Much longer ago than that ad the issue goes way back. The Irish have long memories
Texas and Zero U. to the SEC?

Clearly the Big 12 midgets are going to be the big losers in any new Texas deal. And Oklahoma needs to hang on tightly to Texas coat tails to be able to go along with them where ever that might be.
Idk if you saw ok st's response, but it sure doesn't sound like they're joined at the hip like so many of you say. Read like a girl that got broke up with who's bragging about how they don't need man because it's hot girl summer.
Also let's not forget that their biggest political donor has been dead for 2 years now
Saw this
I heard this rumor on the way home from a work trip, would not be surprised if this story has some legs.
If B1G goes to 16, I would go after Notre Dame (1), Virginia (2), Missouri (3), Kansas (4), and Iowa State (5), in that order. Virginia would be a good eastern add, Notre Dame could be east or west (depending if Virginia comes), and the other schools are definitely west. If we get west only teams, then Purdue or Northwestern go to the B1G East.
If B1G goes to 20, I would go after the same schools plus North Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina State. We should pick 3 schools from the west (KU, MU, & ND or ISU) and 3 from the east (UVA, UNC, & Duke or GT).
Let the realignment insanity begin.
I'm going to assume you live in Iowa, I live in PAC 12 country....trust me, Iowa State isnt even in the top tier of Big XII castoffs that the PAC 12 would consider.
As far as the PAC 12 goes, they arent interested in expanding but if they are forced to, ISU isnt even in the conversation remotely.
P12 is well aware that we have a strong academic profile, and a good athletic profile currently.
You assume wrong as I don’t live in Iowa. ISU’s academic profile fits just fine in the P12, but ISU is not a cultural fit in the P12 and doesn’t want to be
PAC 12 would rather take San Diego State or Fresno State before ISU....and they dont want SDSU nor Fresno. But keep believing...best option is to call Mountain West or Sun Belt commissioners...
The PAC 12 wouldn’t be interested in Iowa State even if Iowa boarded California. As someone mentioned above, Iowa State is small potatoes in conference realignment.
P12 is a mess currently, and we would take a big hit on revenue. .Scott ran the conference into the ground and we are just not interested
Well with that last statement, you have entered troll status, so Ill just say good luck and see you in Ruston, Louisiana.
Makes a lot of sense to me.
College football has changed, and that south eastern footprint is all that matters anymore.
Many of those smaller div schools are also now more attractive than most power 5 schools up north or out west.
Nebraska is crawling deep into the football coffin with it's reaffirmed love for B1G grant money and liberal leadership.
Texas and OU will get added I think, and nobody is going to care about the big ten or pac 10 or big 12.. i mean why would they?

Or texass gets blocked and goes independent.
Kansas and Oklahoma to the BiG TeN
Houston, Cincinnati and UCF to the big 12.

So far, these seem to be the universal truths...
- Texas and OU are a package deal
- Iowa State won't be anywhere near the PAC12

maybe a viable progression for sec, is to say, ‘we’ve got most of the current blue bloods anyways (sans nd, osu, mich, usc, fsu, miami and N), whatever we crown is nc…?!
otherwise, going to 16 or more is diminishing returns.
i would tell b1g to stand pat.
the bigger they get the better it is for ncaa, naybe not individual schools.

You are one funny kid sparky. A couple things that you may not be aware of is TX & OU love to stir things up. Texas is for personal gain only and OU does what they are told. They both have issues in their states with other state institutions since they are both beholden to the state. And I agree with ISU being nowhere near the the train wreck called the P12. AZ @ ASU we’re exploring options not too long ago but the B12 wasn’t biting.
Yeah, some people think OU and OSU have to be in the same conference by some statute in the state of Oklahoma or something, but that does not appear to be true at all.
Good point wrt Iowa possibly blocking ISU joining the Big 10, like it sounds Texas A&M has stated it prefers to do re: UT to the SEC.
Ok so I was wrong, you dont live in Iowa, but I know of another place you dont live in and thats reality.
My wife is an UofA alum and we lived in Tucson for a long time, we still follow Wildcat athletics....if you are somehow insinuating that both UofA and asu entertained any thoughts of leaving the realtive stability and safety of the Pac12 for the sunny green pastures of the poster child for conference instability the Big XII??? I'm sure those schools would happily leave their traditional conference recruiting grounds and culture to be in the Texas fifedom group, especially swapping those Bay Area and LA road trips for the urban utopias of Ames, Manhattan and Stillwater lol...hoo boy, not sure where you are getting your information but doesnt appear to have anything in common with the truth.
OU and Texas are both too polished to let a story like this leak with an outcome that makes them look bad. IMO, either they know they have the SEC votes and are ready to jump ship, or they know they don't have the votes and will spin it into a big smokescreen to gain yet more power in the B12 or curry favor with a different conference all together.
Nope. OU and Texas would be in the west. That would make 9. Someone is moving to the East. Logically it would make sense to move Missouri to the west’s NDA Alabama and Auburn to the East.
texas won't go to the sec....
sounds like someone is watching planes fly around again
I would be ok with ku, okie state and ut joining the big 10....
that would be a lil pipe line to open up texas recruiting again...
I'd add 0u instead of 0u light...but that would probably mean we would never see a big 10 champ game..lol

Ha Ha!!
It would be a very quick call. Mizzou loves the SEC.
Some other things to know.
-Mizzou will vote to add UT and OU.
-This is done. Announcement soon.
-SEC will have four 4-team Divisions.
-ACC, Big 10 and PAC will get to 16.
-Dark days ahead for KSU and ISU.
-NCAA as we know it is done.
Why would Notre Dame want to be in the B1G when the ACC has treated them very generously over the past years?
That's one I have asked myself as well. As much as fans want to think we are sought after blue bloods, I wonder....... as Clint once said "we are legends in our own minds."
Can schools like Missouri or A &M be kicked out of the SEC to make room for somebody else? Seems like some are suggesting it. Sounds ludricious to me but what do I know.
There is nobody in hot pursuit of Iowa State at this time. I know for a fact NU brass have long wanted KU in the B1G
There is no reason to add a small market program to the Big Ten, especially where there is already a foot print. Kansas yes Iowa St no.
That's if OU was with them. It's not happening so Kansas will be left out. The Big Ten will go nab the large academic and research schools out west.
If you put Washington, Oregon, UCLA, Colorado and USCw as options in front of the Big Ten school presidents, they would simply say "we already voted them into the conference yesterday." They would droll over themselves to admit those academic and research powers into the conference.
