What's this?

Agree and disagree


The footprint is not really a thing any more as conferences overlap so much. The local geographies and the alumni bases, yes, they will continue to follow a Big12 network.

The issue though is that they have lost the only two teams they had with a national interest, which is what draws the real $$$$$s. Outside the Big12, nobody cares about any of the Big12 teams, and they care even less about the new members who are in the middle of their 15 mins of fame, but a coaching change away from being right back where they were.

The ACC has struggled with this and that is why they have such a crappy revenue model. Clemson had national interest, when they were dominant, if they can't get back quickly, that goes away. FSU and scUM have lost their national interest because of too many years of being irrelevant. Blame the mouse all you want, but the reason the SEC, ND, and Ohio State and Pedo State are on all the f'n time is because people will watch and ads will sell. No one outside a small fan base is going to turn on Central Florida vs Texas Tech in prime time in Mid-October.

The Big12 is dead conference walking. It is the Big East after VT/BC/scUM left. It is done, they just don't know it yet and the mouse will milk the last nickels out of it before leaving it on the dead pile of history.
