They may feel this is one of their few chances to jump into a “Power 5” conference.
i guess they have a pretty large fan base, but not ND large.
glad we burned that bridge when we had the chance vs allowing the horsetraders @ tx and ou decide.
That conference has something special going. Yes they are a borderline power conference, but they have something the rest of the power conferences don’t have. That being they are all truly equal teams. Their is nobody holding up the rest of the conference. They either succeed or fail as a collective. No Ohio St, USC, Alabama, Clemson type to hold up a sinking ship (And making demands that benefit only them) I actually kinda wish Nebraska could get in on that action. Yes I know it’s a pipe dream. But it would be fun.
Actually I wouldn't put Alabama in that group. Give Texas a few years of getting their *** handed to them and they will be the ones demanding the SEC be "fixed".
Records from 2010-2020:
Central Florida: 94-46
Cincinnati: 88-50
BYU: 88-54
Houston: 83-53
texas: 78-60

Nailed it.
Remaining Big12 members are much better off with winners like UC, Cincy, BYU, and Houston over programs like OU and Texas.
BYU will make it tough for the rest of the league. Say goodbye to any games on Sunday. I know this doesn't effect football, but sure does other sports.
Agreed. Pac wants nothing to do with them and now pac will want even less to do with the big12. Games with BYU will have to be played so they can be home before midnight
Those teams could help the Big 12 continue as a league I suppose, but it doesn't do much for the old school geography nerds link me who like conference schools to neighbor each other. And saying West Virginia, BYU, Central Florida and Houston in the same sentence doesn't scream "Big 12" to me.
No, it should make it easier, since Iowa State likely won't be in a Power 5 conference after Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC.
That is a lot of average programs being added to a lot of other average programs.........might I suggest naming it the AFC for Average Football Conference?
Stop looking at names and start looking at results. Other than OSU, who isn’t average in the Big 10? Michigan has a big name, average results. Same with Texas. Nebraska has an average name and is below average. I know the truth hurts. All 4 of this teams would beat Nebraska right now.
And let’s not get into hoops... a final 4 team, along with Cincy. I think this will be better than people think.

PLUS I don't think that's a TV executive chop licking conference. And splitting the money by 2 more teams
The distance between these schools is so awkward. Good luck building a tradition with them. Modern CFB is so built around recruiting I think they should try to lock down Texas and add a bunch of schools in the south to stay relevant. Schools like Houston, SMU, UCF, USF, maybe Louisiana, Southern Alabama, etc.
BYU is a freaking cult anyways

Current TV contract is going to be extended to 2030. While details of the payout levels for joining members has not leaked out, the increase in revenue for them will be significant. Recruiting in OH, FL, and Tex, will be strengthened. By 2030, the Amazons, Googles, and Apples of the world will all most likely be looking for sports inventory for their streaming platforms, so we will see what happens. It will be nice to be in a conference where everyone is on equal footing. Getting rid of Texas will be a huge bonus.
SEC thought adding Texas was a plus, and you think getting rid of them is a plus, so I guess everybody won.
I’ve seen no confirmation that the Big 12’s current TV contract is being extended, is there a link or source for that? I can’t find it.
The only info I found was that their tv partners refused to negotiate an extension earlier this year, which is one of the factors that prompted OU and Texas to leave.

I was hoping Texas would leave when Neb left. Texas damages every conference they are a part of. All of the members of the B12 that voted for unequal revenue distributions will finally be gone. I suspect the conference will flourish.
Again, is there a link or source for your statement that “current tv contract is being extended to 2030”? Thanks in advance.
after 0u and tu join the sec, how many years till the sec champ game is at jerry's world and the sec offices in dallas?
