Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Coming to America moment for a UCF fan welcoming Colorado to the Big 12.

Big 12 Message Board

Hey Buffs! I’m a UCF fan and looking forward to playing you guys next year in the B12! Always liked Colorado and hope I can go there for a game sometime. Glad your football is picking up again! Anyways, I was wondering if you guys would like to join a new Big 12 board and talk to other B12...

There’s some gems in there

Feels a lot like his tweet prior to CU leaving.

Wording by Thamel very intentional. Probably not a done deal but pretty close with Arizona.

Surprised no mention of ASU. They may go down with the ship or the Big 12 just can’t come up with the extra dollars

The first reply is golden…

Don't think we'd do divisions anymore, but if so:

North

Iowa St
Kansas
K-State
Cincy
WV
Colorado
Utah
BYU

South

OK St
UCF
TCU
Baylor
Houston
Tech
Arizona
ASU

This would hurt recruiting some.

I am physically attacking my F5 button for the next hour

I speed read much better when there is great content such as this!

Bubba Boo!!

I will bump that to Boo Radley!

Where do I sign up? I've heard his fava beans are terrific.

With a nice Chianti!

I mean… it already is all streaming.

I think he's using streaming to indicate subscription based service to watch games.

He's probably right, but the Apple deal is 5-10 years early and Pac12 is wrong conference to use as test case. In part because it is only a 10 team/5 game conference. In 2024 a streamer could televise 50-60% of a conferences games, but not 100%. Plus the Pac12 isn't know for hardcore fans.

I love ISU football, but maybe our priorities are screwed up. This many posts, while the ex-presidents arraignment on over throwing the election seems lost in the news.

The cave is probably alive and well.

Hah! Same here, I live in suburban KC, the fireworks for an entire week, every night, surrounding the 4th, it's the biggest PITA with living here. Overall a huge thumbs up, but if I could take vacation and get away that week each year, I would.

Dude I live an hour west of you. The fireworks are really stupid $hit.

Read as “B1G is trying to stir up a realignment storm to get ND to finally jump, but Networks aren’t having it and the SEC isn’t playing along this time.”

Will laugh my ass off if Notre Dame ends up in the SEC one day. 'Twould be pure gold. FWIW, lots of history between ND and SEC teams that have actually played @ Notre Dame in November in my lifetime: Alabama, LSU, Mississippi and Tennessee come to mind.

 

[cycloneML]

So that gives us 14.5

ESPN owns ACC and SEC. Why would ESPN pay 3 times more for the same team in a different conference.

I would think this is going to be a sticking point for some of these teams.

I would like to do a podcast taking about pods and then wash my clothes with Tide pods.

You could do it inside a PODS moving thing.

Do the AZ regents let one go with out the other?

 

[LLCoolCY]

Bit more from Dodd. Interesting that nothing on ASU and randomly bringing up UW worry on travel. Things that make you say hmmm.

 

[isucy86]

So true! Such a brand! They (FSU) have not even won their division or been in the ACC Championship Game since 2014. Meanwhile, the true king of the ACC (Clemson) is keeping their head down and their mouth shut.

IMO FSU is just the first. To avoid appearance of collaboration among schools, FSU will set the tone/create the playbook for leaving the ACC.

If FSU isn't successful, no bigger damage done. The ACC schools probably don't fully understand what ESPN's reaction will be.

I will bump that to Boo Radley!

I feel like I just got schooled with a classic! CF could use some culture!
