Big 12 in position to poach Pac 12 schools?

[Limey Frog]

By my count this is now the 162nd time in this thread that a BoR meeting agenda has been posted with speculation about which item(s) may be related to conference realignment.

Very true.

Any social media profile change by a commit: he gone

I know. Thank you for having the courage to call out all those other fakes, and thank you for having the intelligence to recognize that mine is the only true BoR meeting agenda.

Vegas can make money off anything.
These are the odds of the ”next” team to move to the B12.
UA + Co = 49%. Makes sense, even money.

Interesting that Vegas has Memphis in 3rd place. Do they know something we don't ? Also interesting the most likely candidate is only at 29%.

But it’s “next“ team to move, not just move.
That’s why UA & Co. add to 49%, because it’s even money that one of those two will move first.

I mean they are undoubtedly talking about it. It's what they will or won't actually do that's in question.

I love the lean to the west. Colorado, Arizona, A. St., Utah. If possible 4 only. Just my 2 cents worth.

If we do that can we please return BYU, UCF, UH and Cincinnati back where they came from?

Im just foolin’ around. I have no clue what they’re gonna talk about.
It could could be a discussion on the evils of locker room hazing for all I know.

Does he still own them? Does he think they have gone downhill too? Sorry if I have stepped on any toes.

He sold them about a decade ago to a guy with 40+ stores. One location is no longer around.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

The second is still there.

He got out at right time. There is too much competition for these locations.

Cool deal. Parents looked at being a franchisee for them and did not do it. They went with Wendy's instead.

I looked at buying both stores as they waive net worth requirements for family members. I passed on the opportunity.

Burger King has never not microwaved the burgers. The charbroil they do is then frozen to be reheated in a microwave. Always been their model.

I asked my FIL this weekend. They do microwave the burgers when they don't come right off the broiler. He always asks for a fresh one when he gets one these days.

Good grief. I can think of several good reasons why adding UConn would be awkward at best, but it continues to feel like BY has a big woody for UConn

I might be in the minority but I'm all for diversifying and monetizing. While we will never be on cash par with the B10 or Segregation Central we certainly have an opportunity to differentiate ourselves(cash wise and reach wise from PAC and ACC.

Kick those tires BY!

who the heck is jim williams and scheiss no to uconn

Adding UConn as a "full member" is just brain damaged. I can see the addition as a basketball-only member, but Football? Baseball? Soccer? Insane...

I suppose it's not much worse of an airplane ride than to WVU. Or to Central Florida for that matter.

Still, I share the opinion.

(Apologies for repeating some previous posts here, but...)

1. Big 12 won't add any full members that the presidents of the existing members don't want or that ESPN and Fox won't give an additional payout for at a full share, which amounts to the same thing.

2. Yormark may be flirting so hard with U Conn in an attempt to make the 'Four Corners' schools feel that their landing spot won't be there forever and they may risk ending up without a home (if that's true, it seems rather a hollow bluff; the Big XII will clearly wait as long as we need to for the Pac 12 to sort their nonsense out).

3. I could live with U Conn as a basketball-only member (perhaps alongside a few others like Creighton) and guaranteeing their football program 8 non-conference games a year. Playing U Conn in football every second year out-of-conference would be fine; being in the same league as them is a step back to our WAC/C-USA days (no thanks).

there is no value to playing uconn in football, they aren't notre dame which brings brand value, a home and home isn't appealing, and would rather play another p5 or a regional school

outside of basketball, what do they offer and i am not convinced the big 12 brand in basketball didn't get stronger with the addition of uh and cincy
