  1. Probably Big XII and PAC fans, cumstain. It's about all this thread is now, so if it's not your cup of tea, there's plenty of other threads to busy yourself with.
  2. Just wait out the ACC's death via SEC/ B1G and pickup a couple eastern teams.
  3. Perhaps this is a good time to remind everyone that cassowaries and every other bird on the planet are literally little maniraptoran dinosaurs.
  4. "NBC Could Make the Big Ten the 'NFL of College Football Conferences'" https://frontofficesports.com/nbc-big-ten-nfl/
  5. I'm still hoping for University of Alaska at Anchorage Seawolves. 18% of the country (by area) and a completely untapped market!
  6. Thinking about the weakness of the Big XII North reminded me of this, seen during the 2007 Kansas vs Missouri/ Border War game when KU entered at 11-0. Without question the best sign seen at any college football game, ever.
  7. Some context needed
  8. I don't get the UConn reference
  9. I'd be stuck between some nature hippie conversing with the universe breakdown while simultaneously peeing my britches and possibly violently shitting myself as my heart reached the "I can't breathe" level
  10. Lobbing haymakers at the Big XII but not saying anything about the B1G looks pretty pathetic.
  11. Agreed. I think of all the realignment mess, longhorn fans - in my view - probably came out better than the vast majority of teams, being reunited with their big three rivals.
  12. I honestly didn't expect two of you to take the bait. Agreed on your sentiment that Arky used to be a regional power, so to speak. As a fan of just college football (where regionality and regional rivals is what makes the world go round), I'm actually looking forward to seeing Texas vs Piggy happen again in the future. I also think Arky vs OU could become fun.
  13. Luckily recent winning percentage isn't the most important factor in realignment decisions, as longhorn fans would know
  14. I'd say that's a pretty good bet
  15. That's fine. As you correctly say, I'm not one who's been saying that. The advantage that the Big XII has right now is just born of a combo of having greater numbers, not currently going through the process, not having anyone of obvious/ can't turn it town value to the B1G and SEC, having solid timeslots and average engagement, and not teetering in a position where it's obvious that the remaining big brands are desperately looking to jump (like UO and UW are).
  16. Fully aware. Hence why the Big XII will make half or less than the B1G. But it's still programming that sells. So ya, a new contract that's about equal to the rear end of an old contract with prices set in a long-ago market is certainly reasonable.
  17. Sure, but if OU and UT were staying, the contracts would gain tens of millions just because we're near the end of a contract and prices have escalated. So I wouldn't be surprised if the additions brought enough, considering the new market prices, to keep the Big XII close to what it is now.
  18. Chip not understanding what he's talking about? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you.
  19. *Of course, on the other hand, once the Cascadia Subduction Zone goes off - good chance in the next 50 years - both UW and UO are gone.
  20. For the sake of argument, I think UW is closer to a have than a have not than many schools currently with the "haves."
  21. Play the long game
  22. Funky quote. I think the Big XII's current 40-ish is total distributions, not just media revenue. Regardless, I don't think the four corners schools would add revenue, but I'd still add them if they don't significantly shrink it.
