BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

Not saying it is right but it is one of the huge elephants in the room for the Pac-10.

There is that. Research-based universities also tend to frown on schools that preach creation "science." And every sport in the Pac-10 plays on Sunday, even football on Labor Day weekend.

BYU is a scheduling nightmare. Not playing on Sunday is a competitive advantage, as is having teams on which 95 percent of the kids have gone on missions and are thus 23, 24 and 25 years old as juniors/seniors.

I'm a traditionalist, but I could easily live with a Pac-16 and see Texas and Oklahoma coming to Microville once every 8 years in football and far more frequently in the Olympic sports.

I would guess that K-State is a millstone around KU's neck when it comes to conference realignment. I can't see the state lege letting KU leave the KSU behind.

Don't forget your power towel, KU.

Kansas' new cheer: "Rock Chalk We're forked"

Even if conference-geddon doesn't happen, it sure has been fascinating as heck to read/speculate what might happen.

I am shocked no one wants the team from High Land.

Actually this guy gets into some of the reasons Notre Dame is not exactly looked upon as a great get for the Big Ten's academic arm, the CIC: Religious interference with research activities.

I think the Kansas lawmakers should keep an open mind about the possibility of KU going to the Big East and Kansas State to the MWC. The two schools quite obviously would continue to play each other in non-con. That's something the legislature can mandate, for that matter. Those conferences, respectively, would be best for both schools.

The Mountain West Conference should change its name to the Justice League of America or something suitably non-regional, like about Monday morning.

Just a thought as all of this rattles around my brain.
Pac-10 doesn't want BYU, but they schedule BYU for nonconference games regularly.

 

[Irishcheesehead]

I think that is because the Pac-10 needs a unanimous vote to expand and Cal is the objection.

Has mustang17 been sharing his wit elsewhere?

While waiting for the Texas State Legislature to screw this whole thing up, I wonder:

If a school leaves the Big XII, does it get to drop the dumb reversal of its initials, and revert to what it should be?

Will the University of Nebraska become UN?

University of Missouri becomes UM?

University of Kansas become UK?

Inquiring minds want to know.

My bro and I were sending these back and forth. Unless he was taking them offline and passing them off as his own.
