Thanks, on phone and link didn’t paste first time. I’m a rook.

So 2025 it is

I would make sure to write that date in pencil.

Great move for Texas and OU, sucks for pretty much everyone else. Our job just got even harder.

There is so much change happening to college football all at once. I’m just not sure most fans are going to like to end result, which I believe will show to be those teams that are good now, will be in perpetuity.

Doubtful 70million to 80million reasons why they would wait until then

If they go to that pod thing to help secure Bama in the playoffs I'd agree but if they leave an east vs west then I'd say no

I don't think they'll wait til 2025, they'll probably negotiate that amount down and OU and Texas will be in the SEC next season, just my opinion but that's how the A&M and Missouri deal went down, but we'll see. I hate it to be honest i can't stand either team

Bama hasn't need anyone's help to get in the playoffs.

I don't think the Big XII will still be around by 7/1/25.

I agree, but it does give time to realign all of the conferences and have a go-live date for the changes nationwide.

Unless the league implodes before then.

It's the right move. Bring in a couple more decent mid-tiers or better and let's get to where this is heading without the slow drip to get there.

Say what you want, but this off-season has been interesting.

I don't think the Big XII will still be around by 7/1/25.

I fully expected them to look at CUSA, MWC, and AAC to stay alive but then saw where the AAC is more likely to take teams from the BIG12 instead. It's going to die.
In the next couple of weeks, all other major conferences will be looking to make some moves.

They will start SEC play in 2023

If Texas and OU aren’t going to pony up to get out of the contract I doubt the others will. Unless, the penalty lessens each passing year.

 

[TnVol!]

Look for them next fall 2022.

It really is just about money. Time to just watch the NFL.

I hear this a lot but I don’t think it’s true.

That is unless they are in our newly aligned division or the rotation schedule increases to 9 games and the National title doesn’t account for strength of schedule and the CFP doesn’t expand.

Recruiting will take a hit but mainly for the top programs. We are still competing with mid tier ones.

Hopefully it dilutes Bama’s talent gap.

 

[allvol123]

Lol, people thought there would be no votes.

Did you think the football coaches were casting the ballots?
