This is a huge reason why the move to indy was a good one.For comparison, 100% of UConn's first 5 weeks of the season will be shown on linear cable.
Or at least not as devastating to football as originally imagined.This is a huge reason why the move to indy was a good one.
Something happening at the car wash?

I'm told Texas A&M and Missouri would be a hard no. Only 2 more needed to block an invitation to Texas, OU.

The thought that anyone in the SEC would vote against adding Texas and Oklahoma (outside of maybe Texas A&M in order to superficially placate their alums) is insane to me. This would be the greatest conference realignment heist ever and I say that as a Big Ten guy.

Spoke to a few more sources about OU-Texas to the SEC. Few things. They are tied tightly together. A&M's very public objections are the strongest, and getting 11 of the 14 votes doesn't appear to be an issue. Things could move quickly. More soon here..... Yahoo!

Right - I can’t imagine getting 11 out of 14 votes will be an issue. Now that everyone knows that Oklahoma and Texas are willing to move alone, the Big Ten would swoop in if the SEC doesn’t close this deal. Greg Sankey is difference here - he’s the alpha dog in college sports

What do you think the Big 10 does? They have to make a counter move, right?

Really hard to say. I think the Big Ten likes Kansas, but it’s unclear whether there’s anyone else that makes sense to add with them unless it’s a harder ACC raid. Maybe an odd number of members isn’t relevant if leagues decide that divisions aren’t required for CCGs anymore.

I can’t believe Kansas adds enough value to the big 10 to even pay for itself alone.

Remember that KU’s third tier rights deal is 2nd largest in the Big 12 after the Longhorn Network (even more than OU). There are few basketball schools that can move the needle in Power 5 realignment, but Kansas is one of them. BTN is highly dependent on the hoops product.
It would mean that when the AAC falls apart, then those posters who constantly complained about leaving the AAC might finally shut up.What the hell would this mean to UConn, if anything?
Maybe a few more indy teams to play in football. Otherwise, not much.What the hell would this mean to UConn, if anything?
In order of likelihood:What the hell would this mean to UConn, if anything?
Yep and the difference between possibilities is geometric not linear.The difference in probability between scenario 1 and scenarios 2-6 combined is enormous.
In order of likelihood:
1) Scheduling opportunities for UConn, especially if more schools are pushed into independence.
2) Possible move of KU to the Big East, though unlikely in my opinion, since a refurbished Big 12 will still have better media revenue in the near term.
3) Possible move of ND to the ACC as a full member with UConn as a possible partner.
4) Possible move of ND to the B1G as a full member with UConn as a possible replacement in the ACC.
5) Possible conference expansion in the B1G or ACC without ND with UConn as possible addition.
6) Possible move of ND to the B1G as a full member with UConn as a possible partner.
But probably not much.
I only see KU going to the B1G if ND is the partner. That's part the reason I rated ND to the B1G with us tagging along so low. But yeah, it's another possibility.One more long shot. KU to BIG, partner comes from the ACC, Maybe Virginia, we fill the open ACC Slot.
You don't have to change divisions if you add an East and a West.I only see KU going to the B1G if ND is the partner. That's part the reason I rated ND to the B1G with us tagging along so low. But yeah, it's another possibility.
