AAC wants all 8 remaining Big 12 schools
There it is. Even if the AAC only takes the Baylor, Purple Baylor, and Tech, that will allow Kansas to go B1G or elsewhere, but the AAC is a solid BB conference, so this may work out for all of them.
The expansion will happen next July, and the new members will play the 2022 football season in the SEC.

I do feel sorry for some of those teams. They had no choice but to be pushed around by Texas --- so hopefully the AAC works out.

we are probably going to 4 super conferences of 16-18 per. I think most of the AAC and some of the big 12 are going to be left out. SMU surely wont make the best 64-68 teams in the new super CFB league which I will refer to as SCFB with Greg Sanky as the commish.

Honestly they would be about on par with the Pac12 if they did that. You wouldn't have a true blueblood like USC or someone close like Oregon but it would have a better depth of competitive teams like Baylor, TCU, Memphis, Cinci, UCF, Ok St, K St and especially if they keep Iowa St.

AAC better hide their wives and daughters. Baylor gonna Baylor.

It definitely feels like the old structures are collapsing.
It may be better or it may not.
Personally I am a fan of good games --- and a fan of scholarships that help kids pay for college --- so I hope we have top tier match ups but also a space for the smaller conferences to survive. I have no idea if that can be achieved.

Gotta be honest, I don't like this. $$ is driving everything. A lot of what we love about college football is changing, permanently.

The sad thing, to me, is that everyone has known for years that the Big 12 was limping along and in imminent danger of a complete collapse. The Sword of Damocles has been over their head for years and finally dropped.

I agree, and the small teams really had no way to change their fate.

Isn't Baylor a Baptist school? Oh, wait
Did you hear the one about the drunken Baptist deacon who went to church and had to sit in his own pew

Not cool. Disciples and Baptist are nothing alike, other than their monothesic foundation.

That would honestly be a much better all around conference than the Pac-12. Basketball and baseball for sure, and probably football.

The AAC with these additions could have as many as 5 teams in the top 25 with programs like Oklahoma State, TCU, Baylor, UCF, and Cincinnati. I would argue they would be a little better than the Pac as of late.

West Virginia, Kansas, and Oky St will get better offers.
Iowa State and K-State are too close to call.
Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU, will look a lot like Rice.

This is not a personal attack because I can and do separate individuals from the teams they support....
That being said, this is an incredibly ironic statement coming from a Georgia fan considering that UGA and OU were the schools that started knocking down the dominoes that led here.
NCAA v. Board of Regents
quote:
CAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, 468 U.S. 85 (1984), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) television plan violated the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts, which were designed to prohibit group actions that restrained open competition and trade.
The NCAA is an organization that regulates college athletics, and membership is voluntary, although NCAA schools are not allowed to play against non-NCAA teams. The case dealt with television rights to college football games, which were controlled by the NCAA and limited the appearance of university teams in each season. The NCAA believed that their control of television rights protected live attendance, which was disputed by a number of colleges.
These larger colleges formed the College Football Association to negotiate television contracts, until the NCAA advised the colleges that they would be banned from all NCAA competitions, not just in football. The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma and the University of Georgia Athletic Association sued to force the NCAA to stop the practice. The Supreme Court held that the NCAA's actions were a restraint of trade and ruled for the universities.

I do not feel sorry for kansas (shocker, I know). When we enterd the SEC, we offered to contine the Mizzou-KU basketball games each year, but Bill Self refused.
So, not that it is different than any other day, but it sucks to be a beaker.

Memphis v Kansas would be marquee basketball

That would make zero sense. It would be better for the Big 12 to take all the AAC schools. That way the Big 12 still exists and gets the Texas and Oklahoma exit fees. The other way, no exit fees to a conference that doesn't exist.
