    Gonzaga to join the Big 12?

    For many years, beating up on their weak conference goes actually stifled their seed.

    Gonzaga to join the Big 12?

    You really contradict yourself here. How do they raise the conference profile in the short term while they are a 5-13 conference team who doesn't even make the tournament. You are really setting up a straw man. No one is saying they are going to win 10 straight conference titles. But if you...

    WTB: Texas Hillside

    Thanks. If anyone has a single "get me in" ticket they want to sell, let me know.

    WTB: Texas Hillside

    Does anyone have any hillside seats they want to dump on the cheap? We'd need 1 kids pass and 2 adult passes.

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    Does anyone have the exact text of the original wording versus the current interpretation of it? I thought I saw the original once and I think it had the same logic, just worded in the worst way.

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    I don't disagree with you, but if the best common opponent was a terrible team and one of the tied good teams lost to that team, you could make an argument that eliminating them makes a ton of sense.

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    That sounds reasonable. At first I was thinking it was unfair. Iowa State would be 2-1, OU would be 2-1, OSU would be 1-1 and UT would be 0-2. It seems unfair that OSU didn't get a chance for that 2nd win against UT, but you are right, that does reward the harder schedule in a way. Its not...

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    If there is an 8 team tie, then they would go to step 3 or step 4 of the tiebreaker rule. What criteria would you propose?

    Are there any players on your team this year that you believe would belong on ISU's all-time roster? (Crosspost from reddit)

    TJ Tampa might be a first round draft pick. I am not sure Hobbs and Johnson were better.

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    The 4 tied teams goes to criteria 2. Record against the best common opponent, which would be Kansas. OSU and Texas both beat Kansas. The clause you quoted would apply if the 4 teams had 2 common opponents with the same W/L record. In this case, we don't hit that clause. Now you have a 2 way...

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    I think it would. You'd take the win % against the collective tied teams (OU and ISU in this case) rather than saying OU is ahead of ISU and taking their record against OU only. Either way, though, OSU is the #1 seed.

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    Agree. 7-2 would be incredible even without a CCG. Let's say that OU beats OSU. OU gets an automatic NY6. Does Texas get an at-large? Probably. There would be a ton of 2 loss teams looking to fill 6 spots. Texas, Bama, Oregon, Penn State, Missouri, Louisville, Ole Miss, UNC. Then does...

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    Let's say ISU beats Texas and loses to KSU. How does a OU, OSU, UT and KSU tiebreak work? Head to head doesn't work, so next step is record against Iowa State. OU and KSU are now tied. No head to head. They both played OSU and Texas. KSU lost to both so OU as the #1 seed. 2 seed comes...

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    I am rethinking the 4 way tie with OSU, OU, Texas and ISU. oSU and UT beat Kansas, so I assumed the 2 of them would get in, but you still have to break their tie. The tie breaker for the #1 seed would come down to winning % against OU and OSU. OSU wins that battle as the one seed. Now you...

    Discussion on tie breakers.. it sucks..

    A 4 way tie is very clear too. It would go down to record against Kansas, so Iowa State is on the outside looking in. OSU and UT in that case. If it's a 3 way tie with OU and OSU, OSU gets the top spot due to their win over Kansas then OU gets in due to Iowa State head to head. A 3 way tie...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Would she be more marketable as an all-star in the WNBA or as perhaps the greatest female college BB player ever? I don't know. I would think the college basketball has a bigger reach than the WNBA and she has turned into a national brand, not just regional. If she joins the WNBA and is the...

    Big 12 adds Beach volleyball

    I had to look it up. It feels like Title IX just protects women, and sometimes people argue that its no longer needed because that kind of stuff no longer exists. You also hear arguments that Title IX is taking away opportunities for men, which is just a silly thought since it protects men...

    Big 12 adds Beach volleyball

    I don't think thats true. Found this blurb online. "Title IX requires that schools treat both sexes equally with regard to three distinct aspects of athletics: participation opportunities, athletic scholarships, and the benefits and services provided to male and female teams." If a school...

    Big 12 adds Beach volleyball

    Pretty sure you are correct. I don't believe Iowa State could add women's Sand Volleyball without also increasing the number of men's athletic scholarships.
