    An aggy L here would give me a better erection than any blue pill 

    I bet an aggy fan-boy they'd lose at least 4 games this season. An L here will help seal the deal for me. Roller coaster off track Game 2. Schwing!

    That said, the Rutgers add is going poorly.   I saw an article this week suggesting that Rutgers might have to jump ship out of the Big Ten due to not being able to afford the increased expenses of Big Ten membership.  I don't think the B1G will be in any hurry to repeat anything that resembles the Rutgers experiment.  

    But, they're THE State University of New Jersey!

    I didn't say a better place, but a very good place. Tech is always going to be screwed because of geography. I think the Irate 8 + UCF, UH, BYU, and Cincy is about where Tech belongs. 

    I don't see the new Big 12 as relegation. The conference will almost certainly receive an automatic bid when the playoffs expand. If OK State wins the Big 12, they'll have the same chance as the Big Ten, Pac 12, ACC, and SEC champions. Just as OK State had a chance to play for the national title in 2011 before losing to Iowa State. Win your games and the rest will take care of itself. 

    In my opinion, the Irate 8 are pissed because they can't rub elbows with blue bloods in the group photo anymore. My advice to them is to build up their programs to elite status. Florida State, Clemson and Oregon are good recent examples. It can happen with the right coach. 

    None of the Irate 8 were making a 4-team playoff unless they were undefeated anyway.

    BU and TCU will attest to that. TV has always been pulling the strings.

    Think about it, why would 4 schools who currently make $9 mil per year off Tier 1 rights, suddenly increase the Irate 8 from about $10mm per year (after UT and OU leave) up to $22mm per year like that article claims? 

    Speaking of which, where did you get the $10mm per year figure for the Irate 8's Tier 1 rights sans UT and OU?

    The ones I genuinely don't care about at all are Baylor and TCU. And West Virginia just because whatever, they're way over there. And I guess Kansas State because come on, is that even really a university?

    I heard you say that in your Archer voice. You should've referenced hillbillies, too, like they do on the show.

    Hell, not the same thing, but there's a recent story from Missouri still trying to blame Texas's greed for why Missouri left for the SEC in 2011. That bullshit wasn't called out then and never has been by our conference partners, they just let everyone run with that story because they liked the evil Texas narrative. And, for the record, Missouri deserves a lot more of your scorn than they're getting.

    Mizzou's rationale for leaving the Big 12 didn't get much scrutiny because nobody besides Kansas even missed them.

    Big 12 w/ BYU, UC, UCF & UH  
    Tier 1-2 $22.0*
    Tier 3 (ESPN+) $4.0
    Tier 3 (Sponsorships, radio, etc.) $11.0
    Big 12 Championship ($20mm) $1.67
    Sugar Bowl ($30mm) $2.5**
    NCAA Championship (17-21) $1.2
    TOTAL $42.4

    * Following Big 12 10% reduction
    ** Sugar Bowl 40mm payout minus team expenses

    Wow, that's better than I thought the revamped Big 12 would do. Only a $4 MM pay cut annually? The Irate 8 should be very happy with this result. They can potentially make up the difference with an expanded CFB Playoff.

    ISU does it for every big game, which makes it even more annoying. All their biggest moments in a great decade and no red and yellow to be found. 

    I don't know what kids like about generic, black & white uniforms. Cardinal & Gold are great colors and should always be worn for big games. Every game, if I were the AD.

    That's the Iowa State brand

    SMU, Tulane, Tulsa won’t allow UTSA or especially UNT in.  If they are adding a Texas team don’t sleep on Rice.  Tulane won’t let in a Louisiana school, UCF won’t allow FAU/FIU nor will ECU allow Appalachian State.

    ...and aggy won't allow UT into the SEC

    Oh, snap
