I would assume they still want to maintain that percentage but who knows what the new bylaws are.
UConn back to Big East
- Thread starter awd4cy
- Start date
Nope. That's why people need to quit fantasizing about picking up crap school leftovers from crap conferences.
Agree with you on that. B12 is pretty good the way it is.
LKF...you can still go there even though ISU doesn’t play football or basketball there currently. If you do it right you’ll never even notice the difference.

Have you looked at their schedule? They play 11 P5 schools this season, show me where those six wins are at?
Kick out West Virginia, Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU.
Bring back Colorado, Missouri (after a humiliating public groveling), and Nebraska (now that they are punks).
Call it the Big 9.
Be sure to build a new wall at the Athletic Offices for framed apology letters from the Big 9 officiating office.

If the B12 adds any of those 4 teams it means the Big 12 is a corpse in the process of rotting.
The Big 12 is solid now with its current members. The only thing I can see is perhaps Baylor defeating the conferee around the time the the GORs are renewed. That is the time for the cleanest break from Baylor if the other members want them out.
There is a new, long Athletic article.
Sounds like UConn will be paying $10 million to get out, they are already operating in the red, and will have a gradual payday in the BE.
The Athletic aludes to a potential BYU or Army invite from the AAC.

As soon as the NCAA allowed the Big 12 to have a football championship game (one that's the envy of the rest of the conferences as it guarantees one of the two best teams wins that game, whereas the rest of the conferences run the risk of a playoff-caliber team getting popped by a weaker team from the other division), there was no reason to expand with whatever teams we can find for the sake of getting to 12. While we were looking to stabilize the conference with expansion earlier in the decade, that kind of expansion would have diluted everyone's payout, and with TV contracts likely significantly changing in the face of the way TV is viewed (i.e., cord-cutting), it's unlikely the rest of the conference will ever recover the money lost by taking on G5 teams.
I'm not saying I'm opposed to expansion. The Pac 12 is a conference that in the next 5 years is going to be in turmoil, and any of those schools would be better than a G5 team. I'm just saying the Big 12 is in a good place and at this point expanding just to expand is stupid.
I despise Baylor as much as the next person but this thought that we will “kick them out” is f’n stupid.
Will never happen. They’ve murdered, They’ve raped. They are still in the conference. Short of them aligning with ISIS and acquiring nuclear weapons with the intent of deploying, we are stuck with them.

Looking back I'm so glad the B12 didn't offer Memphis or Cincy.
I think the B12 should never have put feelers out too. I didn't like that look.
AAC is better off moving south or midwest for its football. UConn is better off with Big East basketball and a any other conference for football.
