Yeah that was monstrously painful.

forking joke of a column.

But he knows... he covered Big 12 football for two WHOLE seasons...

I hope you're not serious with that thought. If Southern Utah can stay in The Summit League, you can't possibly think Michigan State would get dumped from the Big Ten.

What the Summit League does has nothing to do the Big Ten.

Michigan State

a) brings no incremental TV sets to the viewership footprint they don't already have with Michigan;

b) sub-mediocre in football, probably will be in basketball assuming Izzo bolts;

c) academically the bottom drawer of the conference

If Michigan State was applying to JOIN the Big Ten, they wouldn't get a second sniff. They'd be a better fit in the Big East or C-USA.

If the Mountain West + Boise were to pluck the leftovers off the bone of the Big 12 - Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri -- to get to 14 teams, would that make that conference a legitimate candidate for a BCS berth?

 

[MileHigh]

Yes, but I think when it's all done with, Kansas will be in the Pac-10.

Given my complete ignorance on the subject, could the rump of the Big XII (KU, K-State, Mizzou, Iowa State, Baylor) pick up the likes of SMU, Rice and Houston? The first few years would be rough, but after a decade, would it be that much worse than the rest of the Big East is in football now?

The chaos won't stop just after this dance. Once the new and old members of each superconference start fighting, we could have realignment every year.

Without a waiver from the NCAA, you would need a sixth current BCS member to remain or join in order for the rump B12 to keep its BCS status.

Those of us who are college football and basketball fans would love a cable system that had a Big 10 Network, a Pac-10+ Network, a SEC Network and so on...

Between the networks and ESPN sometimes the choices are pretty limited.

Limited? I get like 8 million games a week, plus the replays and tape-delays on Fox College Sports. If I literally had nothing else to do with my life, there would not be enough hours in a day to watch them all.

Jesus that is bad on so many levels.

Missouri is getting what it deserves. If there was an invite, it should have jumped the way Colorado did. If the Tigers were waiting for Nebraska to move first and now the Big 10 is no longer interested, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Maybe they get lucky and wind up in the Pac-10 if one of the Texas or Oklahoma schools go elsewhere or maybe they get snatched up by the Big 10 later, but if they wind up in the MWC, it's epic fail on their part.

How exactly is it their fault? No conferences have given Missouri an invitation yet, so they have no choice but to stay in the Big 12 for now. I think they want to go to the Big Ten, but they can't if there's no offer.
