NCAA Football '11-'12

[Valmy]

BYU, San Diego State (a real football power there), and Boise will make up the core of the Big East (west).  Just my opinion, Boise's only real problem has been finding a place for all the other, non-important sports.

LOL

BYU said no to the Big East.  Or at least 'I have a headache, call back tommorow'.

[Valmy]

Cincinnati's at least close by to West Virginia and Louisville.

They are also a commuter school with a smallish and apathetic fanbase.  Urban schools tend to be bad for College Football, even TCU can struggle to fill its stadium.

[PDH]

Yeah, BYU wants to keep its own TV network AND get a bigger piece of the pie in a conference.  Good luck there 

I really do think that Boise will jump if they get a football only partner from the west to go along - and it looks like that lapdog is San Diego State...

Yeah they tried to strongarm the Big 12 as well.  They are the most delusional school in all of sports.  They think they are Notre Dame and USC combined or something.

Yeah um...the intense rivalry between the close rivals in Boise and San Diego burns ever brightly.

[PDH]

San Diego operates under a huge inferiority complex as it is only an "SU" in California.  They so want to stop eating at the kids table.  Boise is just sure that they are a team of destiny (despite not having a place kicker...ever), and will lead on the delusional if it helps their journey to the promised land.

San Diego does have a pretty cool team name though, I'll give them that.

I liked this quote from the Texas Tribune from a Texas Politician about whether the State Government will pass a law requiring Texas and Texas A&M to play each other:

I couldn't imagine a less important issue to occupy our time. So, of course, that means we'll blow weeks and weeks on it.

Sad but true

I don't even think they reach the lofty heights of 'apathetic'.

[Berkut]

Oh, TCU?  Ask Utah how that move to a power conference went.

Utah is going to a bowl game, and in a couple years will be rolling around in piles of cash they could only dream about a year ago.

I am pretty sure their answer would be "Just fine, thanks for asking!"

Racist.

[Grey Fox]

Playoffs.

[Valmy]

Playoffs.

I am with you here.

But not like in the Maritimes Canadian College Football thing where the last place team gets into the playoffs

PAC 12 homer

Yeah, only a homer could think an extra $20 million/year would not suck.

If anyone is having second thoughts about Utah to the Pac-12, it is the Pac-12...not Utah.
