Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

[Ira Hayes]

If the Big XII, SEC, big 10, and PAC12 all together fought the NCAA who would win?

There is no box.

the NCAA.  and you brought the box into the discussion.

You are wrong and you know it.  The tax argument is complete bullshit. 

The NCAA makes almost all their money from the basketball tournament. Imagine it without any of the schools in the big four conferences.  Because that is what will happen if they fight.

I am right and I know it.  what now?

We sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the show.  We're in.    

But the show is no longer about conference realignment.  It's about postseason football.

What is it about 16 that you like?

It's our only shot at ND.  ONLY.

Then, let's rephrase the 16 team talking point to be the following:

"We are OK with 16, if and only if it includes Notre Dame. go cats"

well, you don't get ND without pushing past 12 and forcing them.  they aren't a willing participant.

nevermind guys, i think it's probably just a coincidence.

OR the conferences ALL agree to include only conference champions in the 4-playoff thingy (as supported by Big 10 and ACC).  That would similarly force ND to join a conference.  However, the SEC is adamantly against this....so that probably won't happen....which means that I agree with Steve Dave that practically speaking, the only way the Big 12 lands Notre Dame is if 16-team super conferences become a reality.

The only conference champions thingy will happen. If the big 10 and Pac-12 don't go along with the SEC what else could possibly happen? Neinas sealed this deal with the Champions Bowl.

It's done.

[pissclams]

i wonder if they have CATCKK7DCC's in other conferences

[pissclams]

maybe it's just a b12 thing, dunno

[Ira Hayes]

nevermind guys, i think it's probably just a coincidence.

We're having very serious discussions here.  No time for your shenanigans.

If it is done, then it seems to be a perfect time for shenanigans. Hell, shut the thread down!

Nothing is sealed.

If the Big 10/ACC can't convince the SEC to agree to their plan, and the Big 10/ACC stick to their guns, then we go back to the pre-BCS days where merely the polls after the bowl season decide national champions.

No agreement between the conference = no playoff or BCS in any form.

[steve dave]

Ira makes a good point by throwing out all other possibilities but his own.  hard to refute that Pete.

Are those shells the nacho cheese flavor? if so, I want to try one.

LHC Bill Snyder told Keitzman today that he wants to expand and have 2 divisions and a championship game.  However, he said that over 50% of the league does NOT want to have divisions and does not want a championship game.  He hinted that the league would be up for adding 1 team, at most.  He said that the conference was currently in favor or 9 conference games and 3 non-con.

[steve dave]

LHC Bill Snyder ........ in favor or 9 conference games and 3 non-con.

HAHAHAHA, what a rough ridin' liar (unless he meant the rest of the league but not himself)

That's exactly what he meant.

Bill isn't in favor of 9.  You read that wrong.
