The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Babs]

I think we'll have something like the NFL where the dynasties are fewer.

It's simply a continuation of the trend we've seen since the recruiting limits were instated.

the thing I don't get about super conferences is what happens when these bread winners don't have the Iowa States of the world to beat up on anymore? Do we just assume that there will always be enough talent for all these teams to remain competitive or are we just going to create new Iowa States?

This is a great question that no one who supports this super conferences idea (or thinks that it will happen) can answer. I'm sure that all the "major" Universities that are used to going 7-5 or 8-4, making a bowl game, and calling it a great season are going to love never making the postseason. Unless they are going to just keep 32 bowls and everyone gets in.

I agree with everthing except the last sentence. Geography concerns are over overrated IMO. The names on these Super Conferences might change based on strange geography of its teams and it may not matter at all. The TV market in Utah is strong and BYU is a top 30 team without question.

Inclusion is a foregone conclusion.

Geography really matters a lot only if the non-football sports have to belong to the same super conferences as football.

In a superconference scenario, I see a strong push to keep all the other sports separate.

Viking, percentage wise, how confident are you in your source? In your mind is there any way this doesn't happen?

Viking, answer this question. Now, dammit! Please.

There's zero doubt in my mind that BYU has a spot.

The only doubt is if they take it.

Ugh.

Whatever happens... it will be fine.

Hmmmmm, I don't know about that. I just don't think they would ever take BYU.

This would be great for two reasons:

1. BYU would come to the coast more often;

2. SU's head would explode (figuratively speaking).

How are you so sure it wouldn't be literal?

It would be phenomenal!

This dog hunts. A 16 team league diffused the no Sunday play significantly.

Is this all coming from today's Tweets? Because everything I have seen today sounds a lot like empty air.
