re: Big 12 releases statement on today's news

[quote]It looks like they intend to hold sooner and longhorn in the conference until 2025. [/quote]
TX and OU already have said they'll honor their contract. They don't want to pay out $80m each to the B12 members. They will likely get it reduced later and make the $30-40m payment.

The Big12 will bring in BYU, Houston and two other school (Louisiana, Memphis, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Boise State). They'll survive as the premier non-P5.
People act like Kansas is an obvious B10 pickup but all they play is basketball. Their football team loses to FCS teams semi-routinely....

The decent schools have all been taken. You don't get "better" by taking low level teams.
ACC is already at 14 1/2 schools. WVU isn't giving you anything that it didn't when you turned them down 10 years ago and chose Louisville and Pitt.
Kansas only plays basketball in a football world. Plu...

WVU already was turned down by the ACC when they begged.
This is a football world. KU is a basketball school. You don't need to be in a major conference to be a national contender in basketball. ...

Or, it's a rumor floated to generate a bidding war between the PAC12, ACC and Big10. Texas floated a crapload of rumors just for this reason back around 2010. Back then the rumors started swirling and boom, conferences announced they were evaluating expansion partners.
The SEC has 7 national cha...

re: SEC to play conference only games; what other west teams do we get?

If the SEC shuts down, the schools still be paid for SEC Network subscriber fees. Wonder how much that has turned into per school. There are roughly 70 million subscribers so is that $8m per school?
Big10 owns so they get a share of the profit - without games there likely isn't much profit. ...

Cancel culture is a way for people who have very limited power to exert power. Being against it sounds an awful lot like declaring you don't want people outside the power structure to utilize the tools at their disposal.
The players used the leverage at their disposal which is a very powerful pi...

I'll go to a few high school games and local college games in person - I gave up watching almost all college basketball and NBA 6-7 years ago.
My SlingTV is cancelled as soon as college football is over so I don't even have ESPN again until next Labor Day. ...

Do whatever you can to keep this place from turning into TB. Trolling an internet forum is essentially the same as graffiti. It's not cool and is indicative of a problem that we all have to deal with. What ends up happening is people move away to something better. ...

re: Question: Big Ten vs. SEC
Posted by ZouTigers on 1/24/20 at 3:45 pm
The SEC delivers more money yearly. The B10 required a buy-in to their network which would have been about $50 million that the SEC gave up freely. Just guessing on the $50 million.
The B10 didn't make an offer. Can't move to a conference who doesn't ask. Mizzou would NEVER leave the SEC.

Yes there were two piece of information online. One gave one name, another a different name and only one was checked. When someone else looked into it and saw the problem is when things got investigated.
Call the police department and verify the information. It really isn't all that difficult. ...

Really? As a journalist did Gabe consider verifying the story before running with it? Maybe call the police? Maybe call the family?
Oddly when they needed to investigate it further, they were able to get to the bottom of the story rather quickly and get the facts. Shocking how journalism works i...

What else did Gabe screw up this month?
I stopped following him years ago. I talked with his dad one time when the Big12 meltdown began and came away shocked the man held a job as a professional journalist. Read Gabe for a while after that and it dawned on me it's the same moronic / arrogant thou...

I don't know if this new system will be a bad thing but I think most people are under estimating how massive the money will be.
I also think the grad transfer portal is going to be a highway of transfers. Undergrad transfers are going to be FAR more common.

Any player with a 3- star rating will get guaranteed payouts. The amounts go up from there.
McLane at Baylor could easily put $300m in a fund to make these distributions forever.
The Walton's are worth >$100billion. You think one of them wouldn't throw $250 million into a fund to buy some pl...
