Dennis Dodd of CBS just posted one idea: take the best of the Big 12 and PAC 12

BYU is going to get screwed again

My fear as well we need the big 12 to be aggressive right now.

If the decision was simply metrics based then I’d like our chances as we compare

Polemic

I share that concern. Big 12 has to be aggressive.

BlooCoog

We'll be alright.

Best situation would be...

KU4LIFE

7/3/22 11:27am

All the new additions have to be nervous with that scenario.

7/3/22 11:28am

IMHO the older schools would have to worry as well. Tradition is gone, money

Nat Gas Man

7/3/22 11:46am

Not really. There are original B12 schools that would likely be left out in that scenario and

3 of the new schools just shelled out huge exit fees. If I were them, I’d be

Maybe the ACC could be convinced to take a couple of the Eastern teams.

Nat Gas Man

7/3/22 11:58am

The exit fees were not really that huge ... $17 million? Cal should be the one holding their breath.

ManicBlue

7/3/22 12:59pm

That would be the best way to compete with the SEC/B1G, but is brutal.

The worst part is that no school outside those 2 conferences will ever be able

One reason the new big 12 might be the safest is that there are no superstars

LaserCoug

7/3/22 11:34am

Reason 1…and it’s all that matters…

TrueBlue67

7/3/22 11:32am

They would take the name of one of the current conferences to avoid that issue

BYU '80

7/3/22 12:00pm

Then it's tough to be able to remove teams from the conference...

krindorr

7/3/22 12:21pm

Exactly. Remember the origins of the MWC…

TrueBlue67

7/3/22 2:33pm

So here's a question (with lots of background, sorry...)

krindorr

7/3/22 2:57pm

I don’t like this option because the PAC members would try to keep us out

runningryan

7/3/22 11:35am

No chance.

CrimsonCardinal

Not as easy done as said.

The Big 12 does own the name of Big16

Nat Gas Man

7/3/22 11:47am

If you have 16 or 18 teams, only 12 of them are in the "Big" category. It

He is a pac homer and is very desperate. Not happening

Who has the tweet with the graph showing the analysis the b12 did to invite byu?

I've been reading various Big12 message boards and the general consensus has been

krindorr

Anyone who wants Utah more than ASU doesn’t know about TV markets.

7/3/22 2:20pm

I'd assume fan behavior probably puts extra weight on on-field performance

krindorr

7/3/22 2:25pm

Wouldn't that still just the Big12?

BYULAWGUY

7/3/22 12:38pm

Not Happening.

kahuna

7/3/22 2:24pm

I hope not, but there's certainly a precedent. WAC => MWC.

7/3/22 2:41pm

I'd argue that was more about kicking teams out of 1 conference than about combining parts of 2
