Help me with game day activities
Go early, Uber to Scholz grab a drink, walk down San Jac to the West side of the stadium for Bevo blvd look at the vendors and grab another drink. Walk to the Eastside through the carnival midway games and make your way over the LBJ fountain. Depending on time either go to the tailgate or if there is a good act you can listen at the Longhorn City Limits thing (they announce the act a few days in advance or the game). I’d personally head to the stadium an hour early and spend a good 20 minutes in the trophy room and make your way to your seats at least 15 minute before kick to get the full game day experience with the band marching in and everything.

Realignment talk not going away
Circling games is like highlighting, if you use it on everything it means nothing. In the Big 12 everyone circled Texas and OU. The Iowa State lineman said it true last year, they cared about Iowa and Texas. Do you think it’s any different with Baylor, UH, Tech, or TCU? In the SEC that won’t be the case. Sure, Texas will be a big game, especially when ranked, but they all will have 3-4 other big games AND rivalry games on top of those. If you circle the teams on half your schedule then it doesn’t mean much. You can’t spend extra time preparing for Texas when you play LSU or Georgia or Bama the week or two before. That “little extra” won’t always be used against Texas in the SEC like it was in the Big 12.

I agree they tried, but that extra money they tried with had to come from somewhere… The jihad game is a real thing even if you do not want to admit it. How many SEC schools circled Texas this year? OU, Georgia, Arkansas, and aggy I highly doubt Mississippi St (Ole Miss, Georgia, TN), Kentucky (TN, Louisville, UGA), Florida (Miami, FSU, UGA, UCF, LSU) or Vandy (Bama, TN, LSU, UK) have us circled as a top 3 game on their schedule.

There is no auto playoff. Its the highest 5 conference champions.

The article missed that the MWC is going to be at just 7 schools not 8, as Hawaii only plays football in the MWC but they need 8 to retain their basketball bid, so the MWC will have to expand but they have two years after the 4 teams leave to figure it out.

Less content = less money The brands at this level aren’t really brands.

Keep their money and join/merge with the MWC. His point is that them joining the MWC and them taking the best of the MWC doesn’t really do shit because at that level it’s all the same. If they can take Memphis, Tulane, Rice, UTSA and maybe UNT then that is significantly different and better. But if they end up just taking Utah State, UNLV, and/or Air Force, then you spent $100million+ just to ditch…Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and San Jose State (they can drop Hawaii whenever they want). Seems irresponsible, especially with the price to play increasing across the board.

Realignment talk not going away
The late window draws an inflated number of viewers. It allows school like WSU and OSU to pull in more casual viewers than they have any chance to in the regular viewing windows. It will generally never pull more than 3 million (Colorado/Co State is the exception to this rule) but it allows team that would struggle to pull in a million during daylight hours to possibly hit 2 million with the right combination of teams and competitiveness. Now that every conference other than the SEC has a west coast team, you’ll see them take advantage of this and boost their viewership numbers as often as they can.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Another disappointment has to be K State on ESPN main not even pulling 800k viewers in a close matchup with Tulane. A highlight is that even though the FOX 230 game was shitty, it still pulled in 2 million viewers. I know I’m a broken record but that’s huge for the conference.

The PAC12 would ideally want to go after Rice, Tulane, Memphis (team with history and name recognition) plus UTSA (solid program and market) however the P12 TV deal and western travel doesn’t exactly seem appealing. I don’t think the PAC12 will drop lower to look at UNT or Texas St but the MWC might (especially if they grab NMSU/UTEP from CUSA as a stop gap). I do think SJSU is an interesting candidate. They fit and would be beneficial for the PAC, but I assume the PAC12 thinks that they might have an outside shot at getting Cal/Stanford back if the ACC explodes but know they would not want to be in the same conference as the Spartans.

Good luck with that exit fee. They also need at least 2 more to have the minimum of 8 full members. Surprised UNLV (30k enrollment, basketball history, good market) wasn’t on their list of initial candidates. Last spot for 8 is a toss up between Utah State (geographical bridge to CSU 25k+ enrollment) and San Jose State (major metro 30k+ enrollment). I’d take all of the above and try to add a Texas school like UNT or Texas State to recreate the Texas connection like they had with TCU. That gets you 10 teams for a 9 game round robin schedule leaving 3 OOC games, one for your P4 payday game, one for a G5 home and home, and the last for an FCS cupcake. Other schools: Hawaii is a pain in the ass for travel, New Mexico sucks at sports, Wyoming is tiny (10k enrollment), no one seems to like Reno, and Air Force is a wild card that could be good or could be a head ache. If this goes through look for the MWC to invite UTEP and NMSU from CUSA, Southern Utah and possibly non fb Utah Valley from the WAC to stabilize before turning their gaze at possible FCS upgrades from the Big Sky.
