Big 12 looking at splitting North/South. BYU wouldn't have any Texas div teams

Dang... I just came to post this. You are fast

BYU and not WVU in same division as Cincinnati is bad geography

Gustav

1/18/22 10:30am

Yep could swap TT with UC and it make close proximity for BYU but not sure how

The divisions only matter in football, right? So, I imagine for non football...

With 8 games I’m sure that would mean 1 to 2 games in Texas each year

Charles Darwin

Against Texas, not necessarily in

Divisions are so stupid.

Hey!

Division Bell

1/18/22 10:35am

This. Set an 8 game schedule and let the two best teams play in the CCG.

CaliWG

They need an NCAA bylaw change for that to work. It was a one-time grant for

Whatever, we won P12 South this year, looking fwd to winning B12 North in 2023

Seems to just be called “a projection of one way the Big 12 could…”

TCuz

1/18/22 10:34am

Yeah, this is something the author asked themselves, "how might it look?"

The Dark Knight

1/18/22 10:53am

Then goes on to speculate on a Donovan Mitchell trade...

ochobeeguy

1/18/22 10:55am

I see no schools in the north division agreeing to this

Remigius

1/18/22 10:36am

I would go East/West

Six Foot Seven

1/18/22 10:40am

And your Rivalry Weekend matchups would be:

Six Foot Seven

1/18/22 10:44am

That won't work for ANY of the non-TX schools, not just BYU. This is just one

dYrtbYkerYder

1/18/22 10:42am

Would be great if UT and OU hang around a couple more years

Gustav

1/18/22 10:42am

I would be shocked if OK State allowed that

CougarCanuck76

1/18/22 10:46am

I doubt it.

Socrates Johnson

1/18/22 10:51am

East/West split would make better sense.

wilsdad

1/18/22 10:54am

I feel like the easy solution is just swap WVU and OK State.

_Dakoko

1/18/22 10:56am

Wvu in the south. Makes sense

BYU '80

1/18/22 10:59am

LOL - Morgantown is even north of Cincinnati.

NewMexiCoug

1/18/22 11:11am

It's not far from Pittsburgh

ImuaKahuku

1/18/22 2:31pm

From that proposal it looks like the Texas schools will still wield the power.

NewMexiCoug

1/18/22 11:07am

This isn’t even a proposal it’s the writers guess no way it looks anything like

akmewg

1/18/22 11:11am

So this is just one persons guess and has nothing to do with actual talks, it’s

akmewg

1/18/22 11:08am

Also Morgantown WV is > north than OK or Kansas and about the same as Provo

Socrates Johnson

1/18/22 11:10am

IF they were intent on keepin all of the Texas schools in the same division,

jreid191

1/18/22 11:11am

So this isjust one writer's opinion. There are tons of opinions, including on CB

Hill4Heisman

1/18/22 11:13am

They are NOT looking at splitting N/S they are only looking at making division

akmewg

1/18/22 11:16am

The three AAC schools won't even be in the conference in 2023.

Dangerous

1/18/22 11:37am

Excited... and terrified.

BYUcrew818

1/18/22 11:41am

The best plan I've seen by far

krindorr

1/18/22 11:52am

I just want BYU to play in Iowa or Kansas every year. Then I'm good.

The Dark Knight

1/18/22 11:59am

This would very nearly do that, but once every 6 years they wouldn't

krindorr

1/18/22 12:17pm

Problem is that POD system doesn't work for CCG with current NCAA rules.

jreid191

1/18/22 12:17pm

The AAC was able to get a waiver for a non-division, non-round robin setup

krindorr

1/18/22 1:11pm

Texas would be better just for bigger LDS footprint.

Idacoug

1/18/22 12:02pm

5 Texas teams and the 1 Florida team in the same division with WVU added in?

thewaterboy

1/18/22 12:27pm

That's BS with BYU not having any division Texas games. We'll draw better

Mitty

1/18/22 12:35pm

BYU would still play teams in the south division. They'd have several TX games.

SoValleyCOUG

1/18/22 12:43pm

Is Texas trying to avoid playing BYU like the plague? That's was this feels like

thewaterboy

1/18/22 12:45pm

I would like a couple Texas teams in the division.

Schrodizzy

1/18/22 12:58pm

This doesn’t mean BYU won’t play games in Texas.

9 game conf schedule in a 12 team league is stupid. 8 is better - 5 in your division, then rotate through the other half

unctoothman

1/18/22 4:43pm

9 game conference schedules are just stupid anyway. They cause unbalanced

ManicBlue

1/18/22 8:39pm

The only time 9 games makes sense is when a conference has 10 teams

Kajdin

1/18/22 8:42pm

It makes sense if your network needs inventory

Charles Darwin

1/18/22 8:58pm

Not if your network owns rights to home games for the teams in your conference. And extra BYU v TTech or Kansas v WVU

unctoothman

1/19/22 8:56am

I see what you are saying but in general those big games will be picked up

Charles Darwin

1/19/22 9:45am

Nine game schedules will typically lead to fewer wins for some conference teams
