  1. Yeah. Denial. Anti-trust??? And believing that Arizona wasn't gone. Unless the board stopped them, Arizona was not staying.
  2. Big 10 sure didn't fool around once they decided to go. 1 day. They beat Arizona to the announcement.
  3. He did tell some of the truth after his initial run of Pac Kool-Aid. He said the Pac would blow up after this contract around 2030 and the Washington, Oregon and maybe Cal and Stanford would go to the Big 10. He viewed it as inevitable. He just said it wouldn't happen this year and that Oregon and Washington would not get into the Big 10 now.
  4. I was surprised that Iowa St. was tops in the new Big 12.
  5. Well Penn is private so I wasn't counting them.
  6. Basically, they got the Rutgers deal, except Big 10 makes a lot more than when they signed up Rutgers. Rutgers had a $205 million buy-in. Rutgers also had nowhere else to go.
  7. Stanford, probably because of academic standards, is always up and down. Records: 1990s 60-54-2 2000s 47-69 2010s 98-35
  8. Well if you are going into existing schools, I might rate TCU above ASU. Certainly on a per capita basis.
  9. I think its true everywhere but the Dakotas and a few states where they called their flagship State U (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Louisiana).
  10. SEC 4 year averages Alabama SEC 100,095 LSU SEC 99,266 Texas A&M SEC 99,100 Texas SEC 96,550 Georgia SEC 92,764 Tennessee SEC 91,942 Auburn SEC 85,394 Florida SEC 84,842 Oklahoma SEC 82,905 South Carolina SEC 74,277 Arkansas SEC 62,665 Kentucky SEC 56,209 Mississippi SEC 55,741 Mississippi State SEC 54,389 Missouri SEC 51,667 Vanderbilt SEC 26,746 Big 10 Michigan Big10 110,301 Penn State Big10 106,335 Ohio State Big10 101,687 Nebraska Big10 87,798 Wisconsin Big10 75,313 Michigan State Big10 69,896 Iowa Big10 67,407 Southern Cal Big10 58,877 Purdue Big10 54,651 UCLA Big10 45,606 Indiana Big10 44,010 Minnesota Big10 43,816 Rutgers Big10 40,817 Illinois Big10 37,783 Maryland Big10 35,352 Northwestern Big10 35,246
  11. Big 12+1 4 year averages (based on official changes) Iowa State Big12 58,463 BYU Big12 58,336 Texas Tech Big12 54,681 Oklahoma State Big12 54,027 West Virginia Big12 53,327 Kansas State Big12 49,022 Colorado Big12 46,178 Baylor Big12 44,261 TCU Big12 42,960 UCF Big12 42,444 Cincinnati Big12 35,490 Kansas Big12 29,600 Houston Big12 26,456 ACC Clemson ACC 80,363 Florida State ACC 62,060 Virginia Tech ACC 60,238 N Carolina State ACC 55,942 Miami, FL ACC 53,240 North Carolina ACC 47,501 Louisville ACC 46,456 Pittsburgh ACC 46,286 Virginia ACC 42,672 Georgia Tech ACC 39,957 Syracuse ACC 38,124 Boston College ACC 35,574 Wake Forest ACC 28,154 Duke ACC 23,097 Pac 9 Washington Pac12 65,571 Oregon Pac12 52,756 Utah Pac12 49,167 Arizona State Pac12 46,792 Arizona Pac12 41,019 California Pac12 40,320 Stanford Pac12 35,127 Oregon State Pac12 32,414 Washington State Pac12 27,009
  12. Tennessee could sure stand to lose a few thousand seats. Its really tight in Knoxville and none of us are that big.
  13. Kentucky in the SEC reduced their stadium from 68k to 61k, which was below their usual attendance (mid 60s). Stanford about 20 years ago dropped from 90,000 to 50,000.
  14. Look at Hawaii's stats. I know in football they struggle when they play east of California.
  15. I was on vacation the week TCU was admitted to the Big 12 and the week CU moved back to the Big 12!
  16. Plus California has tried to dictate rules on revenue sharing and other matters.
  17. The other states don't ban travel to other US states. That is the huge headache.
  18. I think the biggest factor was the CFP. With UW and Oregon, you now have 7 of the schools who are threats in any given year to win it all. The SEC has 8. FSU, Miami, Clemson and Notre Dame are up next.
  19. Utah and ASU. The state of California just creates headaches. And you get 2 better fb programs anyway.
  20. All the people outside the Big 12 who were convinced no Pac school would deign to join the Big 12. But CU did and Arizona really pushed UW and Oregon into acting. And everybody but Brett McMurphy and me (since I believed him) thought as the USC guy did.
  21. With 12 teams, lots of the P5 will get in. It will be much better than the 4 team playoff with Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio St., Oklahoma and sometimes someone else. As for the title, there are 19-20 teams who are a threat for that. Outside those schools only BYU and Pitt have won going all the way back to 1960. So that's nothing new.
  22. Well at least we don't have Legends and Leaders and Whoever is in whatever division in the ACC!
  23. Figured the other 3 would go to the Big 12 before the Big 10 got around to getting their deal together.
  24. Those numbers show how crazy it has gotten. Washington St. can't make its books balance with $30 million in annual distributions now. They got $15 million in school funds year before last and I think it might have been worse last year.
