Since we have been discussing UC getting IN to the Big 12, heres a small distraction until the 19th when they announce UC's invite ( wishful thinking) ... With 65 teams comprising the P5 , lets assume the Big 12 implodes, everyone scatters and the P4 becomes a reality leaving 64 teams.... what team gets left out when the music stops?(or teams if you think more than 1 doesnt get a spot and more than 1 school gets picked up)

I'd personally like to see a total realignment of the P4 with schools not pulling their weight relegated to FBS Jr. Playing big boy football isn't in the financial best interest of some of these schools anyway or in some cases schools choose not to put forth effort to be competitive. It's more tradition than anything. Sweep the slate clean and start over. Some candidates to drop: Wake Forest, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Boston College (?), Purdue. Private or small sports budget institutions. You could also argue Iowa St, Kansas, Rutgers. These are teams that are historic underperformers. Baylor should just plain be excommunicated and get the death penalty at this point after two incredibly nasty scandals. They stuff going on there makes SMU look good.Brent Wyrick

"First take: âÂÂThere is no question that the lack of expansion has hurt the Big 12 ". They make a good case for the Big 12 to expand because nobody there is recruiting well. Kansas is having a better recruiting class than Texas.

Recruiting SW OH is a much bigger advantage than Houston or anywhere in Utah. As the top three candidates for two positions are Houston, Cincinnati, and BYU - at least this bodes well for us. As an interesting aside, my take on the success of Michigan in Florida (same Rivals Take Two article) is that nearly any school should be able to recruit the Sunshine state well. A) there is a plethora of talent in the state and B) it's an easy sell to send coaches and assistant coaches to Florida.
As much as I don't want UC having even more competition for the local talent, seeing them in Norman would be more tolerable than South Bend or C-Bus...Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

I find it hard to believe there was a small faction of donors that tried to only suspend him for a year! Per this article, his ties with Baylor have been fully severed and he is seeking to coach again next year. SMH

The real drama is a number of the Baylor recruits have backed out and now committed to other b12 schools, particularly Texas. Talk about a dysfunctional situation.Comment

On a serious note, the one glimmer of light if all my reading on this is correct is that the b12 current members are leaving tv money on the table by staying at 10 teams. Without going into numbers, etc. if you consider they will not give any new members full shares in all likelihood the rest of the group could fare better with 12 teams. We'll see.Comment

Let's tie this Big 12 AAC mess all together. Baylor is interviewing Tom Herman from Houston for the permanent gig.Brent Wyrick

Not sure if you're kidding or serious with Briles. I've seen people float that idea both ways. I suspect a lot of players' parents aren't going to want to deal with Briles after what happened at Baylor. He may think he's getting back into coaching next year but I suspect he'll have a show cause penalty fairly soon. As an AD you'd have to be pretty brave or desperate to take on the risk associated with hiring him as an HC.Last edited by Lobot; 07-14-2016, 04:35 PM.Brent Wyrick

I know he is not the most accurate source, but hope he's right this time.
