All I will say to something like this is, look where groveling and begging has gotten UConn and Cincy to this point ...

So each existing Big 12 school (10) gets a one time payment of $10M.

And the first 3 years their revenues stay the same.

I doubt that amount changes any votes.....

 

And "Oh by the way" Isn't this a "summertime" thread"?

Sellular1,

 

 You just proved that Mike G's point is dead on. If the BIG 12 has had a plan in place then USF will be fine with our track record, They will look at how many BCS games that we competed and beat. They all know that USF is going through a new coach transition so it will be fine.

Mike G's point was that if we don't get in its somehow my fault. You're saying I proved him right?

I'm bored, here's some TV markets (didn't go much west and only stuff outside the "Power 5") of basically anyone left who may want to get lucky and move up someday:

 

(yes, I know some of these markets won't be totally captured by these teams, and some of these markets are already saturated with bigger state teams, but that's semantics for another post)

 

4. Philly - Temple

5. Dallas-Ft Worth (SMU-TCU)

10. Houston

13. Tampa-St Pete (USF)

19. Orlando-Daytona-Melbourne (UCF)

24. Charlotte, NC (Charlotte, some ECU fans say there is a large contingent there but probably wouldn't be counted towards their TV market)

30. Hartford-New Haven, CT (UCONN)

34. Cincinnati

37. San Antonio (UTSA)

38. WBP-Ft Pierce (northern ends of FAU territory, Miami-FTL is like #15 but is split with FIU and Miami obviously owns that coastline)

40. Birmingham (UAB)

43. Norfolk-Portsmouth-Newport News, VA (lots of ECU fans claim the southeastern portion for their fanbase, not sure how accurate)

48. Memphis

53. New Orleans (Tulane)

60. Mobile-Pensacola (USA, or UWF one day?)

61. Tulsa

62. Ft Myers-Naples (FGCU)

65. Charleston-Huntington, WV (Marshall)

91. Colorado Springs-Pueblo (Air Force)

98. El Paso (UTEP)

112. Boise

123. Lafayette, LA (UL-L)

163. Biloxi-Gulfport (kinda USM territory)

167. Hattiesburg (USM)

 

Louisville is #50, btw.

The truth is we know nothing until it happens. Until the Big 12s hand is forced there will be no realignment. That is all.

It was actually 5001 before I tweaked so you can try again .....

A lot of broken dreams in this thread! Feels like this realignment stuff has been going on for 10 years. Hopefully the College Football gods are on our side.
