Way more realistic than hoping Arkansas or an Acc team joins the current big 12. I mean look when Texas was absolute garbage and Ou wasn't normally good. Tcu/Baylor weren't taken seriously as a champ . The big 12 will never be as good as it once was and Ou/Texas have to be good for anyone to take them seriously. Still didn’t explain WHY the big10 would be better 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 1. for the ? how would UT and OU make the Big 10 better -- both schools carry the power, money, history, and cache of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and Nebraska...the four Big 10 top dogs. when you put 2 teams as good or better in your conference, it gives your conference more opportunity to win...you win consistently then all of a sudden things change as the power. the SEC is great, but as Saban slows down and this stranglehold is relenting then we'll see the ACC and Big 12 and Big 10 fighting pretty evenly again with their power schools. 2. splitting OU to the SEC and UT to the PAC 12 -- yes, I guess this is possible of course. I would think West Virginia would also go to the SEC at that point (they had been courted in the past...as had UT been courted by the PAC). I believe if Texas went west, they would make the allowances we've heard where Texas would only play 1 or so late games a year and everything else played out there on the west coast would just be scheduled at an early time so to match up more appropriately with the CST. 3. UT going independent -- does Texas have the money, friendly academics, following, etc to make this happen like Notre Dame? yes...probably much more easily than Notre Dame with their own TV Network, huge alumni network and cheaper tuition that draws in the constant enrollment of over 50K students (and they'd draw even more). that all being said, I don't think they would do it...and I hope they don't ever. I like being in a conference. I don't like the current makeup of the Big 12 and would like a huge fruit basket conference makeover like we get to do on XBOX 360 NCAA Football (my conferences are awesome).

Cant blame them for trying to cash in on football and try to build something, the move just went south quick because football never took off and basketball has completely fallen off the map. Actually, looking at all the original Big East schools and the state of their basketball programs is pretty amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU has been awful. Missouri would have been bad in either conference. Texas A&M has faired pretty well, although there were a few years that I think they could have won the b12 had they have stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think it’s a pretty small segment of fans that can look at what A&M has done in the SEC and call it a failure. I’m sure some were expecting the type of results Arkansas and Tennessee have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
