Colorado and Nebraska back to B12?
- Thread starter scarletjimmy
- Start date
Bill Snyder may be getting really confused in his old age if he thinks Nebraska is giving up B10 money to return to the shaky B12 ship..
No chance in hell. Both are in better situations away from Texas.
Nebraska is still buying in to the Big Ten, but they'd jump back to the Big XII for less stability and less money. Riiiiiiiight. Bill Snyder's family may need to start looking for a comfy assisted living facility for Coach...
Big 12 Conference is crazy. Crazy Aunt in the Attic, crazy. Why would a university want to go back to the attic?
Colorado couldn't leave the Big 12 quick enough. No way any of those schools go back to that basket case of a conference.
Texas A&M and Missouri would be my guess of the two schools wanting back into the B12.
And I thought that the nonsense posted here was silly, this is straight up completely insane and stupid to almost unthinkable levels.
^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^
Texas A&M??? Good god, no! Getting into the SEC was a godsend for them: no more playing second fiddle to UT. There is no way in hell they'd ever go back to that.
The biggest mistake to happen to the Big 8 was letting former members of the Southwest Conference into the league and forming the Big 12. Colorado fingerprints are all over this mistake. Colorado was thankful the Pac 12 still had interest in them after making it known shortly after Arizona and Arizona State enter the Pac 10. When offered officially, CU ran so d*mn quick the Pac 12 it wasn't even funny. No way in hell they are going back. Denver may have the feel of Big 8/Big 12, but Boulder is Berkely lite all the way.
Nobody wants to get screwed I mean stuck with Texas
Three letters: NFW
Greater chance that the University of Chicago fires football back up, and joins the Big XII.

Don't all the conferences except the SEC have some form of a GOR? If that's the case again you're asking school presidents to go through the hassle and for not even a good reason in this case. One of the more out there theories and that's saying something lol.

From what I've read around the always truthful internet about it is that it would be Missouri and Colorado. Missouri folks just don't think they fit in in the SEC and Colorado is not really making any more money and are isolated away from all the Pac schools. Somewhat how WVU is in the Big 12. None of its going to happen so it really don't matter. I do wish NU would have stayed in the Big 12 tho. JMO.
Mizzou at least doesn't have a GOR to contend with but they're making more money in the SEC hard to see them wanting to leave. I guess I can't blame them, I too long for the days of the great leadership of the BE. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
In its current form, or the old Big 12? Have to admit it's a mess. Just invite 2 of your friends for B1G western expansion and you'll be good. Shift Purdue to the East.
In addition, you have to like the fact that Nebraska is starting a temp. annual rival game with Ohio State.

Officially the stupidest thing uttered on this board all year...A&M has raked in SO much money and done well in the SEC...why the **** would they ever go back!?!
Three is much chance of this as the Buckeyes moving to the AAC...get it?!?
No you don't, because then you wouldn't have met us!

And you would still be dodging us like you did back in the 70's and 80's when we were real good. I think your coach, Ozzy Osbourne, was afraid we'd beat you guys.
Saw on UConn site that some UT or OU sources say they want in to B1G by 2017. I would like this.
Lol at everyone taking the Mizz/TA&M comment seriously
Ultimately the plan going south is
Big Ten East
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan
Michigan State
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
Big Ten West
Illinois
Iowa
Kansas
Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern
Oklahoma
Texas
Wisconsin
That is my Dream B1G 16 member conference. I would be shocked if that happens however.
That would be the SUPREME Conference in all the land. SEC would have nothing on us. One can dream.
Missouri wanting back into the Big 12 I doubt it. They covet an invitation to join the B1G. During B1G's initial expansion they were certain they would get an offer. They are AAU making them a nice academic fit for the B1G.

It's actually a 18 member conference and for names like Texas/OU/ND I could see a conference go past a logistically more feasible 16 but I don't see it ever happening either and definitely not anytime soon even if you thought it had a legitimate chance.
The more I read and hear (politicians), the more I think it'll stay as a P5 with Texas/OU in the B12 or P4 but not with everyone at 16 teams like is popular opinion.
I missed the 2 other schools.
To be clear i am 100% happy with 14. In fact if the Big Ten never adds another school for a 1,000 years I would be 100% happy about that.
You would have to be crazy to go back to a conf with UT. I can understand the G5 schools wanting in but any school that escaped UT cannot want back in with them. It is suicide.
