Big 12 Expansion

We must kill the PAC now while it is vulnerable. Less competition.

The last ten years of college football industry jockeying have proved that the market dynamics tilt toward the east. We don't want to be on the West Coast for the sake of being on the West Coast; you'd do it for USC, but you shouldn't do it for Cal. If they're interested, we want the four schools whose names are being consistently mentioned, then we need to wait on what happens to the ACC. within a year or two we might be picking up several of Nc State, Pitt, Syracue, BC, GT, VT, Louisville, etc.

I would rather add Cal than Utah. It would be the XII's Rutgers. Sure Cal sucks, but it gets a huge tv market.

Utah would not add a TV market.

I’d rather leave Cal desperately looking for a landing spot and not being able to find one. That’s what they deserve.

Maybe they don’t even care. That wouldn’t surprise me either.

hmmm ... don't understand such hate/vitriol? Found our 20% frog fans were treated pretty graciously in Cal's section at the Cheez-its Bowl.

And the Big 12 ends up with 16 (not counting the two we are slamming the door on as they walk away). How big do we go? And why that number?

We stop at 18 or 20. Schedules get terrible after that. Play your division + X number of games against teams from other division.

1 OOC game per year + Big 12 title game at Cowboys

For this reason, I think we only take 2 teams from PAC 12 and wait for ACC. Oregon and Utah are first choice.

Interest in UW or Colorado is minimal - extra hate for Colorado since they left the Big 12 already

Cal and Stanford are rumored to be considering shutting down football or moving to lower level

I'd rather drop BYU and replace it with Utah.

We'd get a better corporate partner. One that could be trusted a little more.

BYU has no leverage in a 12+ school conference where their inclusion more or less makes no difference. Entirely different situation than the MWC.

They need the league much more than the league needs them.

Didn't they do that already?

I don't get any of the anti-BYU/Utah sentiment. They're both amazing programs. Yes, Zoobs are all insane, egotistical weirdos, but their football program is terrific and playing them is worthwhile. When we were in the MWC those two games were electric every year; everything else about the whole conference sucked.

Had to google that. Right over my head. Is it a rap song?

The TV suits know the value of every school. Keep adding until the next one doesn't add anything to the TV deal.

I'm a firm believer in taking the bird in the hand. Would we have offered UH, CINN, UCF AND BYU if we knew we could get the 4 mountain teams? I don't know, but without the first 4 we may not be viewed as stable enough for the PAC teams. (Can't believe I just said that.)

We must kill the PAC now while it is vulnerable. Less competition.

I just feel like there are some ACC teams to be had in the future. If ND joins B10 that might spell the end for the ACC. I guess depends on if NBC wants to continue that relationship with ND.

I agree - cal hasn’t cared about football and it’s public knowledge the academics run the school and hate sports.

Sonny dykes has even discussed this as part of the reason he left due to “support”
