Conference Realignment, A Good Thing
Thoughts on conference realignments, assuming the reports are accurate, and Nebraska is going to the Big 10, and Texas and ‘five other schools’ are headed for the Pac-10...
1.Yes, I know it is about money; TV deals; money; getting into the BCS; money; competing with the SEC; and money. I just don’t care. If you thought any of this was about anything other than money for the last 40 years, you are as dense as Jeremiah Masoli.
2.Nebraska going to the Big 10 is hilarious. That the Big 10 took the fourth best team out of the Big 12 as their signature move is very funny. Nebraska may pack their stadium, sell lots of gear, and live and breathe football, but they are not national players. Actually, scratch all of that. They are the perfect Big 10 team.
3.Basketball simply doesn’t matter. How do I know? Because Kansas is practically radio-active in the race to find a new conference. Kansas basketball is about as ‘blue chip’ as it gets, but Kansas football is a dog and because of that, no one wants them. The NCAA tournament might be a blast to watch, the best thing to bet on, but when it comes to mattering with ADs and university presidents, it couldn’t matter less. Maybe if Mangino were still there, things would be different. They would for me, I know that much. I miss him already.
4.The football is going to be fantastic. A conference with Texas, Oklahoma, and USC is immediately the best conference in America. FACT. Suck it, SEC.
5.Oklahoma being lumped in with the ‘five other schools’ is priceless. Texas and ‘five other schools’ will join the Pac-10. Oklahoma was just put into the same category as Texas Tech. That’s funny. Very funny. They had an inferiority complex to begin with and now this. Hey, at least you matter more than Washington State. I guess.
6.‘Bye-bye’ to the charade of the Pac-10 being an ‘academic’ conference. Cal, Stanford, UCLA are now in the same conference as Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. You sold your academic soul for football. Never speak of academics again. Not with the Cowboys and Red Raiders in your house.
7.Finally the people of Corvallis and Pullman will have cities to make fun of. Lubbock and Stillwater are not popular vacation destinations.
8.USC is in big trouble. Sanctions, loss of bowl games, and two new monster teams that are going to battle them for recruits and headlines. New coach plus sanctions, plus loss of scholarships, plus Mack Brown in LA living rooms equals Lane Kiffin getting his ass kicked.

How do you figure that OU, Texas and a now on probation USC is immediately better than the SEC? Is it debatable? barely, a "FACT", no way. Last 4 years, even if we include USC's soon to be vacated appearances. SEC FOUR National Championships, Pac16, 0. BCS Bowl game wins, SEC 7, PAC16 3. So how exactly is it a fact that the PAC16 is instantly better?
Do some research, Trav. I know it fits you and the rest of the media's agenda to bash Techa nd OSU's academics, but they're staticstically on par or better than Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona State, and OU.
Or you can just be like everyone else barking nonsense during this whole charade, and continue claiming falsities because it fits into what you already wanted to believe.
Tech was in danger of losing their academic accreditation because their classes were too easy. how bout you do some research there AB. solid as always, travis

I hate to sound like the party pooper, but how does throwing Colorado in to the Pac-10 instantly make it the "it" conference? Colorado hasn't really done anything in the realm of college football, basketball (men's and women's), baseball, volleyball, or even soccer (which is ultracompetitive at the collegiate level) for some time (other than being Chris Fowler's alma mater). I guess if dangling the carrot gets Colorado to jump ships, the hope is Texas and OU will do the same.
But I have always felt that conferences should have geographic representation, not be made up of schools that have no relationship to each other other than that they are football powerhouses. A truly sad day for the Pac-10.
I didn't even get into how this messes up the BCS bowl bid process. This is a clusterf**k of epic and immense proportions.
P.S. - Trav, when are we going to get a podcast? Let a brotha know!

Suck it SEC? Cute. Texas got smoked by Alabama. OU got rag-dolled by Florida. It's the SEC's world and the PAC 10 gets to live in it. BTW, Texas, OU, and A&M are not a sure thing. It's being widely reported that all 3 wants to be in the SEC.......if the SEC will have them. College football HAS a playoff, it's called the SEC regular season. The National Championship is held in Atlanta every December; it's called the SEC Championship Game. The winner is National Champ, but must win one more easy game against the best the Pac 10, Big 11, or Big 12 has to offer. If the SEC chooses Texas, OU, and A&M you'll be watching such heavy weights enter the Pac 10 as Texas Tech, Okie State, and Boise. Have fun with that.
