The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[New Mexican Disaster]

I can't believe they're so stupid to give the Big 12 an in like that every year.

That's it, though. I don't think we're ever getting in if it goes like that.

I can't believe it either. What is the point of having 14 team conferences then or 12. Just get rid of the dead weight and consolidate.

Maybe they figure they'll give the Big 12 enough rope to hang themselves with, let them have this concession, and then pick them apart when everyone goes to 16.

We're screwed. I'm so tired of this.

Would be funny if the PAC-12 kicked out Utah and Colorado and then went with a round robin schedule with a PAC-10 championship game.

Well, I don't see why the SEC needs Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Arkansas or Missouri. I'm fine with them being in the conference, but we don't need them and they don't bring any extra money into the conference.

Miss. St. yes, Vandy perhaps if you don't care at all about academics. But Missouri seems like a keeper to me. Missouri is a big state with only one major program.

But the Pac 10 should drop Washington State and Utah, not Colorado and Utah.

I would love that.

This is kind of dumb talk if you really think about it.

I'm sure the MWC would welcome them back. Or they could try their hand at Independence.

Of course it is.

Yes and allowing a conference with a round robin schedule to play a conference championship game is so dumb it engenders dumb talk.

My guess is the championship game being a rematch of a game played the previous week will be a fairly regular occurrence. Must see TV.

Yeah, this last year could have been a rematch of OU vs OSU on neutral field after the sooner beat the snot out of the pokes on their home court the week before. I am sure Stoops would have loved that.

This year the b12 sked was "backloaded" to hep overcome the lack of a CCG. If the ncaa allows a round robin leading to a CCG I suspect they will "front load" the sked so you won't likey have rematches on consecutive weeks.

Yeah, and the Big 10 did the same but then the Big 12 added BYU and Nebraska.

Bedlam is not moving. TCU/Baylor is probably not moving. I don't know how realistic it is to frontload the schedule to avoid rematches.
