The other 8 schools don't know where they stand in potential realignment talks with respect to what they could bring to another conference. This toothless order keeps those 8 from determining where they stand and could potentially set them back a little in the negotiations for a potential landing spot when the B12 dissolves. 
    You could not be more wrong.

    The Big 12 has "hard evidence" that the cows, OU and ESPN conspired to dissolve the Big 12 to their benefit. This is a lawyers dream. Somebody blew the whistle and it will cost ESPN and the cows a bunch of money. Much more than the $80 million they will owe trying to leave before 2025.

    Today's developments are HUGE  

    So who’s the Q for BigXIIAnon?

    Does it? DFW is a pro-sports market that cares about the Cowboys and the good Texas college teams. The Tech/Baylor game at JerryWorld was never sold out and never rated much after Baylor started to suck.

    There's more Tech fans here than SMU, Baylor, and TCU (likely combined) at this point.  I'd call it a dead heat with Aggy. Still behind Texas (and sadly the land thieves) or the Cowboys, though, by a good margin.

  3. 2 20 team superconferences being left standing at the end of the day doesn't seem that unrealistic at this point.

    SEC + TX/OU + 4 ACC pickups (Clemson, Florida State, Miami, and UNC or BC)

    B1G + ND + Kansas* + 4 PAC Pickups (USC, UCLA, Oregon**, Washington)

     

    Then everyone left over scrambles to reshuffle into something that makes sense as a second tier (mostly the left out P5 schools) and a third tier (everyone else). But question whether the SEC and B1G don't just become their own league and say FU to the NCAA at that point. Also possible a couple of the B1Gs get jettisoned here (looking at you Rutgers and Maryand) in favor of others. 

    *I'm including Kansas instead of a 5th PAC for a couple reasons: basketball, KC TV market, splits some of the geographic difference.  They're terrible at football, but with the other shifts, they could maybe attract some better talent away from the next tier of schools.

    So...Aggy is playing with fire here. 10 votes with a 14 team conference, or 11 with a 16 team conference, and they're out.

    I’m going to disagree here. In my (probably more neutral) eyes the order is:

    Cowboys……………………………………………………Texas…A&M…………….Tech…….OU….OkieSt…LSU.TCU.SMU.Baylor.Bama.Arky.Everyone else

    There are more Sooners here than Aggies.

    I don't disagree but think Tech out rates TCU.  Tons of tech grads here.   IF (and thats a big caveat) TV partners see real value in adding Central time zone kickoffs, I would think OSU and Tech are the first 2 calls.  That could guarantee a 11AM or Noon kickoff every week and it would help to some extent with the OKC/DFW (and a lesser extent Houston, still a bunch of Tech grads there).  TCU just doesn't do anything outside of Ft. Worth.  And despite the recent basketball championship I would still rate Baylor at the bottom of Texas schools from a valuation perspective.

    The Dallas/TTU thing is a phenomenon of the last 15 years or so.  I'd say the TTU fanbase in Dallas is about the same size as the Aggie fanbase at this point - still behind Texas and OU, narrowly ahead of OSU, and no one else registers at a significant level.

    If the PAC is going to give anyone a rider on being a private religious school, I think they just take BYU.  It's a more national fanbase than TCU/Baylor, geographically within the Pac 12 footprint, automatically gives you a great in-conference rivalry game with Utah and isn't, you know, TCU/Baylor. 

    Exactly.  If you have TTU, you don't need TCU or Baylor to add any value in Texas.  And adding BYU gives them more eyeballs than Baylor and TCU combined multiple times over.

    The Disney/ESPN/SEC/LHN ties make this extremely possible. 

    Does ESPN/Disney own Fox Sports after the Fox/Disney merger? 

    No.  Fox kept FS1/FS2.  The Fox regionals got sold off, are now Bally Sports.

    Thx for this @mdmost

    LOL

    But real talk - considering how the PAC is basically irrelevant at this point, wouldn't potentially pushing Colorado and Utah to the "Big XII" then having those two leagues play a "championship game" against each other give at least some chance of relevance to these teams?  Otherwise, just forget it - it's the SEC with occasionally appearances by the ACC and B1G.
