Big 12 should have added Louisville. They fricked that up bad


If they had added the Cards within weeks of Nebraska pulling out the Big 12 would probably still have 12 members. Aside from the Cards themselves, they were a good bridge between Missouri and West Virginia and would have strengthened the north while giving WVU a rival and not making them the island they are now.

If the Big 12 stayed at 12, not too sure the B1G or SEC go to 14. Pretty sure Notre Dame stays in the Big East and you still have 6 conferences instead of 5. Cincinnati and Connecticut probably slid farthest down in the realignment saga.

They would have had to add WVU in place of Colorado too obviously, but I disagree. That conference was a sinking ship and it was only a matter of time

Kick bama out and add Tulane


This. Based on history it's ridiculous to make Bama play a regular conference season. It just leads to hurt feelings.

Bama should get an automatic bye to one of the four playoff spots.

It's what true Americans want.

Wait. is this real? I have got to read that thread.


eta: I wouldn't mind adding WVU. Would add the DC market with their out of state student body, and I'd like to pay a visit to West Virginia for some sight seeing. Plus their fanbase travels well and they have a competitive athletic program

They are probably mistaking our vocal coach and AD on scheduling (bridge and permanent) as something more than it is.

Very real. It's in the realignment thread on their football forum. Prepare to belly laugh.

Somethings have to be seen and read to be believed:

Well if we are talking unicorns and stuff, why not just have the SEC send us the pigs and LSU (or the sluts from Columbia if we want to be more geographically sensible) and let our newest members stay members of the SEC Network. After all, its their Tier III to work with. Each conference gets 12, SEC only has to split playoff money 12 ways and keeps all the inventory on their network.


Realignment talk not going away

I think that's exactly what it is. That coupled with a low football iq, and a blinding rage towards anything aggy.

Kick out Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Missouri.

Add Duke, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia.
