    You have no idea the hate between idaho and the smurfs. Non starter. 

    Good for them or not, pac will not take byu. There are maybe 5 or 6 schools left in that conference that give a shit about athletics and byu's baggage will never get approval. 

    Boise is a non-starter. Regardless of eyeballs for a school that I still don't think has sold out a home football game in almost 20 years (fact check it, not positive), Berkley isn't going to allow a school that still offers a truck driving degree into the pac. 

    I think the pac grabs okie lite and tech and who knows else. I would say 2 of the following: san diego state (state school, state school) unlv and new mexico. 

    Their new commissioner seems infinitely more capable than scott. I also wouldn't be surprised with some sort of alliance with the Big. 

    Probably true about Berkeley, but mixing academic snobbery and athletics is why the Pac is in this position. Are the academic standards at Oregon St and Wazzu really that high? I don't care enough to look.

    North:  WVU, Cincinnati, Memphis, ISU, KSU, KU
    South:  OSU, TTU, TCU, Baylor, Houston, BYU (Football only)

     

    Throw a bone to KU and add Creighton (17K+ attendance for home games) as an everything but football member.  Gives the baseball schools some away games at the home of the college world series, too.  That leaves the Big 12 as a competitive football conference and an elite basketball conference.  

    Swapping Memphis and BYU makes more sense geographically in your scenario.

    I'm not sure a non-football Creighton will get a bigger pay-out in this revised Big 12 vs their Big East contract.

    2036, but again the GOR hasn’t been challenged in court.  If the Big Ten had an agreement to take UVA, UNC, Duke. And GT they’d probably be willing to fight it, because once that goes down all hell breaks loose.  This is why conferences will always settle, the risk to them if they loose the court battle over the GOR is too great.

    The defectors and spurned leagues have always settled before, but it looks like our resident numbskull is digging his heels in. Of course, it's probably all empty bluster. I guess we'll find out by year's end.

    I knew this Scientologist who was a very solid white cover corner in Pennsylvania.  Ended up following his coach to some California school.  Coach moved on to Minnesota st where he hired the worlds dumbest offensive and defensive coordinators.

    Djordjevic moved pretty good, but had attitudinal issues

    .....but you winning that makes Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue and Maryland look worse by comparison.  So they’ll be giving you $50 million a year to beat up on teams that have larger population centers and alumni bases and possibly driving those market more towards NFL and less towards college.  I don’t get it for their business model.

    That's what we expected Corn to do, but I doubt they ever will.

    It started under Les Miles, and Bob Simmons had one magical year in 1997. But yeah, it basically started in 2001. We were terrible before then, except for a blip in the 40s, and while cheating in the 80s.

    Hart Lee Dykes and Thurman Thomas

    Nobody who followed Greater Houston HS football closely understood why either signed with OSU. Now we know better. Inside scoop?

    BYU is independent.  Its clear that they like to gamble.

     

    They also rolled the dice and played hardball with the Big 12 back in 2011.  The window Cougars lost.

    Refresh my memory - how did BYU "play hardball" with the Big 12?
