BroadSt_Bully Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't really understand this. The Big XII is simply the expansion of the Big 8 plus a few of the old SWC teams.So in 10 years, will the ACC celebrate a 10th "Anniversary"? Where was the Big Ten's 15th "Anniversary" celebration logo this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyandlux Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Then tell me why the Pac-10 didn't celebrate the 10th anniversary of their change last year. 10th Anniversary of what? 10 is 10 has been 10. what Pacific to pac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kess Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 This doesn't bother me. The former big 8 added four schools, split into divisions, added a football championship game and changed names. If they want to celebrate 10 years with four new teams and a new name, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well...The WAC would like to celebrate its 6th year of having the MWC split and being an incredibly horrible Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMMF Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Then tell me why the Pac-10 didn't celebrate the 25th anniversary of their change 2 years ago. It was the same conference that added two teams not a new conference with 12 teams. Btw, 2008 will be the 80th Anniversary of the Big 6 if you want to take it all the way back.

praeda Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Despite being obvious to even the most casual fans of college sports that the Big 12 is simply the Big 8 plus the major Texas schools, for historical purposes, the SWC AND the Big 8 ceased to exist in 1996 and the Big 12 was formed then. Thus, all Big 12 conference records start in 1996 and ignore anything that was accomplished before then. If you peruse the conference records - http://www.big12sports.com/sports/m-footbl...edia-guide.html -, you'll find that there are no records before 1996. (Oddly enough, Nebraska's sellout and Texas's non-shutout pre-1996 active streaks are listed differently on page 103.)Unlike the Big 12, which was organized as a new conference, the Pac-10 in 1962, 1964, and 1978, the Big Ten in 1899, 1912, 1950, and 1994, the ACC in 1978, 1992, 2004, and 2005, the Big East in 2004 and 2005, and the SEC in 1992 all were in continuous operation. The NCAA's history of each is continuous. http://www.ncaa.org/library/records/footba...all_records.pdf at 515-17. The founders of the Big 12 clearly made a conscious effort to form a new conference not to expand the Big 8. Whether or not it is silly is a matter of opinion. (I personally think that it's silly.) The best analogy is not to another conference but to the NFL. Just as the Baltimore Ravens do not (and are not allowed to) refer to any records accomplished in Cleveland because the Ravens are a completely new entity that came into existence in 1996 and not a continuation of the Browns franchise that remained in Cleveland, the Big 12 is a completely new entity and not a continuation of the Big 8.Edit: Fixed the hyperlinks.

WSU151 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Anyone look at that Big 12 logo and instantly hope there will be a 12th anniversary logo? There could be a TWELFTH, a 12, and XII all in the same logo, if they use the same format!cyandlux, the Arizona schools were the last to be added to the Pac-10. It used to be called the Pacific-8 Conference. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I don't really understand this. The Big XII is simply the expansion of the Big 8 plus a few of the old SWC teams.So in 10 years, will the ACC celebrate a 10th "Anniversary"? Where was the Big Ten's 15th "Anniversary" celebration logo this year? Because the Big 8 records ended in 1996. The Big XII keeps seperate records from the Big 8 and SWC. The other leagues simply expanded or switched out teams. This was a brand new league, not an extension of the Big 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaftDu Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I still don't understand why the Big 10 is the Big 10 when they got 11 teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyandlux Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I still don't understand why the Big 10 is the Big 10 when they got 11 teams? Thats a good point. I think with teams switching conferences so much these days all the conferences with numbers seem silly, especially the Big ten with 11 members. That said, I will contradict myself, I like the Pac10 but if they were to add another team I'd hope they would change the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awuestenfeld Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Does anyone have the vector image of the top half of the image that was posted?

raz Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I still don't understand why the Big 10 is the Big 10 when they got 11 teams? The conference deliberately did not change its name when it added Penn State because it hoped to add Notre Dame very soon thereafter, and didn't see any reason to change to Big 11 when something else was only a couple years away (theoretically). Notre Dame never joined, and by then, the discomfort of having 11 teams but being called the Big 10 didn't bother them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
