    If they begin before Texas/OU leave, it would be 20 teams...

    You do realize this is a professional-looking parody account, right?

    I personally wouldn't care, at all. I'd like to have them back. Good location, decent media market. I get why they left the first time so I really don't have an anger towards them for the decision. All of us "left behinds" would have don the same. In general, they are so mediocre they're not really even worth the hate. I always liked playing them but they never really even crossed my mind any other time of the season. 

    Coming back will be a blessing in disguise for them. CU was better recruiting TX than CA.

    Big 18...just rolls off the tongue

    Yep.  I mean would the 8 teams leaving the Pac have to pay a buyout to presumably Cal/Stan/OSU/Wazzu?  I think not. Hopefully all sides agree to just move forward amicably.  Also, as of right now, if the Big 12 gets to 18, do they all get a piece of the buyout or just the original 8 that are left?  Big 12 teams are seeking damages but have no issues with hurting the PAC and AAC?

    Nobody leaving the PAC will pay a buyout bc they're not leaving until the GoR expires after next year. That's the difference.

    The Pac-12's projected AAV (annual average value) dropped significantly from $500 million annually (approximately $42 million per school) to $300 million ($30 million) for the remaining 10 teams after the league lost USC and UCLA, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

    Navigate, a sports and entertainment consultant group, stated in March that members of a 12-team Big 12 would earn $52 million by 2029. Other industry insiders have disputed that figure.

    Who's got the FOX's or ESPN's formula for AAV?

    I'd have to think Texas fans would have more fun with the Arky version of the SWC than what the current SEC will be.

    Incorrect

    Not many of us will miss BU, TCU, SMU, Rice, or UH. Maybe Tech, a little bit.

    No one has said it yet, but the basketball tournament is worth over a billion dollars a year and less than half of that goes to the power 5 conferences.  If you think these schools will abandon long time rivals in football but then turn around and stump for a small catholic university in rural Washington state in basketball then I got some beach front property to sell you in Arizona.  Hosting a power 5 only tournament may not pull in the same amount of money as the current tournament, but it will mean more money overall for the power 5.  Love it or hate it, to me this seems inevitable.

    Hate it.

    Underdogs are what make the current NCAA Tournament compelling, IMO.

    If the ACC has crumbled, that means the SEC has taken UNC, UVA, FSU, and Clemson.

    It also leaves the SEC open to building a helluva basketball league if it wanted to go to 24, which I think is a reasonable probability. When the breakaway happens, basketball will have excellent value.

     

    The NCAA Tournament is one thing the NCAA manages well, IMO. I'd hate to see the mid-majors get shut out and not participate bc I enjoy seeing Gonzaga and others compete. Who doesn't love an underdog?

    I know it's just a graphic for the sake of a graphic but LoL at the idea of the folks of Carthage, TX giving a fuck about TCU or those Del Rio denizens being all "Sic Em Bears"

    I've not spent much time in either town. Carthage = aggy? Del Rio = what?

    (I mentioned their best year was their first in the SEC, and he said that was "only because of Johnny...and Arch isn't Johnny.")

    1. aggy never has an explanation for why their first SEC season was their best - with athletes built to win in the "inferior" Big 12.
    2. True. Arch will actually have an NFL career.
