expansion news

[StPaulHusker]

Read on texas sites they don't like their schedule that the current B12 offers (Kansas teams, Baylor, Tech etc) and the fear that the lack of CCG and weaker schedule could leave them out of the playoffs.

Check out their schedule this year.

About as unsexy as it gets. Not only that but they don't have any big names on the schedule besides OU and no conference champ game.

Wonder why Kansas agreed to have their game televised on the LHN. Then again I wonder why Kansas agreed to have ANY game televised.

I think you underestimate the arrogance of the people in Chicago......think Texas X 100.......even Texas wouldn't have come up with Legends and Leaders

Absolutely no. You want to know about the arrogance of U of Texas, ask Colorado. Ask Missouri, ask Texas A&M, ask Arkansas. You don't have to take Nebraska Fan's word for it. Those folks are ridiculous.

Houston, Rice, and SMU may have something worthwhile to contribute as well.

But they don't want a CCG. Just ask them:

Bowlsby said expansion is not on the Big 12 table but said even if the Big 12 did expand, he’s not sure the league would add a championship game.“I don’t know if we got to 12 if we would necessarily implement a conference championship game,” Bowlsby said. With the new playoff format coming in 2014, with four teams, “We really like our path to the national championship playoffs, playing a full round robin. It brings real value to the regular season. We’ve all seen instances where a team lost in the conference championship game and eliminated their opportunity to play in the national championship game.”

Most people would interpret that as meaning the team wasn't worthy of being in an NC game.

Thanks Nic. Frank pretty much spells out what a bunch of us here have said for a while--that challenging a GoR would be expensive and labor intensive.

Perfect for a school like Texass that has copious amounts of dirty oil money to throw down this particular hole. :hookerhorns

Read on texas shaggy site (was there for the Manziel humor) in their expansion thread that a blogger tweeted:

Last thing tonight: Crazy Rumor of the night! PSU didn't get booted from B10 for their crimes against humanity but might another school(1)

What in the hell does that mean? I don't comprehend gibberish.

He's from WVU, it's all BS

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

It can't be Minnesota, no one has ever thought them worthy of being in a rumor.

 

[exswoo]

He's talking about another conference kicking a school out...probably trying to stir up sh*t about Miami and ACC.

More discussion recently on Texas site shaggybevo about B10 expansion rumors. This time Texas and GT to B10 - apparently this was disclosed to Oliver Luck when he was approached for Texas AD job. Others were OU/Kansas to B1G.

This whole Maryland to the Big Ten settlement should have been done ages ago.

Why its not done? the ACC knows once Maryland leaves that could open the floodgates. This whole GoR is not what they say it is or they would have finished this business.

OU can not be untethered from OSU.

Texas has what? 10 year contract with LHN/ESPN that they can not/will not dump. No way B1G lets them in with that thing.
