Joining the Big 12 is short term thinking. The conference is doomed and this expansion will not save it.
This is just one last cash grab for the school's before 2024 when both Oklahoma and Texas leave with everyone else left scrambling to try and be the last few teams chosen for the 4 16 team super conferences.
...and we're way more likely to be one of those teams that make it to 4x16 if we're in a P5 conference. Regardless of any tangibles (fan base, recruiting, on field performance, student population, academics) the first criteria of being invited to join a top tier conference is if you had a football team that once wore leather helmets.
I believe FSU is the only P5 team that has been playing football in Div1 for under 70 years.
Rutgers and Louisville as well. But they were at least playing before the well before the 70's.
I don't think you guys are getting in to be honest, though.
Some people really get freaked out by the random horrible season. It makes them forget everything else.
Rutgers is the birthplace of college football - literally the first place that a college football game was played. They've been playing football since 1869.
Pitt, I don't know if you are just willfully delusional, or are serious on your troll game. Why don't you tell me why Baylor joined the B12? What happened to their program? More money gives you access to top name coaches, our location gives a natural advantage for recruiting, and the elevated status gives us a boost to pretty much everything (TV Ratings, Increased Ticket Prices, more Marquee games, better football schedules). You are looking at a single facet of the transition that could "potentially" be negative. Damn the rest of the positives I suppose right Pitt?
Yes. But depending on what you meant by division 1 they have only been playing there since the 90s.
