yeah, you would be better off. Keeping some of that money and the additional connections would still benefit you.

B12 pays FSU/Clemson but BYU still makes more and gets better games? Deal.

It wreaks of small time. If we want to act like we are equal footing with P2

Medute

Jul 26, 7:49am

But we aren't on equal footing with the P2...

It’s not adding them. It’s renting them with an end to the lease in 5 years

Medute

What it's doing is killing the ACC and putting the Big 12 as the clear number 3

finnish_blue

Jul 26, 8:04am

You can kill the ACC by grabbing teams who will stick around

Medute

Jul 26, 8:10am

Here's why you consider the rental model. Utah "rented" Urban Meyer for 2 years,

Bingo!

I understand what you are saying, but…

It does elevate our status long term.

I know CB lives relationship analogies so here's one

Actually, there are lots of examples of this

ldssdl

So you actually think that the Big 12 chose the four corners over UO and UW?

CameronG

Jul 26, 12:23pm

No, renting the other schools wasn’t an option

Medute

Jul 26, 12:51pm

Your previous comment makes it sound like that's what the Big 12 did

The problem is nobody thinks we are even close to the p2

spidercoug

Jul 26, 7:57am

Rent them. Beat them. Make more $. Prove self. Nobody sees us as P2 anyway.

Dr MoBYU

Jul 26, 8:06am

We wouldn’t beat them. Just like the Big12 didn’t beat Oklahoma/Texas much.

Medute

Jul 26, 8:12am

Exactly. So who cares? I’d love to play those games. I’m not going to front.

Dr MoBYU

Jul 26, 8:14am

I care. We have a better path to the CFP right now. We should all care

Medute

Jul 26, 8:23am

Our chances of getting to CFP are the same with or without Clemson and FSU.

Dr MoBYU

Jul 26, 9:58am

No they are not. It’s two more teams with far more resources

Medute

Jul 26, 11:13am

Winning the B12 gets you a better seed.

Dr MoBYU

Jul 26, 1:06pm

That's rather delusional. We're not on the same footing as the P2.

Sounds like a short term outcome. Would you still do it if the Big 12 forfeits

Loafer

Enjoy the realignment train everyone!

runningryan

Jul 26, 9:23am

In Brett Yormark we trust. Whatever happens, I trust he'll elevate the Big12.

ldssdl

Jul 26, 9:35am

I’m not ready to trust him yet. I’ve been hurt before.

Medute

Jul 26, 9:53am

Can't say I blame you, when you're used to Larry Scott.

ldssdl

Jul 26, 9:56am

You also have to wonder if Yormark looked good because of his opponent

Medute

Jul 26, 11:15am

Giving a loan or paying off other's debts does not breed loyalty

downtownchrisbrown

Jul 26, 9:44am

When it comes to the P2, loyalty really doesn't matter

tacallaway

Jul 26, 10:21am

Hot take- P2 will never happen...too many good HS players come out of HS each yr

Das_Countach

Jul 26, 10:29am

I don't think the P2 ever breaks away either, but there's still a glass ceiling.

tacallaway

Jul 26, 10:36am

What are you watching?! It is well underway. Not if, but when.

CallSign

Jul 26, 10:43am

Too many good players to only consolidate across 40 schools w/ 22 starting spots

Das_Countach

Jul 26, 10:46am

That's like arguing there's more Protestant billionaires than LDS billionaires as evidence LDS people aren't successful

krindorr

Jul 26, 4:23pm

Not likely. It's more profitable for the P2 to keep paying us pennies.

tacallaway

Jul 26, 10:52am

B12 is shifting chairs at the kids table and might be shifting deck chairs on

CallSign

Jul 26, 11:40am

Right, there's a P2 and then there's the best of what's left.

tacallaway

Jul 26, 11:45am

…might be the case for someone that doesn’t think very deeply

Das_Countach

Jul 26, 1:53pm

Thinking the player pool will dictate number of power conferences and teams may

CallSign

Jul 26, 2:40pm

yeah, that's why Vanderbilt and Illinois and Indiana are such powerhouses, haha

Das_Countach

Jul 26, 4:13pm

We've got to be real, next big round of realignment happens ~2030-31 anyway

Das_Countach

Jul 26, 10:23am

Why in the world would FSU and Clemson leave the ACC for the Big XII?

Tango

Jul 26, 11:15am

Can’t we all just be a bit happy with what and who we’re with. Trading Wake,

Tango

Jul 26, 11:19am

Especially when it is about money. Maybe get a little more from the Big 12

TNT

Jul 26, 4:18pm

I'm very much in agreement .... IF this is what happens

krindorr

Jul 26, 5:15pm

Seems like a massive headache to break even

downtownchrisbrown

Jul 26, 5:22pm

Agreed, not worth the effort for break-even
