So can the conference known as the Big 10 acquire the rights to the Big 14 name from the conference currently known as the Big 12?

They don't go by BigTen anymore. They go by B1G - which is just BIG. Very open ended, so they're good.

and thats not confusing at all when somebody talks abot the East Division of the BIG. Good thing that nobody will confuse the B1G East with the Big East.

I am sorry I have hated this B1G abbreviation thing even more than I hated Leaders and Legends. All because the Big10 and Big12 can't pick names that make sense.

Go with something like the Big North and the Big Central, or maybe something like Great Lakes and Great Plains. Ok, those suggestions aren't 100% accurate either but they give a better sense of who they are than just using numbers. Pick something that is more in line with the PAC, SEC, ACC conferences who focus on geography in their identity, which represents the reality that the P5 are mostly alligned into geograpic regions.

Just pick names that make some sense and stop obssessing about the Marketing and Brand that only confuses the casual fan. You can argue changing the name of the BigTen will confuse fans? What do you think B1G did?

I just ignore the "rebranding" and still call it the Big Ten and always will.

Similarly, that school in Los Angeles is always "Southern Cal" to me (as it was for decades) and not "USC".

Gret job with the ID4 Reference!

Entertaining indeed.

Did I miss what the "BD clause" is?

Oh to live in your head..

Eh, Miko probably found out that the B12 is about to add Cinci and Memphis. He has no problem with Cinci, but he is big-time butthurt over the addition of Memphis. His hatred of Memphis goes way back to when WVU was still in the Big East.

That's rather arrogant of you to think that I'd care that much about Memphis either way. I'm sure it's a great school for some people, and I hold no personal animus against them.

Seen the trailer for the sequel last week. It looks amazing. I am still upset that Will isn't in it though.

I am too, but I think he's moved on to bigger things. That new film "Concussion" looks pretty intense.

If we could only have one of Will or Goldblum, we got the better deal.

‏@ChuckCarltonDMN Big 12's Bob Bowlsby on lack of title game: "It seems to me we have to acknowledge we're somewhat at a disadvantage ..."

If the CCG must be between division winners, I don't think the Big 12 will go to a 2 by 5 format.


Here is the article:
http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-...conference

2 tidbits:
"The 13th data point has not gone away as a concern, with CFP selection committee chairman Jeff Long saying that Michigan State's win over Iowa in the Big Ten title game "was significant" in the rankings. "

"We have fewer data points," Bowlsby said in an interview this week. "We have 12 and if you play a championship game you have 13 games. It seems to me we have to acknowledge we're somewhat at a disadvantage and that some years we can overcome the disadvantage and some years, perhaps, we won't be able to."

The b12 lucked out this year with the Stanford and notre dame both having multiple losses, otherwise they're not in. OU dropped from 3 to 4 on championship week, meaning a one loss champ would've superseded the b12 champ.

Records are still sealed, and no record of the lawsuit will be found anywhere on the web. But I can give you the inside scoop. There was a plea agreement reached yesterday. Big12 expands by 2. Even though the value isn't there, agreements are agreements. Merry X-mas to 2 schools I guess.

You're welcome.

Seriously, how are these threads allowed? Miko usually posts good stuff when he's not doing threads like these. Just saying

Now we guess which 2 schools are the Big12 forced to take. I'm guessing BYU and Boise

Dude wth?

You are of course 100% wrong, but that's never stopped you from lying about UCONN and their fans before.
