What's this?

Yes, but out of all the possible rematches

the Red River Shootout gives the Big XII the best chance to maximize TV ratings especially if the rematch is played at Jerry's World. Even if the other 8 schools have great seasons, they still don't come close to generating the kind of (national) buzz for the conference that can be generated by the 2 "elephants" (aka Oklahoma and Texas) of the conference.

Big 12 can have a CCG with 10 ** -- goldendomer 01/13/2016 5:19PM

Does this not also mean ACC could scrap divisions? -- BUGGZY 01/13/2016 9:31PM

No, the deregulation was for conferences 10 and under ** -- goldendomer 01/13/2016 9:37PM

Well then they should have to have 2x5 divisions... -- BUGGZY 01/13/2016 9:56PM

Nevermind, found it. it's not deregulation at all... -- BUGGZY 01/13/2016 9:59PM

In other words, they hooked the Big12 up and screwed the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 10:03PM

The ACC and the AAC blocked the divisional requirement -- Kansas Hokie 01/13/2016 10:16PM

Wait, wut!? i get not wanting divs...for EVERYONE, but why only Big12? -- BUGGZY 01/13/2016 10:39PM

Does this open the door for the Big XII to do what the SWAC -- VTHokie2000 01/13/2016 9:55PM

Not good for the Big 12...OU would have had to play TCU twice to get to the -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:01PM

An extra $3 million per is good news. And CCGs are often a good thing. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 6:22PM

Where are you getting that number? Also, -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:37PM

They said $25-$30 million dollars for a Big12CG from TV alone. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 7:19PM

Link? ** -- Stech 01/13/2016 7:29PM

Bowlsby said it -- goldendomer 01/13/2016 9:42PM

Bowlsby's smoking crack ** -- crabcake77 01/13/2016 11:18PM

Don't doubt it at all. Look what bowls bring in ** -- chuckd4vt 01/14/2016 01:00AM

Gross or net? There's a big difference. ** -- Stech 01/13/2016 9:57PM

They keep the TV money, tickets and merchandising will cover most costs IMO -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 10:01PM

BIG win for them & a loss for the ACC. Big12 may end up number 4. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 5:40PM

Nope. Exact opposite. Look at the forest, not the trees. ** -- marcbvtgm 01/15/2016 09:27AM

I don't follow how this affects the ACC at all. -- HOO86 01/13/2016 8:43PM

All of CFB just rejected the ACC's proposal... -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 10:08PM

Is it because the ACC is still viewed as a "basketball conference" -- VTHokie2000 01/13/2016 10:11PM

I think the ACC just has sucky leadership. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 10:24PM

You just listed 6 of the 14 ACC schools in your new B12 eastern division: -- Hokie Dale 01/13/2016 8:51PM

Nebraska, Ta&m, Colorado, Missouri on line 1 -- Maroon Doom 01/13/2016 6:38PM

Yep, this is such a stupid idea, it's an insult to the word stupid. ** -- reestuart 01/14/2016 12:57PM

Bingo, it's the only P5 contracting. ** -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:46PM

UNC and UVa are not leaving the ACC. That's as probable as Ohio State and -- Stech 01/13/2016 5:56PM

B1G pedigree, money, organization and commitment >>> ACC ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/13/2016 9:48PM

That's why Swofford had to drag ESPN w/ him to Cville to convince UVA. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 6:18PM

You just said it, both FSU and UVa think it is coming, you should too. -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:44PM

FSU & UVA THOUGHT it was coming. I THOUGHT it was coming back in 2009. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 9:59PM

It's not just whether it's coming or not. It's how much money will be made. -- Maroon Baboon 01/13/2016 9:52PM

I'm not a fan of this decision -- OU_Sooner 01/13/2016 5:29PM

Big 12 did the right thing... -- 33laszlo99 01/13/2016 11:38PM

Yup. It's lame. ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/13/2016 10:01PM

I think it's a terrible decision. The rematch CCG does nothing to help -- reestuart 01/13/2016 9:38PM

The upside is the Big XII will get the money from playing -- VTHokie2000 01/13/2016 9:57PM

I think interest in a guaranteed rematch will be minimal... -- reestuart 01/14/2016 09:15AM

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the rematch -- VTHokie2000 01/14/2016 12:57PM

I just think 12-1 looks better than 11-1 to the committee. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 10:04PM

Yes, but out of all the possible rematches -- VTHokie2000 01/13/2016 10:32PM

If one B12 team leaves expect the others to follow and the GOR's are gone, -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:04PM

I think you guys may be on your way to a solid Eastern division. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 5:39PM

It makes little sense if they do a ccg -- goldendomer 01/13/2016 5:38PM

Just aren't any valuable teams available...unless they raid the ACC. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 5:43PM

Sounds like wishful WVU style thinking to me. The B!2 has the LHN hurdle -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:04PM

What are the prospects that the LHN hurdle -- Marooned 01/13/2016 7:51PM

Re: What are the prospects that the LHN hurdle -- 33laszlo99 01/13/2016 9:00PM

ESPN is not without recourse here. -- Marooned 01/13/2016 11:04PM

So Stech.... a little OT... some here think Texas will be ACC-bound... -- Calamitous 01/13/2016 7:07PM

Re: So Stech.... a little OT... some here think Texas will be ACC-bound... -- Stech 01/13/2016 7:30PM

I still think that if Texas does come, it should be with others. -- HOO86 01/13/2016 9:18PM

Re: I still think that if Texas does come, it should be with others. -- Stech 01/13/2016 9:45PM

Texas will only bring 1 friend: another Texas school -- ren_hoek 01/14/2016 09:38AM

It just makes sense to me to have that division -- HOO86 01/14/2016 01:10AM

Trying to wrap my arms around how the ACC can work around... -- Calamitous 01/13/2016 9:07PM

Virginia Tech's President Steger lead the President's vote for a playoff. -- Stech 01/13/2016 9:44PM

Good point ** -- Calamitous 01/13/2016 9:55PM

Not really, no more a hurdle than the ND and NBC deal. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 6:21PM

B1G network, are you saying Texas to the B1G? ** -- Stech 01/13/2016 6:38PM

Re: Big 12 can have a CCG with 10 -- goldendomer 01/13/2016 5:25PM

That's a nice $2-$3 million per school. They'll do it. -- chuckd4vt 01/13/2016 5:47PM
