To be honest, some of these schools might be better off going to the American than the Pac12. The AAC isn't that far behind the Pac12. You would get quality opponents like Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF, etc.

Absolute nonsense. The AAC is far behind the PAC 12 in revenue, play on the field and sending players to the NFL.

TV money pay out:
PAC 12 - 33.6M
AAC - 7.5M

NFL Draft Picks over the last 5 seasons:
PAC 12 - 13.17 per season
AAC - 7 per season

Phil Steele Power Poll for 2021 (Closely tracks to Vegas Power Rankings):
PAC 12:
USC - 11th
Oregon - 12th
Utah - 15th
Washington - 16th
Arizona State - 20th
Stanford - 27th
UCLA - 29th
Washington State - 57th
Colorado - 58th
California - 62nd
Oregon State - 72nd
Arizona - 105th

Median - 28th

AAC:
Cincinnati - 18th
UCF - 30th
Tulsa - 46th
SMU - 56th
Houston - 60th
Memphis - 68th
ECU - 69th
Tulane - 70th
Navy - 101st
USF - 108th
Temple - 116th

Median - 68th

With the expanded playoffs and this BIG12 news the AAC has become the next P5 school

There's not going to be a P5 distinction. The key is how many auto bids will go to conference champions in the expanded playoff. It was originally said to be 6 but I could see them moving that down to 5 with the Big 12 news.

Best hatred of the rusty cows I've seen. :yo: You land thieves need to take lessons from these guys in how to hate Texas.

I'm not being friends with the same fans who criticized A&M for doing nothing but getting out ahead of the shit storm those same fans now find themselves in.

I don't recall Husker fans criticizing A&M for leaving the Big 12. Nebraska themselves took the security and $$ route.

I wasn't talking about Husker fans, I was talking about not caring for the current Big12 fans who talked shit about A&M leaving because we were able to see the writing on the wall that said Texas will stab them in the back the first chance they get.

There is no doubt that at this point OU, Texas, and the SEC are all speaking as one voice and on the same page. This is all just formalized communication to the public.

I bet the lawyers get involved and that 2025 media contract binding the two teams to the B12 gets squashed out and we see them in the SEC before then. I think you might also see a complete fracture of the conference, leading to the same result as well.

Any team left in the BigXII that wait's around to see what happens, is going to get fucked over.
It will only take 1 team to bolt, then it will domino

They will be playing in the SEC by Fall of 2022, 2023 at the latest. The only reason they wait until 2023 is scheduling issues.

The biggest agenda item left is whether we can save Bedlam or not. That is really the only MAJOR rivalry that OU and Texas are losing by moving to the SEC. Texas gets its top in-state rivalry back by the move as well as the Arkansas game.

Yeah. I have no sympathy for fans of the Big 12 North teams that voted lockstep with tejas at the conference's inception.

They were under the impression that "If you take Nebraska down, it'll make you look better when you start beating them". There was a massive power shift to the South Division which was the TX/OU plan to begin with. There were a lot of 11-1 votes back then, with Nebraska being the 1.

KInda like a NCAA 2.0 (without the ncaa bullshit) - A smaller league at 64 teams... :pop2:

You are more optimistic than I am corp. IIRC, right now there are 68. I just don't see the smaller ones being able to keep up with a couple of exceptions. If they have enough BMDs or if they are willing to charge their students enough to keep things going, then they would be included. I remember a few years ago there was a list of about 30 teams that actually paid their way athletically. But, what the hell do I know. Other than media money, maybe there is a money tree I'm not aware of.
