The Fixer Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Can someone explain to me why NU leaving made Texas and texas A and M think that the big XII was completely over with? Why not invite Pitt, Rutgers, etc and carry on with 12? I know I am missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not invite Pitt, Rutgers, etc and carry on with 12? I know I am missing something.Setting aside the fact Rutgers and Pitt don't make enough to afford routine flights to Texas with unbalanced revenue sharing...Nebraska is still the Big XII North's flagship program. If the cornerstone of one division is pulling out, along with a couple other members, you aren't going to be able to adequately replace them. In that situation, it is every man for themselves.

The Fixer Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Well I was thinking it would be possible to replace Nebraska if ONLY Nebraska left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Well if only Nebraska left I guess the Big 12 could technically stay alive (although in a weakened state). They could add a TCU and move Oklahoma to the north and set up the scheduling like the ACC where you have one team int he other division you play every year. That way you still have a a marquee team in each division for the Championship game. The problem is it appears the Pac-10 is expanding no matter what (either the Big 6 team raid or to 12 teams). Colorado looks like they will get an invite even if the Pac-10 expands to 12. That means you lose another north team. Add Missouri possibly leaving too and that is 2 teams leaving. You can't replace that with what is left to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 So the very latest rumors are that the Big Ten will also invite Syracuse, Rutgers, Notre Dame, and Maryland to join. Pierce the heavens, baby.Presumably Missouri prays that Notre Dame remains stubbornly obstinate about their independence in this scenario.

The only think that would do was actually give Amon G. Carter Stadium sell outs of 45k. On Feb. 8, the Pac-10 made their biggest move of all. They hired Kevin Weiberg as their CEO. Weinberg previous jobs in the past five years were:Big XII Commissioner (1998?2007)Big Ten Network VP of Planning & Development (2007-2008)iHoops CEO (2008-2010)He knows ALL the numbers in terms of what the schools make and the impact of a cable network.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Is there any possibility of doing football-only conferences, with the "traditional" conferences remaining for the other sports? I know it's highly unlikely, but these shifts pretty well ruin college basketball.

As for the ACC, last month, they did their TV deal last month and basically doubled their annual incomestarting next year, but were like the Big XII in they were not sharing revenue equally among teams.

I hear alot of fans complain about the "Carolina bias" in offciating. This may be the school's chance to move out of the shadows of the Carolina teams. Is there any possibility of doing football-only conferences, with the "traditional" conferences remaining for the other sports? I know it's highly unlikely, but these shifts pretty well ruin college basketball.That's what I hated about the 2004 ACC expansion. It didn't really make football any better, the championship game was always boring. Then basketball was completely ruined. I use to be a huge college basketball (ACC specifically), but the expansion made me slowly lose interest. This year I only watched a couple tournament games. I can see these potential Super Conferences doing the same for other college basketball fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twi Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I haven't been keeping up with this over the past few weeks and to go back now and read this topic it's pretty surreal. There could be some huge changes next year. As a fan of an up and coming program it's definitely interesting to see how this all plays out and if there's potential for even more upward mobility.
