ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Why would you want that? Haven't you seen all of the assurances that staying in the Big XII and adding Haskell, Friends University, and Sedalia State Fair College is best for all schools involved?

I don't think the Big 12 is in position to bargain hard at the negotiation table right now for big new tier 1 and 2 deals.

Their massive Tier 2 deal with Fox says you are wrong.

If it came down to signing all the schools' rights off to the Big12, I'd rather KU stay than go to any conference with the exception of the Big10. I don't identify with the culture of the SEC fan and would not want my school associated with it. I love the PAC-12 schools, but the geography is shitty as hell.

On the brightside a Big 12 North adding Louisville and Cincinnati would mean Mizzou could pretty much pencil in a trip to Dallas each year for the Big 12 Championship. Not to mention with Pinkel's ties to Ohio, could open a pipeline to Mizzou by playing in Cincinnati every other year.

Adding schools to get back to 12 decreases each school's slice of the TV revenue, and I don't think the Big 12 is in position to bargain hard at the negotiation table right now for big new tier 1 and 2 deals.

Oh sure, it keeps the XII alive...for now.

But it's still just putting the conference on life dialysis rather than getting it a new kidney.

Adds more than Louisville, IMO.

I think they could do an okay job salvaging this if they went with TCU, Air Force and BYU, but they won't. They're dragging their feet and those schools are likely to get snapped up before the XII decides to expand back to 12.

Louisville is a sleeping giant and a program that makes alot of money in both football and basketball. They also have stadium plans to get their stadium up to 70k as well.
