down the road

The big 12 has added castoffs, also rans and G5's... the mediocrity factor has done nothing but grow... the parity in this new league will make it difficult for more than the champion and the runner up to stand out..

I don't know, the Big 12's mission through this round after OT/TX left was just live to fight another day, which they did, and they then outlived the Pac12 and got some teams that improve the league (relative to the middle and bottom of their conference). Both of those seemed pretty dang unlikely a year ago. They have to view this as a huge success. Their guy would eat the ACC's lunch if the ACC didn't have the long grant of rights.

There’s no way the networks want to consolidate the sport to 60. Try 36.

That'll be interesting since there's no way to get there without kicking some schools out of the Big 10 and SEC. Now that'll be real drama.

Would they kick them out... or just move and forget to leave a forwarding address?...

Imagine Vandy's surprise when they wake up alone in the campground with $20 and the Big 12's phone number in their pocket..

What a trip... SMU to ACC?!?!

Sources: ACC considering SMU in addition to Cal and Stanford in expansion talks

At a meeting of league presidents on Tuesday, executives explored the possibility of adding Cal, Stanford and SMU, or only inviting the two Pac-12 members.
