I'll take it that the Big 12 is looking to the TV networks in deciding what to do and Clemson simply doesn't add any value to their contracts. Why divide the money up more ways when you would get the same check? MU and A&M added no value either. If they did then why do we see an "increase" when it comes to payouts with the new Big 12 TV deal? You can't argue with numbers. But I liked watching CJ Spiller when he was at Clemson. I'll enjoy watching them play in the ACC. But as we saw in last year's Orange Bowl, Clemson has a long way before being able to compete with the Big 12 football teams. |

The SEC and the Big 12 have recently agreed on a bowl deal temporarily named the "Champions Bowl". This agreement was made after the additions of WVU and TCU (two high level BCS winning programs).
I can't say whether or not the same deal would have been made with the addition of FSU and Clemson. With FSU then no doubt it would have. Clemson I don't know....I just looked through their bowl performance over the couple decades and their isn't much to get excited about. I think Clemson fits in well with the current ACC teams. |

If you have one of these challenge things the KU-MU is by far the best arrangement. |

There's absolutely no question that Clemson would be far more desirable than TCU. Not even remotely close. |

The Big 12 really isn't interested in pushing forward one of these conference network setups similar to the B1G. The Big 12 wants to get the highest level of play on the field to boost their national appeal with big time games and high positions in bowls come post season. There's just no need to dilute the conference with a team like Clemson. If things blow up for the ACC then sure why not. But I have been thinking for months that the ACC isn't going anywhere. I still think it's going to be around forever in some form or another. Thus it takes someone REALLY wanting Clemson in order for them to leave. That's not happening with the Big 12. |

You guys can't even sell a fourth of your tickets to a neutral site game against your prime rivals... no thanks, good riddance. You chose your path.

Good thing to because many of us were scared shitless when hapless Turner Gill was beating you at halftime. Thank God that didn't end up staying true. I can't go another year with Gill and his circus. But if it never happens I'd be completely fine with it. Missouri chose to leave the conference and end the series. I'm just saying that if this completely dreamed up scenario that HH has made actually happened that the best economical setup would be to pit KU against MU. Doesn't matter much to me either way. |

Outside the Oklahoma schools, name one Big XII team Clemson couldn't stand up with.

So the Oklahoma schools and WVU.
Sounds like the rest of the Big XII. |
