POLL Big XII: Which departure(s) hurt the worst?

[BoiseStateFan27]

Nebraska is a national brand, I'd say they hurt the most.

Texas A&M is probably the second by default, but the Big 12 has the Texas market locked down with or without them.

I'll pick Mizzou though because now they're the SEC's black sheep that nobody really wants.

Of all the options you had, you guys took them.

They were leaving the Big 12 either way, if it wasn't the SEC it would have been the Big 10

At least Missouri might have prevented the Big 10 from taking Rutgers

I don't know what other options we really had. Personally, I'd be happy if the SEC still had 12 teams.

A 2nd school from Texas. You would have been better off at 12 though. I hate 14 teams conferences, so many teams go years without playing each other now

All four hurt for Texas b/c those teams were pretty much guaranteed victories for us, but in reality, the pain wasn't as bad after all. Once those teams left, the Big 12 members all agreed to equal TV revenue sharing, which was key seeing how Nebraska demanded unequal TV revenue sharing when the conference was formed and Aggy continued to vote in favor of unequal revenue sharing while they were a member. All members are now making more money than ever. The Big 12 had 4 members leave that had a combined 1 NC and 1 win in a major bowl game while they were Big 12 members. I guess you could say losing Aggy and CU also hurt on the academic side of things, as those two are AAU members. I'll also add losing Aggy hurt some more b/c those fucking idiots opened up the state of Texas even more to SEC recruiting. At least lil bro is a higher paid ho now......

versus Colorado...........11-7
versus Mizzou..............18-6
versus Nebraska..........10-4
versus Texas A&M........76-37

Total winning %........ .680

Texas all time winning %...... .707

Based on this info, Texas should have gotten BETTER after they left. What happened?

Some fan bases are arrogant when their teams are good.

Texas fans are arrogant when they suck ass, i.e., the majority of the last 9 years.

Heard this comment on XM radio this morning. When asked about the next round of realignment his comment was, "While none are really all that excited about expansion, once the first of the B1G, SEC or ACC goes to 16 teams, the other two will follow suit immediately." Guy said he has no idea what the two 12s will do.

My own research and speculations and attempt to figure out how four 16 team super conferences would work, I came to the conclusion that it will NEVER work. First of all, it would require the break up of the Big 12 which I don't see anyone allowing to happen, and it would require dozens of current FBS schools to either drop down to FCS or to form another division of it's own.

I think a system that is more workable, is either 6 or 8 fourteen team conferences. This allows for either 84 or 112 of the current FBS schools to remain as FBS schools.

Much easier for Big 12 to add 4 schools and the Pac-12 to add 2, etc..

 

[Neilcar]

So you're saying they are the only 2 that wouldn't lay down, shut the fuck up, and let the Whorns do whatever they wanted to?

Thank you for telling how I should feel. The bickering did stop once they left — you can’t change that.

 

[Neilcar]

We are arrogant all of the time. We are Texans -we are suposed to be arrogant

Should have been WVU in that spot and Mizzu should be in the BIG or B12

That would be fine with me.

Everything is bigger in texas.. Mainly the bugs and egos..

 

[Cafe_Puro]

I say mostly TAMU.. The other 3 are equally sub par on avg.. T&M has the most potential for an up side.. True CU had a spark in pac12.. Mizzou had 2 sparks.. Neb is still without an identity.. T&M has had more good than bad...

 

[wazzu31]

Oh shit, I totally forgot Colorado was in the Big 12 let alone forgot they are in the Pac 12. I guess it is just one of those easily forgettable schools.

God awful coaching is what happened. Damn son, did you just start watching CFB this year?

[LSU02]

No matter what, it certainly affected their ability to count...

 

[Texas Jefe]

Nebraska easily is tops. I’d say TAMU is second only because of the rivalry with the horns.

Of course, the horns fixate on TAMU now more than ever...

agree with your two, Nebraska and Aggies.

The second sentence makes no sense. If you lived in Texas you'd know that.
