College Football: Who's next?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Sep 7 '11, 08:59

Texas A&M to the SEC is a done deal.
Who will be #14?

Expect the Big 12 to ask Texas (that in itself is funny) if they can change the Longhorn Network to the Big 12 Network. If successful, this will probably keep the Big 12 afloat. If unsuccessful, expect OU & OSU to jump to the PAC-12... and then all hell breaks loose as the scramble to 16 begins.

did Baylor back down from its challenge? -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 7, 09:00 23
- Not yet but nobody seems to think the matter is serious. -- nm - David Sep 7, 09:02 20
  - :-( This makes me so sad. - Krusty Sep 7, 09:07 14
    - yeah. i understand the monetary reasons for this & that trumps everything, but they are trashing classic college hoops....nm - x Sep 7, 09:14 5
      - Classic college hoops has been trashed for the past 15-20 years. This is just the icing on the cake. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:16 4
        
        College basketball is awesome. The one and done is terrible but it's still an awesome game to watch. - Krusty Sep 7, 09:18 3
        
        College hoops has steadily declined since the early 90's - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:20 2
        
        yeah, i agree. the product is nothing compared to what it was... - x Sep 7, 09:27
        
        I think the product on the court is awesome. Sure, it can be improved but it's still awesome. - Krusty Sep 7, 09:23
    - I've seen a couple of scenarios with KU and KSU in the Big East. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:10 4
      - Better than some other conferences I've heard mentioned but still not great. - Krusty Sep 7, 09:15 3
        
        The Longhorn Network screwed everything. Big 12 teams agreed to it in order to keep Texas from bolting, not realizing how much of an advantage it was -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:17 1
        
        Damn it Texas! I knew hating you was right. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 09:19
        
        it started last year, too much money in southern football teams, too much money in northern basketball teams, etc etc -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 7, 09:16
    - The SEC will break off from the NCAA in the next five years now. -- nm - David Sep 7, 09:10 2
      - The way I see it shaking out - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:13
      - That doesn't make me feel better. :-) - Krusty Sep 7, 09:13
  - Basically what's going on is Baylor's afraid they're going to be left chair-less when the giant musical chairs game begins. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:04 4
    - I'm afraid Mizzou is gonna be chairless as well. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 09:06 3
      - I really hope the ACC stays intact - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:10 2
        
        This is all such a clusterfuck...I just better not lose my Mizzou/KU basketball games twice a year. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 09:14 1
        
        WORD!!! -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 09:16
- Don't think so, but at this point it's only a matter of when. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:02 1
  - I mean, come on... Baylor? This would be like Vandy flexing their muscles in the SEC. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 09:02
