jkrdevil Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Big 12 isn't adding anyone. They are giving up the championship game (unless they get a waiver, which I doubt they will get) and going with a 10 team league. One of the big losers in this appears to be Jerry Jones and his Jerryworld as the Big 12 championship game games scheduled for there won't be taking place.

Lights Out Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Pac-10 would have to steal Boise from the Mountain West Conference, because that's where they're headed. Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can flat out guarantee the Pac 10 won't take Boise State. All they literally have is the football team-everything else is historically sub par athletically, and academically the school is little more than a jumped up junior college.

rock55choc Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Now that it looks like the BIG XII will survive after all and drastic conference realignment and expansion will not take place, it looks like two conferences will need new names. Big Ten - call it the Big Midwest Conference. Big XII - just go back to calling it the Southwest Conference again. Although Iowa State is far from Southwest. Now its your turn. Suggest new names for the BIG XII and Big Ten here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Big XII-Texas and the Nine Dwarfs (Somebody, I forget who, owns the rights to the Southwest Conference Moniker. Which is a shame because this is the spiritual reincarnation of the Southwest Conference-complete with pending Texas-induced disintegration)Big Ten-Big Ten Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

dfwabel Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 From all the reports I've seen and read, it won't be Boise. Utah is on the top of the Pac-11's list right now.Pac-10 is going network. Their top three people have TV experience: Larry Scott, Kevin Weiberg, and Chris Bevilacqua.A Pac-10 Network would have potential exposure in these markets:2 Los Angeles, CA6 San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA12 Phoenix, AZ13 Seattle-Tacoma, WA16 Denver, CO20 Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, CA22 Portland, OR28 San Diego, CA31 Salt Lake City, UT42 Las Vegas, NV55 Fresno-Visalia, CAThe markets of Big XII-Lite are:5 Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX10 Houston, TX21 St. Louis, MO (split with Illinois)32 Kansas City, MO (split with Nebraska)37 San Antonio, TX44 Albuquerque-Santa Fe, NM (from Tech)45 Oklahoma City, OK48 Austin, TX61 Tulsa, OKI still think that the Pac-10 wins.EDIT: The new TV deal, if true and signed, will not allow for schools to transfer conferences for X years. The MVC is out of an AQ until the requirement is recalculated. Contracts can still be broken though, so the lessers could still try to make a better deal.

Herk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Seeing as the Atlantic 10 Conference has 14 teams and the Great West Conference has a team located in New Jersey, I think DI conference's have moved past trying to have accurate names.

dfwabel Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 No changes are needed. You fail to realize the ill will which will be seen in the loss of a 100 year old brand, like the Big Ten. Wait, especially when a company moves a logo, which gets mocked here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can flat out guarantee the Pac 10 won't take Boise State. All they literally have is the football team-everything else is historically sub par athletically, and academically the school is little more than a jumped up junior college.Why does this matter to a conference anymore? It's out in the open now that it's all about money and competitiveness. That's not a bad thing. In fact it's good that they're no longer living a lie.Also, back to my earlier question - what happens to Villanova, Georgetown, ODU, et al who are essentially basketball only schools if these super conferences just go ahead and form their own playoff system? Certainly they wouldn't let the A-10 or Little East join in... right?
