Some new hodgepodge conference of B12 leftovers, BYU, and perhaps some MWC and AAC schools

B1G
Don't feed him, check his history.
I just always assumed Maryland & Rutgers were added for TV sets(Population/market) But what do I know???I'm not being a dick. Honest question. I think we can all agree that this is the weakest P5 conference (in terms of sustainability). I've heard pundits say that the BiG should go after Oklahoma and Texas. Our former AD has done an admirable job holding that conference together. I'm not actually excited about Rutgers and Maryland. I do get Nebraska. Good fit. From what I understand, Delaney picked up Rutgers and Maryland to prevent Penn St. going to the ACC. I'm certainly not a troll on this. 5 years from now, I don't see a Big 12. Where do these teams go?

For now.The Big 12 is alive and well. Only 10 teams to divide the wealth.
Only because you don`t have a clue. Check the revenue numbers and check which conference had a team in the playoffs in football, the final 4 in basketball, and college world series participants. There is only one conf that accomplished that this year, so do your research.I'm not being a dick. Honest question.

And neither does IowaPollard has been trying very hard to make ISU a valid candidate for conference realignment. ISU brings zero eyeballs to the table. But they are trying to flaunt their stadium as the third largest in the XII
I’m amazed by the arrogance of my fellow iowa fans that are hoping Oklahoma, texas, notre dame and others to join. You do realize, we don’t do anything in this conference as it stands. Hiw do you think it’s going to go then? Also, i get the clown bashing, but if the b10 started iver, we’d likely be in the outside looking in for the same reasons

Nice try Cyclone fan.
I'm fairly certain Hypothetical Theory I and II are part of the core curriculum at ISU.no shit. "If the Big Ten started over" is a dead giveaway. Always living in a parallel "what if" universe.

Oh, it's deep around here all right.No. That's too deep for your typical clone
The OP joined recently, and may legitimately be ignorant of the history on this thread topic. It has been discussed (threads created) probably a minimum of three dozen times since the last round of re-alignment.
Bottom line, the consensus opinion is that the Big12 only has two schools any of the other P5s would want: Texas & Oklahoma.
None of the remaining teams make much sense to add to a P5 conference, since they bring very little in revenue and only serve to make each $lice of pie that much smaller for everyone else.
If the conference were to "implode" after those two exited, then the other schools would have little choice than to circle the wagons and recruit two schools to replace them. Probable candidates coming from the MWC or AAC most likely. Obviously, at that time the conference itself would be downgraded from P5 status.
Or the B12 adds Mich & Ohio St and they monitize their tier 3 inventory and quit carrying the have nots in the B10.Yep when the Texas Ten loses OU and Texas they will stay the Big 12 and just add teams to replace them. Of course they will go from power 5 to group of 6 but oh well clown fans will tell us how much better that is.

Yes, they would make more $$$ than they do now....much more.Is someone going to give Michigan and OSU their own networks like what Texas has?
If not then tier 3 rights are kind of meaningless.

Your trolling is almost as poor as it is sad. Go back to Cyclone Fanatic.I’m amazed by the arrogance of my fellow iowa fans that are hoping Oklahoma, texas, notre dame and others to join.

BIG 12 is actually doing much better $$$$ wise and the conference that is not doing well is the PAC 10.Conference USA?
I almost forgot that your conference got eliminated as early as they did yet again this March Madness. I’m glad the B1G doesn’t go down that easy in the tourney.Only because you don`t have a clue. Check the revenue numbers and check which conference had a team in the playoffs in football, the final 4 in basketball, and college world series participants. There is only one conf that accomplished that this year, so do your research.
Lol should I tell them who you've been before this new username?Oh, it's deep around here all right.
