would prefer the SEC big 10 and ACC over the Pac in that order, but IDGAF where we end up or who is with us as long as we end up in a power conference.

Schedule KU in the noncon each year and beat them and I'll be fine if they go off to a different conference as long as we are in a P4/5 conf

They should. Modeling college football after the NFL doesn't make sense, at least as long as colleges expect alumni to care enough to donate $40 for stadium upgrades, libraries, etc. When was the last time you made a donation to the KC Chiefs?

You really think people would stop donating money if we remained in a power conference but didn't play ku? I don't think that at all, that's actually pretty crazy actually.

There is no question that the long term effect of destroying the traditions and rivalries associated with college football will-over time-decrease the amount of giving to colleges.

Is everyone really buying this story? The guy who wrote the article in the OWH also spent half of it talking crap on Texas. He's clearly butthurt still. I find him hard to believe.

Panjandrum · « **Reply #26438 on:** July 27, 2015, 11:21:57 PM »

KU/OU to the Big Ten all but guarantees us a spot in the PAC 12, assuming you buy into 4x16.

The second that would happen, UT, Tech, OSU, and KSU are on their way to the PAC within a week.

There would be a feeding frenzy on the Big 12 considering the ACC would be in GOR lockdown for two years. The ACC would take WVU, and ND would probably go full member. In two years, the SEC goes after a couple of ACC schools, and Cincy and ISU probably end up in the ACC. Baylor and TCU get screwed.

Obviously schools considered leaving and explored options but I don't buy that they were actively trying to leave.

Agreed, especially the reference to any notion that the big 10 would consider Iowa State as a member.

deputy dawg · « **Reply #26442 on:** July 28, 2015, 09:13:18 AM »

Iowa State is an AAU member, they'd be considered long before us given that all big 10 schools are (were, in case of Nub) are AAU institutions.

TheHamburglar · « **Reply #26443 on:** July 28, 2015, 12:55:39 PM »

The ACC/ND dynamic is getting interesting. One year after ND joins, at least five coaches (including FSU, Clem, VT, and well respected Duke coach) have said on ESPN carwash ND should have to play a 13th game to be eligible for playoff. No way all are taking this hard stance against their new semi-conference member without first discussing amongst themselves and touching base with the conference office.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #26444 on:** July 28, 2015, 01:42:33 PM »

Iowa State is a good school. They'd get a BiG look.

It does, but I don't think their administration would ever do it.
