Is UCF “southern” culturally?
If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.
Jesse NewellFri, September 10, 2021, 7:28 PMKansas athletic director Travis Goff said Friday was “clearly a good day for the Big 12” in announcing four new members, but he remained noncommittal when it came to KU’s potentially pursuing other leagues in the future.Goff, who spoke to reporters at Brooks Stadium about a half-hour before KU’s road game against Coastal Carolina, was asked whether Friday’s Big 12 news potentially stops other conversations while pursuing what’s best for KU.“No. The beauty of it is, is when you think about being focused on what’s best for Kansas, that applies to anything we do,” Goff said. “It applies to conference affiliation. It applies to what we’re trying to achieve in our programs. It applies to the financial strength. It applies to fans and alumni engagement.“And so regardless of all those dynamics, we stay centered and I believe more focused on what’s best for KU. What’s best for KU should be what drives us forward in whatever environment it is.”Goff went on to speak about the importance of KU improving its stock in football before circling back to talk about the athletic department’s future.“What’s best for Kansas doesn’t change regardless of conference discussion or speculation,” Goff said. “It’s still what’s best for KU, and it still puts us in the most positive, strengthened position we can be in the league we’re in most importantly, and for all the unknowns that are out there.”Goff also was later asked if the Big 12 adding four teams “doesn’t close the door” on KU looking at something different in the future for conference play.“Two months ago, nobody knew what was happening. So for us, it’s all about what we know. And what we know is we’ve got to get better in a variety of fashions,” Goff said. “And we have the most potential I think — I’m biased — but I think as much or more potential as any other A5 (Automatic 5), Power Five athletics program in the country. So that’s where we’re focused.”Goff wasn’t shy about discussing the potential negative budget ramifications that will come from the league losing Texas and Oklahoma.

How comfortable are we that the league will remain at 12? The KU AD is talking crap about conference revenues, and how KU doesn't belong in a shitty revenue environment.https://www.yahoo.com/news/ku-jayhawks-athletic-director-travis-002816516.htmlQuoteJesse NewellFri, September 10, 2021, 7:28 PMKansas athletic director Travis Goff said Friday was “clearly a good day for the Big 12” in announcing four new members, but he remained noncommittal when it came to KU’s potentially pursuing other leagues in the future.Goff, who spoke to reporters at Brooks Stadium about a half-hour before KU’s road game against Coastal Carolina, was asked whether Friday’s Big 12 news potentially stops other conversations while pursuing what’s best for KU.“No. The beauty of it is, is when you think about being focused on what’s best for Kansas, that applies to anything we do,” Goff said. “It applies to conference affiliation.

There have been similar rumblings at WVU, which wants in the ACC. Yeah, maybe not a candidate today, but like KU, further movement in realignment may bring that day.

Both fan bases have convinced themselves they are here to save the Big 12 and they will act like that for eternity even though they were just a couple of years ago both programs were bringing in literally couch cushion money in television revenue.Here we gohttps://www.deseret.com/2021/9/10/22666176/big-12-needed-byu-cougars-more-than-byu-needed-itThey can't help themselves. If they didn't have a conference and this Big/PAC/ACC scheduling alliance thing happens they would have been mumped. Did this person forget that they played in the Boca Raton Bowl like 9 months ago? I had to take to twitter for this one.

What about making them play all their conference games on the road? Seriously, could that be done?

BYU people are lazy. I feel bad saying it because it’s a stereotype but I talk to hundreds of people in my industry every year and it’s known if you went to BYU you aren’t going to do what it takes to succeed. Not sure what’s behind that but it’s real. Anyway, eff Baylor.
I want to be as petty as we can. Like OU and UT play each other 9 times in their own 2 team division kind of petty.

Texas is in no shape to actually compete to finish top 2 in this conference by next year.
