Big 12 to not add any new teams for now

[greenblood]

The longhorn TV deal is what's killing the conference. Don't be surprised if Oklahoma, oklahoma st, Texas tech, to jump ship to the PAC 12. The PAC 12 will then court Houston to pressure Texas into dropping their network and join the PAC 12 before the rug goes out on them.

Then Oregon, Washington, and California schools make the west division. Then the others make of the east. It makes too much sense though. Watch our commissioner screw it up.

It should have gone this route a few years ago when it was last discussed and Texas wanted their own network. The 4 team playoff should create the need for 4 16 team super conferences. Then it's really an 8 team playoff because the 4 conference championships effectively are an additional playoff game.

That will never happen because it will render the polls useless. And the selection committee full of important people like Ty will be rendered useless.

The current model is doing to change already. DirecTV has already stated they are going away from dishes and boxes to the internet in 4 years. I think we'll be paying for a conglomerate of channels through the internet soon.

The credibility of polls isn't why we don't have super conferences and an expanded playoff. We don't have an expanded playoff because we have dumb commissioners like Larry Scott that think they make more money with bowl sponsorships from AT&T, Tostitos, GoDaddy, 2000 Flushes, etc.

Super conferences are already in the making in the ACC, SEC, and Big 10. The last conference to make the jump will either be the Big 12 or the Pac 12. The reason the Big 12 hasn't disbanded yet is because schools like Baylor, TCU, Kansas, Kansas St., and Iowa St. will be left in the cold. These schools will accept anything to keep the conference together even letting Texas have their TV deal. However, schools like Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., and Texas Tech with some leverage can force Texas' hand.

Texas would not be in the Big 12 right now if they didn't have their own separate TV deal.

West Virginia is irrelevant because they would more likely be picked up by the ACC or Big 10 once the shit hit the fans. Those are actually better conferences for them geographically anyhow.

The Big 12 is fine in its current state as long as Texas and Oklahoma are making comparable money to the major schools in the other P5 conferences. When they don't, that's when you will see everything go tits up.

The assumption that it's an automatic that it will be the Okie schools + Texas + Texas Tech is a little too flawed IMO because Tech really doesn't bring much to the table. Tech's really not good at anything and is far from being in any kind of geographic market.

Even if you assume that it's those 4 schools going in other directions, each conference needs to still add teams to get to the totals that are required for 16 in each ... Big 10, ACC, and SEC all need 2 each. Big 10 will be taking Kansas and ??? (maybe Kansas State). ACC will likely finally get around to taking UConn and ???. SEC would likely take someone from Texas (likely TCU if they don't go West to the PAC) and who knows who else.

The idea that some probably would have that TCU is screwed in a reorganization is not paying attention. The athletic programs in key sports are very good (football is football, baseball has been to the College World Series 3 straight years, basketball just hired Jamie Dixon). The location is strong located in the DFW market. Academics are respected. They will be going somewhere. To me it is a stronger pull than Texas Tech ... most Tech alums don't give a shit ...

Then the SEC jumps even further ahead of the rest.

I don't see how, especially when the new media/technology landscape may favor the top programs even more so than now. I can foresee an SEC breakup due to a shrinking TV $ pot and/or the big schools trying to get a bigger share of said pot. Heck, the whole conference model may DIAF.

Exactly... the new distribution models for TV favor the networks and not the traditional sat and cable carriers.

Way to plagiarize my shit fuck-O.

The funny thing is if the cable bubble bursts the PAC-12 is actually in a great spot, in fact, they might be rooting for it.

About the only good thing Scott has done was make sure the conference has full ownership of its network. It sucks for right now because they can't get into as many households without the cable companies backing it; but if shit hits the fan the conference could make SERIOUS money with 100% ownership.

Those purple pills must be some good shit.

No, he's right that the big schools in each conference could decide to opt out into a sort of Premier League for cfb.

And the conference model potentially falling apart means schools might leave the SEC for the B12 how exactly?

Read for comprehension next time.

I'll solve this whole thing here really quick.

TV subscription is dying and will soon be completely dead. However, each individual network will have either a sole streaming option or will out together packages with the other networks they own. The same number of eyes or even more will he watching on a screen. The way it gets to that screen means fuck-all.

Here is how you solve everything in the current landscape. You split the country into four zones east to west, then make a north and south. You make the playoff eight teams. Each region has 16 teams. If you want to have a soccer style relegation so be it, it won't happen, but pretend if you want.

The winner of the North & South of each region makes the playoff.

The big boys are all together, the mid majors can create their own thing that will absolutely be watched, especially the post season, and FCS stays irrelevant.

Plagiarisms my shit fucko.

You have to have a desirable product to make SERIOUS money.

How do you explain the rise in Reality TV programming?

You are out of your element Donnie.

Purple Pills argued that the Big12 could poach from the SEC. Because the conference model might fall apart.

You are seriously delusional if you think TBU is going to end up in the SEC.

If the colleges aren't going to spin football off into a quasi NFL I hope they go back to the historical conference model.

Revenue share between conferences and do shit regionally. Put in an eight team playoff and blammo, there's your product.
