nic Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 It might not be in the best interest of the Big10 et all to know how easy they are to break. I think if enough members leave a conference they would be easy to dissolve. ESPN needs to cut costs anyway. Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So if the OU/KU thing is real, that's 16 - does the B1G stop at 16? If that happens b12 is severely weakened so what does Texas do? B1G will have to be attractive to them especially with marquee B12 teams on board which makes travel better. So if Texas comes I guess you need 3 more, right? I mean it's either 16 or 20, correct?

StPaulHusker Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Grant of Rights. Basically its a way to kill expansion, but if a team wanted out badly enough they could do it, it would just end up costing them. Though we don't know what that cost would be, since no one has challenged them yet, and potential damages would be hard for the conference being left to establish if their media contracts continue to pay the same amount, regardless of the number of teams. The way i understood GOR was that the remaining teams of the conference would have to stay intact and then prove that there would be a loss of $ with a team leaving the conference. But if several leave and the league dissolves, then there is no basis for the GOR Quote Link to comment
Creed Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Another B12 bashing article by OU's beat writer. Wonder if OU admin is promoting any of this to Trammel to lay the groundwork for OU's move announcement? http://newsok.com/big-12-expansion-why-nebraska-missouri-and-am-arent-returning-to-the-land-of-the-longhorn-network/article/5438498/?page=2 Quote Link to comment
nic Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Big10 would take texas. They are aau, too. It would be funny to take UT, OU, AND KU and the set up a western office in Lincoln. Quote Link to comment

Considering the "Western" office is in Chicago, I don't think Lincoln has much of a shot. But taking those 3 plus UConn on the East would be a total beast conference for football AND basketball Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 NO TEXAS! ONLY OU! There is nothing wrong with Texas if they can be reigned in. And the B1G is the conference that can do that. I bet they would even part ways with LHN. 1 Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Honestly if the West division ended up adding OU KU and Texas to Nebraska Wiscy Minny NW Illinois Iowa, you are looking at a pretty stout division. Note: this scenario moves Purdue to the East Quote Link to comment

nic Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Chicago would be the central office. Lincoln the west...just thought it would be a funny slap in the face to Texas if they joined. Please, no 8 team divisions if we go to 16. 4x4 pods. I want to play each other more not less. Quote Link to comment
