What Is The PAC’s or Big 12’s Move?

I'd prefer to watch some of those matchups instead of Rutgers vs Illinois or something similar. But, I live in Texas and have no idea what a fan in Florida or somewhere similar would prefer. How about Floridians. Would you prefer to watch games like Rutgers vs Illinois or Baylor vs Arizona?

Bottom line is none of the four really draw national eyeballs.

That's a BTN game.

Everyone will be too busy watching Auburn play in primetime, outside of Bama, they carry the SEC brand/eyeballs

Baylor/Arizona likely gets ESPN2 or FS2 on an afternoon game.

Auburn will get all the views with their 3:30pm kick off vs SCe
 
Big 12 should look at what Big East did, but care about football too. But they could have a dominant basketball conference with some teams that will hold their own in football. They don't want to just focus on football and lose the appeal for Kansas.

That is why I said it. The Big East made a mistake not going after Penn State. The Big 12 should accept the offers like that, but I think they should focus on remaining the top hoops conference over football (but not ignoring football either).

CFB is where it is right now because the Big 10 and SEC made it a priority to go after bluebloods.

9 of the 10 winningest programs are now in the Big 10 or SEC.

The only one that's not is Notre Dame.

I agree and I don't think the Big 12 will any choice but to do so. They're going to need basketball revenue big time because the football revenue is going to fall off a cliff.

...and they are also populated with several of the "non winningest" programs.

If Arizona comes to the fold, that is another legit bball program

KU has plenty of football fans... Don't have much to root for, but they're there. Basketball's profit potential isn't going to be realized either until the NCAA loses control of the NCAAT. Outside of a few outliers, basketball does not drive revenue.

They're the same people going to AFH, btw.

if Beach volleyball is that important to SC, they can always play as an independent? They have enough money to to get those into whatever conference has multiple teams in that sport. I'm not sure if they were trolling or not, but on XM yesterday, they said AZ st has a hockey team that plays in the BiG?

A good trivia question is what SEC schools are affiliate members of the Big XII?

Alabama -- women's rowing
Missouri -- wrestling
Tennessee -- women's rowing
