Big assumption to assume that either the ACC or Pac12 would actually want OSU to join their conferences.LK4BU87 said:

Yeah, that ain't happening. But the rest of it was good.lakersfan34 said:Big assumption to assume that either the ACC or Pac12 would actually want OSU to join their conferences.LK4BU87 said:

I think this is exactly what will happen. Let the bluebloods break off. That leaves 90-plus Division I programs that still want to play meaningful football and whose fans still want to watch them play.boykin_spaniel said:

As bad as this was, at least the OU prez acknowledged OSU's existence. The tweet from Del Conte just slobbering over their renewed relationship with A&M was disgusting. No other P5s exist in the state but A&M and UT.
They won't abide by rules that are tilted heavily in their favor.TellMeYouLoveMe said:
I warned my TCU friends that this would eventually happen. The more country club, non-football folks didn't understand, but a few did and now they're seeing my point.
We can't be in a conference with UT, because they won't abide by rules that are even.
And yet, they have our tax dollars. Therein lies the problem.

I predict that the leftovers create a college football environment that more closely resembles pre-BCS college football with regional conferences and FCS/DII/DIII football with a vastly expanded playoff. I also predict that those who now fear the future will find that really damn fun.
It won't work unless they keep it larger than the 24-30 team league folks keep alluding to. That will be great short term and then will cannibalize itself. The other things keeping folks (outside of the respective fanbases) watching will be gone and honestly if its semi-pro at that point, the quality of play is pretty weak especially in comparison to the pros.thomasjurisd said:
I'm not sure this AAA concept for football works out for the big state schools in the long run. Football is not baseball and the difference between teams practicing together and developing athletes to work within a specific scheme over years may be a difference that hasn't been thought out. How long does the average baseball player spend in AAA hoping for a call v. a typical blue chip QB or WR who spends 3 years at the college level before going to the NFL? What happens when you have all of your best skill players leaving the big programs for the NFL each year? I wonder how a revolving door will affect the stability of football programs. Maybe even more than big name coaches leaving
