Conference Realignment thread

They could basically all agree to not schedule them for those two years and tank their SOS.  A 2-team conference is super frail if one of the two teams is bad then they won't be in the top 6.  

They have already said they won’t allow it. The SEC commissioner made it clear there is a difference between the NCAA rules and what the CFP will allow. The CFP powers have already clearly stated they will not accept the PAC as a 2 team conference.

According to this 4 schools would have never agreed to to Calford so regardless they would never have been added due to lack of votes:

Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Iowa State

JFC, dude. Despite being the fan of an FCS school, you were once a pretty good poster. However, some of the stuff you've been saying recently is, to be diplomatic, uh . . . unpersuasive.

Promotion/relegation IS intriguing but unworkable for college football.

Right. Much better for those of us in the sinking MWC to pass on the life raft and go down with the ship.

Oh wait! Our goal is to have THE MWC become an FCS conference and for THE MWC kick ass at that level.

In 2 years.

 

Unanimous vote.

It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level

The MWC is on the verge of merging with the PAC and becoming “the next best thing”.

Good thing pleasing your apparently specific tastes is something I don't care about. I saw something related to conference realignment show up on multiple forums and shared it, that simple.

They do it for HS football in CA now.  Your playoff division is determined through your non league schedule.  
Mu sons team was D1 last year, but will be in the DII playoffs this year.

It works ok, but takes some getting used to

I'm just saying it won't work for all of the college sports... maybe it could work for football but until football is separated from all of the other sports it doesn't make sense. jmo

I get that. But I could see them finding some loophole.

This is where I’m at as well. It’s just too much money for them to allow it regardless of how things are written. They’ll find a way out of it. If they can’t, WSU president might suddenly die of “natural causes” and need to be replaced on the board.

Mostly joking about that last part, but $300 million is a lot of money..

Not true.  The Friday morning prior to the PAC collapse, when it looked like they would all sign the Apple deal, SDSU was told they would be in and they were all set to be invited.  In fact, they had already written their public statement and were just waiting for the signatures that morning.  Of course, as we all know, instead of the meeting that would have everyone sign, Oregon and Washington instead announced their departure to the BIG and the PAC died and SDSU's path to P5 with it.

In San Diego's mind they were in, per the Pac Commish and president's going in expansion had not even been discussed because there was no TV deal yet and no GoR which is what they were going to try to sign on Friday which was wishful thinking on some schools parts.

You’re right. It was just over eager Aztec fans leaking the SDSU invite to the PAC for months before the Conf eventually imploded. They also forced the commissioners of the PAC and B12 to never directly deny that they were interested in or had extended invites to the school. Lol.

Well San Diego St was on a list for B12 just like Boise was, Memphis was and such.

The rabbit hole deepens. If those rumors are substantiated then wsu/osu is now looking at a whole new playing field..

I mean, the fallout might occur now elsewhere..don't know which schools are likely to depart from the Big12..and how sure is the MWC of standing pat in its numbers? At this point, isn't it a free for all? 

wsu/osu will only be concerned about retaining p status. there was always a chance that this would happen. wsu/osu are off the clock, waiting for legal decisions if anything. Army, Clemson, UNC, FSU..now all up in the air. Chips are falling.

 

I think Florida State & Clemson want to be in the SEC with Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc. The B12 will be looking at the Louisville & North Carolina with those strong Basketball brands and good football brands. The other schools are up in the air, of how they land. The ACC will have at least back fill with Memphis and Tulane. Of course, none of us really knows if Clemson really has the grant of rights beater set to be unleashed?

I would guess there almost zero chance of UNC ending up the Big 12. They'd rather stay in a much watered down ACC than play in the Big 12.

Big Ten or ACC may possibilities, but not the Big 12.

Homelessness is not that complicated.  Enforce the drug laws.  Enforce the violent crime laws.  Enforce vagrancy laws.  The situation gets 95% better.  Even the truly homeless feel safer.

I sympathize with the truly homeless.  But by the grace of God go I.  But the large percentage of drug addicts and violent criminals are a completely different matter.

Who would have thought that San Francisco politicians could breathe sanity into the homeless issue?  

Mayor of SF wants drug tests and proof of being in treatment before they hand out free services.  Sounds like a step in the right direction.

Now if they just start enforcing criminal laws for violence and stealing, they are well on their way to a better community.
