A senseless act of desperation now puts us in a horrible negotiation position on increasing revenue with the remaining members and/or a consolidation after 2025.

Of course the AAC Was listening to the members trying to find a landing spot and of course they were inquiring on how much each member brought to the table and how much their TV revenue would be worth with new members.

They want away from law suits because they know they’re coming. Tells me Big12 claims about ESPN and AAC were probably true. If true the move was probably advised by council and is a good move. Some people make decision that have nothing to do with what’s best for WVU and/or the soon to be imploded Little8.

The AAC is a G5 league.

The AAC is the last option and least desirable for BIG 12 programs.

The existing membership needs a PR campaign as biased media tries to attack them and devalue schools that remain with the BIG 12.

You see how he said cultural fit….
AAC is too good for Baylor. They would slam the door in their face
Why Baylor is the main school trying to keep the Big 12 together. They will have the most to lose

Well goes off the rails and into political BS, I agree with you 100%.

Baylor is like the drummer trying to keep the band together. All other schools would make the AAC respectable. IMO, more respectable than ACC. Clemson gap to 2cd place is too far. Rest of conference is avg except for UNC who is doing good things.

ESPN owns AAC so you won’t see any bashing from them and would promote them.

Whomever gets OK St and WVU boosts their conference.

If widespread election fraud happened it was for good reason. It was to protect the United States. End of story.
That would mean Trump was a threat.
Use your brain. By pushing this narrative you are pretty much saying our own government. People who serve and protect this country felt like he was such a national security threat that they would jeopardize our election integrity to remove him.

There is no reason to bring this topic up on a CFB message board

Baylor used political influence to push themselves into the Big 12
Similar to how they attempted to use political influence to keep the Big 12 together
Houston especially doesn’t like Baylor.
Don’t see any reason whatsoever for schools to block WVU.

I don’t think it will come to that. We will see where everyone lands

The big 12 without Texas and Oklahoma is nothing more than a G5 league on steroids.

PedoJoe is the fraud. People who support that clown are enabling the slow deterioration of the United States. Same kind of thinking has killed college football.

So leave it out. You brought it in as much as anyone. My political and religious convictions are no one on this website's business. If you know my political affiliation you already know too much. If you know anything about me besides my sports opinions it did not belong here. I live in Carolina, so there is that.

Just fear
I can control how you vote by using fear

This is why it has no place here. This use of fear in our elections has caused the political parties to hate each other. More than that not trust the other side when they are in power because they are destroying the United States

It is true there are no blue bloods left in the conference. 6 of the original members have left that should tell you what the members and networks actually think about the conference. The remaining members want to leave as well they are just hoping that they get an offer from somewhere else.

You really are an insecure little critter. Bump this when the Big12 implodes. Or better yet when/if WVU gets stuck with these leftovers in a peep squeak conference making $7-$12 mill per year. Homers are adorable.

The ACC without Clemson (which is a when not an if) it will be worse than the AAC. The Pac12 is already worse than the AAC. The rest of the ACC hides behind Clemson because they suck and have no merit on their own.

All a bunch of bunk.

WVU alone is the 15th winningest program in the nation. Just because they exist in a small population state doesnt minimize their success.

Thats ahead of such programs as AtM, Florida, and many other major programs.

Their teams have defeated the SEC and ACC champions and BIG 12 champions over the years. Most schools in the nTion havent accomplished that.

The BIG 12 remaining schools have as much or more football success than half the schools in other power conferences.

While it would be advantageous for some to minimize the strength of the core of the BIG 12–dont think the schools or the fanbases are going to accept such nonsense or the lowball $$ that go with that.

Fairy tale ending for WVU would be the BIG or the SEC. Slim chance

ACC is slightly more likely but odds are not good.

Odds are about even for the BIG12 to remain together or to see WVU in the AAC. Remains to be seen whether the BIG12 would pay more than the AAC. One of these is the most probable outcome.

Independence would be a scheduling and revenue nightmare.

What we would prefer and what is likely are not even close.

Yale is the sixth "winningest" program of all time. See what I did there?

Go ahead be my guest. How in the hell has Biden destroyed America? In a few years America will be booming with the infrastructure bills. The middle class is about to get a big boost. We as a country are in a competition with China and if we don't quit fighting amongst ourselves and work together to push the nation forward then we are not going to be the leader of the free world anymore. China is investing 9% of their GDP to infrastructure. Currently we are investing 1.5%.

4 million people quit their jobs in July alone because he is paying people not to work. Tells 1 thing does another. Wants kids to feel his hairy legs. Doesn't want Americans to decide for themselves. Not to mention he's a racist pig.

Did I mention the dementia? The man can't function by himself on a daily basis.

Sold out China and on the edge of being a socialist communist country

Biden avoiding dealing with China as being the source for this COVID issue is typical Quid Pro Joe. It needs addressed in a tribunal of world powers with their President answering some awkward questions in a public hearing. What they did is a crime against humanity and Biden will refuse to address it.

Even if the US recovers, what keeps China from doing this all over again? The fact that China was the only economy that grew during the pandemic is not an accident.

I agree that China needs to be held accountable but it just can't be the USA. The World Health Organization needs to get its head out of it's *** and hold them accountable.
