Seems like the sort of rumor that Horns fans would start to make it seem like the Aggies were constantly running away from them.

No divisions in the big 12? :o


  • The Big 12 will not have divisions or pod scheduling. Each team will continue to play nine regular-season conference games.
  • Every Big 12 team will play each other at least once home and away over the four-year schedule.
  • Four protected rivalries will play every year in the new model: Arizona versus Arizona State, Baylor versus TCU, BYU versus Utah and Kansas versus Kansas State. By only having four protected matchups, Big 12 teams will complete the entire 15-team cycle in a shorter period.
  • The scheduling model was developed to prioritize geography, historic matchups and rivalries and competitive balance and was set up to balance annual travel by distance and time zone.

All joking aside, I believe the real reason the SWC conference disbanded is because everybody left.  Ark left for the SEC and Tex, Tex A&M, TT and Baylor left for the Big 8/Big 12.  TCU, SMU, Rice decided to join the WAC.  The only school left was Houston,  which decided to join a new conference called CUSA.  So the SWC just died.

Of course one of the keys reasons they all left is that they believed they could not get a decent TV contract if they would have stayed together.  8 Texas schools plus Arkansas.  Not a lot of cable TV markets there for ESPN.

The interesting thing is that 8 out of 9 SWC schools have now made it back to a P4 conference.  3 in the SEC.  4 in the Big 12.  1 in the ACC.  Only Rice has been left behind.
I had totally forgotten about SMUw to the Acc. 

So yeah, just Rice. 

The old Big East has a few wayward souls as well, in Temple, UConn and USF.

So next season, as it stands now, we'll have the top four conference champions with the bye, and TWO more CCs in the remaining 12.  TWO.

Now that we have only four G5ish conferences, that means whatever is left of the Pac gets an invite, or some other G5 team, two of them, they could be ranked 20 and 27th.  Maybe this is fixed.

Whatever became of Oregon State et al.?

Oregon State and Washington State have officially made a scheduling deal with the Mountain West for at least next year. There’s still the possibility of there being a Mountain West/Pac-2 merger or those two schools joining the Mountain West eventually.
The Mountain West announced MW teams will schedule seven games against league opponents with another being against either WSU or OSU in 2024. Those two programs wouldn’t be eligible for the Mountain West Championship.

For one year of this arrangement, the two schools would pay the Mountain West $14 million, according to Yahoo Sports. This partnership could also last until the 2025 season as well and, for now, only applies to football. Other WSU and OSU athletic teams will be affiliate members of the West Coast Conference in 2024-25 and 2025-26.
Of any conference that seems like the future home for Oregon State football, the Mountain West makes the most sense. Mountain West commissioner Gloria Nevarez has proposed to OSU reasons why the Beavers should join the league, per CBS.

So many of you keep saying that they need to keep patsies around for the creampuff wins to pad the schedule, and I said no, they're not going to dilute the money just for cheap wins. They're gonna find a way to get rid of the creampuffs. 

I'm gonna enjoy this cooking forum.

I am not sure how one could draw a line and say Vandy is out but Purdue is in, if that were the line, or Georgia Tech, or whoever else.  I suppose one could use the $$$ line, and would likely as not.

Tradition begone, I guess.  NFLlite here we come.  We may miss those Upset Saturdays when Vandys shock the world.

Yep. Neither Vandy nor Purdue bring the money. I'd say Purdue is closer being a larger state institution with a much larger alumni base, but it's also in a state where everyone who DIDN'T go to Purdue is a Notre Dame Football and Indiana Basketball fan. So we're out. So is Indiana because basketball doesn't move the needle for $$$.

There will be about 20-30 schools in this new league, and I have no delusions that Purdue will be one of them.
