I read a while ago that A&M has a deal that they will be the only Texas team in the SEC but that will go out the window.
Just have the Big 10 take all the school in the north and the SEC take all the south. Big North and Big South. Then see how unwieldy a 100 team conference is

This is starting to remind me of when everybody joined the nWo in WCW. Everybody wants to be cool. We should be able to kick out the Ham & Eggers that don't contribute much like the Horace Hogan of the SEC - Vanderbilt

We? Is Villanova in the SEC now? Anyway if you kick out the worst team, someone else will become the new worst team. They can't all win, that's how math works.

'We' as in college football fans who put the SEC head and shoulders above every other conference in college football as far as skill and pageantry
I fell in love with the pageantry, atmosphere and environment of the SEC when I was a kid. Big 10 and Big 12 are close I suppose
I think it's unmatched in college football - although I enjoy the pageantry, atmosphere and environment of all of college football/basketball
Although I can watch any college football or college basketball game as opposed to any pro game - I'd still love to see the SEC be nothing but powerhouses. I'd argue Texas isn't a powerhouse anymore - even though all we've heard for years and years and years now is how they're back (which never is the case). Oklahoma? That sounds incredibly intriguing to me. I was ticked when Nebraska went to the Big 10 ruining that rivalry - so what the hell. Oklahoma/Bama yearly wars before the Final 4 would be great.

What about Cowboys fans from North Dakota who put the Cowboys head and shoulders above every other team in the NFL and who fell in love with the pageantry, atmosphere and environment of Cowboys games (as seen on their TV screens) when they were kids? “We?” True Cowboys fans? |

I don't align myself with a team from the SEC - as a kid I rooted for Peyton and Tennessee
I simply enjoy the conference
As you mature into a man you stop rooting for specific teams across the globe you have 0 affiliation to and root for the teams in your specific city

In those situations you've got to latch onto a team - but unfortunately you can't experience true passionate fandom - i.e. being right smack in the center of all the theater and drama

I'm a college football fan period, I fell in love with it as a kid, exclusive to any one conference. But no conference can be filled with powerhouses. They all play each other, and somebody has to lose those games. Ditching Vandy would only make the second worst team into the worst team. What makes college sports fun are the regional rivalries built up over decades; shuffling the deck every five years rips that apart and I hate it.

CBS Sports reporting that if a school leaves before the TV deal is up in 2025, the Big XII gets ALL of their TV money. Includes their potential football playoff cash, NCAA Tourney money, even UT Longhorn Network cash.

Was just on ESPN -
Texas and Oklahoma could make the move in a matter of weeks
Wow.
Aren't there contracts in place or is this why all of this is coming out now - the agreement between the schools and conference is up?
I wonder what that means for the schedule that is upcoming - I mean - you'd have to assume they have to stay committed to their Big 12 schedule this year, no?

West Virginia should bolt to the Big 10 now
Wars with Nebraska, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Maryland
Get Pitt in there too...

West Virginia should have went to the Big 10 before Nebraska. I never got that one. They took Maryland and Rutgers because of the TV markets, DC/Baltimore and NYC. I guess they drooled over the lucrative Lincoln/Beatrice Nebraska market.
The Big 10 would need another. Pitt won't leave the ACC. Baylor, Okie State? When does travel cost fit into this? Football, ok, but will Rutgers relish paying for the womens badminton team to go to Waco? Will the Pac take the other Texas schools without the Longhorns?
Oh and do not think rivalries figure into this at all. Oklahoma-Okie State, gone. Will KU-Kansas state survive? Too many have gone already, Nebraska-OU, Kansas-Missouri, Maryland-UVA

Why do you doubt Pitt wouldn't bolt the ACC for Big 10?
One would think for football purposes it's more lucrative no? College basketball - yes I believe ACC is much more lucrative than the Big 10 (could be off but you'd have to think Duke/UNC, etc bring in more than the Big 10 schools) but we've seen some universities out there where the school is in different conferences now depending on sport haven't we? i.e. - Villanova
I'd figure Pitt would jump at the chance to be in the Big 10 for football - as well as Syracuse and Boston College.....
Personally I'd like to see the Big East reformed for this - West Virginia, Pitt, Boston College, Syracuse - ACC to me was also for the Southern Atlantic Coast Schools.....

The ACC seems a better fit for Pitt. And I don't think we will have a wholesale realignment like 2010. The fate of the rest of the XII will be all that changes, be it merger with the American, replacing the two seceding schools or the conferences picking the bones.
If the Big 10 takes WVU, could the other team be Notre Dame? The expanded CFB playoff could mean the end on the Irish independence. They have ties to the ACC but the Big 10 always seemed the better fit.

Notre Dame in Big 10 would be tremendous - them playing Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Purdue, Illinois, etc - just fits like a glove.......
