KU fan on another board suggested that OU and Texas are trying to get SEC money, but stay in the Big 12. As a fan of Iowa State would you sign up for unequal revenue sharing if it meant keeping the conference together?

**** that!

pay based on tv ratings algorithm, everyone is then aligned to the same thing, tv ratings, go straight to utube tv and open up the gates to the conference to anyone that wants in, within reason and protecting existing members

IMO realignment talk of the Big12 adding teams if OU and Texas is 2011 thinking.

If OU & Texas leave the Big12, this means college football is approaching a new paradigm.

As many media people have pointed out, under the existing media right environment- it would be economic foolishness for Texas and OU to leave the Big12. Both have to feel comfortable their programs will be in the 12 team playoff conversation each year as part of the Big12. A bid could easily mean $25M to the 12 playoff teams. Conversely, in the SEC, the Sooners and Horns have to battle Bama, Georgia, Florida, LSU and A&M for 3-5 bids the SEC could be awarded.

IMO something big is happening behind the scenes probably supported by Disney. Disney will be the SEC's media partner in 2024 replacing CBS. And split the Big10 media deal with Fox, but that expires in a couple years.

The paradigm shift I expect is the top 30-40 football programs will split off. Why split all the regular season TV rights fees and the projected $2B annual rights fees from a 12 team playoff among 66 teams (5 Power Conferences & Notre Dame).

IMO that doesn't mean the existing Big10 or SEC remain 100% intact as Disney will want 3-5 elite programs from the current ACC, Big12 and Pac12 as part of a super league.

Bc if this happens and Disney decides who are the halves and have nots and 30 programs, universities, cities etc are left out to draw then you better believe this will go straight to SCOTUS. It is alraedy borderline Anti Trust issue already.

Wow… that’s a call back

That's how it's been since Day 1 (1996). OU, NU, A&M and UT formed a voting bloc that could nullify any proposals -- equal revenue, conference TV network, etc. -- because the vote had to be 9-3 or better.

Do you have a link to these bylaws?

B1G removed them from online last year when they were changing the rules every week with COVID, and the Lawsuits started. They no longer have them available. I also don't believe they have always made every part public. You can order a copy of their Handbook though in print on Google. Needless to say bylaws can be changed but that also takes a vote and sometimes more difficult that adding a school that already fits the requirements.

Doesn't the SEC kind of hold all the cards? They are the one with the sexiest names in the sport.

I mean, I don't agree with this, but let's say the SEC somehow was destroyed in the aftermath of the B12's destriction. That still doesn't mean a win for ISU. We still lose.

Gotta be careful. If there's one thing southerners know how to do, it's win wars.

folks the sec doesnt exist in our paradigm if this plan is executed, we form a breakaway national league dubbed the Wild West conference, decentralized, inclusive, paid based on ratings etc., a conference aligned by ratings, its not gonna happen over night, and we sign a deal with utube, we have 16 teams we could get today, and all of a sudden just the tiny tinge of nervousness comes over the SEC and our masterplan has begun
