Other than Arizona basketball, this adds nothing to an already second tier conference.

Except for a bunch of kick ass road games.

And Utah has been more successful than us over the past decade. Colorado is a traditional power.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Those four are significantly better than their most recent four invitees.

Colorado is not a traditional power.

Iowa is 82-44.
Utah is 78-45.

Thanks for playing.

Great Market Tho and if brought into B1G they would see a recruiting and funding bump. Colorado has had some really good Teams and Years .

How would Colorado see a recruiting bump by moving conferences? They struggle already recruiting there state. They have also been a horrible program since the 2000s.

Yeah, Colorado was good for about 10 years once when they had that cult leader winning games. Then a few years longer with Gary Barnett.

And they will be playing games on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

Well they should add Hawaii then also.

Houston just made a Final 4. Cincy just made the CFP. What have those 4 schools done lately?

Wow. Time to dust off the old Southwest Conference moniker??

The sec grabbed part of that with the old SWC cheating.

He is talking financially. The big 12 put themselves in a corner by taking the four teams they just took out of desperation.

 

[Big Hawk D-Port]

If they think Oregon and Washington are going to bolt to the B1G, then they should go. If they can convince those two to stay, they have a better deal in the PAC12.

Colorado hasn't been a power since before they left for the PAC 12. Maybe coming back to the B12 will allow them the look better.

 

[pistachio1999]

Arizona State is a dumpster fire. They should be on probation.

 

[Big Hawk D-Port]

You're right. The PAC 12 might simply look at Utah and Colorado at this time. The Arizona schools will be there in the future if the BIG 12 wants them.

Oddly enough its Utah that might be the most valuable to the Big 12 right now, both as a rival to BYU and as a standalone football brand. It seems like they were the last of the schools to get added to the PAC 12.

 

[pistachio1999]

Big 12 should take Nevada and UNLV. Utah and the Arizona schools.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Hard to project Houston in 5-10 years, they definitely have potential to elevate to legit "P5" status.

Cincy will collapse once Fickell is poachd by a B1G school, so don't count on them down the road.

Trust me. Colorado football is not a priority in the Denver market. Very small amount of coverage

 

[iowahawkeyes1982]

This puts Oregon and Washington in a weird spot. They don’t want to go there, waiting on ND to make a decision and are limbo in the defunct PAC 12. Maybe they go independent for a year or two?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Colorado is a traditional power.

Lol

When the hell was the last time Colorado football was ranked?

 

[ChiPackHawk]

USC and UCLA give the Big Ten the LA TV market. If anyone thinks this is about anything other than that they are misguided.

Other than Arizona basketball, this adds nothing to an already second tier conference.

Hey Stinky, does it suck knowing isu is in a conference made up of schools the Big Ten and SEC don’t want? The Big Ten will have Fox, CBS and streaming partners while the SEC will have ESPN and streaming partnerships. Who will the leftover conference have? Better yet how will the leftover conference get into the CFP if the Big Ten and SEC decide to go to 20 schools each and take the CFP to themselves with their media partners?

Will Iowa ever make it in the CFP? No. So now you're riding your conferences coat tail little man.

 

[HerkyFan]

Why not clown fan? Who says the CFP needs to be only 4? I could see a 8-12 team playoff and when Iowa has teams like they did in 2002, 2004, 2009 and 2015 they could easily make that field. Meanwhile isu’s best team in school history was boat raced by Lousinana Lafayette at home, YIKES.

Now make up some delusional reason why this is wrong so I can beat you over the head with it or run away and hide like you usually do .

 

[Birky]

That is absolutely the biggest reason, but the big brand isn’t a non factor. They added somebody has been known to win games from time to time.

The only chance iowa would have at making a playoff is if it went to 8-12. Really not sure how hard that is to understand. And I'll be damned if I let you beat my head off, you'd probably fall in love.

 

[ChiPackHawk]

I don't doubt that is probable, but see Rutgers/New York market for my reason. Rutgers offered nothing other than the TV market.

Not really Iowa would have made a 4 team playoff in 2002 and was one play away from the 4 team playoff in 2015. Meanwhile isu’s best team ever got boat raced by Louisiana Lafayette.

Now that I have trashed your feeble little argument once again it is probably time for you to run away and hide. You can take a nap and psyched about those upcoming Wednesday night games with UCF on the CBS Sports Network.

 

[pistachio1999]

They should get UNLV and Hawaii. Theme some saweet destinations. Hayden loved Hawaii.

Your kidding right? Colorado had a couple of years but is a lllooonnnggg way from being a power school. Take a look at their record up against Iowa's the last 4 decades. I doubt its close......So I just looked up the last 20 years real quick for both school. Iowa is 156 wins and 84 losses the last twenty years. The Colorado Buffs are 83 wins and 141 losses the last twenty. So Iowa has won almost TWICE as many games as Colorado has since the turn of the century. Colorado power, ah NO.......

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

They are still the small plurality, as proved by pure number of alumni and polls on fan support.

 

[TonyTheTiger.1865]

Nobody in Colorado cares about the Buffalo's.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I don't doubt that is probable, but see Rutgers/New York market for my reason. Rutgers offered nothing other than the TV market.

I haven’t done an analysis, but I’m willing to bet Big Ten recruiting has improved in the region since then, and Rutgers provides an away game in a metro that has thousands of alumni from multiple Big Ten schools.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Nobody in Colorado cares about the Buffalo's.

That’s (1) not entirely true, although this point is always made with some bizarre pride by Iowans about EVERY big market, and (2) not the point. Whatever network covers the conference Colorado is in WILL be carried in Denver. Period.

 

[Birky]

You are absolutely correct. It also left the B1G with Rutgers. I don’t think anything like it will happen again, but good for Butgers!!
