BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

This strikes me as the continuation of a process in which the wannabe powers end up devouring themselves. This is why the Super League folded so quickly in Europe, not the fan reaction. Some of the members suddenly realized, "what good is it to be the permanent sixth or seventh place team in ANY league?" Will Oklahoma get better defensive recruits, or will they just lose 3-4 games 53-38 instead of their annual playoff loss? My guess is the latter. In the Big 12, they're Oklahoma. In the SEC, they could be Baylor.

That is what happened, to a different degree, to BC. No one wants to go to Alumni Stadium in early November to see BC lose by 40 to Clemson or whomever.

 

Ex-A&M prez: 'Agreement' should nix expansion

 

As always the closed captioning is the best part.

 

If everyone ends up going to 16-team superconferences, it's the best move the SEC can do, because adding Notre Dame plus TBA will fall short of the OU-UT brands. They aren't waiting for them to end up with the Pac-12 or Big 10

 

it's been a while now and of course there were always some conflicting accounts, but the stories I always heard essentially were that the B1G offered ND probably 80 percent of what they wanted right off the top, then they kept on asking for more and more givebacks mainly on the Olympic sports, then at the last minute they retrenched and made some take it or leave it demands on football: mainly the right to keep their own tv deal as long as they wanted, special preferential treatment for bowl bids, etc etc and finally the
B1G just cried uncle.

 

Can you really call a 16-team conference made up of MAC, SunBelt and MWC also-rans a "superconference?"
And there YOU ARE....Eastern Michigan Chippewas!

 

The fact that there were only eight of the 10 schools on the call tells you everything you need to know right there.

 

$76 million is the rumored buyout to get out of the Big 12. That's probably what the SEC payout would be to each team with OU and Texas added to the mix.
