I swear to God, I hope someone is keeping all the worthless conference brackets posted on this site and holds the creators accountable for all the stupidity. There should be a flag next to their user name signifying "Documented Spewer of Worthless Information"
making way too much of the lack of mention imo, its like the last team in the former field of 64, fan support, travel, attendance, etc matter, Pollard has done what he needed to do to keep ISU up to par with the Jones with facilities, we are so far ahead of the the doomsday predictors its not even close, academically we were always there ISU gets picked for its brains not brawn, so when the lawsuits come from those that were left out - all the defense attorney has to say is "ISU is included, anymore questions"
Sad that schools have to create websites to promote themselves....
... On second thought, where's ours??
:smile:
I think it is fun to build scenarios like these. Do I think they will come true? No. If you don't like them, scroll past them. But most stuff on message boards could be included in the category of "Worthless Information".

Are you going to add anything to this thread or continue to troll?
Well it was the new York post. . . I love that paper, it looks like a tabloid. Great read when I am drunk at a bar. . .
Agreed! This isn't NCAA bracketology - it's conference alignment.
We're talkin' University Presidents involved, Regents, fans wanting to maintain rivalries, big dollar donors, TV money, - there's a lot of variables here. To think that this shakeup will have virtually every school hopping to a new conference, or sub-conference/division is insane.
Will conference shake-ups continue? Yes.
Will it be a total scramble as proposed by many here? No way.
There is almost no way that this goes down without the Big East being raided and losing 1-3 teams. That is assuming that the Pac 12 goes to 16, which will likely trigger the SEC to AT LEAST go to 14. That probably means Mizzou to the SEC or the SEC going after an ACC/Big East team. If the ACC gets raided, then they will fill from the Big East.
Baylor "committed to the Big XII" and then goes on to talk about just wanting to keep Texas football together.
But are they "Documented"?
I do scroll right past them. They take way too much space
Correct, NY Times mentioned multiple teams, but not specifics. NY Post mentioned KU, KSU and MU, but in their article, they said KU, KSU, MU and ISU reached agreements with Big East last year, but that ISU was expendable because of TCU. They didn't have anyone confirm that those were the schools that the Big East was talking to.
BREAKING NEWS: Big XII To Announce Three New Members Tuesday
Breaking news: Big XII Conference to announce invitation of new schools on Tuesday. It's expected that the league's commissioner, Dan Beebe, will announce that the University of Texas, the University of Texas, and the Detroit Lions have accepted positions in the Big XII, thus ensuring the conference's stability at 12 teams.
"We're really very excited about the future of the Big XII," says DeLoss Dodds, University of Texas AD. "Our opportunity to compete well and win in this league has just gotten much greater, and we look forward to the new quality of our competition."
The Detroit Lions organization was said to be ecstatic about once again having the chance of making it to the playoffs. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has been quoted as saying, "we've finally gotten ourselves to the point where we are evenly matched against our competition."

Baylor and ISU are in a similar boat, historically irrelevant in Fball, at present they have their seneca and will make some noise but in the end will be happy to visit Shreveport, while others feel confident if it comes down to KSU, BU and ISU, ISU prevails...not so sure about that. I don't think it comes to that, but BU, KSU are more relevant thant ISU to most in Fball, KSU for its success with the before he was Old Snyder and BU for its location in Texas..
