The national click bait media guys are the only ones that push the no value added narrative. It's really pathetic how they continue to crap on the remaining schools because it's simply not true and the Pac and B1G realize that.
IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
Exactly. If Colorado, Rutgers, and Maryland have value, then so do we.
This "Alliance" is really like all of the neighbors on a street agreeing to not put up a fence. They meet, drink beers & come to a verbal agreement. But then 8 months later 1 gets a new job, sells & moves and the new family immediately puts up a fence because there is no signed document.
Not sure what to make of this.
Seems like an odd way for titanic news like that to come out.
Wannstedt does seem kind of like a dope who would spill the beans, though.
The three non-SEC conferences going to 16 would make sense as this point.
ISU and KU are the obvious fits in the Big Ten of those remaining. Same with WVU in the ACC.
Pac-16 picks up whatever four it wants of the remainder at that point.
Maybe ACC adds one more or maybe it holds out for Notre Dame.
Seemed oddly specific he'd articulate a "plan" that makes sense for the parties involved.
Probably nonsense, but oddly specific and logistical for a scenario to make up.

Where can I acquire one of these BIGACCPACs? Sounds like it'd be ideal for backpacking trips 
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but if Fox was wanting to leak something to help pressure things in the their preferred direction, that makes Dave the perfect candidate. If it doesn't work, that's just Dave being Dave.
But is it a chain link fence or a wooden one? And if chain link, are we talking black vinyl coated or just the bare metal?
I'm really starting to think they will pluck the remaining Big 12 members. That's why they said the Big 12 has worth.
Drunken agreements are way more binding in my world than yours.
Still see this as the BIGACCPAC wanting to counter-balance the SEC move...not moving forward will simply force them into following the SEC lead here, also putting ESPN in control. If Fox wants to stay competitive, then it is going to move the BIGACCPAC forward. Balancing out the BIG with ISU/KU, ACC with ND/WV, and PAC with TT, OSU, KSU, and TCU will generate regional rivalries and higher TV/streaming numbers. The BIGACCPAC also can drive terms for CFP and whatever shape the NCAA morphs into.
Those conferences all know that they aren't getting poached at the moment. No one in the Big 12 can agree to any agreement right now because they will all accept an invitation to one of those three when it is extended so any sort of agreement including the Big 12 is transparently meaningless. I do think that those conferences want to see as much extracted from OU and UT as possible and they are willing to let the Big 12 stand so as to achieve that goal. There's zero reason to make an official move before OU and UT leaving is imminent.
Instability and questions on the near future aren’t good for business, ever.
I would say the are big pro markets, I doubt there are many rutgers shirts being worn around the meadowlands.
I gotta admit...I didn't envision I'd be posting about Dave Wannstedt today.
I think most of the loudest voices are ones who are either naive enough to think that three conferences comprising 41 schools would have a signed contract in two weeks, or ones who want to make the agreement look bad because they're SEC shills.
