Are we missing an opportunity to add a few more teams and change the conference name to 23andMe?

Wait, 23 chromosomes, but does the "and me" mean 24 teams? I'm confused...

I feel bad for the leftover PAC-12 schools which are now part of Conference Twin Peaks.

Nope, not sorry.

Absolutely disgusting, but $3m per school is a big number.
How much can we get for the NASCAR patches?
Cant wait to see the new unis.
Maybe something like “Railhead BBQ” on the back.
Maybe instead of a player’s name, we could put “Joe T Garcia’s“ on the back.
Maybe we could have every player with a different ad on the back. We could charge big $$$ for a Hoover jersey advertisement. I guess Hoover would need a cut though.

DraftKings?!? Dude, you've got Colorado in the Conference. Let the Colorado Weed Growers buy the naming rights. We could be the Mile High Conference! Or the Stoned 12. Maybe the Gimme an Eskimo Pie, Dude Conference...

All-State is rumored to be in the game too

Believe this is more of the reality than the Draftkings stuff. Either way, awful conference name is inbound. Conference USA is looking at doing something similar.

Big 12 is also apparently looking into partnering with some sort of equity investment fund too.

I don't see how this is any different than corporate sponsors for bowl games. Who cares? Free money.

As long as it isn't the Tampax Big XII or something like that.

The “money” ideas floating around CFB are incredible.
In this one, Yormark wants to sell a 20% stake in the B12 for $1B.

Big 12 considering private equity investment of up to $1 billion for as much as 20% of conference

The proposed deal with a Luxembourg-based firm would bring a massive influx of cash to the league

t.co

 

[Big Frog II]

The Big Amazon Conference.

Looks like my previous comment about NASCAR a few days back is about to come true.

The fact that our conference has to do this to compete with the SEC and Big 10 money, just proves that we are back to playing at the kids table. Smh.

I would be OK with being in the middle of the Twin Peaks..........
Ahem...... Which Twin Peaks are we talking about?
