Message: [QUOTE="NKR1978, post: 4940822, member: 186"] I would like the Big 12 as a nice landing spot for Syracuse if the ACC falls apart. I actually love it as a conference if it gets an eastern pod with Pitt, WVU, Syracuse, BC; but my ideal would be to pick off the best of the Big 12. There is zero value there. Utah, Arizona/ASU and Colorado couldn't command any money with UCLA, Oregona, USC and Washington. There's no way those schools along with 30% market share in Oklahoma, maybe 20% in Texas (being generous), 5% in Ohio, West Virginia (a poor and dying state), the 4th most popular school in Florida, 40% of Iowa and the whole state of Kansas - there's no way that rabble will command any money. Cal and Stanford are going to look very smart for hitching their ride to the ACC for now. But we need to all stay together for a few more years so the big boys can move off to their new homes and the rest of us have a soft landing and can at least control our conference to some extent.
