It seems everyone is talking about the 20% linear (ESPN Pac 12-2 at Night) and 80% streaming split for the new media deal...
So when is the Big 12 going to announce it's adding some more schools?"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Pretty good food in Albequerque. And UNM is an R1 school.Originally posted by Applejack View Post

rice, not so much.
You could add Colorado State when Colorado leaves. Decent research school.
Logan is a great college town. Don't sleep on Utah State."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I'm not criticizing at all, but this is starting to look like a poor man's Ivy League. If I'm the Four Corners schools, I don't think I'm at all in favor of this move, as it's essentially a capitulation from an athletics perspective. UofA, ASU, UofU and CU are all great schools in their own right, but I'm not sure how the overall student experience benefits from being in this sort of a conference.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostBoth Rice and Tulane. I've been calling it for months.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I read that UNLV was a possibility for the Pac 12-2 as well. Don't forget that Commish George Kliavkoff worked as the President of MGM sports and entertainment before taking the Pac 12 job so he is sure to have friends in Vegas. And the Pac could save some money having the championship game over at Sam Boyd Stadium. I am sure that UNLV has some academics of some sort so check that box.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

UNLV! Another great road trip.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View Post

Let's see here:
Tulane
Rice
UCSB
Caltech
Colorado State
New Mexico
UNLV
SMU
SDSU
Colorado and the two AZ schools likely to leave to the B12.
UW, OU likely to the B1G. Maybe Stanford.
Stanford, Cal could go independent if they don't get the B1G invite.
Therefore, Utah, Oregon State, and Washington state could add the 9 schools above and be right back at 12. Swap in Cal somewhere because they probably don't have the chops to go indy.

BTW, I'm going to the Baylor game this year and the top attractions in Waco include something called Magnolia which is the site of a home design show (
) and the Dr Pepper museum (

Pro tip: stay in Austin and drive up I-35 to Waco for the game. Austin is awesome."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I mean, fair. But also solidifies the reign as the conference of nice destinations where people don't go to football games.Originally posted by Applejack View Post
