Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[CysRage]

No idea what you’re talking about, I’m with the dude that says it’s all CUs fault. Like the cut of his jib

In spite of your "opinion" here is CysRage's list of reasons why College Football realignment has been a roller coaster since 2010.

1) Texas
2) ESPN (some really sketch **** they pulled 2 years ago when they tried to FOMO Big 12 team's to the AAC)
3) Pac 12 (trying to poach up to 6 team's in 2010)
4) SEC
5) Big Ten (sorry @FriendlySpartan)
6) Nebraska
7) Texas A&M
8) USC/UCLA
9) Mizzou, Rutgers, Maryland, Colorado
10) Dan Bebe for being an incompetent Big 12 commissioner

I'm looking forward to Bill Walton calling Big 12 games.

 

[Diggame]

So we don't want to talk about how Mizzou was really the first one?? Flirting with the Big Ten was the first thing

 

[ISUCubswin]

I'm looking forward to Bill Walton calling Big 12 games.

"Iowa State can't miss from deep!"

"They're 0-4 from three, Bill"

To me it feels like the following scenario is very plausible:

Colorado jumps to B12

Shortly after Oregon Jumps to B12

Then the B1G takes Washington and Stanford

Then the B12 takes 2 of Arizona, ASU, Utah.

The last school of those 3 pushes hard to get into B12, and they are added with UCONN putting the B12 at 18, coast to coast teams.

And everyone waits for the ACC to blow up in the next round.

Cal, Wash st and Ore St, join the MWC.

It really starts to fall into the 'how big does the big 12 want to be' decision at some point.

Once colorado goes, it puts Oregon\Washington on the clock. They'd both be solid adds for the big 12, and beneficial as travel partners for each other, and neither look to be getting big 10 invites.

If both of them come, the big 12 would be at 15, and looking for at least one more because you want an even number of teams. Arizona?

At that point, you probably have Utah, ASU, Cal, OSU, WSU asking for membership. Stanford probably goes independent. OSU\WSU\Cal are immediate No's. Utah\ASU depends on if the conference wants to get weird and grow all the way to 18.

These tweets don’t get out from the big media guys unless it’s a done deal.

Done deal.

I’d say that’s slander but in print it’s libel sir! Lol

Let's get weird.

Someone better go do a wellness check on Tony Altimore

I would if he didn’t block me on Twitter

I am still giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were sick of the grip Texas had on the Big 12. Remember, they along with Colorado, ISU, KU, KSU, OSU all wanted equal revenue sharing for the Big 12 that caused the most instability ever since the conference formed. Nebraska was the breaking vote to make unequal sharing.

 

[laminak]

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.

Completely incorrect. Missouri started the chain reaction when the Big 10 announced expansion and they openly courted and thought they got the invite. Nebraska then jumped and took that spot due to having issues with Texas. Colorado jumped due to this instability.

Done deal.

Sorry if already asked- who’s next?

 

[Gonzo]

This guy said all kinds of "fun" stuff. Seems like he was a poor source.

It's both funny and sad that he insists on using a headshot that's 20+ years old to caress that fragile ego...

 

[alarson]

Let's get weird.

I'm kind of at that mindset at this point.

Conferences shouldnt be larger than 10 teams. But we ruined that. So **** it, lets get weird with all this ****.

At least with the larger conferences we might be able to do some **** like the big 10 did and guarantee a few of our older rivals places on the schedule.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State all join by August 1, Yormark is tired of BYU's **** and kicks them out. 16, just like the other two mega conferences.

Missouri should get no benefit of the doubt. Not only did they openly flirt, they thought they got the Big 10 invite. Later when they got the SEC invite, they acted like total jackasses about it. F them after Texas and Nebby.

 

[Freebird]

Could have been a merger. Now it’s the B12 shopping for the best value added programs. Remnants of the PAC will add SDSU, UNLV, Air Force, Colorado St and whoever the else no one ******* cares about.
Thanks for taking a vacation CW, it’s basically the enema that finally got this **** moving.

 

[CyGuy5]

I am amped for this. Who’s next?? Utah?

What has BYU been doing? Honest question.

 

[alarson]

Before colorado jumped too, the reports were out there of a major migration of big 12 teams to the PAC, including colorado. There were also 'reports' surfacing that Baylor was trying to politic their way into taking Colorado's spot. I don't blame Colorado for leaping and guaranteeing a P5 spot when other teams (like us) were looking at the very real doomsday scenario of being left out
