i'm at a much different place in my life this time around. Whatever happens, happens.

This is DEFINITELY true for me.  I've grieved "this day" for over a decade.  I'm at peace with it.

The Texas/A&M sideshow is pretty entertaining. But, man, those people are so emotionally sensitive that it's also kind of annoying.

Yes, the sadist in me is rooting for that side show to take center stage.   :fatty:

How much more money do you think this blog could make as a KU basketball and KSU meat judging site?

I’m handling this worse than I expected.  It will have to be a straight CFB divorce for me.

What do you think will change so much that you quit?

The SEC Network will be a standalone $20 per month subscription service eventually.  The cord cutters and the move to ala carte TV selection will have vast swaths of the country opting out of paying for services that they don’t care about.   Carriage rights will have to go up to sustain the TV contracts.  Driving cord cutting and more expensive ala carte app driven viewership.

I'm on team Dax as to how this will look 10-15 years from now.  NCAA football product isn't getting better as a whole.

The first iteratation Big 12 was so freaking awesome. Just incredible how that fell apart.

Being in a hodgepodge leftover version of that conference bothers me more than being in a non power conference. Like, being in a hodgepodge MWC honestly seems preferable. Let the Big 12 die.

OU and Texas were just going through the motions with the Big 12 until us kids were old enough to move out and live on our own.

I'll also stop watching CFB entirely (probably basketball, too, once the NCAA falls apart and March Madness is gone). I don't think that is handling things poorly, though. I also don't watch minor league baseball. If college athletics is going to be a farm league for the pros that my school doesn't even participate in, then why the hell would I watch?

Agree, and as I said above, our small timey AD and coach are perfect for the MWC or whatever crap conference we end up in. Hell, most of our fanbase will absolutely love....love saying that they prefer having kids that "love the game" and "earn their scholarships", etc.

Does anyone else think that OU is the ugly chick Texas is bringing to the dance as cover?  Like Texas as a chick is hot, but stupid (big fan base, relative lack of success), and OU is the ugly but brainy BFF (football success, relatively small fan base)?

The fun of cfb for me is regional rivalries.  Like, I really enjoyed the K-State OSU/Baylor/Tech series.  I've watched all of those games since I was little.  If we're in a league with a bunch of low-profile strangers then i just really don't care.  As it is, I only ever watched Big 12 games.

If the conference survives survives and we just add a few new faces, i'm sure i'll still watch.  But if we're relegated to the MWC or something then i don't think i'll be able to muster any GAF to invest time or money.

I want Boise State, Colorado State and Houston...who else, UCF, USF?
I mainly only watch K-State anyways, I don't watch big 10 or SEC games, because I don't care.
Texas is never going to have "enough"...it's always more, more, more.

For me it's Arky, Nubbs, Houston and maybe a toss up between Memphis and Cinci
