This is our best hope

KU/ISU go to the Big, WVU to ACC. Baylor joins the AAC.

Are we mumped? I hope we have been kissing the Pac-12's ass the past 24hrs.

Current calculation:

Totally mumped (left behind, complete laughingstock): 20%

I get that this is mostly about football, but why would the PAC want us over the national hoops champion Baylor Bears.

Religion. TCU would be at risk as well, except they bring Dallas market.

A large political figure could do some damage if they claim UT/OU move opens the door for leftist ideologies into red states. Texas is already politically vulnerable. The thought of two large Universities consistently influenced from liberal west coast may stir the pot.

What would motivate the Big 10 to take those 2? I don't think there would be enough extra money to justify adding them.

Doesn't Iowa say no about adding ISU?

I wonder when KSU is going to say something publicly. It's not like it's a big secret that we're in deep crap.

We probably are taking the approach that we will find our new president first, and then have him call the Pac 12 offices to see if they want us.

eff conferences. k-state needs to go the independent route. stream all games through a premium subscription offered through the university's athletics site, then schedule a bunch of reckless big games against perennial powers and bluebloods to add exposure, TV opportunity, etc - home, away, neutral, wherever. everyone will laugh and say it won't work. k-state will be a national laughingstock. but it beats standing against the fence like losers while all the other superior programs in bigger markets get picked before you do. and k-state might not get picked anyway.

Yeah, replace TCU w/ KU and that’s your winner imo.

damn, even if k-state got 50k subs at $100/year that's only $5 mill.

hopefully they can sell some ads.

Thought the BIG10 could look to pull from the ACC if it wanted the smarty schools too - hasn't there been talk of them courting North Carolina and Virginia or something? While ISU fits their AAU desires, it doesn't bring any new markets for tv $$, which I thought was the whole point of this. Maybe the ACC has teams locked up better?

I'm fully on the PAC 16/18/20 train, but this is a good read in case you're thinking about worst case scenarios...

Spoiler: The AAC wins by a large margin, but those road trip locations are gross and I hate them.

For OU, it was really all about getting kickoffs pushed later than 11 AM.

Which is hilarious given the SEC has the more permanent 11AM kickoff time slots than the Big 12 and that's likely to increase with this deal. ESPN will use the Longhorn Network as the SEC Network 2 and that will be another 11 AM timeslot because ESPN loves them too.

DQ12 · « **Reply #30974 on:** July 23, 2021, 05:21:29 PM »

OU has had a total of 4 11 am home kicks in the last two years. it's the dumbest crap ever.
