The simple explanation is that the SEC wants to improve it's non-con basketball scheduling (Slive even talked about it recently, I'm sure you missed it because it was basketball related). The ACC-BIG already have a "challenge" so it's pretty much the Big 12 left sitting at the bar for last call. And of course, the Big 12 wants to attach itself to the SEC as often as it can so we'll always put out. |

The money isn't in 'rivalry games', its in TV packages. If you were correct then schools wouldn't be leaving their rivalry games left & right, but they did. Besides only a few rivalries have nationwide TV appeal anyway.

PRISON BITCH AND SAUL GOOD..Could you please not turn this into another KU/MU pissing match!!!
I think this concept of playing other conferences for non-com is a great idea, it reminds me of the NFL...For example: The AFC WEST have games against another AFC Divisions AND also play a couple of games against an NFC Division, the following years it switches to other divisions. We could have the makings of something like that starting in the College ranks, SEC plays BIG12....Next year SEC plays PAC12, BIG12 plays BIG10..AND SO ON, AND SO ON. This would eleminate playing CREAM PUFFS for NON-COM games, the only people getting hurt would be the Smaller Conferences and Schools. MODS, if possible, could you please change the PREFIX so it doesn't reflect MIZZOU, just change it to BASKETBALL.

I suppose another way to look at it is that this brings us one (tiny) step closer to Slive's vision of a world without mid-majors. It will be interesting to see if he tries to put together an alliance with multiple conferences.
It would be cool if all of the major conferences did this with each other...maybe even x 2. Each major conference team would play two games against teams from each of the major conferences; one home game and one road game each season (not the same team for both games). That would make for some great games and would still only take up 8 non-conference games per season.

I know arguing with you is pointless, so I'll make it brief. The KU/MU rivalry is important to both schools. Regardless of what has been said, it's going to happen again and eventually, it will end up a yearly thing - at least in basketball. Although I'd love to see KU football take some huge steps and make football part of the equation as well. Might as well get used to the idea of it now. |

Each year it goes without being played, the less attached people are to it. In 5-10 years, our students that will be on campus will be old enough that they won't even remember it being played. |

So, in 5-10 years people won't even remember it? Are you sure you aren't talking about Nebraska? Colorado? |

We already went through this once. I believe the reasons for this are laid out in the re-alignment thread, so do a search on it and you'll find out what htey are. I believe you were already in on it though, so it might just be a project you can do solo.

Don't look now, but I too misinterpreted all of my initial posts. Whereas I thought I was saying that the groundwork was being laid for some rivalries to be renewed, I was actually starting a pissing match...which can only mean...we're back in agreement...how meta...
