Does SDSU and BSU view themselves as options for Pac12 if they loose schools? assuming brown meant the american? i think a lot of mwc people are clueless to who they think they can attract if they lose 4-5 of their best schools...schools will not be jumping to join wyoming, utah state, nevada........ why is uab even on their list.....gimme a break.

I don’t think the AAC is a step up for the MWC. Heck the MWC is the new P6 this year with all their wins over the P5. Air Force and CSU only leave for the Big 12, Boise and SDSU only leave for the PAC 12, 4 teams leaving leaves a gaping hole for Montana’s and the Dakotas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AAC took a major hit loosing those three schools. They might be able to reload. But, I can see schools in the MWC and USA looking at their current conference and thinking a move to AAC as a lateral move. The only way that the AAC consolidates back to a position of strength is if there are assurances of a P6 type of status or absolute promotion/exposure guarantees from ESPN. Then you would see all the remaining strength in G5 consolidate into an east / west configuration (super conference or two conferences). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yote 53 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I would rate the Big 12 the top G conference. Don't kid yourself, when this all shakes out the Big 12 will not be recognized as a Power conference because they added four G5 schools. When that Big 12 TV contract gets renegotiated they are looking at a serious reduction in revenue. That was already going to happen and was the impetus for Texas and OU to leave the Big 12. The Big 12 wanted to start negotiations and ESPN said no. Then OU and UT got a peak at what the numbers were going to look like from ESPN if they stayed in the Big 12 and that made the decision to bolt to the SEC that easy. There will be 4 Power conferences and 6 G6 conferences left when the dust settles. The MWC schools would be wise to just hold together for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MWC has owned the PAC-12 this season in their non conference match ups. The Big 12 may not be the top P5 conference but they are much better than any of the G5 conferences and it’s not even close. Their tv deal may go down but they won’t be joining the G5……… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big 12 can call themselves whatever they want, P5 or G5, but if there are only four involved in the BCS Championship it won't matter anyway.

If a Big 12 team goes undefeated with good non conference wins I don’t see them being left out of the playoff. Well at least if the NCAA holds off letting the SEC pay their players for the foreseeable future………. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonadub Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 As for the Big 12’s new tv contract, they added 3 nice population centers (Houston, Orlando and Cincinnati) and one with a reasonable national audience. They might have been more shrewd than than on first look in who they added. That said, it doesn’t do much for them to continue to be considered a P5 conference. imho, the Big 12 should have pursued a merger with the PAC 12 instead of picking up so many G5 schools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yote 53 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's all about the money. Money feeds the AD machine. The current Big 12 schools are not going to be able to keep funding their football programs at current levels when their TV money goes from $30 million to $15 million. They are not going to be able to fund capital improvement projects. Most importantly they are not going to have the budget to attract and retain coaches, the recruiting budget, etc. At the same time the other Power conferences, especially the BIG and SEC will be signing new media rights deals approaching $80-90 million. It's a simple as money = competitive advantage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
