JP has our AD in great shape to move forward. CPR is building something great and Fred is about to unleash hell in NCAA Basketball. Our Olympic sports and Women's basketball are all on great footing and many of them are highly ranked. But Pollard had a century of disappointment to overcome. Regardless though, unless we somehow magically became a national brand like Nebraska or Oklahoma we wouldn't magically become a big time player.

bohls hasn't had a clue yet.
The more people say Texas or anybody is leaving, the more I believe that they are staying put in some fashion. The media has blown every single bit of this story.
The only concrete development (the ACC move of Pitt and Syracuse) was never even hinte at by the media. They don't know anything, but have to keep talking just to justify their existence at this point.
I don't know what will happen, but I'm not buying anything from these losers on twitter.
If true..the Big East is all of a sudden a bottom feeder basketball conference. We need to avoid that ship at all cost if this really is true.
People don't remember history, The WAC was a 16 team conference that broke up because it was to big
It is very true and pertinent. But it isn't anything that hasn't been discussed here for a couple hundred pages. Lots of schools will regret these moves.
If those 4 schools go to the Pac 12, then you have Missouri or WVU joining the SEC, and UConn and Rutgers rounding out the ACC. That leaves:
ISU
KU
KSU
Missouri or WVU
Cinci
Louisville
TCU
Baylor
USF
Add in BYU, UCF, and ECU/AF/CSU.
Not a dream scenario, but better than the Big East of the past few years. Lock in some crazy exit penalties, and make it happen.

This is not good, a conference with Lville, Cincy etc...not good...I was not worried but with the Pitt/Syracuse move and people using group think I am getting really worried. We will land somewhere but a CUSA/BE/B12 merger is not good for us.
Hawks are playing Nebraska while we host SMU. Not good, how did this happen.

Yep. The Kirk Bowels article mention of only one really long trip per team per year reminded me of the WAC and Hawai'i. Admittedly, it's not *that* bad, but still, good luck.
I hope not.
I do think that the way things are breaking, if the Big 10 expands, we'd be in, but they won't expand if it won't make aggregate money.
Well everything I have been reading says either MU or WVU will be the 14th member in the SEC. So maybe the SEC only goes to 14 and that works but with the Pac 12 going to 16 and ACC to 16 the SEC will go to 16 I think
I'm sorry, I don't think we want anything to do with the SEC. It would be great for basketball, but football would be amazingly difficult. The Big 10 would be great for football and basketball. We'd compete immediately in basketball, and football would be competitive with Ind, Purd, NW, and Minnesota with some years Iowa, MSU, and possibly Wisconsin.
How do schools with 2nd tier academics (OSU and TT) get into the PAC? I thought Cal and Stanford would never stand for that kind of thing???
Even if it does go through the Big 12 carpetbaggers will regret the 2 hour timezone offset, especially once baseketball rolls around. And I would guess the non-revenue coaches are all filling their pants thinking about the increased travel.

With Pitt and Cuse to the ACC and potentially also UCONN going too, this can either be great for ISU or extremely terrible.
Best case: UCONN and Rutgers? also join ACC to go to 16, WVU goes to SEC, ISU KU KSU and MIZZOU joines B1G as a package. Everyone is happy (including mizzou)
Worst case: ISU joins MWC. I cannot see ISU joining the Big East after all of this. I would honestly be happier in the MWC than the Big East because in no way will the Big East be AQ conference after all of this. WVU is the last major school for football left in that conference and I don't expect them hanging around too much longer neither.
Just my 2 cents.
