A&M to Big 10 rumor

[Firebirdparts]

Well, now, that's not a boring rumor.

 

[MHS Rebel]

I saw a podcast last week that had 7 10 team divisions from the CFP meetings. Each of the 7 were divided by geographical region.

Guess what? The 7 looked very similar to the old PAC 10, Big 8, Southwest Conference, Big 10, SEC & ACC. It would be so ridiculous that we end up right back where it all started.

I saw it too. Too logical to ever be implemented.

 

[JO VOL]

Wrong

What is east about Texas or Oklahoma. Let me help you…Nothing.

Didn't it have Florida in the ACC? I'm sure Gator fans loved it

The geographic center of the CONUS is Lebanon, KS. Both Austin TX and Norman OK are to the east of that longitude. Columbia MO is to the south of that latitude.

Of straws and grasping at them

Yeah, greed (SEC & Big10 won’t give up any TV money) & lack of foresight will kill it. NCAA isn’t staffed with brilliant forward thinking people as evidenced by the situation today.

We need to rename our conference. The southeastern conference no longer applies with texas and oklahoma joining.

When they let A&M and Mizzu in it should have been renamed.

 

[hog88]

I believe this one to be true. I don't believe for a minute that A&M is ok with that school from Austin joining the conference. I live in Big 12 country and letting that school from Austin into the conference was a mistake.

Agreed, TX has destroyed every conference they have been a member of.

They might be too much of a cult for the B1G

I’ve been to a game at Penn State and they are weird AF. Not surprised

 

[LouderVol]

Is A&M an AAU school? people have been saying for a while that is a requirement for membership, and that the Big 10 is only looking to add schools who are at that level.

Nebraska isn't an AAU school. They lost their accreditation the same year they joined the B10.

Every school is a cult, including us.

This rumor makes sense when you look at the academic requirements at aTm. Good strategy by the B1G to expand their media market. ESPN would love this. Their commissioner is winning the chess game with the SEC. I could see them going after UGA, Miami, or Florida next. They have higher academic standards also.

Both Texas and A&M are AAU.

Nebraska is looking to consolidate their Lincoln and Omaha campuses into one to get their AAU status back

 

[Volfan76]

Not buying it. Who the heck is Greg Swaim? This looks like some freelance journalist trying to make a name for himself.

Or just kick out the schools not in the southeast.

Is that what happens with butt chugging?

They're east of the Pacific and south of Canada.

But some more than others. I worked with some PSU fans in NoVa in the late 80's and 90's. Most of them had an unnatural infatuation with Paterno. It was like they thought he was actually divine.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I’m not sure. But I’m sure that was a very small group of individuals in a fraternity. aTm people think this is cool.

 

[VolTull]

Agreed, TX has destroyed every conference they have been a member of.

All by their lonesome.

Amazing.

I guess we’re in the slow parts of the offseason.
