I was referring to football competitiveness. I’m fully aware that an expanded Big 12 without Texas or OU would not be remotely close to the PAC as far as historical value, media markets, alumni base, etc. But as a collection of football programs the expanded Big 12 would have more programs with recent NY6 appearances or who have been in the playoff discussion than the PAC.
If the Big 12 expands to add BYU, UCF, Boise State, and Cincy, that’s actually a solid football conference. Head and shoulders above the AAC and one could even argue on par with the PAC.
In this hypothetical, if the league was gonna split off from the NCAA then I think you’d have to include Notre Dame as well.
I don’t get the benefit to the alliance trying to possibly slow play playoff expansion. Unless they try to revise the playoff to only be conference champs so the SEC can’t get 2 teams in, they’d be isolating one of the members of the alliance most years as the SEC could still get 2 teams into a 4 team playoff a lot of years. It seems like a 12-team model would be more beneficial to the alliance so they could all be assured of a playoff spot. The only benefit to slow playing the 12-team model is preventing the SEC from getting 3 or more in the playoffs but that’s a textbook example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
So basically the “alliance” is absolutely meaningless. Much ado about nothing. SEC should take the best of those 3 conferences and split off from the NCAA
So they’re gonna resume guest hosts again for the first part of next season or are they going to just pick a new permanent host? The guest hosts were interesting at first but after a while I just want a regular host.
Clearly it wouldn’t be ideal but with depth at RB, we could use RoJo as an emergency QB if the situation called for it. He was initially recruited as a QB after all
As long as Sark’s first season doesn’t include a game where we kickoff to start both halves or delay of game penalties coming out of timeouts, I’ll feel much better about his first season than his 2 predecessors
Ugh. Rules are rules for a reason and breaking the rules has consequences. You can’t just opt-out of rules in life. These kids with parents like that are being raised to fail.
Not to mention there are a lot of cases of people who survive Covid but are left with a variety of lifelong impairments such as decreased lung capacity, heart disease, cognitive impairment and so on. Just because someone survives Covid doesn't mean they get off scot free
The whole “emergency use authorization” anti-vaccine argument is such a load of shit. Once those are fully FDA approved the narrative suddenly shifts to “well then the FDA is bought and paid for and can’t be trusted.” Just a convenient argument that they can quickly shift the goalposts on when needed.
Competing for that coveted Trump endorsement. If Trump doesn’t run and endorses DeSantis, he will be the GOP nominee in ‘24 and that scares the shit out of me
Looks like it’s the ESPN station in Houston. Really hoping this forces their hand at some station realignment. I enjoyed all the shows much better before they shuffled everything up last year.
Exactly. It may move the needle for a few but for the rest the excuse will shift to something along the lines of “well it was just approved for political reasons, doesn’t mean it’s actually safe.”
As much as anti-vaxxers crow about not knowing the long-term effects of these vaccines, you’d think they also be concerned about the long-term effects of continually ingesting cattle dewormer
Wow that’s infuriating. What’s the fucking point if the college lists “personal beliefs against the vaccine” as an exemption? When I worked with high school seniors, we always had to make sure the colleges had a copy of their Bacterial Meningitis vaccination records and no one ever batted an eye and I believe they all had very limited exemptions. Colleges have been requiring vaccines for years and no one thought anything of it until now. Fucking idiotic.
