Little late for that. A year ago, they could have had their pick of Big 12 schools. Now they'll be limited to Mountain West options.

If I were the Big 12 I would invite Cal along with the Four Corners schools. Stanford is a carrot to entire Notre Dame to join.

I had the exact same thought. If I were the SEC, I'd definitely grab UNC and Virginia first because they're most likely to be coveted by B1G. I don't buy B1G going after FSU or Miami due to their lack of AAU status. Those two, plus Clemson, would be available to the SEC anytime it wants them.

Good luck with that. Helios won't be able to bail you out this time.

Did you forget what states make up the current Big 12? Not exactly a liberal paradise.

If BaD Radio isn't on from 3-7 p.m. ...
True, but not as bad as this version of the Hardline which does way too many golf segments.

The Pac is not adding f'ing Fresno. So many other schools make more sense. SDSU, Boise St., UNLV, and Colorado St. are all better options. Hell, even Wyoming, New Mexico, and Hawaii would be less redundant.

Bluey rules. We already (over)paid to see the live show when it comes to Dallas in January.

Why would B1G add TCU?? I get that it would give them a footprint in Texas, but it's not even close to being AAU. If Notre Dame wanted more private schools, Stanford, Boston College, and others make a ton more sense.

No offense, but fuck every single part of that.

Mid-Asian Conference?

Pass. No interest in taking VaTech or NC State without their smarter, big brothers, or Louisville at all.

You also heard it there last.

Cal may be too much like Stanford, who would turn up its nose to the Big 12, but there's definitely value in adding the Golden Bears.

Mountain West is salivating.

Enjoy your millstones, UO and UW!

SEC. It's geographically contiguous and home to our second and third traditional rivals.

Kinda like when the 16-team WAC got too big, and the better ones formed the Mountain West.

It doesn't, but they also don't care.

USC and UCLA to B1G. Pac is bork'd.

SEC may need to be proactive and look at FSU, Miami, Clemson, UNC, Duke, NC State, UVA, and VaTech before the B1G does. Though still no idea how you have a conference with 24 fucking members.

I don't see why. Once UT and OU leave, that puts the Big 12 back at 12 (imagine, right?!), and adding four more gives them a large, though not undoable, 16.

Interesting. If true (and that's a major fucking "if"), it's a opportunity for the Big 12 to be the aggressor and poach the Arizonas, Utah, and Colorado back.

Weddings during football season
This is why I got married in July. No football, no College World Series, and no pro sport playoffs. My guests did have to miss the Summer Olympics' opening ceremony, but they can crucify me for that all they like.
