    Expanded Football Idea with Dynamic Divisions (Promotion/Relegation)

    I'm sure there are smarter ways to break divisions... I just wanted to take credit for thinking of it a year before Pollard :D As far as ISU goes - I don't feel like we really have any rivals left in the Big 12 that I care enough about to protect. Our one rival is pretty much already a lock for...

    Expanded Football Idea with Dynamic Divisions (Promotion/Relegation)

    I've got a crystal ball... check the date stamp. 14 teams w/ dynamic divisions, all in the conversation now.

    Next Coach Possibility (just putting this out there)

    I'd hope PJ Fleck from WMU is on our list to at least interview. Young coach but good recruiting at a MAC and schedules aggressively. Seems to have potential.

    Denver was in the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference for the past two years.

    Big 12 Affiliate Members

    So I was just thinking about the "news" of six affiliate wrestling members and the wonderful web of affiliates. Just to recap: Under the Big 12 banner, the conference now has the following affiliate members: Gymnastics: Denver Wrestling: South Dakota State, NDSU, N Colorado, Utah Valley...

    Wrestling Adding Affiliate Members

    Jim Nelson with the WCFCourier is reporting that Big 12 will add the six members of Western Wrestling Conference as affiliate members for next season. This would add Air Force, NDSU, Northern CO, SDSU, Utah Valley, and Wyoming. ISU coach Jackson said in the piece that there was discussion with...

    Big 12 Wrestling Expansion

    I wish ISU could just run over to the Big Ten and join them for wrestling - but i get why they can't. I'm much looking forward to something... the Big 12 teams may as well be scheduling as if they are independent at this point.

    This is on Bowlsby

    Whatever you call it - wouldn't have mattered. Sounded like the committee said Baylor or TCU needed that 13th game for a 12-1 record. 11-1 isn't good enough.

    Expansion

    What is obviously clear is that the Big 12 needs a 13th game to get the best team over the hump. I'm guessing the NCAA rules on division scheduling will be removed and Big 12 could construct a championship within the 10 teams. I think the Big 12 could also totally be interested in adding...

    One True Champion???

    Even if they did a tie-breaker and crowned Baylor the sole champ it wouldn't chnage a thing. The CFP will still see the same season records as they evaluate regardless if the Big12 gave out two trophies or one. If the playoff had eight spots none of this would matter.

    One True Champion???

    No kidding - and I don't see any reason why they need to rank 25. The top 4 are what matters.

    TCU NOT Big XII (co) champion

    I get that there is an issue with awarding co-champs. But the conf. does have a tie-breaker rule for placing teams in the Sugar Bowl (Champions Bown v. SEC). It is decided by the head-to-head play. The CFP is independent of rules and even if the Big 12 declares Baylor the Big 12 Champ - it...

    Expanded Football Idea with Dynamic Divisions (Promotion/Relegation)

    Now that the Big 12 is under equal rev. sharing I figure it would continue as such. The divisions would likely balance out so it's plausible both divisions would have similar bowl placement. I don't know enough about bowl payout but since the divisions are dynamic perhaps in the long term it...
