    Y’all played Kent State & are about to play New Mexico.

    I think the schools should explore a 1:1 to see how it goes. The schools couldn’t be closer and it would have been a great game this season.

    Btw, what’s up with your scrubby backup QB? You would think y’all could do better than that lol

    Give one good reason why a PAC school would join the Big 12.

    I cannot summon one, even with my most rose-tinted glasses on.

    For more money, sure. Comparable money? No way

    Not everyone loves being told "we have to wait to see what USC says" and "yeah hang on, USC is running late and we can't start until they get here".

    With the exception of Nebraska, Colorado & TAMU - the other Big 12 teams had no problem being UT's b****. They would snuggle up to USC just fine.

    How funny would it be in the unlikely scenario of Nebraska and Colorado coming back to the big 12 now that Texas is gone.

    To me, the Big 12 is a joke. Has been for a while. But if those 2 teams went back, as crappy as they've been, it'd be HUGE for the conference. At that point I'd give them some respect. They'd just need a real commissioner.

    Just asking...what about Nebraska or Colorado has been impressive to you since they left the Big XII?

    On the field? Nothing. They suck. Investing in facilities? I don't follow that.

    But either way, their programs are much more important compared to UH, Baylor, etc... that's all there is to it IMHO.

    If it's on the field accolades you want, not a ton come to mind. But like... Nebraska has a better record than UT (Tennessee or Texas, take your pick) over the past decade. And either of those teams would immediately become the Big 12's most important program, after BYU. Lulz.

    so they want a 16 team conference? it might be just diluted if that happens.

    Maybe but I would hope the team that makes it out of that conference undefeated can pull their weight in the playoffs.
