    Glad he said it in Lubbock, lol, y’all mad enough at us already. (yes I know our series is over).

    At this rate they may award you guys a final win over Texas this year. Invent a new no-contest win or something :)

    Does he really want enlightenment on which schools were entertaining or seriously negotiating moves to other conferences in the past 5-10 yrs? I'll save him the trouble - pretty much every D1 AD not in the SEC or B10. 

    UT and OU gave the B12 3-4 years of runway on the transition. I think the other schools Vertigo listed gave one year, if that. 

    One year ago at this time, in violation of Big 12 bylaws, the honorable Texas Tech University was very busy aggressively/duplicitously begging to get into the PAC 12.

    You’re comparing the conference office openly disparaging a member, and expressing a desire for a specific outcome in a game, to fans on message boards suggesting that the Texas AD ran the conference? 

     

    They are intentionally not getting it. Nobody is consistently this bad at logic.

    I mean....I know the general consensus about this here, and believe me I share the same feeling as most of yall about it but....

     

    If we monkey-stomp Tech I would love to hear a massive SEC-SEC chant to end that game. 

    The chants are inevitably going to happen this season and I know we will be angry with ourselves the morning after.

    Yormark face stickers as urinal targets would be harmless mischief that conveys a succinct message while also encouraging patrons to aim. They’d also manifest a lower risk of someone squawking “trademark violation” than might a similarly dispatched Big12 logo. 

    I'm supposed to know what this idiot looks like?

    Would you feel better had he been disingenuous and displayed more stealth like that shown by the  UT and OU brain trusts when plotting to leave the Big 12?  UT and OU are lame duck members. They’re happy and so are Big 12 schools. What’s the big deal?

    I don't think it is normal behavior. I guarantee if the comish was actively rooting for Texas to beat Tech you wouldn't be cool with it.

    But, whatever, it is par for the course with this conference.

    We've still got games to play, we'd love to have the illusion that the Conference was unbiased in the outcomes.

    $2-$10, and there's NO way it'll be $10.  UCLA has the autonomous right to move, and exercised it.  The more punitive the penalty, the harder they'll fight it.

    yeah, I'm pretty sure UCLA is paying whatever the Regents say they have to pay. Who told you the campuses have individual autonomy? 

  8. I always thought this was viewed as a mutually beneficial deal by all parties. Ole Miss boosters take in an adult sized teenager who can play football and steer him to their preferred college and get society good guy points. Kid being let down by the system with social and potentially learning issues gets a place to get his feet under him and gets help getting minimum grades to get into major university. All parties get what they need/want and everyone wins. 

    Unfortunately, forgot about the money.

    The Big10 has never taken a non AAU school in their history. The B2 in the latest round of expansion has taken pairs with at least 1 of them being in the top 15 of viewership with Washington being the lowest 2nd fiddle at ~35.  ND is the only one that fits both of those and imo they are far off from joining the Big10. UVA, UNC and Miami don't add full share value unless ND drags one of them with. FSU and Clemson probably don't get SEC anytime soon with their antics so the ACC will be stable for a few more years. 

    I read on here that University of Oregon is a community college with a tiny fan base. TIL they are actually AAU and have been top 15 in viewership.

  10. Man, Aggy is lucky as fuck that the NCAA is completely powerless to do anything except sell broadcast rights to a basketball tournament that member schools host. The admission of the improper benefits and obvious lie about having family money would be USC-type bad news for them. This was way worse than Reggie Bush and the coaches all knew he didn't come from a rich family so they are way more complicit than USC was since Manziel was all over social media and regular media spending his money.

    The IRS, however, is alive and kicking and loves to come get people like Johnny. He better start getting really quiet or he is going to get garnished for life.

  11. I thought the Big 12 was trying to break up the Pac to get Oregon and Washington because they assumed they wouldn't get invited to the Big10.

    That's the opposite of why a conference would want Stanford though.  They have not been an easy win in football for the last decade; it was somewhat fitting that Shaw went out with another nailbiter win over ND.  But they do have a book of gold medalists and championships in sports that we only see in James Bond flics.

    Agree, I'm struggling to find the mutual win in Cal and Stanford to ACC. Stanford was talking about dropping sports during COVID and didn't due to pushback. I don't see how the finances work better to fly athletes in all those sports to the East Coast.

  12. Cal and Stanford being football only members in the ACC could help them. They should have the luxury of being able to build a structure that allows them to join a more local conference for the Olympic sports.

    I guess I'm not sure how the ACC is made better by that deal. But, I don't see how the Big 12 benefitted at all from adding Arizona et.al. so maybe I'm missing the master strategy of this.

    I don't think Cal or Stanford either one are 'boring' opponents, whether it is basketball or football either one.  They definitely have tradition in their own right, with cats like McCaffrey, Rahgahs, BeastMode, etc, etc through the years into.

    There are currently two Cal Alumni starting QBs in the NFL. And Stanford has a ton of alumni currently on NFL rosters. historically, these schools pump out a surprising number of NFL players.

    But, living in the Bay Area, it is true that there is basically no outreach to the surrounding community to engage in the sport. It is like they are trying to keep it a secret that there are two NFL factories nearby.
