The original Big 12 lineup was AMAZING. It's depressing to know that it will never be nearly that good again. The Big 10 and SEC are now also worse than they were before by adding teams that no one GAF about. This was all a mistake.

It really was  :cry:. The only swap I would make is Arkansas for Baylor

I feel bad killing off Texas Tech but I've never been to Lubbock and don't really care about Texas Tech.  RaiderPower provides decent gems.

I can't disagree too much. North is perfect. Any two of the three of A&M, TCU and Tech will suffice.

So basically you've taken the OG BIG XII and traded Baylor for Pig Aggy? That'd be a dream. Needs more WVU, though.

Yeah, hard pass on Land Thief Aggie/Texas as our cross division rival every year.

In your dream scenario there will probably only be 1 cross division rival. I want Meth Aggie(will probably go to bball aggie) but will settle for TBoone Aggie.

If we had 2 cross division games I would take TBoone Aggie and Aggie Aggie. (Meth Aggie would get bball aggie and Illinois (Orange Aggie?)).

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I'll also point out that streaming deals with a conference like the Big 12 is risky given the number of people in the conference without access to high speed internet. That's the biggest issue with the ESPN+ set up. Apple TV subscriptions could be problematic for rural folks in the plains.

that's a tiny number of people

ESPN+ sucks with freaking fiber for reasons we've discussed ad nauseam

According to the FCC 1/4 of rural americans don't have high speed internet access. Having just escaped living in rural america, and currently vacationing in rural america, I believe it. I also believe that percentage is greater in the south, midwest, and appalachia than rural areas on the coasts.

I didn't realize it was that high but you'd be surprised how isolated things can be on the rural west coast at least.

My folks always had a pretty forward thinking local telecom company that was like running fiber through rural Kansas in the nineties so I don't have a good sense outside of that. I figured at least dsl was available in most places in rural Kansas and Oklahoma

When he gets that going I am seriously considering moving to Northern Minnesota for half the year. The broadband up there is terrible between those beautiful little lakes.

yup, this was dependent on if it was a local telco or a larger company like southwestern bell, at least in NC Kansas. Our local telco was using that FCC money to lay Fiber everywhere. My brother lives on the family farm 10 miles from town(500 people) and has fiber to his house. Neighbors who unfortunately aren't in the same exchange are stuck using wireless off the damn water tower.

My girlfriend's family has internet from a local telcom in Northeast KS (15 minutes from Nebraska and 45 minutes from St Joe. Missouri) get like 5mbps down and 1 mbps up. They have direct tv and want nothing more to cancel cable and stream.

They are the 1/4 that hate ESPN+
