Where Will ISU End Up if the Big 12 Implodes?

[dahliaclone]

KU will land in the BIG 10.

Might be true...but if it is true, another school will as well to even out divisions.

 

[Mads4st8]

That could be the case, but if we're talking wish lists when that hasnt happened yet, the pac 12 would reach out to KU first.

Have you followed the Pac12 Commish comments over the last week? More so, rumors of OU leaving were floated around last Friday. This news didn’t just come out today. The wish list isn’t preliminary.

First and foremost **** the east coast. After that the 8 teams in states that border the Pacific would likely form a division. So other than Arizona (6 months a year) our division games wouldn't be Pacific starts. Why does it matter when a football game starts? They're on Saturday.

Basketball a 9 30 game is over before midnight as long as WVa doesn't follow us and I don't watch Thuggins unless we're playing. Painful to watch games with no flow.

The most painful reality to leaving the Big XII is KC in March.

Leaving the Big 12 Tournament in KC would be terrible. But a PAC-12 tourney in Vegas over 5 days isn’t a bad consolation prize.

I also think people need to stop using TV eyeballs/geographic footprint/tv markets as such a huge thing. 10-15 years ago, yes. But cable subscribers have fallen by like 20M...it's just not as big of a deal for a conference like the Big Ten as it used to be. We aren't in 2010 anymore.

Big Ten adds ND to the east and Iowa State to the west. KU, KSU, OSU, TT head to PAC 12. TCU and Baylor screwed. WVU maybe picked up by ACC or something.

Agree. Not even 10-15 years ago, hell 3-4 years ago that was the deal, but the world has changed and things will continue to move away from geographic/regional TV footprint.

This would easily be the best outcome for us.

No way. B1G is laps ahead of every other option.

95% of the stuff on Twitter is fake and outrageous. Let's just all have a beer and wait for this to blow over.

This would be good for us. Especially in football because CMC recruits Big Ten territory very well.

Only one?

 

[Nolaeer]

not having a baseball team will limit ISU's opens.

WVU will either go ACC (if it can), independent like BYU, or maybe stay in watered down big 12 if some regional teams are added to reduce travel(cinn, Memphis, Uconn, and UCF and USF for recruiting).

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

Iowa State should move now to join the Big 10. We should not wait for OU or Texas to leave. We need to be aggressive to ensure we are not left out of the 4 power conferences. The Big 12 is done.

 

[Cyrock18]

No way the B1G adds us.

 

[NorthCyd]

No way the B1G adds us.

Probably true, but it is still an option no matter how remote.

 

[TarCy]

ACC / B12 merger of sorts...

Acc drops wake, bc, Syracuse, gT, adds ND
Combine the 18 remain for an east / west divison

Great crossover basketball opportunities, while keeping a small football footprint with selective cross overs.

Pretty even football divisions.

East
UNC NCSU FSU MIA CLEMSON UVA VT DUKE ND

WEST

ISU KU KSU OSU TTU TCU WVU LOU BAY

Maybe, but I don't think it would be good for Campbell.
