I don't think we go through the hassle of a GOR just to get an ACC basketball team, but if we did I think it would be UVA. Quote Link to comment

The GOR from the ACC might be difficult to get out of While I agree that the GOR would be an issue, all contracts can be negotiated, even after the fact. If UVA really wanted to leave the ACC, they'd come up with a way to do it. But I don't see them leaving. VT, FSU, and Miami are relative newcomers to the ACC and might leave, but the old guard isn't likely to bail. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Aren't Oklahomas academics garbage? Or am I thinking of a different school? Quote Link to comment

Flood Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Oklahoma is not and has never been AAU, a sticking point for B1G presidents in the past. We all know they voted NU in with knowledge that we were losing AAU status. Heck, some of their own votes were responsible for NU losing that very status. I have no idea what would happen with OU, but I imagine Delany is working hard to help them understand that OU has closed the gap considerably and that inevitably compromises will be necessary if expansion continues--and if the B1G hopes to land teams that generate viewers and money. How gray the line is and how sharp is an interesting question. There must be factor(s) that are changing as the years go by. Quote Link to comment

Or am I thinking of a different school?You're thinking of Okie liteActually if you really want to get an education in Oklahoma you would go to Okie St. If you want to party go to OU. But with that being said OSU is not the Harvard of the southern plains. Quote Link to comment

But with that being said OSU is not the Harvard of the southern plains. Multiple sources have OU ranked higher academically than okie st. Also I've heard rumors about how one of the main reasons why the OU-UT to the PAC deal didn't work out was because not only did UT back out, but also because the California schools and Washington didn't like the idea of being in the same conference as osu. In regards to partying and being an academically prestigious school, just look at the University of Iowa and Illinois Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Screwed that one up, damn iPhone. OU is a much better school, from an academic side of things. The number of national merit scholars and $ they pump into research is actually quite impressive. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think that if this domino falls it will be the last nail in the coffin for the Big 12. I mean how do they respond? They aren't keen on adding anyone. Texas, Tech, Baylor and TCU to the Pac 12 Okie State I could see follow maybe, think an SEC offer is wishful thinking. Kansas hopfefully would be OU's partner, if not they could end up in the ACC with KSU maybe. ISU is screwed. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't see the Big12 completely crumbling as you say Redux. I see a Big 8 if anything happens. Stays: ISU Texas Texas Tech Oklahoma St. Baylor TCU K-State WV Gone: Oklahoma (B10) Kansas (B10) Quote Link to comment

Stays: ISU Texas Texas Tech Oklahoma St. Baylor TCU K-State WV Gone: Oklahoma (B10) Kansas (B10) We are on the verge of 16 team conferences. If the Big 12 falls to 8 teams they are screwed. Without the money OU brings in, they won't survive unless they expand. And adding mid majors will not cut it. Ultimately, Texas would probably want to bail if OU left. They have fallen to middle of the pack in a watered down league. Quote Link to comment

They have fallen to middle of the pack in a watered down league. Teams that the Big 12 could pull into the league IMO would be Houston, BYU, Colorado St. and BSU. Those schools could/would be competitive in the conference. BSU actually plays a lot of Olympic Sports and is fairly good at them. Quote Link to comment
