The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[dabrockster]

I think what the Family Von Clueless is hinting at is that Notre Dame won't be going to the B12. Instead, Notre Dame and BYU will go as a package deal to the B1G, rounding out their expansion to 14 teams.

If that comes to pass I will literally shit my pants...

[TripletDaddy]

So to clarify, the latest "inside info" is that BYU and Notre Dame are going to team up as co-persecuted entities, but only if the B12 passes on BYU first, and given the fact that Notre Dame is a "purebred" that is wanted by "everyone." In other words, Notre Dame could go anywhere in the country and its choice is to link up with BYU, Army, Navy, and Air Force, in part because liberals are in favor of gay marriage.











































lol!

Opportunities to play "across" the country rather than being limited to a geographically based conference....... Just like ND and the service academies are not geographically-based, neither is BYU.

The end game from the BOT perspective isn't about BCS access, but rather alignment with those of common interests and exposure to a broader audience.

In other words, not better than the big12

I think your pants are safe.

This is the kind of Big thinking I like. But no.

Will these games continue to be 2:1's?

Will the four games with the super conferences be 2:1's also?

How does this work?

"Hello Michigan/ASU/Clemson/Oklahoma AD. This is Tom Holmoe. When can we schedule this football game?"

"I don't want to schedule you."

"Well Notre Dame said you have to. It's on account of our support in Prop 8."

Too bad.. I would of taken one for the team for that invitation....

[falafel]

Clearly you need to take lessons from Chip.....

THIS IS REALLY HUGE AND BYU HOLDS ALL THE CARDS IN ITS HAND! THE BIG-12 WILL NOT ONLY GIVE US RE-BROADCAST RIGHTS, 8 TIER 1 GAMES A YEAR AND AN ARMED ESCORT OUT OF MISSOURING BUT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT THE FIRST 10 BIG-12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES WILL BE A ROTATION OF MICHAEL MCCLAIN, MICHAEL BALLAM (NOW IS THE DAY OF OUR POWER!!!!) AND GLADYS KNIGHT!

THIS WILL PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT WE LOVE POOFTAHS, EVIL AND OTHERS OF ETHNIC MINORIITIES! I THINK WE WILL EVEN INVITE THE UNIVERSITY OF WYO BAND THE SATURDAYS THAT SISTER GLADY SINGS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!

lol.

Notre Dame AD: Prop 8 sucked for us. You guys?
Holmoe: Totally.
Notre Dame AD: You wanna start an athletic conference?
Holmoe: I guess. What about the service academies?
Notre Dame AD: whatever.
Holmoe: cool.

[Green Monstah]

If some sort of alliance with ND and the service academies results in a BCS Autobid, I will be fine with that.

Wrongican shaka khan. My knees are stiffer than a junior seamen's pecker entering a Pearl Harbor Brothel after a 6 month tour at sea!

BYU WILL BE IN THE BIG 12 AND YOU PUSSIES BETTER NOT TOUCH ANY OF MY POSTS ABOUT IT OR I'LL KILL YA!

I am just gently mocking the absurd notion of BYU's Alliance of Independents with Notre Dame and 3 institutions that are so superior to the BYU, and likely Notre Dame, that I am trying to understand why they would even consider competing against them? Not only does West Point have more Rhodes Scholars (Does BYU have even 1 yet?) but I am pretty sure the average SAT score of its incoming freshman are higher.

You folks are not worthy of us. We rather play Cornell!

More Chip

Notre Dame, meanwhile, is seriously considering moving its non-football sports out of the Big East into the Big 12, two more sources close to the situation have confirmed to Orangebloods.com.

The Irish would make no official decision or announcement on this matter until after the football season - most likely in January, the sources said.

Somebody is in the know...

The exact words I heard were "God's Conference"
