In a million years I'd never pay for cable tv again.
I'd gladly pay $10 a month for a streaming subscription with lots of iSU sports regardless of where I live.
That's the future, not wrapping football up with the home shopping channel.

A Super-Conference Poacher’s Guide to the Big 12
The Big 12's leftover teams, a football-centric ranking.

From an Oklahoma State perspective. While he ranks ISU high and has nice things to say about us, the further you read past us the quicker you realize he has no idea what he is talking about.
We could end up in a scenario where it’s in the best interest of the leftovers to make sure the others have a safe harbor so we can avoid exit fees and (fewer) legal fights.
Guessing it‘ll be an 8-2 vote with TCU and Baylor voting against.
OK, understood. So we have a couple of years for this to all occur. But teams and conferences are/will be positioning now. What happens if college football does something really stupid, threatening its' own existence? I would hope the Feds step in.

Wisconsin Badgers perspective with nice things to say about a Kansas and ISU add to the Big 10
texas and oklahoma legislatures likely to step in im thinking, u have 4 of the 5 major universities in texas against this, need to stop paying equal sorry, with the plan isu would net out 3rd in pay and the SEC will panic and follow suit within 5 years, ISU has leverage, because we invented the first computer and can solve this problem for Texas and they dont need to be doing any thing, like forever playing championships in Atlanta, and playing Alabama on Big Monday (joke that would never happen)
Maybe it's 20 teams or a partnership between the PAC and B1G with Big 12 refugees?
I agree that Go Independent should be added to the poll. Seriously, though ..., because geography could become a barrier to entry for a school inside the B1G footprint, if the B1G does not see fit to extend an offer. In that case, being independent might be comparable financially to surrendering media rights to a lesser conference.
And, keep in mind, this conference shake up will not be the last. Being independent for a time, in the event the Big 12 disbands, could preserve some "Big 5" cred until the next round of musical chairs. It would be a viable alternative to branding ourselves as being among the Group of 5, or 6 as the case may be.
big 10 is bad for us imo, we can sell non big 10 to recruits all over, they are panicking to get us in the conference to take away recruiting edge take cmc, and iowa can schedule a different ooc, pay on ratings texas and ou stay is the way out, someone email JP
Going independent is not an option. Complete non-starter. We aren't getting any network to give us a TV deal. Not a chance.
From the internet so far, seems Iowa is in the way. Haven't heard much from Minnesota, and Nebraska is split. Surprisingly I see a lot of Wisconsin folks saying it was be cool to add isu.
We got Mediacom channell 22 to fall back on.
Other perspective out of Columbus: I thought Iowa State was already in our conference?
yes sir iowa on board too is my guess, columbus already has tipped their hand
this should be the backup plan tho imo way too risky
Yeah, my initial take on this was before it was obvious this wasn't just some kind of television negotiation ploy. We're well beyond that point now, obviously. Big Ten is the optimal at this point - no question.
I would say MN for us, the other two against us. Iowa may be forced to be neutral at the admin level (we know the fan level lol). Nebraska has to be against against against.
Iowa is not in the way, only the tavern hoks want to say they are, the UofI officials have already said they would not stand in the way.
This is about more than petty crap tavern hoks think about.
We have too many common interests, goals and management for them to officially fight our entrance, my guess is it will be the opposite and they will actually advocate for us.
Do you think OK and TX in the B12 impacts how we recruit the midwest? We're doing fine finding players in other people's backyards and it's quite evident our coaching staff can coach them way up.
