HarlemCoug Free to change my mind

somehow did, the faculty and students would put an end to it immediately.

And if pekple think that the rape culture can be overlooked, then consider the religious affiliation. Baylor isnt going to the P12 and the AZ schools get it.

CONFIRMATION BIAS could kill the BIG12 just like it has the PAC. Nobody thought

I hope they are right. I really hope.

Sure, it's just a rumor, but PK rarely shares rumors and loves the Pac

Agree 100%. I have posted about this on CB. Most want to discount the

Whatever. Swaim and PK already confirmed it. That’s as good as official.

True. Seems extremely unlikely though when you look at everything

The fact XII Extends East will help in the future with bias

The Big12's advantage is that it has ZERO prima dona/blue bloods left in it

I get it. We want to believe that those things can’t be overlooked.

7/7/22 8:26am

That’s a very passive aggressive response. It would be great to have a BB but

I’m trying to be as direct as possible. Personally, I think money

But BYU knows they arent a good fit in the P12. Sure, there would be a honeymoon phase where everyone gets along, but 3

You are much more optimistic about the decision makers in our universities than i am

You’re suffering from confirmation bias about us having confirmation bias.

😂 I want PAC12 schools to join the BIG12 too.

canofpicante

7/7/22 10:14am

Having no marquee brands is an advantage. But it's also a disadvantage

krindorr

7/7/22 8:36am

That's not true, I brought up B1G poaching those schools last year

TheRowdy

7/7/22 8:24am

Not true for everyone. Absolutely. Some are more open-minded than others.

canofpicante

7/7/22 8:27am

People outside the PAC12 were certainly ringing those alarm bells

krindorr

7/7/22 8:39am

The difference is that the PAC 10 sans USC and UCLA has less value than the New Big 12.

Adrielle

Not with the addition of the 6 best BIG12 teams. Lemme know if you want sources

In the world of show me it becomes a stronger negotiating point if what is in your hand is stronger.

DJROSS

I agree with what you’re saying. BUT It’s also what we WANT to believe. And that

I have no say in the matter, so my confirmation bias doesn't move the needle.

HarlemCoug

That’s one school. I agree.

canofpicante

7/7/22 8:29am

I'm not sure Baylor is a worthwhile add, even aside from all that

krindorr

7/7/22 8:48am

No one wants Kansas so they’re stuck. We all are and I’m cool with it.

Currently the BIG XII payout is more than the PAC X payout and will have further

BYU Grounds

Again, sources say PAC12 with no USC/UCLA but with UO, UW, and added BIG12 teams

canofpicante

7/7/22 9:05am

But why jump for similar $$$?

TheRowdy

7/7/22 9:10am

Money similar. Academics way better. Big names/reputation better with

The whole academics are way better is being oversold. We are talking football and the entertainment value. Academics has

Yeah, but decisions are made by University Presidents, not Athletic Directors

You asked why. So I some reasons. I probably agree that the BIG12 is in a

canofpicante

7/7/22 11:44am

"We" does that really matter since "We" are not making these decisions?

DJROSS

7/7/22 11:53am

None of our (CBers) opinions mean much at all. Yet here we are.

canofpicante

7/7/22 12:01pm

That is why I steer clear of using Us and We in such conversations.

DJROSS

7/7/22 12:11pm

I thought it was intuitive

canofpicante

7/7/22 2:54pm

Payouts get complicated when you consider all the factors

krindorr

7/7/22 10:38am

You must also consider how many of the current teams in the Big XII were those spurned by the PAC12 when all they wanted

DJROSS

This is a different situation than last year with different motivations.
