Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[Brad]

Wish we'd hurry up & get accepted somewhere so the moaners can begin a new thread to discuss why the new conference was the weakest one on the list.

I've already been pissin and moanin about not wanting to go to the B12

If EITHER Texas or Oklahoma leave, the B12 is toast. Remember how it was less stable than the Big East back in the day? And we were going to invite Kansas and friends?

Exactly.

If people moan about the B12 it will be because our entry is amid others' exits and the conference is as stable as the Big East was (not).

Gotta give those left on the ship a little more credit.

As mentioned earlier in thread, the B12's P5 status is tenuous.

We're better off in the American until the ACC wants us NEVER. Unless we get a B10 invite along with our AAU invite - whenever that day comes NEVER - the ACC is the only better place for us than the American.

 

Certainly not the B12

 

 

The rag tag B12 left overs would be a much better group of misfits than the American

Completely and totally disagree.

 

Bunch of redneck land-grant schools in the middle of nowhere.

 

Would much rather be with a progressive group of modern urban schools with great road trips.

That's what Boren was alluding to and discussing in recent articles. The P5 wanting to be the P4.

Wow how did the big 12 go from expanding to evaporating so quickly. I'm so confused.

Nobody who tweets knows what's really going on. Even those who do aren't tweeting or talking openly about it, that's not how these things work.

B12 may not survive as it is now.

Oklahoma and Texas may leave... maybe osu and Texas Tech too. What's left, baylor, tcu, etc, will merge with some members of the AAC.

I am wondering what would happen to WVU in that scenario? They don't really make sense in the B12.
