Colorado joining the Big 12 conference

I'm hearing Oregon State and Washington State might be coming to the big 12 as well. I didn't see that coming.

Scott mitchell was on the radio on my way home and he said (plug your ears SOW) that they might only get partial shares of revenue.
Don't shoot the messenger. Scott Mitchell said it not me

Thank god they got off that sinking ship. Shocking how poorly managed the P12 has been the last decade.

Fun to be back in a conference with BYU and TCU. Should be a super competitive conference.

Agreed and hopefully it will be a stable conference. I hope Yormark stays around for a long time. He is pretty sharp
 
Just read that part of the reason Yormark snatched up so many pac teams so fast might be because the ACC has/had expansion plans of their own. They were looking at 5-7 pac schools to add so Yormark stifled that plan. (Saw that in a tweet)
he is good at what he does

Don't know if that was the reason, but saw that about the ACC. It'll be nice to have a Commish that actually knows his job and does it well.

La la la la can't hear you la la

On topic, I think I'd grab Cal and Stanford before OSU/WSU before the Big 12/16/whatever. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to them joining, partial, full, or otherwise.

I have heard that stanford wont come to the big12 due to things like there not being enough research schools or academia focused schools in the big12 or something. Hearing they might take a stab at going independent? Cal is broke (way in debt) and sucks. I would take stanford over WSU and OSU but Cal does nothing for me. Honestly I think it would be best to stay with the 16 we have now and try to get some decent schools from the ACC. I know travel would suck but I also hear that having a national footprint is good as well. Im sure that the big dogs in the ACC (clemson, FSU, Miami) will get snatched up by SEC and big10 but there are still some fun and interesting schools leftover in the conference. If Yormark chooses to lean into basketball a bit more then there are a few nice additions in that conference. North carolina (I think their football has even been ok), Duke, Virginia (also decent football program). Louisville, pitt, syracuse have some good basketball and some big tv markets i think. Dont know much about those teams/cities to be honest and it could be fun to have some new teams to learn about. Of course Notre Dame is the biggest fish out there and will probably eventually land in the big10 but what a get that would be if Yormark could snatch them somehow. Appeal to their religious culture (big12 has some religious schools already with BYU and texas christian) and point out that it would be much easier to win the big12 conference and make the playoffs than it would be to get past ohio state, michigan, usc, alabama, georgia, clemson, oklahoma, texas, etc. Pipe dream but that would be sweet.
