The PAC needs to invite USC, UCLA, Udub and Oregon.
While we're at it, lets just go back to the alignment of all conferences in 1996.

You may aks "why that random date"....first year of the Big XII, and 4 members of that conference won National Titles over the 15 years from 1990-2005, our dear departed brethren Cornboys with 3.  

We're all old as dirt, but make the argument that things are better now.  Purely in $ to the schools, but, for fans?

Nah Arkansas belongs in the SWC, and Penn State belongs with the Eastern Independents.

1990

If superconferences absolutely had to form, then I was good with the B12.  I really liked it in its first incarnation.

I was excited at the time to get to play OU every year as a conference game, and I was especially excited to get to play the Mighty Huskers on a regular basis.

Have to wonder what might have been if all those Eastern indies listened to JoePa and started a conference, or if Georgetown, St. Johns and Nova voted to accept PSU into the Big East, rather than reject them.

Penn State
Pitt
Syracuse
Boston College
Rutgers
WVU
VT
Miami
South Carolina

Maybe Temple, UConn, Louisville?

I'm convinced, 1990 it is.

Although I very much enjoyed our games and series with the newcomers.

yup, you'd have felt just like me if the Sooners would have landed in the north and not played the horns each season
unfortunately, those things happen when conferences get too large

Yeah I know you were loving the first 7 or 8 years against the Horns that's for sure.

Indeed I'd have been pissed to lose the TX-OU rivalry as much as I loathe those dirt-burglars.  The loss of an annual NU-OU rivalry game was one of the chief foundational cracks that existed from the very creation of the B12 conference.

Shall we fire up the Hot Tub Time Machine and go back and fix it? No divisions, and you would have to have 3 every-year rivalry games to satisfy OU--UT, Neb, and oSu.  Seems UT would only need 2.  Gets tougher to designate 3 for all 12, though.  But it would have been worth trying.

I liked it when there was both the Big East and the SWC. It was only like a one or two year window.
