The BigXII shot itself in the foot yesterday with the round-robin setup. 4 of the 5 P5 conferences have a championship game. The higher seed in each of those games got into the playoffs...whether those are the 4 top teams or not. I don't think FSU or OSU are a top 4 team...but that's for another thread.
The Big12 is going to be relying on the lower seed to win one of these championship games from her on out if they choose not to have a B12 CCG. IMO, that isn't a good way to get your conference represented in the playoffs...
The round-robin is cute...but until they expand to 8 teams. The B12 could find themselves in this situation more often than Not.
The Baylor vs KSU was the championship argument is flawed as is the B12 could have had 2 teams in the playoffs...
So....to get the B12 back to....12 teams, what two teams would you add?
I would say that adding Arizona and Arizona State would make it a really strong basketball conference. Also some amazing cities to visit for college kids travelling to games. Park City, Boulder, Tempe, Eugene, Seattle [Reply]

But yeah, we're probably just terrified of a terrible football program not being even worse in the B1G or SEC.... **** how I wish I could watch KU go up against Alabama or Georgia or Ohio State every fall!
I day dream of a day when I can write love letters to 4 star offensive linemen for the world to see after talking about how easy it'll be to recruit in the SEC.
****in' clowns. LMAO
Calling a school a bottom feeder when it went right into the SEC and played in 2/3 conference championships right away is pretty comical. Especially when you realize that KU has literally NEVER played in a conference championship in their entire existence. I think most people understand the trajectory that Mizzou football is headed into right now and that’s why we would be upset to be in the position you are in. Obviously Drink is doing great things with recruiting now with the NIL’s and being in the most competitive conference. We’ll see if he can put together another few top 20 classes and get back to the level we were used to being at again. It should be fun having a good team again with a tough schedule to match up against every week.
I like basketball, but I think winning a title and still having no one come looking for you in the realignment picture tells you all you need to know about the primary vs secondary sports in the collegiate market. It’s not just some Mizzou opinion like you’re trying to suggest. If basketball really moved the pendulum you wouldn’t be stuck in the Big 12 dealing with this year after year now [Reply]

Might be the good part about the Big12 having an extra year of media rights.
You still sticking with that story even after I showed you were incorrect ?
The Baylor fan board has since corrected that faulty analysis btw [Reply]

You showed it was incorrect by giving data of the Pacs 1-3 rights vs the Big12’s tier 1 rights. And even then, it’s all just projections by outside sources. But most people expect the Big12 to continue to make more than the PAC, just like any other year. Big12 wins more games, gets more viewers. It’s just common sense really. [Reply]

Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston were probably at a bit of a disadvantage playing in the G5, and BYU was independent. [Reply]

You still living on ancient history? Moo has been a crash test dummy for the SEC for a decade. That isn't changing. Maybe you'll beat Kentucky in football here and there, and Vandy of course, but you'll never actually threaten the conference powers.
You'll always be bottom feeders in the SEC. [Reply]

Nebraska is going to hire Campbell when Frost is fired this year. How's that make you feel? [Reply]
