  1. What is their explanation for 1997 and 2010? Fine print says… ”South Division”
  2. I agree with your points but I think UVA has finished in the top ten of the director’s cup 9 times and Kansas has 0. UVA also is a pretty solid baseball school which matters in the SEC. Kansas wins the basketball head to head but UVA isn’t a slouch there either. Both suck at football but UVA draws better both in attendance and with viewership and is in a better state for the SECN, but yes Kansas has more revenue. So Kansas has bball+AD revenue and UVA has basically everything else. I don’t think Kansas is a shoe in. Also I agree UVA/UNC aren’t attached at the hip, but I do think they both end up in a P2 in the next major round of realignment. Kansas likely has lower odds of making the cut.
  3. UVA is far more desired than Kansas (I have nothing against KU and agree they would work fine for all the reasons you listed). My opinion on this is subject to change if the SEC/B1G ever decide to fully breakaway from the NCAAbb tournament and do their own thing, then a school like Kansas could be very valuable. Still even if a 4th team left the ACC always has UConn in its back pocket that could be a quick add plus AAC schools like USF, Memphis, Tulane, Rice, Temple that it could get to leave immediately just like West Virginia did back in 2012.
  4. Yep if we go full on exclusive Power 2 super conferences there is no way the flagships of NC/VA are left out. However if we keep the Next 2 around (which seems highly likely) they could theoretically remain in the ACC/B12. I just think both P2 conferences have a hard on for UNC/UVA (and add in that neither wants to see them go to their rival conference) that they’ll end up getting in somewhere…eventually. Still I think the SEC is content to stay at 16 for a while and the Big Ten doesn’t want to rock the boat with their TV partners anymore after going to 18 with UO/UW so I think this isn’t worth talking about for at least another 5 years. The only realignment items left are OrSU/WSU > MWC and if the American Conference adds a replacement for SMU (Twitter had a rumor that they we’re trying to get Army to join).
  5. Yes, I agree that would stop them from breaking TV contracts, GORs or possibly disbanding the conference, but what’s unknown is whether selling assets or disbursing emergency funds would fall under the same restrictions.
  6. I’ve wondered how much control OSU/WSU actually have. Could the other 10 vote to sell off assets, payout all reserves and dissolve the conference?
  7. I’m not a lawyer, nor have I ever played one on TV, but I’m pretty sure that not knowing who your patient is or MOST importantly their medical history absolutely could have resulted in the patients death or at least some unnecessary pain and suffering. Any two bit attorney could likely make a threatening enough case to get a settlement here. While the doctors likely did the best they could, if they gave the patient any meds they were allergic to, or that had negative side effects when mixed with other medication they were taking, or they did not treat a known condition of the patient when their family was literally calling into the hospital trying to locate them only to be turned away by an administrator… If it makes it past a judge and to a jury you know how it will go. Family crying about not being able to see their loved one before death and possibly even robbed from a chance to save their life, while a hospital administrator hides behind HIPAA and the lawyer pokes holes in their bullshit story that they can’t say whether or not they have a John Doe admitted. That’s likely an easy multimillion dollar verdict which is why they’d likely just settle.
  8. Don’t be a douche. Someone calls in asks if they have any John Does and the hospital does says NO when the answer is YES and then they fucked up. The goal of the hospital, law enforcement, and every government agency WANTS to connect John/Jane Does with their families. The hospital fucked up and is trying to blame HIPAA when all other hospitals have systems in place to facilitate reconnecting lost family members. You ask them privately and everyone would admit they fucked up, but because there is a possible lawsuit incoming.
  9. Yep they just need to move the border to the river. Once Ukraine wins they and Romania just need to roll into Transnistria and end that insurgency.
  10. TSU? edit: Texas State, got it, I never see them listed as TSU (TX St)
  11. IIRC the State of Arizona had to do something similar.
  12. http://amp.awfulannouncing.com/college-football/big-ten-after-dark-fox.html
  13. They are charging $4million for a single acre lot in Northwest Hills. $23.5m/acre adjacent to UT that can connect the baseball fields and graduate housing to the main campus is a great deal and is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
  14. We all know Texas has underachieved. Brown’s final years followed by Charlie Strong really set us back. Herman was basically average and just not ready for a big job. Not taking anything away from TCU/OSU but having a solid coach in place while Texas was down was great timing for them. But like bullet said, the last 12 years also don’t erase the last 120 years. I’m curious to see if TCU after Patterson’s players or OSU after Gundy will sustain their success or revert to the mean. TCU/OSU/Texas all won a single Big 12 title in the past 10-15 years, played for another and lost in the last 5 years (TCU played for 2, you could argue Texas played for a 2nd in 2013). Yes, they both have recent head to head over Texas but let’s not act like their success has been very different outside of TCU’s playoff win last year. These will go down as some of the best years EVER for TCU/OSU while these are the worst for Texas and they aren’t all that significantly different.
  15. You might want to check your match on K State, but yes congrats to TCU and OSU for their wins while UT was wondering in the desert that began when Colt got hurt in the Rose Bowl against Bama.
  16. BYU/UH/UCF/Cincy weren’t a part of the renegotiated CFP deal. I think it’s logical to question them getting full shares ESPECIALLY while the PAC4 is still influx. If the PAC4 invites the 12 teams from the MWC, do they get full shares? In a vacuum it is greedy, but you really don’t want to set that precedent right now.
  17. 4 for P4 1 for highest G5 champ in top 15 7 at large

  19. Most years the Big12 and ACC will have a team in the top 12 too, but in years where they have a #15 champion they’ll be displacing a SEC/B1G. I can’t remember where I saw this but the difference between getting into the CFP versus and regular NY6 bowl is over $50mil in marketing and brand recognition which leads to future enrollment, donations, tickets, etc. The BCS suffered through horrible autobids from the Big East for year, and they don’t want to see this again.
  20. Yeah, there’s no way they do that to USC.
