MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

Throw money out and I would much rather be in the BIG12 that the Big 10 I mean 18. Basketball, Baseball, Much more wide open football and no **** snow games

Weather is worse at many of the B12 schools

At the very worst you would have just 2 - 3 away games in late October / November.
On the flip side you would have those schools visiting us in Sept/October (heat / humidity).
I just don't see this as a great obstacle

I will say this.

While I'm not a fan of the Big 12 strategy, it would be funny if the Big 12 adds UM and F$U, and possibly USF down the road.

The SEC could **** off at that point, for all I care. Go chase UNC and UVa.

IF FSPoo and Clemmie end up in the Big12 I will laugh at their tenacity to get out only to land there. BUT....that conference will be a very strong and competitive football conference. Stronger than the ACC. We al talk about how "Strong" the SEC and B10 are but really they are not well balanced. A few strong teams at the to and the rest are middling programs

The only thing that matters is NATTIES, and the Big12 ain’t winning em anytime soon

Yormark said on Bruce Feldman pod that he wants to have the same 1-2 top-level teams that compete for the CFP/Natty every year. Which is probably why he's after FSU & Clemson.

 

[D_G87]

If FSU did all this just to join the B12 and clear the path for us to join the B10 I literally might die from laughter.

This would literally make me as happy as 2017 Vtech/Notre Dame happy

Not sure the math is mathing here, but ok????




I suppose the argument is:

- Instead of merging Big 12 + ACC, Yormark just poaches "the best" of what ACC has
- Rumor is the new conference's naming rights are up for sale "Allstate 20" type of thing..they certainly have the $$$$ for it

The theory (and it’s not wrong or impossible) is that the deal gets adjusted up with name brands (absolutely possible) and big 12 pays those schools more than other members.

Corporate naming rights is the way to go. It brings in several hundreds of millions in incremental revenue for the conference.

Agreed. Weather patterns have changed tremendously over the years. Here in Chicago, we don't start seeing significant cold and / or snow until December. If Miami players and fans can't hack a game or two in 40-degree temps and an occasional snow shower, then they shouldn't participate in the game of football.

That caused chaos before with Texas and Oklahoma.

SEC football brought to by Preparation H.

When you have *** pain, think SEC, think Conference of Champions, think Preparation H.

Selfishly I'd be at a lot more games if we join the BIG12.

I do think more conferences are going to start taking money from doormats and giving more to their top teams, but the idea that FSU and Clemson are going to Big12 is silly. That dude throws crap against the wall nonstop

Was about to say all of them.

In regards to realignment or conference talks, no one knows anything. And I'm sure @TheOriginalCane, who should know, can agree here. Because the entire topic, with all the money and legality involved, probably won't get spit out like recruiting stories nowadays.

We're talking serious business here.

 

[rascon]

I love the Big 12 strategy… for the Big12.
I can easily see a P2.5 scenario where the P2 get the most bids to postseason but Big12 gets multiple as well.

The ACC in court battles going to lose a members and if they remain it could be the equivalent of the AAC or Mountain West.

That said, all day every day give me B1G for Miami.

Just for the record, half a year ago the two schools mentioned were SEC or nothing, now, they're so enticed by the Big 12 offer they will go there? Nah.

In this time of darkness, we need a beacon of light.
