Stew Mandel is apparently going to tweet his way through it.

"But all those beaches!!" -Stewart Mandel

 

[JHUNSY]

What was the original tweet? (or X whatever it is called now)

He really just reworded to say “if” (hedging if it something in that 2.0% occurs and it doesn’t come to fruition I guess) whereas the original tweet said Colorado was the only planned addition to the Big 12 at this time.

 

[ISU_Guy]

how does it work if we keep adding teams. tv contracts $$ just slide to adjust who we get?

 

[Cyballzz]

Sure, I completely get that. I’m getting a lot of schadenfreude from those fans too. I just don’t think they’re the majority by any means.

I’d also just say as an Iowa State and Wisconsin fan (so someone that has been on the outside on CF), we have some ******** who talk a lot ****. And I wouldn’t enjoy fans of other teams dunking on us because we had a few ******** that liked to talk ****

We definitely have our share of d bag fans but the Pac 12-10-9 conference has tried to end us 3 times and no one (media, fans, etc) had an ounce of empathy for us, Kansas and Kansas State. In fact most seemed to actively rooting for it and took joy in our possible demise.

 

[CysRage]

Power move would be giving CU a full share since they were the first to move and giving everyone else a partial

BY is a business guy. I wouldn't be shocked at all if that is his next move.

"We have 2 more spots at a partial share. Who wants it?"

Pac 12(-3) remaining team's are now in desperation mode.

I'm not a fan of CU coming back they are the ones that started this **** when they left the Big 8 and they maybe the ones that bring down the Pac12. People talk about Texas being a toxic member but CU is just as bad. They can go **** themselves.

That’s right! All this realignment is CUs fault! 100% of the blame for sure! Certainly no other conference had anything to do with the current landscape…

To add to this, GK’s arrogance and bluster leading up to all this is what makes it delicious

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Full share? For Colorado ?

Absolutely. They bring value.

Do you think he's decided if the Pac 12-10-9 is going to go shopping here yet?

 

[ISUCubswin]

AZ will 100% be applying for membership. CO moving will certainly tip them over the edge. Now, how many Big 12 spots are actually available?

I would guess anywhere from 14-18 are available. Personally think the smart move is 18 and wait for the SEC/B1G to poach the ACC to find 19 and 20.

We're not elevating them, they are already P5

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Absolutely. They bring value.

Think they bring more value by killing the Pac than actual value. If 4/5 schools are joining at full share then I’ll be kinda shocked that they couldn’t get some kind of media deal done.

Dear Utah and other Pac 12 ballwashers

Big 8 was dead for 10+ years before they moved to the Pac-12.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

We're not elevating them, they are already P5

Are they though? Like are they really?

 

[wenkeej]

I do regulatory management for a living, so I know a thing or two about writing things that allow you to do a lot within the given framework.

The meeting could be 100% exactly what they are saying, but I could easily spin that to encompass wanting to apply to the Big 12.

I'm not sure Colorado is even in my top 10 of who I blame for realignment.
