Okay so Boise State joins the Mountain West Conference and now we get to play on that silly blue field every other year.
And the MWC is open to another school or two joining up should anyone be interested.
osborne and pearlman need a fire hose to power wash the sand out of their vag.
"it's missouri's fault. wait no, it's colorado's, oh wait, it's Texas' for not sharing media rights (nevermind that we voted with Texas on that so we could keep our own media rights), hey it's the Pac 10's fault, wait now, it's nebraska's weather's fault, nope, now that I think about it, it's the sunbelt's fault we're going to the big ten!"

you might be in the big ten, but you'll still be nothing more than a land grant offering nothing of substance above studies in bovine digestive tracts and porcine metabolism. oh yea, and weak ass football w/ no recruiting grounds now that you can't use TX or CA anymore :laugh:

Dear Cyclone alumni, fans and friends of the University,
In the past two days, the University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska have announced that they are leaving the Big 12 Conference for other affiliations. We are deeply disappointed in their decisions, and we are concerned about how those decisions impact Iowa State University.
Over the next several days, the presidents and directors of athletics of the Big 12 member institutions will be discussing options and potential initiatives that we may take in order to move forward in light of the Colorado and Nebraska decisions. Be assured, we will continue to do everything in our power to represent the best interests of Iowa State University in these discussions; it is also important to understand that actions taken by other member institutions are beyond our control.
We should never forget that Iowa State University is an outstanding academic and research institution with a proud history of student-athletes succeeding in the classroom and in competition. Keep in mind during the past year our student-athletes were first in the Big 12 Conference in graduation rates, and Iowa State has enjoyed our highest ranking ever in the Learfield Director’s Cup standings, which measures competitive success. But as all of the discussions about conference realignment illustrate, the future of college athletics appears to be less about academics and competitive success and more about money, as measured by television viewership and the associated revenues.
We appreciate your longstanding loyalty to Iowa State and certainly understand and share your concern for the future of the Big 12 Conference and the potential impact on our institution. Thank you for your understanding and, we will keep you informed as developments occur.
Go Cyclones!
Dr. Gregory Geoffroy
President
All I can say is the last football game I saw in Ames was against Nebraska and the score was something along the lines of 72-6. I don't think the Cyclones have improved much since then. A little less Nebraska wouldn't hurt.
ISU beat NU at NU the last go around.
Me thinks a little less major conference might do NU some good.

Here is what is totally wrong with all this and with so much of what the NCAA and presidents do:
How does ANY of this improve the game or sport for the fans, the students, or the athletes?
Will all this new money lower ticket prices, tuition or the need for state funding of university budgets? Will scholarships become a little richer for cover living expenses? Will athletes get better training and medical care? Will beer and a hot dog at the stadium cost less? Will competition on the field be any more compelling for fans and players?
We know the answers.
Run any business with so little regard for the ultimate stakeholders and customers and it will not last very long. They are adrift without bearings from their basic beliefs or genuine strategy.

The sad fact is that the college presidents (or the Big 10+1 and Pac 10 commishes) have been against a playoff for the sake of edumacation. Well, in the meantime a 12th game has been added for all schools, and now it appears that a 13th game will be added for the Big 10+2 and the Pac 10+? championship games. The hypocrisy here is astounding. :saywhat:

our ath dept. is fully self sufficient, and offers full scholarships, facilities, and training for every athlete in every varsity sport. It's why we have a limited slate of varsity sports. Go big or go home. That additional revenue pulled in from football goes right back into the facilities and coaches for every scholarship athlete at the school. Plus the ath dept kicks back a few million at the end of the year back to the university's general fund as a gift.
state only funds 16% of UT's annual budget, and that gets cut by 10% or so every 2 years when the leg is in session. the state sure as **** isn't funding anyone's scholarships, room, or board, they can barely pay the power bill.
as for other univ's pulling in general fund money to cover their athletics balance sheet, can't support that in the least, but not my fight.

Good for you and your fandom Ank. But how much will they be lowering ticket prices if they go to the Pac10? Will the people of Texas hold onto a little more of their tax dollars? Will the athletes get that next great MRI machine or the like? Maybe a little more meal money? Would they've gotten it anyway?
Texas sports is a success story rivaled by probably less than a half dozen other schools, no argument. But all this conference swapping will not make it or any other other schools better for the people who really matter.
the athletes can only personally receive what the NCAA allows, and we certainly max out on that, but the NCAA doesn't limit what the school can offer in academic and athletic support, all the trainers, equipment, tutors, and various counselors made possible with the dept's revenue.
it's not the treatment any regular student would receive, but even if the ath dept didn't exist, the rest of us wouldn't be seeing a any of the services made possible through that revenue anyway.
now I realize that most schools dont break even on athletics expenditures, but to me that's a personal problem. 20 or so years ago we told the ath dept they're on their own regardless, and they've certainly succeeded. if they end up in the red, they'll have to go raise the balance on their own. and 20 years ago UT athletics was anything but the cash register it is now.
taxpayers of TX barely pay anything in the first place, and every year that's decreased further and further. There are only 2 tier 1 publics in the state despite having the 2nd largest population. TX gives 2 ***** about education, and the university has gone about taking care of itself with both its own oil money as a result of a private gift in the form of west texas land w/ mineral rights, and also fundraising for the largest public school, and 5th largest overall, private endowment fund.
when the leg deregs tuition and defunds to 16% (to become 14% come February), all the while exappropriating 50% of every federal research grant awarded to the university for the express purpose of helping cover the state leg's overhead costs, the state leg and by extension the taxpayers can screw off if they want any say beyond statutory matters.

Texas Hold 'em up. (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5285680)
Texas stands to earn between $20 million and
$25 million annually in television revenue in the reworked deal, including money from its own network, according to Orangebloods.com.
The Longhorns network figures to generate between $3 million and $5 million, according to the report. Because the Big 12 has unequal revenue sharing, the deal will mean more money for Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma, who all would receive at least $20 million annually from the new deal.
The other seven schools in the Big 12 would make between $14 million and $17 million, doubling what they currently receive in TV revenue.

Texas turns down Pac-10; Big 12 schools have framework of deal
05:25 PM CDT on Monday, June 14, 2010
By CHUCK CARLTON / The Dallas Morning News The remaining Big 12 members are close to a remarkable comeback that will ensure the conference's viability of 10 members a source familiar with the negotiations told The Dallas Morning News.
Several small details need to be ironed out, but the framework of an agreement appeared to be in place Monday afternoon.
Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott confirmed that the University of Texas has declined an invitation to join the conference. The decision will preserve the Big 12 as a 10-team conference, assuming Texas A&M elects to remain. Texas A&M officials were deliberating Monday afternoon.
this better be a god damn negotiating tactic or I'm going to go all buckeyes on some couches and dumpsters :flame:

Seriously though, I think TX was looking to roll the pac10 for big time concessions in exchange for increased TV exposure for the conference. Turns out the pac10 doesn't have much to give, and TX was looking at being televised at 11:00PM or later eastern time for a bunch of its games. The big10 doesn't interest TX because they have equal revenue sharing, no matter how big or successful the school is. That doesn't fit TX's business model, even though they most likely would have come out better. So they stay put, and roll the remaining members of the big12.

There would've been 1 west coast game a year, the rest would've been the same old big 12 teams + asu & uofa. And there's no way network execs would put that game on at 10pm CST and miss out on the ad revenue of a daytime or primetime CST slot.

And how much money does the NCAA make off athletics?
Ank I don't disagree with anything you're saying and I feel your love for UT but you are missing my point. How does any of this actually improve the sport for the stakeholders who matter most? I think it doesn't.
I don't see how it worsens it. If the schedule removes Lincoln, Ames, Manhattan, Lawrence, Columbia and Waco, keeps Boulder, Stillwater, Norman, College Station and Lubbock, and adds Phoenix, plus a single cross-divisional west coast la/sf/pdx/sea trip a year, what significant detriment is there to the student athlete. Additional revenue is not a detriment on its own
And football money doesnt go to the NCAA, basketball tournament, yes, football is kept by the schools which is why the BCS still exists, control of revenue
And football money doesnt go to the NCAA, basketball tournament, yes, football is kept by the schools which is why the BCS still exists, control of revenue
March Madness is 90% of the NC2A revenue. The schools/conferences keep the jack for the foosball and hoops regular seasons.
BTW, the figures I saw today on schools revs was $138m for UT and $120m for The OSU. What I'd like to know is how UT earns ~$20m more than The OSU when BeVo's pasture is smaller than The Shoe. I can't see hoops and baseball earnign that much. :confused:

pac 16 would've had 2/3's of the winningest college world series programs, 8 of 15 teams w/ multiple national baseball titles (since CU is a buncha godless commies who don't play baseball). USC, UCLA, Zona, UT, A&M, OU, OSU in basketball. Football would've replaced Iowa St, KSU, KU, Mizzou w/ U of A and ASU, Nebraska's the big loss. 50% tier 1 schools.
and I could've walked 2 blocks from my front door to catch a train to see UT play at Cal Memorial or the Farm :(
what makes it even worse is that before we only had to play the b12 north 3 times/yr, now it's 4 times. and instead of ames, manhattan, lawrence, columbia once every 4 years, now it's every OTHER year. and on top of that, since there'll only be 4 home conference games at most, possibly 3 in the years that we're "home" for OU in Dallas, that means EVERY one of our 3 OOC games (reduced from 4) will now be a pay for play directional DII school like northwest louisiana technical state college for the blind and gifted since the ath dept needs home games to pay for that pretty new north end zone expansion. so I'd say that's worse for the players since they signed up to play elite D1 ball, and are now playing rec league.
Texan alum and alum wannabes like to spend more money to make up for their shortcomings. Everything is bigger/more in Texas.

If TX had gone to the big 10 without its other conference teams, I would wager that the red river game would still have continued.

what rivalries? we've been in the big 12 for 14 years. I don't consider iowa state, kansas state, and mizzou to be rivals or any part of shared history. UT didn't force NU to the east or CU to the west.
my school's rivalry history involves davey o'brien, doak walker, and sammy baugh. smu, tcu, the pony express, john jenkins' dirty cheatin' run & shoot, grant teaff, spike dykes, frank broyles crying in his soup after richard nixons hands over the '69 title trophy after Street & Peschel convert 4th & 3 in Fayetteville, UH whining about no respect, barry switzer spying on our practice fields, and jackie sherrill mailing recruits stacks of $100 bills through FedEx. the death of the SWC killed the former, and the latter would still be maintained by going west w/ the b12 south as a team. we played OU for 80 years out of conference, if A&M had gone to the SEC and the rest of us 4 to the Pac 16, I think we could've done alright playing A&M out of conference all the same
the school and ath dept should be doing everything to better provide for their primary constituents. the implication that UT's, or any other school's, functions & future should be beholden to tv viewers half a country away is bogus.
The day after turkey day has never been the same w/o Big Red N and OU playing. :(

the only reason that rivalry even existed in once every 2 years form after 1996 is Stanford's "no" vote to UT in '94. otherwise UT & CU are in the Pac 10, A&M in the SEC, and the big 8's tv contract w/ abc/espn was to expire w/ no renewal, leaving the rest of the Big8 scrambling every which way, likely NU or OU to the SEC to pair up with A&M since the ags were already in provided they bring a partner. the expiration of the Big 8's tv contract and the sizable future reduction of the SWC's is why the Big XII shotgun marriage existed in the first place
the stress has gotten to ag AD Bill Byrne :laugh:
Hey ***holes
I am a third generation aggie and class of '06. my family and I, including many extend family members have had season tickets at kyle field for up to 20 yrs.
We also tailgate spending a lot of time and money during the fall in college station. That all ended today
We are canceling our season tickets and will never again donate to the 12th man until there is all new board of regents minus Gene Stallings, a new ad, new president (that guy is a disgrace).
Dollar bill, I hope you have time to pull your tongue out of dodds butt to read this email
Sincere regards
Bill calls the guy and leaves a voicemail:

hat rivalries? we've been in the big 12 for 14 years. I don't consider iowa state, kansas state, and mizzou to be rivals or any part of shared history. UT didnw't force NU to the east or CU to the west.
my school's rivalry history involves davey o'brien, doak walker, and sammy baugh. smu, tcu, the pony express
Okay, I'll bite. How does the Pony Express tie in with anything Texas?

U of Chicago most certainly means Northwestern in the above post.

b/c UC was an original BigTen member they remain a member of CIC, an org of the Big Ten schools + UC where departments team up and submit joint bids for research grants. by teaming up diff dept's bring diff strengths to the bid for a given grant, results in a pretty good award rate, better than if every dept went at it on their own.

Except that NW was also listed.

I don't know. They may be the favorite in their first year, what with U$C sanctions and Oregon's various problems. Go Utes!
did you say "utes?"
uh, what is a "ute?"

I like pulling peoples chains w/ the U of C as a Big Ten (+2) member.
The Big Ten (+2) is the athletic conference of the CIC. In the grand scheme of things, that doesn't mean a whole lot. I guess that gives the illusion of some grand academic cohesive something or other.

so upon hearing news today that Grant Teaff, head of AFCA, is excluding U$C from the Coaches Poll this year due to major probation & bowl ban, I got to reading an old thread. I'm going to sprain my arm and give myself a pat on the back for my clairvoyance :D

since when is "bashing" defined as a detailed catalogue of events? I believe "exposed" would be the better word here, and if Coach McNair knew about it, prepare to burn.
