    As a Baylor fan yes that's fine though I'd like to have SMU on it. 

     

    I think the regional argument doesn't land as well here because UT is sort of just sliding in fine to the SEC with OU, A&M, Arky, and LSU being all nearby. Though those schools not all playing each other is dumb.

     

     

    Agreed on SMU

    Yup or ISU/KSU every year

    Sure. And the Big XII is similarly dumb for not having UH play TT these next couple of years

    Yep to both

    Guy this post is incoherent.  What does your girl have to do with the girl that missed out?  Who are Todd Kress and Melissa, and what do they have to do with men in women's sport?

     

     

     

     

     

    Ok, thought I saw something that said they didn't produce test.  What's the point?  I don't know maybe cais people can be in women's sport. 

    I would defer to this lady on that subject:     Doriane Lambelet Coleman  

     

     

    I'm asking you because CAIS patients are a case of an XY individual being completely phenotypically female while being completely genetically male, including an internal set of undeveloped tested held within the pelvic cavity much like ovaries typically are. So, sounds like you say those people could compete in women's sports. I agree, but I find that answer surprising coming from you.

    If they are XX presumably in the women's category.  Khelif does not have CAIS because his body produces Test.  

     

    1) All women produce testosterone

    2) CAIS patients produce a LOT of testosterone - as much as you or me 

    3) CAIS patients have breasts and a fully functional  vulva

    4) Their cells are genetically XY

    5) See below (warning, noodz)

    I must have missed what changed for the ACC to start talking about changing revenue sharing.  Why do they need to try and make FSu and Clemson happy?   There is no unequal revenue sharing that is going to make everyone happy. Someone is going to get less and be unhappy. 

    When the FSU and Clemson lawsuits were filed, Internet lawyers said the GOR was short, sweet, and unbreakable?   If the lawsuit had a win-indicator, it seemed like it was 99.9% for an ACC win.   Has something changed on that front? Is the Win indicator for the lawsuit dropping?   That's the only thing that I can think of that would motivate the ACC to do this.

     

    Ya I'm assuming something has to be up that makes the ACC think they might lose.

    So, what is the problem? You’re a Baylor fan, and if you lived in Texas, you could go to regional games, right? Baylor is in a league with UH, TT, TCU, and schedules Texas State and SMU. So, what is your concern about how things are or will be?

    Son, untwist your panties. You are the most consistently wound up, defensive little guy on this thread, by a wide margin. Like a frat boy who just had a Four Loko. There isn't a problem, and I have no concern, you're just so hyper-defensive that you invent "problems" in your head. I simply responded to someone else conjecturing about why a different poster indicated he liked more regional conferences (and said poster even came in to clarify he liked regional conferences amongst like-ish brands). One can like brand on brand matchups while still thinking it's stupid to see serious reports discuss the merits of FSU joining the Big Ten.

    I'm surprised Vegas didn't get an invite initially. Perfect for conference headquarters, basketball tourney and football conference championship. I know they've been shit in football, always, but I would think NIL could change that. And basketball has struggled after Kruger but we know what they can be with the right guy. 

    Lots of rumors that UNLV and UNR are somewhat tied together, though one regent seemed to voice otherwise. Who knows. Personally I think they'll eventually take UNLV. UNLV, for their part, picked a nice time to be ranked for the first time ever.

    But, really, it’s only a change for Texas and OU, right? Baylor, TCU, TT, UH, TSU, UTSA, OSU, Tulsa… they all still get to play each other and shit talk each other. They still have nearby travel, right?

    Yes, and if I lived in Texas and were attending Baylor games, I would enjoy that aspect. Not sure why that seems difficult for you to understand? It's pretty simple, right?

    Your post implies that the "old regional conferences" are better for fans.  They weren't.

    Depends on what each of you were valuing. Bigger name brand matchups = new way is better. Better ability to travel to away games and shit-talk to rival fans in your day-to-day = old way was better.

    There are some pretty big penalties put in place when the pac2 and the mwc entered into a scheduling agreement this year to prevent exactly this. I think it is around 17 million a school and then like 50 million from the pac2 so a total of around 110 million. If the PAC had grabbed 8 schools from the mwc, those 8 would have been enough to dissolve the mwc and there would have been no penalties. But the 4 that left now no longer have voting rights so I think they would need to get 6 to vote to disband the league now if they circle back. Pac2 must think they have a good shot at AAC schools because grabbing only 4 initially doesn't make a lot of sense if you have to come back. 

    I think the only other MWC school they want at all is UNLV.

    The only one who can say if someone is trans is that person.  Imane and the boxer from Taiwan were disqualified form the 2023 Women's world championships because they did not pass the required sex tests.  They failed the tests because of the required XX to be able to compete.  Imane and the other gut are XY.  They're men. 

     

     

    If someone has complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, is that person male or female? If they were an athlete, in which division should they compete?

    I was willing to give it a chance until somebody told me they put cinnamon on it.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The chili, not the pets

    Look, I'm gonna be honest... I make my chili with a shitload of spice, but it also includes cinnamon, brown sugar, and is slow-cooked in an entire 6 pack of stout beer until the liquid burns off. And it's good as shit. (No beans, obviously). 

     

    Hate me if you must.

    Yup exactly...I knew it was one them. So yeah Stanford can go fuck themselves and Cal can too for their BoR making UCLA subsidize their bitch ass program that doesn't give a fuck about footbal. In fact neither of these schools give a shit about football so I hope their programs die.

    So, you mean the UCLA BOR?

    Just because it was probably in their best interests and almost anyone else would have done it in their shoes does not mean they didn't fuck OSU and WSU over.  Almost every instance of someone getting fucked over is when someone else does something in their best interests.

    I mean, if you really want to stretch the term, sure I guess. Cal and Stanford were the last two clinging onto lifeboats, not the teams that sunk the ship. 

  13. 12 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said:

    IMO those schools are going to be fucked in a few years anyhow. Those two schools fucked over OSU and WSU so IMO OSU and WSU should tell them to go fuck themselves. 

    Not sure how Cal and Furd fucked OSU and WSU. Were they supposed to turn down an offer from a surviving P5 conference?

    UTSA would be a harder pull for them because of the AAC affiliation. Texas State would be a lot easier and would be a smart choice if they are looking at “State” schools. 
     

     

    Teams not from AAC they should look at imo are:

     

    Liberty

    Wyoming

    Appalachian St

    Texas St

    Marshall 

    UCONN

    Honestly I'd be a little surprised if Texas State would go. They're in a good situation with a lot of East Coast time slots and exposure. The competition level would be the same. I don't see any enormous selling point.

    I think there's certainly a chance.  I'm just not sure those do any more for you than schools like UNLV or Air Force. 

    I would be curious to get the Texan perspective, but from the outside it seems like Texas State and UTSA are the G5 Texas schools with the biggest upside in terms of actually drawing a following.  I might have put UNT there at one point, but it seems like those places have more of a base for whatever reason.

    Agreed those are the two, but honestly I think they're both in leagues that are better long term.

    I'm no expert at conference building. Is there any chance they would try to add a couple of "partner" schools from Texas to get a market presence here? Some combo of Rice, TXST, UTSA, UTEP?

    Sure, they might try, but it has to be financially lucrative enough for those schools to jump.
