Hmmm. So you goaded me over to take a look. I think the KU fans are starting to realize that the Big 12 is exactly what I've been posting, the new version of the Southwest Conference. Kansas has no control, neither does KSU, ISU, OSU or OU. All decisions will be forged in Austin, either by the legislature or the Longhorn athletic department. When SMU and Rice make the cut, you know the whole thing is dirty. It took two decades, but incestuous Texas politics killed the Big 12.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. -

The B12 requires 8 member votes to add a school. Internet rumors say BYU has 7 votes, Cincy has 6, and no other school has more than 2.
One of the thoughts about Houston being poorly received is that B12 schools don't want Houston in the B12 because of what that might do to recruiting in Texas.
If NYU and Cincy were added, it would be logical to from North and South divisions. the South division would have all the strength and the North division would have all the travel. The apparent logical exception to giving all the strong schools close games would be sticking WVa into the South division and Baylor into the North.
That North division would have little attraction for the P4 leagues. Within maybe 6 years, the B12 looks like it will cease to exist.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

Houston looking a little scary on the field today, also. Who needs that in the 12-2?
Edit: I've adopted a new name for them -- hereafter, they'll no longer be the "Big" 12-2, just the (not so big) 12-2, thus for convenience "the 12-2."Comment

So are you suggesting the new fault line in Oklahoma is the cause of the shaky football performance in the Not So Big XII?Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostShockerNet is a rat infested cess pool.Comment

It was formed this summer when Kevin Durant left OKC for GSW, so it is called Kevin Durant's Fault.Originally posted by Shocker-maniac View PostComment

Actually, I was intending to link to this article, but the article on the new fault line is appropriate as well with regards to the Big 12.Originally posted by Shocker-maniac View Post

That's the article I thought you were trying to link, but linking the one on the new fault was pure genius.Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostLast edited by Aargh; September 13, 2016, 04:03 PM.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

You know how boxing has lineal champs? The guy that beat the guy that beat the guy.....
It turns out that TCU had that football crown until they lost to Arkansas. SEC SEC SEC and all that.
But check out this chart and go back to 1936. I was surprised to see Wichita State listed. The Shockers beat Texas Tech to get the crown and gave it away to Fort Hays the very next week. A bit later Creighton held it for awhile. I looked for a long time but I never did see MSU or any of their other acronyms. No KU either but KSU held it briefly.
One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.Comment

Good thing the Big 12 let the ACC get Louisville.
They are really smart in ignoring Cincy, too.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment
