Big 12 Conference Dissolution – Where Each Team Would Go
With confirmation by Texas governor Rick Perry that the Texas A&M Aggies are exploring the possibility of moving to the SEC, it is once again time to look at the ripple effect of what a move like that would have. If the Aggies do move on, that will leave nine schools left in the less-than-aptly...
The New Math: The Day 10 Equals 12 - Or The Day Nebraska Finally Pushed the Big Ten to 12 Teams
Hard to believe it was a little over a year ago that this happened: The Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) announced unanimous approval today for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to join the Big Ten Conference effective July 1, 2011, with competition to begin in all sports...
Expansion and USF - Where Are We At Right Now?
There's still a lot of waiting for Bulls fans until we find out how (or if) this round of college expansion/realignment will affect USF. I have to say, though, I don't have a real good feeling about how everything has gone down so far. The biggest problem I see so far is that only the Pac-10 seems...
Conference Realignmentageddon: SBN Links To Follow The Insanity
If you haven't noticed, I've been strangely quiet on the seismic shift in the intercollegiate landscape that is happening right before our eyes. This is primarily because football is the driving factor (and basketball and the non-revenue sports are barely getting a passing mention at this point)...
Big 10 and Pac-10 Expansion Begins - LUDICROUS SPEED! GO!!!
Here's what we know is absolutely true: Colorado has joined the Pac-10. Boise State has joined the Mountain West. Nebraska is pledging allegiance to the Big 10, if not joining outright. (UPDATE: It's official, they're in.) This article is officially hilarious. Even though he ended up being...
Of Course Conference Expansion Is Not About Basketball
In the midst of an otherwise decent article on why this round of conference reshuffling is different from the last couple times around, Michael Rosenberg wanders of track with a statement that is technically true but wholly irrelevant: And since this is all being done for TV money, it is all about...
Texas Will Not Join The Big Ten
Well, we picked a hell of a weekend to hightail it off to Chicago for debriefing and cocktails, didn't we? Fird of all, Blogs With Balls 3 was enormously enjoyable. HS and I had the opportunity to meet literally dozens of talented writers--most of whom we met for the first time--including Spencer...
Dan Beebe Is In Denial Something Fierce
EVERYTHING IS FINE. PLEASE IGNORE THE FLAMES AND SCREAMING AND SCREECHING TIRES BEHIND THE CURTAIN. EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT HERE. Friend of the Pants Scott Dochterman checks in again with another report from the Big XII meetings today and while things weren't quite...
The Pac-10 Might Soon Be the Pac-16. Is the Big Ten Next?
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past six hours, you probably know the basics, but, here goes: A report from www.orangebloods.com Thursday had Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado bolting for a new-look Pac-10 Conference. Missouri and Nebraska...
The Big XII Is Crumbling As We Speak
It's no surprise that we expected radical changes at the Big XII, to the point that whatever's left wouldn't be called the Big XII anymore. Maybe a revival of the Big 8 or whatever. We expected those changes to come after the Big Ten took who they wanted from the conference, and that it would be...
