That list is so ridiculous. Colorado is most popular in Wyoming but not Colorado (K State holds the honor). Illinois may be ridiculed in their home state, but no way is Missouri more popular (Notre Dame could also be #1). Lots to laugh at on this list.

My personal favorite is that Vermont's favorites schools are Florida Atlantic and Virginia Tech.

How the heck is Florida Atlantic one of two favorites for a Northeastern state?

You missed Rhode Island as its favorite school was Ole Miss.

I sorta get that.  Ole Miss is often at least good.  I don't know why Florida Atlantic would be your favorite college football team if you were a Florida Atlantic alum, let alone a random resident of Vermont.  Is their coach from Vermont or something?

Small barriers for powerhouses like the B1G and SEC. I don't think the ACC Network will launch, and if it does, I dont think it will be successful

I have a more positive outlook on this issue.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Big 12 has cut its list of schools being considered for expansion.

Air Force
BYU
UCF
Cincinnati
Colorado State
UConn
Houston
Rice
South Florida
SMU
Temple
Tulane

Unclear if Memphis made the cut.

East Carolina, UNLV, Boise, NIU, Arkansas St, New Mexico, San Diego St all get the ax. No idea why Texas wouldn't be interested in coming to DeKalb every other year.

Yeah no kidding.  This is getting embarrassing for all parties involved.

Being the only conference out there currently considering expansion, I guess the Big 12 is comfortable enough to be a little arrogant.  If they had some competition for these schools, I'd think that this process would be moving faster and with more discretion.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Especially since "no expansion" is still on the table.

All of this rigamarole is also a reason to keep the Big East as a collective of private - aka non-FOIA-able - schools.

I don't think they're being arrogant.  I just don't think they know what the hell they are doing.  I think membership is divided, I don't think the television partners are fully on board, I think they have expansion criteria that is all over the place.

The B12 has been beset by leadership failure from the start of all of this.  Kowtowing to Texas drove four, large public universities away.  They were replaced by a private university and a public university far away from its geographic footprint.  They have made stupid, reactive decisions from the beginning and this is just a part of this trend.

The B12 suffers from what some might diagnosis as delusions of grandeur. As a P5 conference they are the weakest of the 5 in both football and basketball but they think they're as strong as the others. So they act/negotiate as if they are the B1G or $EC and this is the result.

The way they bowed and scraped to Texas put them in this position so it's great seeing them get their comeuppance.

Which ones do you think they'll take to the Fantasy Suite?
