I think there's more chance of OU going to the SEC than to the BiG.
B1G expansion plans?
- Thread starter Quix0te
- Start date
Texas didn't want ISU in the Big XII. Also didn't want Kansas State. Big Eight stuck together.
My point was that I find the idea of OU going to the BiG highly unlikely for a number of reasons. It doesn't fit the conference profile in any respect. But the conference has been a little loosy-goosy with that profile, so I would never rule out anything.
Neither did Nebby, really. And renewing OU/Nebby would be pretty attractive to a lot of people.
Nebby was who I had in mind when I said the league had gotten loose with its standards. Huskers were in the AAU when they joined, but they were on the verge of being ousted and everybody in academia knew it.
I'm not saying it's a bad school. It isn't, nothing close to it. Neither is OU.
You're right. Wisconsin should be ashamed of themselves. 12-0 season with no P-5 non-conference games and no wins on the road against teams .500 or better. I just don't understand why you're posting that here on the Hawkeye board.
If Texas & Okla joined the West it would become a 2 horse race most every year, Iowa & Wis.
As soon as Wisconsin has a 12-0 season against 10 P5 teams with 2 wins on the road against 10-win teams, please get back to me. Until then, I agree with you that it was a fraud.
Our 12-0 season was the fraud. Stanford naming the score on us proved that. Keeping your head in the sand on this keeps santa claus alive
Ok, Iowa's season was a fraud but Wisconsin's wasn't because they beat 4-win BYU. There could be an argument as to which team was better, but there is no argument that Iowa's road to 12-0 was tougher. Your original quip was that there would be no more easy roads to 12-0 in the hypothetical scenario that Okla and TX joined the B1G West. I completely agree....I just used a better example.
You posing as an Iowa fan is beyond pathetic. Get a life you ****ing nerd.
Hmmm isn’t the leader of the Big 12 the former AD from Iowa?
And he wasn't that good when he was Iowa's AD. His legacy: one-sided contracts and Lickliter
Of course. That's why the Big Ten Network is buying OU Tier 3 rights.
Please sober up before posting.
Nice try, but no. Never once called anything a done deal, not here or on any other board. Nor do I, unlike yourself evidently, follow idiots like Flugaur/Dude. That's your baby, not mine. You've already made a couple of factually incorrect statements in THIS thread...silly stuff about UT and/or OU rejecting a GOR extension, etcetera....so you lost your credibility early in the thread. No saving it now.
Yeah, it was you. On the Scout board. I'd try running from that level of stupid as well.

Multiple sources through the expansion process have mentioned that, for Texas and Oklahoma alone, it is difficult to find support to extend the grant of rights past its expiration in 2025.
Those two schools are thought to have the most conference options when the 13-year, $2.6 billion media rights contract with ESPN and Fox expires in eight years.
"Those grant of rights aren't going to be extended," an official at one of those schools told CBS Sports.
Wisconsin’s also wasn’t as they beat Miami in their bowl game while we were embarrassed by Stanford. Completely outmatched
That's your dig? Iowa is in the best conference in the land, great academics, geographical sense, revenue sharing.
10 years from now Iowa will still be in the B1G, one of the big boys. Texas will have given the leftovers the big old finger when they left. I guess you can whine about a former Iowa A.D costing you then.
KU is my bet on this side of the geographical footprint.
*-AAU member since 1909 (same as Iowa);
*-Medical school (with their own Cancer Center);
*-Several top ranked programs including Education, Business, and Law;
*-Brings more tv's from Kansas City than Mizzou (only 1/2 hour from KC and a major airport vs 2 hours from Columbia);
*-Lot$ of development/growth going on over on the KS side of Kansas City compared to the MO side;
*-More of a liberal slant to the city/area than Mizzou and probably Neb for that matter;
*-Kansas was on the same side as the rest of the states in the conference in the 1860's politically;
*-Name recognition/history with regard to basketball (football too if you go back before Devaney's days at Nebraska. Before Neb joined the B10, the KU-Neb game was the 3rd most played game in college history behind Wisc-Minn and KU-Mizzou);
*-Major player in history of all of basketball not just college (same with track and the Kansas relays? They are putting in many chair back seats around the track for spectators);
*-Rutgers football was non-existent when they came in. A little $$$ and the right person could make KU decent in football (think Mangino a while back);
*-Endowment of $1.6B vs Iowa's $1.3B and ISU's $700M
The only downside to KU is the current state of their football and that could be corrected.
They did until the late 1960's. Could be added. (Have very nice baseball facilities which ISU does not have)
Also meant to add earlier their new track seats 7000 spectators; last December an alum donated $50million to help refurb the 7th oldest college football stadium in the US. Seats as many as Rutgers, IU, Maryland, NW, and Minny. Also just completed $30million practice facility with offices, weights, etc.
We beat you guys in your home stadium on our way to our undefeated season!
You would have to admit Nebraska and Oklahoma is a step up for current Big Ten schools like Northwestern, Illinois, and Rutgers
You're bad at making arguments.
I apologize to everyone else for hijacking this thread with this pointless banter with this numbnuts fake Iowa fan. I'm done. You can have him.
I would not hesitate to agree, but a number of posters here would disagree....and did so vehemently when Nebraska was in the Big XII.
All we’re saying is that ISwho would be a very nice pickup for the MWC. They would also finally get a legit chance at winning a conference championship. Win-Win.
So, your source is...anonymous rumors? Seriously, that's all you have? You should go work for CNN immediately, you're their kind of reporter.
It's CBS Sports source, which makes it far more credible than the guy who claimed FSU and Clemson were joining the Big 12.
CBS Sports reported it, dumbass. Nice CNN shot though, good to know what I'm dealing with here. Explains a lot about you.
What was your source for FSU and Clemson joining the Big 12? What a gem that was.
ISU wouldn’t be able to win the MWC. And I’m talking ever. There’s too many teams that are better than them on a yearly basis.
CSU, Boise St, SDSt, Air Force, & Wyo to name a few.
Actually no its about big 10 expansion but lurking clone trolls like yourself added an isu flavor to it. Not like we have a 100+ page thread on isu like some other sites do for Iowa. But nice try, kind of......
