Believe it or not, but puc isn't a bad guy. We meet him while tailgating this year. He even brought back the salt and pepper shakers he borrowed from us.

You can’t beat glowing endorsements like he is shockingly not as bad as he seems on the internet and he isn’t a thief.

Did you double check the contents?

You can never be to careful with valuables the likes of salt and pepper.

We do have other powers though.

Typically I just have to worry about getting moved to an off topic board as I do not care to stifle my conversations by silly things like forums or topics.

So looking like OU and Texas being on Big 16 radar

The other three legits in that conference will scatter somewhere and the new Big 12 conference will be at about the same value as the AAC new contact.

And then we will use Baylor as they are good at suing

99% chance he pocketed the salt and the pepper and gave you back your Publix pilgrims empty.

They were just standard fair black and white cardboard, if they were pilgrims I would have considered pilfering them.

Ok guys its been way too long since we've used this thread and we've got to get to 2000 pages, plus the offseason is boring AF, so a couple of questions to consider/speculate:

1. Do we know if the new contract has provisions for expansion and if we would receive additional money for quality schools brought in (i.e. BYU, BSU, etc)?

2. Do we wait for the Big 12 to dissolve around the next round of TV contracts and pick up the leftovers or do we act now and grab the best of the rest of the G5 to solidify us as the best G5 conference (P6)?

3. There is a pretty strong consensus about the schools we should go after to strengthen our conference, but is there anything else we should do besides winning and beating P5 teams, that the conference should be doing (legal, marketing, lobbying, or otherwise) that would solidify our position among the P5?

Speculate away!

1. The contents of that new AAC contract are as secretive as the nuclear codes. We don’t even have specifics about the $...just a general idea. I question if any of those additions would pay for themselves ($7 mil) but BYU could come close.

2. If the Big12 dissolved I would want USF to be a part of their backfill. Why? Because the Big12 name has more brand awareness than the AAC. All that being said, why would the Big12 implode? Football wise they would be crazy to change anything as they have the easiest path to the playoffs and have gotten in twice already. Sorry kids, I don’t see any type of conference change happening. 

3. Kick out Tulane and Tulsa

If adding teams would bring in additional revenue, I'm sure we would do it.
