  1. Actual quote from the Washington State President June 2022.
  2. Penn St fans may downplay Sandusky, but almost none deny it. Baylor donors spent millions buying off victims on one hand and claim there were no victims on the other hand. Nearly 100% of their fanbase gaslights the victims, the scandals and the perps. Their fans universally say the lack of charges and convictions proves the accusations were false. UT suspended Beard immediately, thoroughly vetted the story, then dismissed Chris Beard. I know ONE UT fan who believes that Beard was exonerated by the DA when no charges were pressed. Everyone else believes Beard should have broken up with his GF long before it came to blows. There's a difference in how universities deal with their dirty laundry. UT did it right. Penn St and Baylor are still mocked for their cover up. UT is not.
  3. On another tangent. Stanford used to have a raucous and rabid student presence at its football games. They showed up in mass whether the team was good or bad. They were famously sophomoric, sometimes offensive, usually harmless and often hilarious. But starting in 2014 the Stanford elitist administration began a war on fun at the school. They mainly targeted the Fraternities. Over the last year or two the students began to push back. Students began taking banners and protest signs into the stadium on game days for increased visibility. So the administration retaliated with body searches and pat downs at the students entrance. So now the students just don't go to the games. College football stadiums without college students are less fun for everybody. Now nobody goes to the games. https://stanforddaily.com/2022/10/24/inside-stanfords-war-on-fun-tensions-mount-over-universitys-handling-of-social-life/
  4. I didn't count UCF and I make no apologies for it!
  5. This is a big NO. There are too many teams on that list that don't belong in the show. Consolidation is happening. Its great for the schools surviving it and devastation for the left behind. I think we're headed toward three 20 team conferences. We're certainly not headed for a 28 team conference. Here are the 10 bottom feeders in your list, you can keep two. CAL, SDSU, BU, UH, CINCY, BC, CUSE, WAKE, DUKE, GT & UCF.
  6. Yes, but its not because ESPN is losing them money. It does pretty well for them. The issue is Disney can't pay for the buying sprees they went on a few years ago. IIRC they paid $71bill for Fox. Those payments are still being made. Disney would actually prefer to partner ESPN with somebody. But the last week or two have proven, though Amazon and Apple have money to burn, they actually never burn any. So don't expect them to partner up with ESPN.
  7. This only happens IF the ACC is raided of these schools UV, UM, FSU, CLEMSON & NC. If any of those five are left behind by the BIG & SEC, then they'd be the first in line for the BIG12. The four ACC additions that the Big12 would get out of an ACC collapse are NCST, VT, LOUISVILLE & PITT. Those guys are perfect fits for the Big12. Why do some people think additions have to raise the viewership and/or be some blue blood brand. The Big12 is going be filled will feisty younger brothers that out punch their weight class and occasionally knock out the heavy weight. That makes for some entertaining football. As we know the Linear overlords want consolidation. Three 20 team conferences give them just that. The ACC left behind will be BC, CUSE, WF & GT. They don't deserve to left out but that's life. There is a chance that B.Y. would also want Cuse & Duke in the Big22. He would love some MBB Blue Bloods.
  8. Well, up until last week the B12 had never added an AAU school. If the Big12 can change their policy so can the B1G.
  9. I meant to have Arky at about #5 and I was pretty sure nobody would argue with me having Allen and Dallas Carter ahead of Baylor and SMU.
  10. UT, OU, AGGIE, TECH, TCU, OKST, UNT, ALLEN HS, DALLAS CARTER, BU, SMU
  11. That's not terrible. Kinda watchable. More balanced than the PAC12 was.
  12. I can't stop laughing at the fact Cals football stadium has a final payment of $75,000,000 in the year 2112. Of course by the year 2112 $75,000,000 is prolly what we'll be paying for a can of air.
  13. Heres the link to the August of 2021 announcement that the Cal stadium would be named FTX field. 10yr 17.5mill deal. https://www.si.com/college/cal/news/cal-field-naming-rights
  14. Here's the link to the sportico article about the crushing debt at Cal. https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2020/cal-bears-financial-troubles-1234609207/
  15. As has been discussed here, Cals stadium debt is $450,000,000. The debt is literally on a 100 year note. The last payment is due in 2112. So I was thinking they couldn't have possibly screwed this up any worse but they did. The stadium naming rights belong to none other than the crytocurrency scam known as FTX. So for several years now Cals been getting payed in FTX currency that is now worthless. LOL
  16. As has been said on this thread before, 'No conference wants to add a school that will buy the best talent and therefore beat you. But at the same time add Zero value. infact they'll just dilute the earings.'
  17. I'm actually fine with the UH addition. I just can't resist the opportunity to throw some shade at Coug High. The remaining 8 couldn't have done better than the four additions that they made and the national perception of adding BYU, UH, UCF & CINCY was very positive. It didn't just save the Big12, it positioned them to bat cleanup after the PAC cratered. I will be watching UH's attendance numbers this fall. Obviously they'll have the sellout on Oct 21st. OkieLite & TCU will bring a lot of fans. But what kind of crowd will they have for Cincy, UCF & WVU. If UH isn't playing somebody who will bring a lot of fans, will they have more that 30,000 fans at a game?
  18. WSU Presiden Kirk Schulz interview with ESPN. Good read from their perspective. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/38162254/wsu-president-preparing-realignment-moves-bad-spot
  19. The most important thing to B.Y. was to have 14 teams by the fall of 2024. He worked very hard with the Linear providers for the conference to have slots for 14 teams in the fall of 2023. The Big12 will certainly lose some of those slots for the fall of 2024 since they are losing OUT, but they certainly couldn't retain those slots without the teams to fill them. So the Big12 had to add two to get back to 14. Adding two more, above that, to get to 16 was OK with Fox & ESPN. Plus it is now clear that the Big12 is the #3 football conference and pretty much the #1 basketball conference. It's really hard to argue that the Big12 hasn't navigated the last year and a half to near perfection. Except for adding Houston.
