Whatever gets you the win ;) .

But seriously I remember a RB and a WR opting out, maybe one or two others but I'm not aware of any other team opting out en masse like UF did in '20.

UNC had several out with COVID as well.  They were severely depleted.

I think the ags still probably win that game if the tar heels were at full strength, but not by much, and it's also possibly a loss.

It's just all part of the game now like injuries and suspensions.  Now it's opt outs and covid.  We had a bunch of players, and by that I mean starters and serious contributors opt out before the season started as I'm sure most programs had.  We had a starting WR, starting LB, and starting DB opt out before the season as I recall.  

Come to think of it I didn't notice if any of those guys got drafted.  I know one transferred to UF and will possibly start there this year.

So what was the massive unpleasantness with the UH board chairman last time around?

I'm really not sure.  I vaguely recall rumors that he was ruffling feathers and that's one reason the B12 didn't consider admission for UH, but I don't remember any specifics.

Big 12 plans to invite BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF to join.

Looks like the best plan at this point.  This would make a pretty strong conference

Still trying to figure out why those teams would leave their current set ups to play in the Big 12. The next media deal is going to be AAC level - with or without those teams.

When you look at the TV numbers, OkState, KState, ISU, and Tech all pull good ratings.  Better than pretty much every school in the PAC not named USC or Oregon.

They won't get current B12 money, and probably not even current PAC money, but they'll be by far the best of the rest.

According to Wikipedia UCF has an enrollment over 70,000. So their alumni roll may be low, now, but they are accumulating alumni. 

Based on enrollment, going forward, UCF will have larger fanbase than either of the two schools leaving the Big 12. And darn near the equivalent of both.
