>>68031173
well yeah, the PAC cares about academics too, but by that standard there really isn't any good realistic options left within the region that they can get. so it was just something fun to think about, cause I had never heard much about colorado rivalries outside of the Big XII.
>>68031240
I had heard that about Air Force too, which is a bit of a buzzkiller, but things could still change 20 years from now. Same with BYU. Hell, it might be even sooner depending on how the financial landscape of college football changes, because if huge dominoes start falling in major realignment, then some schools will tend to consider options that they normally wouldn't when things are more stable. from what I heard before, the other californian schools were willing to negotiate and strike out some sort of deal with BYU, it was only berkeley that was taking the hardline stance based on "muh principles". That could change if the money starts talking, expansion is needed before they get left behind, and options are scarce and dwindling.
not that that's the case now, but the future is always uncertain.
>>68031385
Here's a list of all the realistic expansion targets for the PAC:
Thank you for your time.
The Pac-12 needs to add a school in Nevada, it's map bugs me almost as much as having WVU in the Big XII. Maybe add teams from Idaho and New Mexico too.
>>68031471
This, pretty much. The only way the Pac-12 expands now is if they get the Texas and Oklahoma schools and jump to 16. It could definitely happen, but I don't see it as terribly likely.
>>68031567

>>68031583
if they wanted to get OU, would they really have to take Diet Oke too? I've been hearing conflicting things from people about that situation and it all sounds like hearsay and personal interpretation. I roughly know a bit of the legal situation more or less and it doesn't sound binding, but I wonder if they could still put a stop to any deal regardless, if that deal involved OU being able to jump to another P5 and OSU got booted down to some shittier one cause nobody wanted them. I hear it's not a carbon copy of the situation with the kansas schools, either.
>>68031385
>I had never heard much about colorado rivalries outside of the Big XII.
That's because there weren't really rivalries outside the Big 8/12. Nebraska was always the big rival. Before joining the Pac in 2011 Utah and Colorado hadn't played each other since like the 1960s. There's also Colorado State, but that's only been an annual game for ~20 years and the series is supposed to end (as an annual game, anyway) in a few years. It's a lot bigger now than when I was a kid, but in the Big 8 days CU saw that one in terms of importance kind of like how Oklahoma saw Oklahoma State back when Nebraska and Texas were both annual games. Basically, they're rivals and it's the big game for the little brother school, but the larger/more successful school saw it as something of an afterthought compared to their "big" rivalries.

>>68031680
No the state legislature would force them to accept OK St. as a part of the deal.
The same goes for Texas tech and Texas.
It's the reason why they tried to move all 4 into the PAC years ago.
If you want Oklahoma or Texas you take Tech or OK St too. The state governments aren't letting their schools get demolished when its already been proven OU and presumably Texas can get into the CFP with a shit big 12.
>>68031740
Jaycock?
>>68031680
They're not tied at the hip through the legislature or anything like that, although the state would probably be pissed if they split up under circumstances other than necessity (i.e. it's apparent the Big 12 isn't long for this world and Oklahoma has a life raft that Okie Lite doesn't). They also kind of have a mentality of they have each other's backs. They're both state-funded schools, but they're entirely different systems and completely independent of each other, so their sticking together isn't mandated by anyone or anything, it's more of a gentlemens' agreement than any firm requirement.
>>68031781
>tfw this year is the year
>>68031217
>implying rich people use condoms
Uppity Spoiled Children or University of Spoiled Children is the preferred nomenclature.
>>68031764
I heard it was the other way around with texas, the PAC was more than willing to take texas and let them KEEP the LHN too, so long as they turned it into one of their PAC Regional Networks and shared its coverage and revenue equally with its local partner like the other PAC schools did, in this case Tech. that was apparently the deal killer for UT though because they weren't willing to share with anybody.
as far as the oklahoma schools go, I had looked up some stuff from their beat writers trying to explain the exact legal situation involved, it was a while back but it sounded far less legally binding than people make it sound. apparently there's like this administration or something separate from the board of regents, made up of guys who happen to be officials from both schools, but it has no power to impose anything on anyone. it sounded very weird and confusing, and all I could take from it is that saying that OU and OSU are a package deal is a combination of wishful thinking and trying to create leverage for OSU should any deal be on the table.
however, if it means the big xii will sink either way and there's an offer for OU to get out but not OSU, supposedly they'd let it go through. so it all depends on the stakes, apparently.
>supposing the Big 12 do this or that
The last major conference with this much fuckery was the old Big East, they finally had to collapse, clean house, and re-brand themselves. If the Big 12 doesn't get their shit together (or get a team into the playoff this season), they absolutely need to get their house in order.
But they are fuckstupid, the conference could literally die at any time, UT won't leave cuz it lies having its bitches, but that means zero of the other teams have a reason to stay. There are better TV deals in literally any other P5 conference.
This is a conference run by morons, in a state governed by morons.

Same with New Mexico.

>>68034111

Nevada and NM's most relevant teams are less relevant than LaTech. Throw in Montana, Wyoming, and both Dakotas too. (FCS is always less relevant than FBS.)
>>68034126

>>68033052

That's the opposite of what people felt when they left.
>>68031927
Texas wanted its own network, the deal is those 4 for a reason. No one wants to piss off people to the point of possibly losing funding or flagship status.
Texas is super faggot about the LHN though, and will require it anywhere they go.
Even if da 12s sink, OU and Ok st will stay together, same with Texas and Tech. Unless Texas decides to make itself a private school and go independent.

MAYBE the PAC or ACC (wouldn't join them anyway), but definitely not the B1G or SEC.
>>68034602
Theres no reason for them to leave.
As long as they beat notre dame and win the conference they will get into the CFP.
Why would they want to be in a conference that makes it harder to get into the playoffs?
All the big 12 being shit does is fuck over teams not named UT Austin or UT Norman.

what would be the next move for the Big XII then, though? if they can keep the ESPN money for now and bring in a chump for filler, how much longer will they be able to last? if some legal shit happens and their TV deal is dead with UT's exit, then what?
>>68034870
>implying anyone knows shit about it
>>68034907
Depends on what UT Norman does.
Most likely Houston and some other teams get picked up by another conference.
But Texas wont leave because that would be fucking stupid.
>>68034907
The only big loss is OU at that point. other mediocre teams would fuck off to G5, TCU could go back to the MW(?), Baylor loses football altogether, Tech also MW. OU and OK state tho could go PAC i guess
>>68034902
>He thinks there was a team better than the 1899 Sewanee Tigers
>>68034965
Texas won't leave. They relish the power they have in the XII too much to go independent.
They need Nebraska back imo. The Big XII is missing some sick flyover bantz. Oh and add Houston.
>>68034965
well they wouldn't want to leave if things remain as they are now, they got the comfy end of the deal. things could change soon though, especially if OU gets sick of their shit.
>Big XII collapses and every team except Texas leaves

hyperbole of course, but they seem super stubborn, stupid, and greedy.
>>68035119
>Baylor loses football altogether
stopped reading there, though I should have stopped sooner.
>>68035119
I don't think the PAC would have nearly as much interest in an OU deal that has no UT and also forces them to take OSU. they might do it if they could get texas, or just an oklahoma solo deal though.
>>68035221

How much pull does basketball have in realignment compared to football? Like maybe 1/10th? If basketball mattered much any conference would kill to have kansas, and forget that k-state even exists. Kansas is more well known in every sport now.
>>68035536
What?
>>68035491
Not really. K-State's wizard coach and their 90s run, along with their 2003 and 2012 runs keep them pretty relevant. Doubt they will be that good again before Snyder leaves though.
KU had 2007, a year which they didn't even deserve to be in a BCS bowl. They also don't have a single conference championship post-1970.
Will never happen: the scenario, but can anyone imagine how fucking amazing it would be if just Texas and Oklahoma went to the SEC? Okie State and TTU can fuck off, it'd be the best damn conference since the SoCon actually mattered.

Most of us realize we will never be 90s good ever again. That was a special time that cannot repeat unless huge changes happens to the CFB landscape, which none of us see happening.
However, as a historically good program with rich tradition, the right hire can make us a decent team again. We hated Pelini because he did not progress Nebraska at all. The blowouts, the shitty recruiting, the horrible game plans, we had enough. All Nebraska needs is the right hire and they can become a team that regularly ends with 10-11 wins, with an occasional conference title. That's all we want.
With Bo's shitty recruits and gameplans, we ended with 4 losses every year. That should tell you that a coaching upgrade could bring us to a higher level.
>>68036136

>Brandon Peters (objectively and statistically the best QB in the 2016 recruiting class, it isn't even debatable)
he has like a 1% chance of getting meaningful minutes this year. it's between speight and o'korn, and honestly the qb position is the biggest question mark for this team. peters should be great in the future though.
>Ty Isaac (best RB in the game who will be 100% healthy, unlike the entirety of last year. he will put up 1200+YDs/10+TDs/5.0YPC)
he played himself out of the RB rotation last year. due to fumbles, not an injury. Smith is likely going to get the most carries. hopefully isaac can get it together though... seems a bit soft tbqh
>Sean McKeon (literally a Jake Butt-clone)
class of 2016 3* ...not going to do anything this year.
>Kareem Walker (one of the fastest and most explosive players in football)
great prospect but true frosh that will get minimal carries. honestly if he gets a lot of touches that's probably bad news.
why didn't you mention rashan gary, the #1 recruit in the country, or Jehu Chesson, who is arguably the top WR?
playoffs are a possibility, but MSU and OSU game are both away this year. honestly OSU is probably going back to the playoffs this year. but who knows, harbaugh made huge strides pretty much every single year when he was coaching college football previously. I'm excited to see the new defense. should be exciting.
in the end if we lose to MSU and OSU again, the season is a failure. I don't care if we win every other game and a bowl game. gotta get a rivalry game this year. 0-4 start for harbaugh would be bad.

You don't expect success, you work hard for it and hope it happens, and revel in it when it does. But you don't demand it and throw a fit when it doesn't happen. That's manchild behavior.

As a fan who invests their money into tickets and merchandise, yes you do expect success. Hw the fuck is a fan supposed to work hard to make the team succeed? Protip: you fucking can't. With that logic, Texas shouldn't expect to be good again because that's "manchild behavior"
Are you fucking retarded? Let's look at some of Bo's signature losses:
2009: Iowa State (WTF)
2010: Texas, Texas A&M, Washington
2011: Wisconsin (Blowout), Michigan (Blowout), South Carolina (Blowout)
2012: Ohio State (Blowout), Wisconsin (MAJOR Blowout)
2013: Minnesota (WTF), UCLA (Blowout), Michigan State (Blowout), Iowa (Blowout)
2014: Wisconsin (Blowout)
Do you think any other blue blood program would stand for this? Maybe 4 losses is something your shitty team would tolerate, but think of USC, Tennessee, and Texas? Should they tolerate 4 shitty losses and a terrible record against ranked opponents? No, they shouldn't. They are premier programs, and Nebraska is factually one too.
Again, you have no argument.

You've actually internalized the delusion so far that you've resolved your cognitive dissonance by attempting to justify it with reason.

>>68036430
I really feel that WVU would benefit more as a B1G school, the geographical factor alone make more sense. I u sets tabs though that with the college football landscape today, that doesn't matter. You're most likely right, but OU might try for the EEC first.

Based on a completely arbitrary line you have drawn? Because, again, the huskers are 4th in total wins, have 5 nattys. and are #1 in conference championships. How do you determine who is blue blood and who is not? I go by teams that are top ten in wins that boast at least 2 national titles. They are:
Michigan
Notre Dame
Texas
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Alabama
Tennessee
Ohio State
Penn State
USC
To claim Nebraska is not a blue blood is absolute lunacy.
>>68035828
I honestly can't think of anything worse than being a Huskers fan right now. Your history tricks you into high expectations yet you have no reason to expect anything better than South Carolina.
>>68036809
There is nothing left to say here. I enjoy a steady debate, and I would fully concede if you can fully prove we do not deserve success. I never thought using logic and reason would be frowned upon, but whatever.
>>68036792
Washington, UCLA, TAMU, MissSt., Arkansas, Utah, BYU, etc aren't making a ship. UCLA and TAMU could maybe come close as far as recruiting but their chances are realistically about as good as Iowa or Gtech. OU wouldn't join the PAC or SEC anyway. They'd go B1G and be reunited with Nebraska.

>>68036515
I know you need western teams but ECU would be a better choice than Louisiana Tech
>>68036879
You could have said that to Oklahoma in the 90s, and Alabama in the 00s, and USC in the 90s as well. All it takes is a good hire and Nebraska can win conference championships again.
I am NOT expecting to be competing with the likes of Alabama or Ohio State every year. I would be satisfied with a conference title once every 5 years or so.
>>68036918
What the fuck are you on about?
Michigan last won a shared title in 97, Tennessee won it in 1999.
USC will win a natty this season.
When it gets to 16-team superconferences, shouldn't they just be split up again into conferences that are their old divisions? Then the old conference championship game becomes something like a dedicated extra bowl game with the other old division. If we got that, you'd actually be able to schedule your entire conference again. If they could just make it so that every conference had a cap at 8 and only the champions of the top 8 conferences each year qualify for the 8 team playoff, it'd be perfect.
You could re-sort the rankings of which conferences are considered top 8 every year, and it would take top-to-bottom conference strength and all OOC games into account, not just the heavyweight teams and big games. That way they'd be less able to pad their schedule or conference members with chumps. If they're a top 8 conference anyways, they can afford to travel across the country, so you don't need forced regional-only membership and can just put together a conference of worthy teams.
>>68036981
exactly, they each have 1 since the 50s
1[ONE] chip is absolutely not blueblood
>>68036861
I go 2 Natties after WWII, and at least a .700 win %. That leaves 7.

Penn St. and Nebraska are coach babbies who will probably never be perennial contenders again. Tennessee has a shot if they can ever beat Florida and Bama.
>>68036374
>Chizik
why man
we went to the natty with his players the very next year, which variable do you think had us 3-9?
>>68036918
I see the argument for excluding Tennessee, as well as Penn State, but Michigan has fielded some decent teams over the years and are #1 in total wins. Michigan has had down years, but they are consistantly good.
Plus, the reason they did not get as many championships has a lot to do with the old Big 10's agreement with the Rose Bowl.
>>68036956
You have to compete with Ohio State every year, man. That's why the Huskers were brought in. To be another high mark program to challenge Ohio State.
>>68036993
they won't even win their division

>>68036993

>>68037023
Well by that list, Nebraska should still be on it. Just because you don't think they'll be good again doesn't remove them from that list, because that perspective is entirely subjective.
>>68037015
Agreed about UT but Michigan is a blueblood. Ships before the BCS aren't all that important.
Georgia will be unstoppable this season, we'll be the Bama of the east thanks to Kirby "I'm very" Smart. Go ahead and hand us the trophy now! Go Dawgs!!!
>>68032116
This.
"UT makes the most money, so they deserve the biggest slice of pie!"
Then the other members fucking starve to death, and there's no one to make you pie.
Buncha GOP motherfuckers. The other four conferences are socialist as fuck and thriving. Die in a fire, good ol' boys.
>>68037015
You realize the idea of the blue blood teams aren't decided by what happened after 1950, right? These are programs that existed in the 1910s. So just by success and length alone l, they are blue blood keystone programs.
>>68037042
And I expect to challenge Ohio State every so often, but I do not expect us to compete to their level every year. Ohio State just has too much that we don't.
>>68036861

>>68037094
The BCS championships are not relevant anymore either, then. Only the CFP championships matter.
Any definition of blue blood that doesn't include Michigan and Notre Dame should be laughed out of existence.
>>68037080
Nebraska and Tennessee are what I consider to be the best of the rest. It's just hard with Nebraska because almost all of their success came under one coach.
>>68037067
that may not be far off, iirc they have one of the better water polo teams right now in both men and women's. I think they were also good in men's golf and women's tennis, or maybe the other way around.
If YOU could magically bestow a Top 5 football program on ANY university in the United States, who would it be?

>>68032923
>MWC would rather pick up UTEP
Citation needed.
CUSA only picked up UTEP in '05 because their facilities were marginally better than other candidates. UNT (and UTSA, which didn't even have football at the time) have closed that gap and surpassed it.
Choosing between UTEP and NMSU at this point is like choosing between one girl with syphilis and another with herpes.
Any definition of blue blood that doesn't include Princeton and Yale should be laughed out of existence.
>>68037123
Please explain why a conference title drought should effectively render Nebraska incapable of competing again.
By that logic, Michigan State, TCU, Baylor, and Oregon should not be competitive.
