OU, Texas to the SEC?
-
Ya I posted about 3 days ago that the Big 2 upper ups were talking about possibility of talking of a merger with the Pac 12
-
Ok this has gone from a wisp of smoke to a full brush fire in the last day+ (while I’m grading finals! A holes) and we’re gonna be fine. I expect at minimum KU announcing we’re not going to sign an extended GoR. At most we announce we’re headed to the B1G in 2025.
-
@FarmerJayhawk That’s good news, if true. I have heard scuttlebutt about a possible Big12/Pac alliance. That would be fine, as long as we are not part of it. Not onboard Pac12 or AAC.
-
I’m cool with a PAC-12 and B12 Merger. And KU being apart if it if that is what happens.
Just don’t want to be in the AAC or outside looking in somehow
-
@Marco I think we take the first power offer to come. Can’t risk getting left in the cold.

What a clown. Glad Senator Karen wants to talk to the manager at Disney instead of doing his actual job.

As much as I’d like to see an investigation because I don’t doubt ESPN has been tampering with the Big 12 behind the scenes since at least 2016 when they rejected the Big 12’s consideration to expand, that’s not the congress’s job to investigate. Maybe the FCC or SEC (not the athletic conference SEC) would have interest, but there’d have to be some serious evidence made public ahead of time to trigger an investigation.
-
CJ’s piece here is great https://theathletic.com/2752799/2021/08/04/whats-the-conference-affiliation-matter-with-kansas-jayhawks-bill-self-hope-hoops-brand-ensures-soft-landing/?source=user_shared_article
Money quote, “You’re going to find that Kansas and (Kentucky) are off the charts in viewers, and then there is everyone else.”
“He added that those are two programs whose numbers are actually competitive with college football.”
So why is this a big deal? The NCAA runs off the NCAA Tournament. Without it, they can’t make ends meet. We’re a key cog in a breakaway strategy. Also, what’s one of the fastest growing industries? Sports gambling. What’s one of the most gambled on sports events? The NCAA Tournament. Conferences will figure out how to monetize it. An alpha like Kansas basketball is very valuable.

Couldn’t agree more (though I do not think he has any idea of what a Senator SHOULD be doing based upon what he has done)!

Hope he gets dunked on when he runs for Governor. Ugh.

If I didn’t live in The Confederacy, I would chuckle nonstop at the idiots in other states’ governments. But one difference is that you guys get a mob following several nitwits who make the news because of new stupidities. Our mob and nitwits seldom make news. An occasional intelligent person is what makes news here.

As an adopted North Carolinian, I feel this SO HARD
-
Roger sent that letter to Merrick garland to investigate.
he’s a lil busy
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree.
-
@FarmerJayhawk boy that would be a pick-up the 10 landing Notre Dame too, wouldn’t it? Don’t think it’s going to happen, but not out of the realm of possibility.
-
I heard yesterday off a sports program Norte Dame won’t be joining the Big 10 - - They can’t. They will remain Independent. IF they don’t want to be Independent then they are obligated to the ACC this is the only league they could go to. They are already a partial member with the ACC in and compete I think they said in the ACC in 4 sports in the league , they have to joining the ACC if they are not Independent in Football.
Don’t shoot the messenger just saying what was said on the program.

@FarmerJayhawk not us?
-
Dan Wannstedt says: Ok St and K State to the PAC 12; West Virg to the ACC and Kansas and I State to Big 10. Good lord say it ain’t so.
-
@stoptheflop isn’t that what we want?
-
I’m still trying to get use to the new reality.
-

The Big 12 is dead. Long live the Big 12.
@stoptheflop if that comes to pass I will dance around, scream for joy, and throw a party
-
A contract wasn’t even signed in this alliance thing btw. Totally meaningless marketing ploy
-
I should have seen a Kansas game in Morgantown while i had the chance. They havent even been Big 12 for a decade.

let’s hope that turns out to be th case - - we need the Big 10

Saw where the conference is going to be formally reaching out to BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, perhaps as early as this football season wanting to expand the league to twelve teams.
That info was obviously leaked, which means that those four schools are more likely than not going to accept the invite. It probably also means, just reading between the lines, that OU and Texas have reached an as of yet to be announced buyout agreement with the Big12 on their bolting to the SEC probably after this season or latest after next.
