Oklahoma and Texas leaving BIG12, joining the SEC

Bullsitter

Going to be some good games in all sports.

16 teams, 4 divisions....maybe by 2022

Goldenage

Awesome. If you can’t beat them, join them.

There's going to be some knock down, drag out battles, looking forward to it!

Bunch of BS here, win your conference and handle you crap or don't lobby for super conference creation/inclusion because you play div 1 scrubs/

I never did get UT. Average team. CAL beat them home and away in 2015 & 2016. Sore losers to boot.
CAL receiver took the ' hook em horns' sign and turned it upside down and it is now a personal foul, unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Poor babies, wah wah.

I’ve really enjoyed being anti-SEC. I can’t see myself ever doing an SEC chant.
It’s supposedly going to be good for money and things like that. Probably just one step closer to power football teams completely leaving the NCAA chains/umbrella. (Boomer Sooner!)

movement by schools into other Conferences seems to me to be driven by one thing: the stubborn reluctance of the NCAA to absolutely refuse to have some reasonable type of Football playoff system. since Teams seem willing to break decades long association and rivalries by switching to another Conference, one they probably perceive will help them in the playoffs and with revenue streams, why not just start the playoff during Thanksgiving weekend??

the whole Bowl System is quite nostalgic to old time fans and it has a quaint history, but it seems outdated and irrelevant to the younger fans. it should be scrapped, revamped and tailored to offer every NCAA school a chance within their respective Division. use the BB March Madness as a template. till that is done I'd expect Teams to continue moving to three Conferences: SEC, ACC and Big 10.

As a Pac-12 homer I am curious what we do out "west." I think the Pac should go after schools like OK State, TCU, Baylor, etc.... Plus, I think BYU. Seems like a no brainer to grab BYU and that huge fan base. They could easily become Notre Dame'ish as the years tick on.

16 teams for one conference is too many. > @Goldenage said:

?? Both teams have a winning record against Alabama.

I don't like it and I agree with Cool, too many teams. But on the other hand we do owe Texas and Oklahoma like Cool said.
Payback's a coming.

I have heard Iowa State and Kansas to the BIG10.....KANSAS ?????...C'mon man.

Also agree with Larry about the PAC12, there will be some departures and additions.

I'd be stunned if either one ended up in the B1G. Kansas brings big-time basketball to the table at least.

Gonna make conference cannibalism more prevalent. Schedules will be stupid strong but I don't want more teams. A&M was bad enough now we got more coming.

Now the SEC is trying to add Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Florida State to the list.

On behalf of the University of Michigan we will pass. But if the MAC comes a calling well.....

Ya, I heard that too. That's crazy. Ohio State and Michigan are fine where they are. I think the Big "10" should add Notre Dame and maybe Vandy (when the SEC kicks them out). Academically I think a better fit in the Big... and last I checked education is part of college sports.
