    Yeah, this is spot on. I get why a lot of people find Yormark annoying, but without him it's hard to see the Big 12 not only surviving, but helping to destroy a conference that nearly destroyed it more than once.

    If Florida State isn't moving the SEC's financial needle, I can't see VA Tech or NCSU doing it.

    A well connected ISU guy said yesterday that the SEC has vetted FSU and Clemson and neither one is additive. Big 10 still cares about playing school and neither is AAU. Makes me think the SEC is done unless they can add Notre Dame. Also reinforces no Big 12 school is getting any kind of call from them (time to accept reality KU fans). I think Big 10 still might want UNC/UVA/Miami. FSU and Clemson need to decide if being in the Big 12 is better than being in the ACC minus them.

    Isn't he from Appalachia?

    Holy shit, that looks like it slams.

    Alas, it was my only binder. Sometimes you just have to deal with non-Shankworthy ingredients. I'll keep it a minimum.

    I love japs but the wife had bought the pepperoncini for some pasta salad, and per the spirit of the thread I tend to just go with what's in the fridge at the time. Same with the low carb tortilla. They aren't good, but they're good enough for having half the calories of a regular one.

    I don't think KSU belongs on that list, but agree on the others.

    Someone in that thread made an interesting point: if they can use the private equity to buy off FSU and Clemson, the gain in the next TV contract can probably more than offset their payments back to PE. Or that’s what Yormark would be attempting.

    Scheer was very well connected in the Pac 12 demise. I still can’t see this happening, but if the SEC and Big 10 don’t want them…

    Every school outside of the Big 10 and SEC that’s not a blue blood is in the same spot as we are. You desperately want me to say “Texas and OU are big meanies for not hanging around” and that’s not at all what I’m saying. USC, Oregon, FSU, Clemson all feel the same way. The SEC has a much higher ratio of contributor programs than the Big 10, so that situation is different. Again, my point was that the taker programs in the SEC and Big 10 are just guys born on on third thinking they hit a triple. The only decision those schools made to get themselves here was joining the conference they did 150 years ago. We ARENT a big deal, and neither are 2/3rds of the Big 10. But they get paid like it because of the ones who are.

    What in the actual fuck are you talking about or responding to? My point is that Iowa is a program that has leeched from bigger programs for years, but because those programs are content to allow it, Iowa fans have let it go to their head and not recognize how lucky they are to have just fallen in with the only blue bloods content with such an arrangement 150 years ago. It has fuck all to do with UT, OU, or any Big 12 TV deal.

    Which would result in a pay cut
  16. Al_4_ISU
    They definitely aren’t getting kicked out. But I bet they take a pay cut.

    This is why it could happen. If TV wants 60-70 schools in the top division for inventory’s sake, they may push them into the Big 12. If the SEC and Big 10 are cool on FSU and Clemson, they know the Big 12 would be ecstatic. They can pay them (FSU/Clem) less in the Big 12 than the SEC, but if it’s better than the ACC, it will make sense for FSU and Clemson too. It would raise the profile of the third conference which would probably generate more overall interest than shoving all the brands into too tight of a proximity (which causes current brands to lose more games and generate less interest in them). Its very possible that they view the SEC and Big 10 as “full” in terms of high end football.

    I always have Whataburger ketchup handy. The spicy version that is.

    My favorite argument they make for Ferentz is “he puts so many guys in the NFL”. All that NFL talent and he has one Big 10 co-championship in a year they didn’t play the other co-champ (Ohio State) and one NY6 bowl win to show for it. Matt Campbell has done those exact same things at ISU and he had to beat OU and UT to do it. I do think Ferentz is a very good coach, but he’s not great.

    I’m absolutely sitting out on my porch with a beer and weed pen listening to “Scooter Blues” on repeat after the kid goes to bed.
  21. Al_4_ISU
    Don’t tell Iowa fans. They think they’re a crucial component of the Big 10’s value, and have no awareness that if we had hooked up with Ohio State and Michigan, and they had hooked up with Nebraska and Oklahoma, they would have spent the last 15 years in existential dread while we suckled at the teat of content benefactors.

    Leftover dogs, kraut, raw onion, pepperoncini, dijon, mustard based relish, Whataburger ketchup, Tillamook cheddar hinge, shitty low carb wrap. Deductions for permanent plating.

    Why is anyone still operating under the delusion that who you play sports against says anything about your school? It's probably one of the dumbest parts of the conference model.
  24. Al_4_ISU
    1.0 would mean you literally had straight alcohol pumping through your veins, correct?
  25. Al_4_ISU
    The lesser schools in the Big 10 hate Michigan and Ohio State and have been free riding for years. Michigan and Ohio State just don't care, and never have.
