Around SBN: Is Adebayor About To Become A Full-Time Spur?

After nearly a week of speculation, the Big XII's manifest destiny is the Pac-10, according to ESPN.com's Ted Miller. Citing multiple anonymous sources, Miller reports Colorado has already received an invitation to join the Pac-10, while the other five oft-rumored schools (Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State) are expected to be invited as well.

The Big XII, as we know it, is all but defunct.

I will believe it when I see Mike Garrett sheepishly and embarrassingly admit to the punishment and the wrongdoing. I hope we get to find out exactly what happened and who knew about what was going on when these events unfolded.

The report is going to be released tomorrow. They also lose 20 football scholarships.

A two year bowl ban and a reduction of 20 scholarships seems extremely harsh.

I just cannot bring myself to believing something this harsh will be levied against USC. If it does, I cannot wait to see what they did to deserve this

Well, over at BN they’re talking about USC being considered “repeat offenders”, which would bring out a bigger hammer. Which the NCAA apparently used.

I also read if the Pac-16 does get formed

They will try and get two automatic BCS bids and eliminate a Conference Championship game so there could potentially be a Pac-16 National Championship

So here is the million dollar question...

So what does the SEC and Notre Lame do now?

Sit by and watch the Big Ten and Pac 16 get that much bigger, stronger and fatter in the wallet, or do they now jump into the game and throw a counter punch at this whole thing?

Say the SEC tells A&M, Oklahoma, Ok St and TCU that the’d be great fits with them. Now we have to find 3 replacements. Does Notre Lame finally get off the snide and cave to the Big Ten’s courting? The ripple effect of this is just starting.

If this goes down, I don’t see those two powerhouses letting everyone else around them get richer and stronger without doing something about it.

The SEC could screw this all up by making a power play for Texas, but they also can easily raid the ACC if they want to build their own mega-conference. I’m worried, but it’s probably just because with something this big and crazy, SOMETHING has to go wrong, doesn’t it?

I don’t think Texas wants anything to do with the SEC due to academics and other issues. They fit better with the Pac or Big Ten, but the Big Ten doesn’t want them to bring all their problem children (Tech, A&M, Baylor) with them. So I think Texas is going to go if this thing implodes.

I could however see the SEC going after OK and OK St (maybe even Mizzou) but in the end I think they’ll just expand from within (FSU, Miami, GT).

Personally, I’d love to see Notre Lame wait too long to join and then get relegated to the MWC where they have to play Boise every year. Could you see the look on Notre Dame fans faces when they realize they have to play on the blue turf?

Notre Dame's Strategy

The SEC raiding the ACC actually works perfectly for the Irish.

Notre Dame joins forces with Army and Navy, and offers inviations to Boston College, Duke, and Virginia to form the Good Ole Days Conference (or GOD for short). Lou Holtz and Regis Philbin are made co-conference Commisioners. The remainder of the ACC merges with the Big East.

Given the small size of the GOD and the need to fill the schedule, an agreement is reached with the NCAA for an interconference arrangement with the Ivy League scools where each team from the GOD plays 4 games against Ivy League teams.

The GOD successfully lobbies for rules changes that apply only to the conference (and home interconference games). The goal posts are moved to the front of the end zone, two-point conversions are eliminated, and visors on helmets are banned.

The NBC deal is easily renegotiated for the conference as Dick Ebersol can’t believe his good fortune; the GOD fit’s perfectly into the network’s target demographic. The last game finishes at 8:00pm Eastern every Saturday. Play-by-play on the prime time game is done by Matt Lauer with Colour from Jay Leno.

The deal is struck with the BCS for a bowl bid for the conference champion along with the caveat that if Notre Dame finishes in the top 3 in the conference it also gets an automatic BCS bid. If it doesn’t, the Irish get to pick whichever non BCS bowl they will play in.

Dear Lane,

For your sake, stay away from the maple bars in L.A. God knows what they put in there.

Also, you’re welcome. Now you have an excuse for losing.

It’s a huge boost for Fox Sports, but unless the BCS changes its format, won’t it pretty much be the same?

by grimc on Jun 9, 2010 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

The BCS and change.

Whatever happens, the BCS will probably change by moving the BCS championship game back about three more weeks. Then we can have BCS Saturday and Super Bowl Sunday all in one weekend…followed by the Wonder Bread Dough Boy Bowl the Monday after featuring #6 from Conference USA versus #7 from the ACC.

TV contract is going to be renegotiated next year. Part of the driving force behind Expandageddon is Fox wanting to create a conference network for MegaPac.

I don’t really either, and they’ve pushed this online, but I haven’t seen them pushing this on their network. That’s mainly been:

Lebron
Kobe
Favre sneezed
Baseball highlights
Favre wiped his ass
Lebron wiped Favre’s ass
NBA Finals
Stanley Cup? lolwut?
Lebron

Of course, I don’t watch the mid-day programming, so maybe they’ve been covering this ad nauseum in earlier time slots.

Wanna watch ESPN go apeshit? Start a rumor that Lebron wants to go back to college and play football in the Big-Pac-16. Probably tight end, looking hard at UCLA, Oregon and Arizona.

31-6, 45-21, 34-14, 55-34, 44-10, 43-19. Do you see the pattern?

Tim Tebow has one year left, he’s going to Notre Dame to play QB one more year with LeBron at TE and in the Double Wildcat. That’s where both of them line up in the backfield and get stuffed for no gain.

Bret Favre is going to coach them into the Finals against Kobe and Kevin Durant. There’s probably some stupid baseball shit too.

I dont either.

Perhaps our new omega-conference will give us a little more coverage…But probably not, ESPN will just ramble on about where LeBron would have committed had he not gone straight to the pros. Up next on ESPN, would LeBron have gone to Ohio State had he opted not to go pro?
