OKC: Berry Tramel Says Nebraska Has Been Given A Deadline

[RE Tycoon]

. That would be a pretty darn good conference competitively-or they could expand its footprint ( but split it 16 ways) by adding from among UH, Iowa St., Baylor, Nevada, Fresno and SMU.

I don't like our odds if those are the choices. Something tells me we are going to get left out in the cold again.

I too fear we don't win with that list of schools. I can't make a bullet proof argument that we should be listed in front of any of those schools. They all have warts, but so do we.

yeah we really needed the MWC to take a hit-which seemed very likely a few weeks ago. Of course, Baylor over Colorado would be very bad for us too because Colorado would fit very nicely in the MWC. I think the Baylor Legislative Initiative will fail. The PAC ain't taking a "Bible School" run by an idiot. PAC will simply call the bluff and the Texas schools will cave.

I agree. Remember the notion that the PAC10 should take Utah and BYU was rejected out of hand, due to religious issues.

Just because Texas pols want it, doesn't mean the PAC10 has to accommodate them. Getting Texas is the only reason they would want five teams from the SW, but not at any cost. Like the Big Ten, the west coast elites have their conditions too.

ive stayed out of most of the conference talk, because no one really knows whats going to happen/when it will happen. As for the comment about KU, and for that matter K-State.... I hope both end up in a conference with us, new SWC or expanded CUSA. I have a hard time believing TCU will realign unless they are added to the Big 12, which most likely wont happen. I really hope when the dust settles we have a division or conference that includes: Houston, Rice, Baylor, Tulsa, KU, K-state, and maybe Tulane. Of course, I would love to have TCU in there but I don't see it happening.

I love this scenario. Take those 7 teams, plus TCU and make that one 8 team division. Then take Boise, Iowa State, and the 6 best remaining MWC teams (BYU, Utah, Airforce, Colorado St., UNLV, New Mexico) to make the other 8 team division. That would be a fantastic conference.

So where does Wyoming fit in your scenario. MWC isn't going to oust anyone.

SDSU is missing too. Kicking members out is not realistic, unless the Aztecs voluntarily drop FB, as hinted.

The won't drop if the are in an auto bid conference....

Didn't think about MWC adding colorado if Baylor insisted....I don't see the Pac 10 agreeing to baylor either...

At some point the Pac 10 will say screw the Texas BS and take utah and col. and be done with it...

I hope...

might not really matter to the PAC 10. After all, Texas is the plum in this deal. If they have to carry Baylor once again, so what? Baylor has better basketball (for now) and a good baseball program and it's not like Colorado has been highly visible in recent years.

I would expect the MWC to jump on Colorado, Kansas and KSU if both the PAC 10 and Big 10 expand to 16 as is being rumored

[NickSMU17]

problem with losing colorado and adding baylor is TV sets...


denver market means more $$$$s

Plus Cal and Stanford have serious problems with over-religious schools...i.e. BYU, Baylor....
