A better strategy is not to extend too much now with too many teams from the PAC (that is bad for us BTW) and have room left after the SEC or B10 figure out how the ACC can be broken up and get some left overs these to have a good division in the East.
Big 18 was said multiple times. That’s the strategy. Not a full merger. Where are you getting 10? Are you resorting to strawman?
Any true UCF fan should want to jump through their screen and strangle you for suggesting this.
The guy said the B12 was open for business, not open for bad business and foolish decisions. We will have to wait out the media negotiations to get the best teams possible....totally sure we could get Ore St, Wash St, and Cal to sign immediately.
This scenario (6 or more PAC schools) is not in UCF's best interest. The conference needs more teams in the East. Take 4 PAC schools and save four places for the ACC teams like LVille, NC St, GT, Pitt etc.
So wait for somebody else to make moves like the old Big XII, instead of weakening the PAC then wait for the better PAC to come calling.
LOL, how is the PAC going to be "better" assuming we could get 4 of their teams? Instead of making dumb moves just to sign the first 4 teams that raise their hand, we get the best 4 teams we can. Not talking about a year from now, all this should be settled in 60 days. In a rough pecking order, this is how I see the desirability:
Yeah, we are just going to have to disagree....even if a P3 went to 40 schools, the income per school is just watered down.
GT, NCSt, VT, and Pitt/BC/Louisville. Pass on Syracuse. This would give entire east coast coverage.
They are talking about a 7 year GOR, which is OK but 5 would be better for UCF, which I think has more breakout potential than any B12 school
I don't think Cal would sign unless they had too. Besides they really don't spend much on their football program anymore.
Start the process, get a couple of teams, then wait for the better to come calling. Guess you mis-interpreted me saying the PAC would get better.
So you're process is to wait till after maybe they are uncomfortable with the new TV contract, IF it happens, rather than trying to chip away and make the TV channel uncomfortable with the PAC. OK, no problem. Wait and see sometimes works. Hasn't for the last few years of the XII, but maybe it works now. I'd rather try to destroy the PAC by taking 2, make it appear they're weak. If we were honest, any (in reality) crap PAC team is far more respected by twit talking heads than the last 4 the Big XII added. Yes, it's probably not reality, but the majority of viewers/ESPN blabbers really only want to watch/talk about the same teams they've been talking about for the last decade. Point being, 2 different approaches, wait for a chance of something good happening, or the other, try to prod it into happening. My choice, try to end the PAC and be the only viable option for the better teams to come around.
I'm not concerned with the new commissioner taking over. He announced they are open for business. From his comments during media days I believe they are aggressively looking at all the scenarios and running the numbers before bringing in any teams. I would be concerned if old Bowlsby, was still in charge. He was the one that passively sat on his hands
Agree, very suspicious......remember the old saying “a true friend stabs you in the front”
Someone help here since I don't know the connections. Why would you (the Big XII) bother to listen to ND, since they'd never want to join it?
This is all part of the story of ND asking a tv partner for 75 million per year. ND isn't worth that much on their own so they need to align with a conference for shoulder programming. Some believe the ACC is losing ground in their partnership with ND. I'm under the impression ND wants Stanford because they have history.
Agreed, any relationship of ND with B12 will be 10x worse than what it was between Texas and B12. ND would be seeing this as an opportunity to pocket the vast majority of the money leaving pennies for the rest and hoping the conference will be ok with it because now they can claim ND is with them.

Thats comical. Boulder snobsColorado Administration Views the Big 12 as a 'JUCO League'
With conference realignment back in full swing, there has been plenty of speculation as to whether or not the Pac-12 could fall apart in the near future. If it does, could teams end up in the Big 12? One team that has come up as a possible future Big 12 team is Colorado, who of […]
Let them sink with the ship. There’s definitely better teams from the Pac 12…10…6…..
I think this is the very definition of “all hat and no cattle.” I say let them wallow in their own irrelevance. They seem to enjoy their place as the doormat of the conference. Why would they move to a demonstrably much more competitive conference? If any school has a JUCO level product it’s CU. They are already the laughing stock of the PAC, why would they want to move to become the laughing stock of the Big 12? I have a simple question for the CU administration.

Thats a really damaging quote. I wonder if it was made before the PAC lost the LA market, or is that individual that out of touch.
Little story with context for the JUCO comment.

As a Big XII Conference historian, that's 'par for the course' for the elitist CU Administration.
