I didn’t think so last year when this name was brought up and I don’t think so now either.God I hope not. They bring nothing. I'd rather Oregon, Washington, heck give me Cincy over Kansas.
That isn’t happening anytime soon. Notre Dame Oregon Washington sure maybe even Stanford and Cal but the Jayhawks? NaaaahGod I hope not. They bring nothing. I'd rather Oregon, Washington, heck give me Cincy over Kansas.
Add 2 more west coast teams ( maybe Stanford & Oregon) then ND & KS. That’s 20 right? Then u have five 4 team “pods” Does that work?Kansas is not coming,
a TKR poster said on one of the other boards here that the B1G wouldn't leave those two schools stranded out west without having other western programs come in with them.Surprised USC and UCLA would come without some more west coasters. If any more come I would go for flagship U's, Oregon and Washington. Coast to coast gives you all day coverage and helps USC UCLA with travel.
Source? Steam from a pile of 💩?I'd rather Missouri and Texas A&M.
nah, they're considered SEC material 😁😇Waiting for "UConn being considered for B1G" posts to start any minute now ......
B1G is done for now unless ND wants to come.Add 2 more west coast teams ( maybe Stanford & Oregon) then ND & KS. That’s 20 right? Then u have five 4 team “pods” Does that work?
They’re not leaving the SEC. Not if they say so.I'd rather Missouri and Texas A&M.
The only people talking up Kansas are from Kansas . . .Source? Steam from a pile of 💩?
The question is "what is the magic size"? If its 20, when I think it will be ND, Washington, Oregon and Stanford. If its 24, then you look at Cal, Utah, Colorado seem likely and then decide what is value at 24th spot. That is what Kansas would fight for.Kansas is better at creating fake rumor hype than it is at football
Kansas’s best chance is as like a 22nd or 24th option.
UCLA and USC won’t be left on an island.
nope. the big ten and the sec are each going to be a 24 or 28 team super conferences . they will be in a different division than the rest of the teams and the playoff teams will only come from these 2 conferences. The tv money the sec and the b10 teams will get will be more than the rest of the conferences combined16 teams is enough. Beyond that, it gets clumsy with scheduling. If anyone goes after Kansas, it could well be the Pac12, whose expansion options are somewhat limited by geography.
A&M and Mizzou are in the SEC already so there is no real reason for them to jump ship at this point unless they are trying to avoid being stuck with TX again.
You know I haven’t read a single post that states this will ruin college football. These super conferences will be all about the $$$, no complaints from me. But when a kid gets a couple of million people lose their minds😂😂😂The B1G is going hard after ND and Stanford. Right now, the payout to each team in 2024 is estimated between $100 and 120 million and most of that is TV markets - the B1G hit the mother lode with USC and UCLA bringing in the Los Angeles market. ND is a national TV draw and Stanford pulls in the San Francisco - San Jose market. Plus, both schools are super academic schools.
Explain to me what value Kansas adds? The B1G won't add teams that don't add value and takes down what the other teams are pulling in. If the conference gets ND and Stanford, maybe (a big maybe) Washington (Seattle) and Oregon (Portland) are next - a big question mark (being rumored right now. But Kansas ?
Agreed. The dynamic has completely changed. KU lost all of its luster as an expansion candidate once the SEC took the OUT schools. Even before that, KU's only chance was as a paring with a much bigger name. Now, ND and whoever ND wants to bring is probably the next move. I think we are looking at the birth of the P2, BIG and SEC will eventually expand to 24 schools each. It appears that the BIG has decided on a western expansion strategy. Which means eating the PAC. My guess is the BIG expands in some sort of order: ND/Stanford; UO/UW; UA/Cal; UC/(UU/KU).Kansas is better at creating fake rumor hype than it is at football

Your last sentence is why Stanford is a target. B1G gets Stanford to get to ND. B1G wants to checkmate ND into joining by taking away all of their historic rivals. If ND still declines after all that, then just go ahead and grab Cal to lock up the Bay Area along with Stanford.Why does Stanford deliver Bay Area eyeballs ? Elite privates aren’t the local favorites, with the possible exception of BYU and ND because of the religion tie. UNC fans outnumber Duke fans 10:1 in their state. Cal is the team to bring in. Recent success doesn’t matter (just look at us). Only reason to take Stanford is if that gets ND too.
