I understand the importance of name brands, but if the Big 12 falls apart completely and 2 or 3 teams are remaining (Baylor, TCU, and KSU and/or ISU being the most likely leftovers) it just isn't the same as being in a conference with WVU and Ok St (and Kansas for basketball). I would fall over myself to get into the Big 12 with the 8 remaining teams. I would be happy to get into an upgraded conference with those other 3 or 4 teams, but it wouldn't be the same level of excitement. 

WVU isn’t going anywhere, if there was a conference that had any belief they should add them they wouldn’t have ended up in a conference made up of Texas to begin with.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

No one is leaving the B12 for the AAC even for their teams. We built the AAC with just us, UC and Uconn remaining and not once did it even get discussed that we could simply make CUsa stronger. 

Maybe the remaining B12 snags Boise, BYU, Memphis, Cincy, and then after that it’s a crap shoot. I wouldn’t know what else they would need to get to 16 teams.

what happens to the remainders of AAC/MAC/CUSA/MWC/Sunbelt after all this? Are we some weird middle road between P4 and FCS?

They will eat each other and then pretend it’s improvement and they compete now with the expanded playoff until the teams that have all of the money and an actual path to the playoffs breakaway from them while they are shocked to see this happen. This is the last boat out.

Any combination of the B12 and AAC would be about the same as the old BE. Even then we were the unwanted stepchild at the table.

Maybe we can land a spot in the Southland or the Atlantic Sun?  Still, that McNeese game worries me...

But at the table none the less which is a huge improvement over being at the children's table while putting a name tag on that says even though we are sitting here we identify as being the 6th person at the adult table that is set to five.

I'm not even allowed in there .....


I was the first to report when we ditched Skip Holtz in 2012, Harlan leaving for Utah and Coach Jeff Scott coming to USF. 


Sometimes deals fall through.  There has always been smoke in what I’ve heard.  This one the smoke is almost fire though 🔥.

The fire is the program burning down.

We are destined to be in the CUSA or Sunbelt.

I don't disagree with that, although it will be interesting to see the new tv contracts when all is said and done. My bet is that the B12, 14, 16, or whatever it may be called will be substantially below the other "power' conferences. I also believe that it will be substantially better than what we have now.
