Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
The Big 12 surviving with no OU or TX is like being completely paralyzed after a car accident but I mean.... at least you're alive.
That’s because you’re most likely on their free board, which like most free boards is a cesspool
Why? I donate, I have tickets and attended school and lived in Ames
Central Kansas looks like Boulder, Salt Lake City, LA, Palo Alto, Eugene, Corvallis, Pullman or Seattle? Have you even traveled west of Kansas before?
Wouldn't we be the only team in the conference without a baseball team too? Pitt would be a better pick for the Big 10 than ISU would.
We already are that school in our current league. And baseball isn’t going to be a determining factor.
Woops I’ll add that but ISU lost to OU that year.
Baseball isn’t that important
The good news is that at least we're not Baylor or TCU. TCU is probably screwed. Baylor definitely is.
The only hope of torpedoing this resides in the Texas Legislature. And at this point in time, they can't even get a quorum.
When Boren was at OU, he made it a point to stick together with OSU. There is no longer any such alliance.
I'd have to believe some or all of the other 8 schools have contingency plans in place for such an event. I have no interest in joining the PAC12 and I doubt they want us. It's terrible from a logistics standpoint and we don't bring enough eyeballs. That leaves us two options. We either pray we can get plucked by the B1G, or we take our core schools and see if we can find a few to join. IDK where Colorado stands, but we know kNU is not happy with the B1G. Both left in large part because of Texas. Maybe we can get to 10-12 schools.
I'd almost rather see us rebuild the Big 12 because it means things like maintaining regional rivalries and a week long trip to KC in March. But I don't see a scenario were we can maintain the current TV revenue. Our best hope would be that the big fat raise that was likely to come with the upcoming TV deal could be close enough to what we currently have to maintain what we have.

To be fair, he listed the majority of Iowa's good wins coming out of conference play, LOL.
but this kind of thing starts way early every time. we all knew this was the sweet spot, because the move will take a couple years to happen officially anyway, and will have to happen before a new contract. So we are at the perfect time for moves to happen.
yeah I think everyone goes their own way, we get 40m in tv revenue now..that would drop to like 10…meaning we are like an aac team…no reason to keep the 8 rebounding together really
