CWT missed Ironside and now this kid, who'll go to Ironside's school and will be coached by Ironside's dad.  Early bird, early bird.

Although I appreciate the help in getting this thread to 700 pages, is there a reason you put that here?

This seems to be a catch all for nonsense and passing/wasting time. I was bored.

We do have some semblance of a protocol here, sir, and you're going to need to somehow link that to conference realignment or it will be removed.

I heard since we didn't take Ironside, the big 12 will only invite us if we can land Ironside part 2

I hadn't read Bianchi's letter.  But he blew it almost immediately.  If you want into the Big 12, you don't want to show off that you are better than Texas in any aspect at all.  Texas doesn't want anyone that won't kiss their feet.  So we are as good as in.

Maybe we can have Texas camp at our place like Michigan.  Hell, for that matter, invite the whole Big 12 over for consecutive camps so that we can kiss all kinds of Big 12 feet.

WVU prez now says B12 expansion is on hold.  B12 may not expand right now.  This actually may help us have a big year or 2 before they make a final decision.

One school president and two athletic directors from three different power five programs believe conference realignment and expansion is on hold.

In January, the Division I council approved a proposal allowing FBS leagues with less than twelve member schools to hold a conference championship game as long as the league uses a full round robin schedule.

The Big 12, the only power five conference without at least twelve member schools can now hold a conference championship game if it chooses to do so.

Because the proposal was adopted, it is now playing a key role in keeping the current state of the Big 12, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC as is.

“I think it has helped a lot,” West Virginia University president E. Gordon Gee told WVSports.com on Saturday night, after speaking during an Intercollegiate Athletics Panel in Morgantown.

“In the Big 12, it helps us in the fact that we don’t have to expand in order to be able to have a conference championship game. I think everyone is now working very hard to keep us together. I would have said maybe two years ago there was a real possibility of a disruption, but I feel that it’s much less now.”

Gee also serves on the Big 12 expansion committee. At this time, the league does not have plans to move to twelve schools.

“I think we’re a very stable league,” Gee said. “And I think that we’d only speak about expansion if it makes sense.”

The expansion committee still does research on potential future members, but none of the data is substantial enough for the league to pull the trigger on adding any new members.

“We’ve done all the analytics of what adding several teams would mean and what it would look like going into subdivisions,” Gee added.

Realignment is like any one of the GIF files some of us post on here.  Looks like it moves a little bit then goes back to square one.  Over, and over.

As far as I am concerned, this is great news.
