I want to steal the fast growing mountain region from the PAC.



And accept nubb back into the fold. It’s pretty isn’t it?

Why’s Nevada in this?

Though I think I this scenario I’d be ok with UNR as a possibility if we could boot Baylor to the Sun Belt

UNR is the wrong school there, UNLV would be the more attractive addition in Nevada

The right answer is to skip over Nevada and pick up SDSU.  They are better in both football and basketball, and would be even better with a P5 affiliation.  Also opens up SoCal recruiting ground, not to mention a great roadie in November

That's hot.
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.

SDSU seems like they would be a good add.  I would’ve taken them over Houston and UCF.

That's a fun stat.

Also, without looking at the numbers (and wondering how Wes Miller will do at Cincy), I feel like the nu nu B12 will be a really damn good bball league, minus UCF.

It's been talked about I think in another thread but yes, it should make the basketball be even better. Texas hasn't done really anything or the better part of a decade, and now that Lonnie is gone at OU, like, I'm kinda not joking, does either school even care about basketball anymore?

I'm not entirely certain I'd go that far, but he's certainly better than his replacement at Tech, and lightyears ahead of the dweeb that we've got.

Yeah, SDSU and San Jose St would be my picks of the Cali schools if SJSU was actually good at anything, say like Fresno, which is unfortunately in the shithole of Fresno (gawk).

I presume this is good news as it buys time to keep SEC from a scheme to get an unjustified number of their conference members in the CFP.

And it kinda fucks the value proposition for OU and Texas trying to move early.

I would really love to see the Big 10 be like, "you know what? We're good. We have plenty of money. And some things are more important than money." Because eff ESPN and their master plan.

I think that is kinda what the Big 10/ACC/PAC 12 "alliance" is doing.  Huge FU to SEC if playoff stays at 4 teams...and even more so the two teams from Big 12 that decided to leave for greener pastures.

Same.  I hope the "alliance" takes another decade or two to really think this over, and meanwhile we stay at a 4 team playoff.

4 team playoff basically relegates OU and UT to never making the playoffs again or maybe 2/10 years

I think the main reason they are delaying it is due to ESPN has the contract to '25-26' and will wait so others can bid on the larger CFP. MO money, MO money!  :kstategrad:

Is this bizarro world? A four team playoff completely bones K-State and any legitimacy the Big 12 would ever have because it would be incredibly difficult for a Big 12 school to get in.

I hope like hell we get a 12 team or even 16 team playoff and they only delay it just to take the thing to the open market.

I assure you the SEC won't be bothered by how big the playoff is, they'll always get their bite of the apple first. We just hope there's enough of that apple left over for everyone else to get some of it too.

it'd be a lot harder for sec to get 8 schools in a 16 team playoff than 2 schools in 4.

I’m hoping the alliance forces a max number of schools per conference.  Get that along with the 5-6 auto bids they were already talking about and we’re good to go.
