School in Eastern Washington so they need to jump on board? Get Wazzu and Zona and effectively kill the Pac. Then grab Oregon and Washington when the Big Ten declines to add them…

Gonzaga to the B12 might actually be a thing

I don’t love it. They’d be a better fit in the Big East.

Boo, not a fan of no-football conf members. Seems little league.

Mitty

11/16/22 10:03pm

I hate it. Let them join the Big East. They are not a geographical, sports or school fit with the conference.

I think there’s a reason this is all leaking just before the PAC-12’s TV numbers come out and right after ours came out.

I wonder if they’d consider adding football after joining the Big XII

Aren't we a non-football conf member in the WCC?

CharlottesvilleCoug

11/17/22 5:55am

Yes but the WCC doesn't sponsor football

CameronG

Gross. Such a dumb move.

BYUnerd

11/16/22 10:08pm

Dumb and I’m glad UT spanked them tonight.

pt crasher

11/16/22 10:09pm

No doubt they’re a top BBall program.

Vert der Frick

11/16/22 10:09pm

Yeah it's about the worst fit of sports program to conference you could invent.

Mitty

11/16/22 10:15pm

Im struggling to understand why anyone would be against this

boorad

11/16/22 10:14pm

It looks desperate and they’re tiny with no football.

DavisCoCoug

11/16/22 10:18pm

How does it look “desperate” to add the best basketball program in the country?

boorad

11/16/22 10:30pm

Duke is tiny. ND is tiny. Villanova is tiny.

Gentleman Stan

11/16/22 11:27pm

Agreed

Kdubb

11/16/22 10:19pm

Seriously. This sounds like a great idea. Why are people hating on it? Culture?

The best program of the last decade has zero titles?

garyfan

11/16/22 10:21pm

Yes

bluelands

11/16/22 10:24pm

That’s funny. The Gonzaga love on this board is bizarre.

garyfan

11/16/22 10:25pm

Alright

bluelands

11/16/22 10:33pm

This dodger fan likes where this is going.

Methusaleh22

11/16/22 11:03pm

Easily the most consistently great program over that time period

boorad

11/16/22 10:32pm

Let’s see. Over the last decade…

I doubt they would get big $ so they should not dilute the $

I am all for it.

It would basically cement the Big 12 as the premier basketball conference in

Polemic

11/16/22 10:26pm

Big 12 is already cemented as the best. They don’t need a basketball only school

BlooCoog

11/16/22 10:28pm

They are not viewed as the best by anyone in any other conference. Even though

boorad

11/16/22 10:33pm

I think it's consensus the Big 12 is the best, but that's fluid. No harm addin

“Fine as is” is how companies lose market share. Grow both when possible.

Who knows, y’all embarrassing is all I can say.

Bluedomination

11/16/22 10:27pm

Could be an effort to try and entice AZ. Basketball is a huge deal there.

TerpCoug

11/16/22 10:30pm

AZ AND Gonzaga would make B12 to basketball what SEC is to football

Gonzaga matchups in the BIG12 will dwarf their current exposure on tv. I like

We still need 4th time zone in BBall.

They're a bigger national bball brand than BYU by quite a bit.

SinkingQuffa

11/16/22 11:02pm

Take away their winning history? Lol. Take away BYU footballs winning history

bigbossbyu

11/17/22 7:15am

Best program in the past decade?

d-coug

11/16/22 10:48pm

I’d say it goes to Villanova. Both have been to the final four 3 times, but

Do they continue the dominance when Few leaves?

TNT doesn't get why so many on this board want it. That type of move

TNT

11/17/22 12:09am

It’s 2022, not 2002 or 1992. TV numbers and digital reach matter. Plus brand

Desertcoug85

11/17/22 8:13am

Not for a non-football school

TNT

11/17/22 11:23am

Gonzaga is a big money maker. Conferences already have schools without certain

11/20/22 2:04am

Yormark is going too far. This would be a dumb move. Olympic sports travel is

rainorsnow

11/17/22 12:33am

Amen. It just doesn't make enough sense

TNT

11/17/22 1:27am

Losing Texas and Oklahoma hurts both sports, adding Gonzaga helps MBB revenue

Mabuhay Coug

11/17/22 2:03am

We need eyeballs on our CFB games. Everything should be done to prepare for TV

MBB isn't football I get it but Spokane isn't the only place in the US that has

CameronG

11/17/22 9:35am

I think it makes sense as a part of a broader western division only.

fbguru

11/17/22 5:18am

Crazy. Spokane is way too much of an outlier for the BIG12

GerryWorld

11/17/22 8:21am

4th time zone. Gonzaga in the 4th time zone gets the premier billing against another B12 team.

11/17/22 8:40am

Midnight? It would be 10 PM ET

CameronG

11/17/22 9:37am

You are right. Man, I need to drink some caffeine this morning.

GerryWorld

11/17/22 10:20am

It happens to all of us

CameronG

Best conference in basketball would get even better. Yes!

Maybe Brett is trolling the PAC on this

I think some sort of MBB scheduling agreement makes some sense.
