Hard to disagree, but go back and check the difference in applications at Northwestern when they started winning in football

Agree, but if there is enough $$ and the top 2-3 programs bolt the B1G will not be to far behind the B12

This last year that would have covered most of our Defensive Stands

I would think UH even more. You already have TCU

But it means others think it might. Have you heard much about UNT's potential lately outside this board?

The way everyone talks about the "otners" in the B12, you can understand why UNT and most other G5 schools are not taken serious in considerations

In the end it might not make a difference. I still think the long talked about Super Conference is nearing. Quite a few of the current P5 schools will be left out. Personally I would like to see it sooner than later so we can start adjusting.

From ESPN (for what is worth) Industry sources indicated to ESPN on Sunday the SEC's potential additions of Oklahoma and Texas might be the first step in the formation of a single superconference, which would one day include as many as 60 teams or as few as 32. Under that scenario, powerhouse teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC and Notre Dame would fold into one single entity. Those schools would play each other and no one else.

Was also thinking that might hurt the school from Highland Park move to the B12. Only difference is they could probably have 100 boosters write the check to cover the startup today - and cover the corresponding women's team(s)

If these teams moved the AAC would not be a better conference. OSU, BU, Tech, Iowa State, and TCU are not bad schools. If you pull Cin/UCF/Memphis then all of the sudden the AAC is not near what it has been. Add those 3 plus BYU and you probably have a conference from top to bottom as strong as the PAC12

KU football in the B10 could see some historic losses

It depends if the B12 can add some quality teams. If they can add, for instance, Cincinnati and UCF, or Memphis they are ahead of the AAC

@PlummMeanGreen What is working in their favor is the "potential" of San Antonio. UTSA just happens to be the name of the school fielding the team.

Yes, that is why I would hope we go with the Belt's commissioner. I think the longer Judy stays around the more every fan in CUSA knows their school is not serious about football

Could they be planning on staying if the B12 gives them a larger share of revenues? Probably not, but how long will their fans be willing to put up with the losses the SEC is sure to bring?

Judy still thinks there are 10 teams in the Big 10

How are we a BB school? We had a great year and won our first NCAA game. Does that qualify us as a BB school? If GM leaves after next year does this change?

From SI Or Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and AAC commish Mike Aresco meet in the Metroplex—where both leagues have their offices—and hatch a plan to combine forces. A mashup of 19 schools isn’t going to work, which could lead to some bloodletting (sleep with one eye open, East Carolina, Tulsa, Temple, Tulane). But a combination of the best of what’s left might have some viability beyond an eight-team tweener league.

SMU to their credit has done a tremendous marketing job on fan and players. They have done a good job keeping their "name" in the mix, and they have done a tremendous job selling transfers on the vale of an SMU degree (would be interesting to look back in a few years and see how many of these transfers end up graduating. It also does not hurt that the have boosters with deep pockets.

It depends on who they are able to add and who else they might lose. There could be more surprises if anyone else leaves to join the SEC. If the SEC plucked a couple of schools from the B10 or ACC they would be in the same shape as the B12

Hopefully somewhere. Best case might be a replacement in the AAC is smu left or an addition to the MWC. I do not see us on any P5 radar, or going to the AAC if they get raided unless the ponies move leagues. A lot may depend on the SEC stopping at 16. Once the UT and OU becomes official things will get crazy

Facts or not, wonder if there are any other schools in the FBS where their school's paper writes articles in support of rivals.

Unless the B12 picks up BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Memphis and then they are as good as the P10.
