You've gotta think that they are/will try to get out of their new contract if it's going to fold. Adding them and possibly Boise could save the Big XII, if they really wanted to save it.
I can see that, but do the left over BE schools go football only because of the credibility that stays with the basketball side?jordo212000;902431 wrote:I think you see the remaining Big East and Big 12 schools consolidate into one conference?
The Big 12 should stay around and should be selective on who they take. Get TCU, USF, Cincy, Rutgers, Louisville, Boise, Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, Houston, and BYU.bigkahuna;902511 wrote:I can see that, but do the left over BE schools go football only because of the credibility that stays with the basketball side?

Do the Big 12 leftovers talk to the MWC, and lobby to get the depleted Big East's BCS position moved over to there?jordo212000;902431 wrote:I think you see the remaining Big East and Big 12 schools consolidate into one conference?
Maybe as basketball only schools inside of the newly formed conference of misfits?GOONx19;902522 wrote:But where does that leave the basketball schools like St. Johns, Nova, Marquette, and Georgetown?
Mountain West teams would come to the Mountain West in that scenario IMO. Big 12 already has AQ status. I could see this being possible too? Just think that some of the Big East schools would probably be a little more intriguing than the majority of the Mtn West schools.ts1227;902527 wrote:Do the Big 12 leftovers talk to the MWC, and lobby to get the depleted Big East's BCS position moved over to there?
This is assuming the move is made more on football decisions.
If they look at football only, I think some of the MWC ones have more appeal than what will be left of the BE (especially if WVU, Uconn, RU go). Throwing basketball in there makes the Big East look better. All depends on how they make the decision.jordo212000;902536 wrote:Mountain West teams would come to the Mountain West in that scenario IMO. Big 12 already has AQ status.

The Big East non-fb playing schools will pick up other instutiutions like Xavier, Dayton, St. Louis, Temple to become the A-10 on steroids.GOONx19;902522 wrote:But where does that leave the basketball schools like St. Johns, Nova, Marquette, and Georgetown?
Yeah, but I figure some of the markets they could add by getting a few of the Big East schools would probably be much more attractive than some of those Mtn West schools.ts1227;902539 wrote:If they look at football only, I think some of the MWC ones have more appeal than what will be left of the BE (especially if WVU, Uconn, RU go).

Or they just join the A-10?Little Danny;902545 wrote:The Big East non-fb playing schools will pick up other instutiutions like Xavier, Dayton, St. Louis, Temple to become the A-10 on steroids.
I love it!Manhattan Buckeye;899484 wrote:Look for the ACC to go all in and go for UConn/Rutgers.
The team that could get really hammered - WVU.
These re my thoughts, aside from the last - the Big 12 is done. Okie/TX has their pick of conferences, but the rest of the teams are just hoping to get scooped up.SportsAndLady;902521 wrote:Texas, Tech, Okla, Okla State are Pac16 bound.
Uconn and RU are ACC bound.
The big 12 can be selective with whom they take, but it won't involve those teams.
So if the BE and Big 12 are done...where are those teams going to go?Manhattan Buckeye;902814 wrote:These re my thoughts, aside from the last - the Big 12 is done. Okie/TX has their pick of conferences, but the rest of the teams are just hoping to get scooped up.
Sorry for the edit, bad typing.

Likely, I would not want to be the AD for Baylor, ISU, Kansas, KSU, Cincy, L'ville, S. Fla, WVU, or TCU right now. Really bad for Kansas given their excellent basketball program.ts1227;902824 wrote:The leftovers from both go under the Big 12 name, Big East becomes an 8 team conference without football. Or, Big East takes Big 12 leftovers to maintain at least 8 football schools and eleventy billion basketball schools like now.

Link?? I thought Kansas had no chance at going to a conference like the B1G because they aren't a football school powerhouse and no one cares about basketball since basketball doesn't matter at all in the realignment of teams and conferences!SportsAndLady;902863 wrote:The B1G will pick up Kansas and Missouri
