The upcoming system guarantees a G5 school gets in, which is honestly shocking. I never thought it would happen. We'll probably never get the dream of NCAA Gamebreaker 2000's 16-team playoff with all conferences getting auto-bids, but getting any playoff at all was kind of a win honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Tulane is getting a little overhyped after barely squeezing by a USC choke job, but Big 12 would be a good conference for that school to jump ship to. No reason to stay in the lowly AAC. Join Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlog3000 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Should the Big XII actually want to expand 3-4 more teams to go beyond 12, then the following should be Memphis, Tulane and USF (South Florida), while I'm trying to figure out a 4th one for #16 (which would be either SMU or East Carolina).

jlog3000 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Basically the bigger schools within the now-defunct SWC wanted some exposure and power or what not, so that the lesser schools would not get involved. Hence these big schools of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor joined with the Big VIII schools to form the Big XII (effective fall 1996). While the remaining schools (being Rice, SMU and TCU) joined the WAC, except Houston who joined Conference USA a year prior for non-football sports with football following suit. 1 Quote Florida State Seminoles fan for life (mostly on football, basketball and baseball)! 2011-12 ACC men's basketball conference tournament champions; 2012, 2013 & 2014 ACC football Atlantic Division champions; 2012, 2013 & 2014 ACC football regular season champions; 2012, 2013 & 2014 ACC football conference bowl tournament champions; 2014 NCAA D-I FBS BCS national champions!

WillLanigan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 The one we were referring to was SMU. Slush fund, Pony Express, Eric Dickerson, etc. While all schools were doing illegal stuff (my school, Tech, included), SMU got the death penalty, which tarnished the conference’s reputation and led to its demise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Big 12 has just announced that a deal has been made with Oklahoma & Texas. For $100 million in early withdrawal fees, the Sooners and Longhorns will join the SEC in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Bummed we're only going to have 1 season of Oklahoma/Texas Big 14 action but the Big 12 will be 100 million richer and an opportunity to target Memphis and company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
