No such luck for you Coug. If this happens, Houston joins the B12 just in time to see it become C-USA 3.0.

Wouldn't discount it as a 0% chance. If B1G gets Oklahoma, you can bet a ton of money that Delany will try to get into Texas.

No, what happens is that The AAC moves to 20 schools as soon as the new divisional rules are agreed upon. Thus they set themselves apart from the other mid major conferences.

If they do go to 4 PConferences and they intend to make them Super-Conferences, then that makes 4 x 20 = 80. There are now 66 P5 schools not counting Army. That means there are 14 Schools on deck.

Delany is the smartest man in realignment. He wouldn't even bother to approach his Presidents with a proposal for adding Houston, going beyond 16 teams. Delany is smart because he uses the list that the Presidents have given him. OU had to be vetted because they weren't originally on the list.

Houston has already been vetted.

Well....I am not a very funny guy so you will just have to take it or leave it

How's that .

So, people really believe Texas and its Texas size ego, is going to the PAC, and give up control of a total conference and go to a conference that is an outlier and a news sport reporting black hole due to the late kick off times of their games and has lukewarm fan support I'll believe it when I see them on the PAC website as a official member.

The Big12 ending up as C-USA 4.0 could happen. None of this will happen quickly. 2-3 teams will jump. 4-5 teams will get invited. A year or two will pass. 2-3 more schools jump. 2-3 new schools get invited. A year or two will pass. The dominos will fall. The Big12 will NOT DIE. It will live on with new members and reinvent itself. At the bottom, the Sunbelt, however, might die. Might. Depends on what C-USA, or the AAC, does.

This is more plausible too me, feeds into what JR has predicted. The B12 survives and becomes the B12/AAC the official - unofficial tweener/challenger conference for the wild card effect in CFB and for that non power PO spot

Credit for what? For predicting something a long time ago that still has not happened? For being wrong the longest?

Until something official is announced, his prediction is still wrong. But if it ever does come true, then and only then, yes, we will all have to give it up to H1.

Don't worry Hawkeye, I would rather expand to the East too.

I hope everything H1 predicts happens, exactly as he predicts it.

And then OU goes to the ACC, PAC or SEC.


That would be a giant, wonderful fly right in the ointment. It would probably make my day.

Wouldn't even care if KU ended up going to the B1G. Just to deny him OU. That's everything.

UT knows they can join any conference but they won't... Clashing with other like minded programs won't last for long.

Indy or simply reloading the big12 is what UT does if OU and/or UK leave, IMHO.

Is any of this really making sense? If you REALLY want to extract as much cash out of this as possible, here is how you do it. Invite all current P5 member institutions to a retreat, figure out the top 70 or 80 universities that should split from the NCAA for their own football association - which would include determining which current P5 schools want to get off the merry go round and not double down on big time athletics. Those universities all sign an agreement where all negotiations for television contracts go to one single entity - just like the professional leagues. Then, all current conferences are scrapped and new divisions are created based purely on geography. All scheduling is done by the league headquarters and will look similar to the NFL method. The regular season expands to 14 games - everyone gets equal H and H schedules. There is an 8 team playoff. All bowls are eliminated. This maximizes the revenue possibilities. No fvcking around with this conference's ego vs that conference's ego, etc.

If you really want to do it right and maximize revenue and profits, this is how you do it.

It's not me, it's not what I want. I want ACC schools but that isn't happening.

The noise is being made because the B1G wants to get the max possible deal with their TV negotiations and they know their brand is highly desirable and nobody else is going ton the market for a decade.

So who are partners with the B1G? FOX and ESPN (only talking football). ESPN can win as well with FOX putting Oklahoma into the B1G if the networks agree to share some of the tier 1 rights.

That in return squeezes an even bigger BID out of NBC or CBS if they want a shot at a game of the week (not saying they need first choice).
