Money East

Duke
Miami
Boston College
Wake Forest
Syracuse
Vanderbilt
SMU
Tulane

Money West

TCU
Baylor
USC
Northwestern
Stanford
Notre Dame
BYU

Why are you calling it money east and west. A lot of those schools would not bring any money to the table TV wise.

Bouncing ideas. The AAC has elite mid tier teams with room to add 5 power teams. Most schools are in major markets also.

Nobody really wants to brings those schools to the P5 level. FSU, UF and Miami will all do everything they can to prevent UCF from ever being a P5 team.

Supposedly this sec deal has been going on for a while supposedly their will be a announcement in 2 weeks

I was thinking more along the lines of SMU. I agree UCF will never happen.

The SEC would lose that lawsuit and so would OU. The lawsuit wouldn't happen though, so it's irrelevant.

Johnnie Cochran, that you? You think an Arbitrary state law related to college football programs is going to hold up to federal court Scrutiny? All they would need is to show damages, and have one judge rule In their favor, which Would be pretty easy because the law is based on nothing other than trying To preserve a college football rivalry.

 

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

In my opinion, this is all posturing because UT and OU aren't happy with how the Big 12 is handling things and they are just using this as leverage to get the Big 12 to act the way they want.

Which is what?

 

[Miami[]_[]Smoke]

Dude the ACC has been asking ND to join for years, they will never join. Why would they, the NBC TV contract pays them way more than they could ever make in this conference. Unless there is another covid lockdown and they need an easy path to CFB it will never happen.

ND gets $15 million a year from NBc. Acc teams make twice that off Tv revenue. Are people really this dumb to spew nonsense that is easily verifiable?

UF and FSU would each do everything it could to see UM knocked down a peg in realignment

Depends… if the scenario plays out like some have said and the west and east divisions get split essentially by the Mississippi River then you move bama and auburn to the east and you get UT, OU, Mizzou, Arkie, and the Aggie

If your LSU I’m sure your thinking you can dominate that west division and avoid the Bama/auburn game that usually derails a nice season

LSU recruits Texas too. Why would they want to make it harder for themselves to recruit that state? That makes no sense

 

[GeorgiaHurricane]

So there is specifically something in the Oklahoma State law that says if one sports team moves conferences, the other has to as well?

The Oklahoma legislators have to allow it I believe.

Why would it be harder? Lol

their gonna get their kids who want to play for LSU. Then if your argument turns to recruiting everyone in the sec loves to pick Texas over including Bama, auburn, Jawja etc…

I think the extra money revenue is appealing and they get let in though. When things look complicated ask yourself how does the money look.

But we aren't in Big XII. If the Big XII raids the AAC, then that's their call. I wouldn't be shocked if they did, people forget that basketball still matters, and KU has some pull there. Football would be iffy at the top end, but there's a lot of decent middle tier teams remaining.

Because now they have to compete with Texas A&M and Texas for recruits. SEC doesn’t need Texas and OU to get money. They need the SEC

If this happens it would be impossible to get a top 20 player from the state of Texas.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

FYI, there is no actual rule against OU leaving Okie State. Doesn’t mean they won’t sue, but there’s no law on the books.

LOL...it's about more than preserving a college football rivalry as there are definitely more state interests at stake than just the sports programs. I think they'd have a hard time getting that lawsuit out of the OK state court system and into a federal court's jurisdiction anyway, and no OK state court is going to strike that law.

Their only shot is actually convincing the state legislature to let the issue go, which might be possible if OSU has a nice landing spot lined up AND OU and OSU promise to play each other every year.

And they would fail. UCF becoming a P5 team hurts all three teams, so interests would be aligned there.

KU will go the Big 10. KU is not going to stick around in a conference with a bunch of nobodies.
