Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[2speedy1]

Where are you getting that? Minnesota v. Wisco has happened every year since 1907.

Every website on the subject. And every time the game is played the media people discuss it.

I believe what they are saying is it has never been interrupted, since the first game.

Where Wisky-MN is the longest continuous, it has had a interruption in 1906 their overall streak of continuous games is longer. But, 106 years straight, 106 total games since the start of the ISU/KSU rivalry, no interruptions.

ie. "never interrupted"

Weird. I definitely didn’t pay for it. I just clicked on it and it let me read it. Though I didn’t finish it. Someone from SMU paid him a pretty penny for that.

It might be I have read more articles there, and am past my free views. I am sure I can find a way around it if I need to.

I always love these sports media guys that clearly don’t know Jack about college sports or realignment writing these articles like this.

I love how he says SMU should consider the Big 12.

Yea, I feel we already have enough Texas schools. UConn or SDSU would be better takes for Big12 than SMU.

But if I recall correctly, Cowlishaw is a Dallas journalist.

Yep it was the word "continuous" that you included that tripped me up since there are others with a longer continuous streak.

Of course!! And the leftover PAC4 should also 'consider' the Big 12!

No doubt, we should take them! They (Cal & Stanford) would still raise their collective noses.

Clearly that Rutgers v Nebraska series is one to watch!

Yep, Stan, Cal, OSU, Wazzu, SDSU, Memphis, Uconn, Maybe even Tulane, UNLV, and others are probably better adds for the B12 than SMU.

Being the makeup of the B12, and the value of others, and the locations, SMU just doesnt bring the same value to the B12 as it might to other leagues that need a footprint or more footprint in Texas.

I see absolutely no value in adding WSU or OSU. They’re irrelevant and play in tiny stadiums.

Can you not see the sarcasm here?

Loosen up?

Well yeah, sure, but if SMU doesn't want any money for like, the next 30-40 years, you have to consider them!

SMU should consider the Big 12. Should the Big 12 consider SMU? No - but SMU should consider the Big 12.

Reading that article, COVID really screwed up a lot of "non interrupted" rivalries.

I am pretty sure SMU has considered the Big 12.

Nah, ISU will be with KU, KSU and CU. OSU will be with the Texas schools, Houston will be with the Eastern pod, and The 4 corners will be together.

If they go to pods that is.

I hope you are right. 40 years of being an Iowa state suggests you are wrong.

 

[t-noah]

Well…

Wow! Nice tweet, and how true.

Fool me once...

Why force 3 protected rivals? Why not do it like the Big 10 did. Seemed like it worked out. A lot of these seem like forced rivalries that don't really mean anything. ISU/Cin, BYU/AZ/ASU, CU/TT, TCU/AS plus plenty of others.

Protected rivals for most schools would either be an actual rival, or someone close by which is easy to become a rival if it’s regional. It’s just a clean way to schedule too. Play your three rivals every year then split up the other 12. 6 one year the other 6 the next.

People throw out the Pods of Iowa state, Kansas, KState, Colorado as well as UCF, Houston, Cincinnati, West Virginia.

With protected rivals Houston could have a Texas school or two as well as UCF. Colorado could play an Utah or BYU or Arizona instead of just the pod.

Protected rivals just helps get each school more regional games while being the same concept as a pod, just not everyone has the same pod.

Interesting note from a Big 12 coach.

A Coach in the Big 12: “Conferences are stacking teams up for the 12-team college football playoff model. Also, conferences are going to start having mini-in-season tournaments to drive revenue as they do in the European model and the NBA is doing this year.”

This has to be the dumbest thing ever said by a coach. So maybe the maui, Orlando, Vegas, nyc, etc tourneys happen over Christmas and not thanksgiving…..but the ncaa has a tourney that more people watch than the nba playoffs. The ncaa season is really only 10 weeks that anyone cares about. You don’t need an in season tourney to boost that. The best thing about the ncaa tourney is that it happens in march, a relatively dead time of the sports year. Don’t push it back any later!

I read it as a Big 12 only tournament probably in December either new or replacing the T-Day or X-Mas tournament. Yormark could sell the rights to view local promotions and ticket sales directly to the Big 12. Basically an early season Big12 tourney.
