    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I'm in the minority here but I'd rather have the 4 corner schools than Oregon/Washington. I think the #1 thing the league has now that we've never had in the past is unity through alignment. We're the land of misfit toys that somehow survived all of this craziness. Bringing in Arizona and ASU...

    Car Play Screen Shot

    Any iPhone Shortcuts wizards out there? Wondering if anyone would be willing to build (or help me build) a shortcut for me that works like this: I say “Hey Siri Take Screen Shot” The screen shot of my phone happens and IF there are 2 photos after the screen shot (meaning 1 of my phone’s...

    "It's good for the state!"

    It negatively impacts recruiting more than it "helps the state." This exposure is worth millions for Iowa and it will be real thing in recruiting, especially when head-to-head versus Iowa State (which happens way more than MBB). This is not good for Iowa State WBB.

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    This deal, coupled with the CPF expansion (because it provides access) was THE BEST CASE scenario after OU and Texas left. 15 months later and the leftover Big 12 is in great shape to be the 3rd best conference thanks to Bob Bowlsby and Brett Yormark.

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    Really solid. Gtes us close to 50m annually, up from 41 this year according to JP. Maybe that extra 9m can buy us a special teams coach.

    Circa giving losers a free stay

    I personally think stadium swim in the greatest place on earth.

    New Uniforms Revealed

    There has to be at least a LITTLE white in the jersey or LITTLE red in the pant if you're going to wear them together. Are RRW combo looks like a 4th grader designed them. It's not too far off from when Chizik got the job and we were so desperate to join the Oregon uniform craze that we just...

    SE Missouri St line?

    This has been my point for years. Go up to Pollard five minutes after any opening season 1-AA loss and say “you can change your record from 0-1 to 1-0 for $50,000…do you want to do it?” I guarantee he pays the money instantly. 4000 empty seats is worth it to play an inferior opponent like...

    SE Missouri St line?

    There will 100% be a line Saturday. Will come out late Friday or early Saturday morning.

    SE Missouri St line?

    Best guess on the line for Sat? I’ll go first -21.5

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The top brands will never go together (Texas, Alabama, Ohio State, etc) even if the money is unimaginable because A) The TV rights will NEVER expire at the same time. Networks arent that dumb. B) The top brands need Vandy, NW, etc to make sure they get some wins. SOMEBODY has to go 3-9 and the...

    NCAA looking at unlimited transfers?

    Every time I hear this I ask the person who said it for a realistic plan that is also in compliance with title 9. Do you have one?

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Pretty much the same thing. Get 2, cripple the league, then decide if you want to more. Only difference is Colorado’s elitist mentality but at this point beggars can’t be choosers. Need to cripple their league while ensuring our long-term disability.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I just keep coming back to the Big 12 should go hard after Arizona and Arizona State first. They fit culturally. They’re not elite academic schools. It cripples the PAC-10. These are almost identical mileages (this surprised me a bit): Tucson ➡️ Dallas / San Fran Tucson ➡️ KC / Eugene...

    One year ago the Big 12 was dead. Things change fast.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    OK I agree with this. By HOW I meant kill/grow. Not horrible TV deal.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    They have 2 things we don’t: 1) TV contract is up sooner. 2) Pacific time zone inventory. This ain’t over.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The hard part is because nobody knows what the future playoff looks like (remember this 4-team one expires in 2025 & there is nothing after that), these conferences and teams are trying to figure out their long-term place in the world without knowing the end-game. Imagine if I said, recruit...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    People on here are naive and unrealistic in coming to grips with how vulnerable the Big XII still is. We’re one move from being in realistic long-term trouble. The #1 priority should be long-term stability, no matter HOW it comes.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I’m hedging against the albeit small percentage chance that the big 12 is vulnerable. By doing this you eliminate the competition and guarantee long-term survival. Like everyone, I want Arizona and Arizona State the most but by giving them a small window with a threat of taking Washington...
