Big 12 in position to poach Pac 12 schools?

[82 Frog Fever]

I believe it was mentioned here. Crow considers himself a candidate for the now open Stanford President position. Might explain some of his back and forth. Serving two masters.

I hadn’t heard that.
It could explain some of his decisions, but if it does, ASU should fire him immediately.

As a Phoenix frog, I am pumped to watch TCU football/baseball/Bball in phx and Tucson in the years to come! My 6 month old son is equally thrilled!

Does the Pac-4 still get an auto bid?

Posted this elsewhere, but thought here also:

Playing around with a permanent rivals situation, while not perfect, a starting point. Assuming all 4 corners.
With 16 teams, you can have 3 permanent rivals and play 6 or the remaining 12 teams each year. Now to apply that to basketball, that would be a home and home with each of the 3 rivals and once against the other 12 for an 18 game conference schedule in basketball.

I generally tried to get 2 of 3 close for each of the schools and not break up any historical rivalry games. I also tried to avoid complete east west distance, ie no Utah-WVU. Also old SWC got two old SWC and old Big 8 got 2 old Big 8.

UH - Tech, BU, UCF
Tech - UH, TCU, Colorado
TCU - Tech, BU, Az St
BU - UH, TCU, BYU
Az - Az St, Utah, Ok St
Az St - AZ, TCU, BYU
Utah - BYU, Az, ISU
BYU - Utah, BU, Az St
Col - Tech, ISU, K St
Ok St - Kan, ISU, Az
Kan - Ok St, K St, Cincy
K St - Kan, Col, WVU
ISU - Col, Ok St, Utah
Cincy - WVU, UCF, Kan
WVU - Cincy, K St, UCF
UCF - UH, Cincy, WVU

If it was and 8 game conference schedule for football, just 1 permanent rival:
UH-Tech, BU-TCU
Az-Az St, BYU-Utah
Col-Ok St, Kan-K St
WVU-Cincy, ISU-UCF

Obviously not perfect, but interesting.

He didn’t make it up, but he didn’t consider his source either.

In other words: He and everybody else got played.

Same here. The only thing better will be if ASU and UTAH get invited at half price.

DAYUMMMM - they got the screws put to them.

Thank goodness we had BY leading the conference the past year and not Bob Bowlsby, who knows where we would be had BY not jumped the line to secure that media deal with the flexibility to add teams

 

[The Bad Guy]

Dare I say this conference is much more interesting now with OU and Texas gone? Talk about having no idea every year who could be in the championship game.

UU has received and accepted an invite to the B12. The B12 vote on UU ASU was held previously a couple days ago and approved.
An announcement could happen as soon as this evening, but more likely Saturday in conjunction with UA.
Still no word on ASU, and their offer is still in Brett’s pocket.
