I personally hate the idea of naming a champion that hasn't played everyone in the conference and have always opposed conference championship games. That said, I think we should play the same game that the BCS conferences are: change the rules to...

Worst case is the Big 12 breaks up, and A&M goes to the SEC, seeing Utah to teh PAC10. Utah will get beat often, which will be nice, but they will also make about $20M a year more with the deal, and I do not want to see them get that coin.

Plus,...

I prefer BYU to Big 12/new conference with Kansas and MO over those two coming to the MWC. The MWC's major problem (for BCS AQ) is the dead weights at the bottom of the conference. Adding teams does nothing to get rid of the dead weight.

Colorado...

This falls under the category of And? We have some great receivers to throw to, and Apo will make him look like a JV WR. I for one am not worried about our WR's. He would have been a great addition to the group, but he wouldn't have raised the level...

The next 48 - 72 hrs. will be really interesting. Oh to be a fly on the wall in these regents meetings!!! Drama - drama!!!!!
:crazy:

My outlook for Washington (no offense, I like your squad):

Sept. 4 at BYU - Loss
Sept. 11 SYRACUSE - Win
Sept. 18 NEBRASKA - Loss
Oct. 2 at USC - Loss
Oct. 9 ARIZONA STATE - Win
Oct. 16 OREGON STATE - Loss
Oct. 23 at Arizona - Loss
Oct. 30...

In today's news (as well as the past couple days), Dan Beebe's latest sales pitch to Texas et al is that the Big 12 can survive or even thrive with just ten schools (i.e., dump the NE/CO whiners, split the money fewer ways). No mention of possible...

I would assume that Kaveinga still has to sit out a year due to the fact that he transferred before all of this took place?

Not only that, but doesn't the Big XII rely on their Championship game???

A lot of their revenue comes from that game. They can't have a Championship game with 10 schools. They need 12.

As my friend Mr. Krabs would say Money money money money money money...

Why invite only three more schools? Because there are only three good ones that will be up for grabs: BSU (done deal), Kansas, and Mizzou. Plus it makes a nice, 12-team conference.

The news about inviting 3 more schools was after the MWC invited...

This would be my set:
East: Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, TCU, SMU, Houston (FB)/Memphis (BB)
West: BYU, Utah, Boise State, Air Force, UNLV, Nevada/Colorado State (I can't decide)

I don't know if I like having BYU, Utah, and Boise St. in one...

At the press conference after these meetings. The media asked Craig Thompson why there wasn't an invite to Boise(at that time). He responded that if the Big XII falters, then Kansas, K-State, Mizzou will need homes too . Which tells me his mindset...

Texas wants the PAC, and the coaches and Pres also want the PAC. A&M trustees, such as Gene Stallings--former FB coach at Alabama--are leading the SEC charge. Everyone else wants the affiliation with PAC10 schools and the Rose Bowl tie in. I think...

I had to choke down my bile and vote yes. Of course, with the shifting landscape of college football, the MWC had to move forward someway and not stand pat. BSU currently is the best nonAQ football team not already in the MWC.

So I keep seeing this online: NCAA rules state that a conference must have at least six teams with five years of playing experience together, so the remaining five big twelve teams would likely have to separate to find homes.

Is there any reason...

Harvey will be back next year, as in Harvey Langi.

night is day, day is night, good is evil and evil is good, cats and dogs living together, it'll be mass hysteria.

Sounds like the political back-biting you would expect to see in small, rural, isolated towns ... and in the Texas State Legislature.

You mean like OK who has lost to now three MWC teams while being ranked in the top 7? :)

Ouch!!! Ha-ha-ha!!! Truth hurts. I think the PAC-10 knew they were a sinking ship w/ the NCAA sanctions against USC. The Trojans were their flagship program....

Nice. I'm a big fan of scooping up KU and K-State. That makes a very good 12-team football conference and an excellent 12-team basketball conference.

Humanitarian Bowl executive director Kevin McDonald isn't sure what will happen with his game. He expects major changes to bowl agreements — most of which were just signed — as conference realignment plays out.

The NCAA has determined a maximum...
