It really is a shame that the Big 12 didn't go west from the beginning.

It brings in the DC market like Boise brings in the Seattle market.

More like it brings in the Pittsburgh market

That's not what the b12 says. They sold it as the DC market

I'm glad someone gets it. I've always only watched land grant schools.

A shrinking market where WVU is the 3rd or 4th most popular college team.

How does adding teams stabilize the B12?

Did you miss the "from the beginning?"

Which teams wouldn't have left if BYU & UL added?

fleaman

7/31/15 9:33pm

It's all speculation, but adding teams that are strong to replace a very strong

That's what they said about Lousiville. It's about adding the right teams.

It doesn't stabilize the conference

fleaman

7/31/15 9:34pm

Yes it does. It makes it harder to void the GOR by defection. It means more

YIsForBrigham

7/31/15 9:35pm

Show me the GOR details

fleaman

7/31/15 9:37pm

Yes. If a majority of the league leaves, the conference is dissolved so there

YIsForBrigham

7/31/15 9:39pm

Majority of current 10 schools? Adding won't change that

fleaman

7/31/15 9:42pm

No a majority of the conference. Once new schools are added they become part of

YIsForBrigham

7/31/15 9:45pm

That's not in the GOR so it must be some legal thing

fleaman

7 leaving is much more difficult than 6 leaving. Also, it does have to do with

If GOR is only thing holding B12 together it's doomed

fleaman

It's not the only thing, but it is a big thing - like every other conference

How else does adding teams "stabilize" B12?

CCG is only other thing it adds

fleaman

7/31/15 10:22pm

It would block the easiest avenue to destroy the GOR

Do we know the GOR details?

The fact that there are more teams will make for a couple things

B12 schools: with new schools we rejected 4 years ago we're stronger than ever!

fleaman

Ok.
