MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Kansas has their GOR with the Big 12.

The conference already looks pretty good without these editions in bball but fball would still look pretty bad.

does kansas have a big tv market

Vast.

LOT of KU fans in chicago

I wouldn't put anything past delaney at this point.

Is he trying to force an ACC-Big12 merger, in order to facilitate his desire for four national 16-team superconferences? Could be.

When he "caved" in the college football playoff negotiations, was he actually looking down the road to a time where these four superconferences would be supplying the semi-finalists, and the Big Ten would get the Rose Bowl anyway? Could very well be.

Is he vindictively trying to fuck over notre dame by sticking them with a bunch of irrelevant rednecks? Probably.

the biggest tv market left is atlanta

I'd be surprised if the BT took anyone from the west. Other than there not being a lot of value in TV dollars, (KC already has a BT presence), or recruiting, 16 teams would likely mean four-team pods. We already have a made-to-order western pod among Nebraska, iowa, Minny and wusconsin.

I think UVa is likely the next target, then MAYBE unc. If we can't get them, then GaTech. Put the three ex-ACC schools with IU, (fellow rednecks), put Purdue with o$u, PSU and Rutgers, then pair up the MI schools and the IL schools. Viola. I should be commissioner.

don't want Kansas

I don't know but I wish that Michigan State could leave for a place where they don't get dicked over like they have.

I have to think the endgame is getting to 15 and giving ND yet one more chance before locking down at 16 (for a few years).

I guess I'd take those two schools. But it also wouldn't surprise me if the conference let speculation run rampant for a while just to let ND think that the conference is going to go to 16 and close the door on them ever joining. Might get them moving a bit, because we probably just started another string of dominoes falling. ND is going to be left standing alone while the B1G universities are sitting there counting their chedda.
