Not at all. We were discussing the biggest of the biggest games and now we've proven that the SEC doesn't belong in that group.

You go touting the SEC on CBS as a big game...which yes we all agree it was. But it's on CBS, guess what? CBS only broadcasts SEC games.

herp derp, try again

That wasn't limited to CBS. It was across all networks.

The four most watched college football games of any kind on any network last year did not contain a single team outside the SEC.

Most watched regular season game? SEC
Most watched conference championship game? SEC
Most watched BCS bowl? SEC
Most watched non-BCS bowl? SEC
Most watched network game? SEC
Most watched cable game? SEC

Does that about cover it?

The year Championship Game ratings were an all time low the SEC was involved in all the highest rated games.

Yes, I think we all got it.

We've seen what you get when college football is all SEC.

Worst ratings ever.

I'm not getting why this isn't crystal clear.

The SEC teams are good and on a roll right now no doubt, but they don't compare when it comes to ratings potential with the likes on USC, UT, Notre Dame, etc.

Other conferences should try competing in football. They don't, but they probably should.

Texas Tech's Sept. 8 road game against Texas State may be broadcast on the Longhorn Network, an athletic department source with direct knowledge of the situation told RRS.com's Chris Level and Aaron Dickens on Thursday.

ESPN announced earlier this month that the game would be carried on one of its platforms, but did not specify which.

Tech learned of this possibility several days ago, and according to the source, is "adamantly opposed to playing on the Longhorn Network" and is "putting serious consideration into canceling the game and playing an 11 game schedule" this fall.

"We are extremely disappointed," the source told RRS. "Our hope is that the Texas State game will be played on a primary ESPN platform."

Last year the WAC recognized LHN as an official ESPN platform after the network agreed to air all of UTSA's home games.

I imagine Tech didn't even know this was a possibility when they originally signed the contract.

Bambi 06-22-2012 07:36 AM
They'll (Tech) just cancel the game, in which case Texas State or whatever will fold because the payout would be too much to lose. I can't see the LHN looking to air Texas State vs some random school.

So when Texas gets its way it's "Texas is the overlord".

When the teams have rational discussion about the proper way to proceed with the conference (tourney locations, airing high school games, broadcasting opponent games on team networks) it's "The Big 12 is falling apart".

Please, pick one. It's getting tiring.

It really doesn't matter how we get paid - CBS, ESPN, SEC Network.

All that matters is that Mizzou and the rest of the SEC will make more money than ku every single year from this point forward.

As far as I know Kansas has no problem playing on the LHN. KU and UT have been partners since the beginning of the conference and both schools have benefited with millions of dollars and championships because of it.

I'm sorry your school hasn't experienced the same.

What can you do.

Arrowhead asked why you couldn't quit the Big 12. I brought up the theory of separation anxiety after being laughed at by your conferences network.

I'm not understanding your misunderstanding.

He didn't ask anything. He made a statement that we can't quit the Big 12. I'll grant you that it was a stupid statement given the fact that Mizzou is currently a member of the Big 12.

The butthurt going back and forth like a tennis ball in this thread is hilarious.

Now out of no where the Swedish swimsuit team comes by and rescues the guys on the sinking ship while the guys in the dingy slam down their hats in discuss.

If everyone is going to be honest about it, it actually appears MU and A&M will be better off for the move as will the Big 12. It's probably a win/win in the long run.

Notre Dame olympic sports possibly joining the conference is the Swedish bikini team in your eyes? It's funny. I had never seen anyone say a single good thing about the Big East's arrangement or the cache of Notre Dame olympic sports until the rumors of this arrangement with the Big 12 started swirling. Suddenly, I'm supposed to believe that this is some sweet deal?

KU hasn't won any football titles yet, but they have won the bball title since being partnered with UT. The partnership has lead KU to being one of the highest profile schools in basketball netting them millions in media rights money and players needed to win it all.

UT's championship in football has lead to KU being a part of a very lucrative TV deal on the other side. Its a win-win formula for all involved.

I believe they also will be playing up to 6 games against the Big 12 as they slowly assimilate and the college landscape will eventually become 4 power conferences IMO. Don't forget the possibility of FSU also joining the Big 12. WVU will be a great addition as well. Like it or not the Big 12 will be better off in the long run. The one move that I think may actually be a mistake was Nebraska heading to the B1G. I think the B12 and Neb would be better off together.

If you take the blinders off for a second you can see where this whole thing is heading.

Right now? Alabama has won 14 titles under 5 coaches in eight different decades. I think that's a little more than riding high right now.

KU hasn't won any football titles YET - well, I'm sure it's just around the corner. Surely all this big 12 expansion has been a boon to recruiting. Ol' Charlie has quit his job as a bus monitor and has certainly been wearing out the tires on his Rascal bringing in coveted recruits from all over the nation. I'm certain they are on pace to have a breakout season, and beating a conference opponent within the next several years is entirely possible.

So KU had none of that before the formation of the Big 12? KU wont be winning any foot ball championships. Hell they can't even win a conference game. Give up on that dream. Also the TV deal has nothing to do with UT's NC in the mid 2000's. The TV deal is because UT is the biggest university in the country and the flagship school in the second most populous state in the US.

Coming out now that this was an ESPN decision and wasn't even set in stone. ESPN owns the rights to the game and decides what platform each game will be on. Texas has nothing to do with the decision.

Nice try though.

The association with a school as large and influential has helped the school stay in the spotlight with recruits, boosters, national media, etc.

Players like Kevin Durant, TJ Ford, LaMarcus Aldridge, etc coming into your building bring a level of play and excitement that allows for the KU tradition to continue and grow.

It's safe to say that with the smaller, lesser opponents that the Big 8 provided it may have been tough for Kansas to stay at such a level for so many years. I love being associated with UT except for that day they stole that football game from KU but hey, we're over it.

Players like Kevin Durant, TJ Ford, LaMarcus Aldridge, etc coming into your building bring a level of play and excitement that allows for the KU tradition to continue and grow.

It's safe to say that with the smaller, lesser opponents that the Big 8 provided it may have been tough for Kansas to stay at such a level for so many years. I love being associated with UT except for that day they stole that football game from KU but hey, we're over it.
But UT is not from a basketball perspective. They are that from a football perspective. But if a basketball recruit goes to KU because of UT's reputation in football then there is something wrong with KU's recruiting.

I'm not sure that can happen. Thing about the SEC is that there are so many good teams each with their own rabid (but in the end small) fanbase.

They are good on a rotational basis so there is never the opportunity to throw all the effort behind one team. Some years Florida is good, some years LSU, some years Alabama, etc.

Now if there was only one team in the SEC that could be considered the "South" team then I think they could challenge the numbers. Texas is Texas. Norte Dame is the Northeast and many other places. USC is the West.

Same reason Oklahoma can't get into the space with Texas no matter how many times they beat them. UT will always be the bigger brand. There's no question that over the years Oklahoma has been the better team. It's just that they don't have the population density of UT and it's enormous alumni base. An SEC maybe could do this if there weren't so many other options when living down south. That and the fact that Atlanta is really the only large metropolitan area it's tough to get the numbers that some of these other schools put up.

UT's focus may be football but they put all kinds of emphasis on bball. They just have the resources to pour into anything they want.

The high profile program that they have built and it's association with KU benefits both parties.

I'm not sure why you keep fighting this.

That doesn't answer my question. You were talking about the value of a program. How close in value does a program need to be so it may be considered within the same stratosphere as ND or UT?

LMAO at Wickeddumb being reduced to bragging on fan bases of other teams.

According to Forbes you're about $40 million short.

About half that to get to Notre Dame.

You mean bragging about or bagging on?

Your English fails as usual.

Well, at least this is better than your typical attempted smack. It's just stupid, not packed with lies. A step in the right direction, Wickedtard. LMAO

Again, you're avoiding the question. What is considered within the same stratosphere?

So team value and TV ratings aren't doing it for you?

I give up

Which is it?

Are you guys still bitching at each other. :facepalm:

Mizzou fans, good luck, and kick some ass. To all of the posters trying to get in a pissing match, just shut the **** up.

We have NO control over what our teams or conferences do, so burn the photo of your ex-girlfriend and move on.

Well, what's the question:

If the question is what best describes Wickeddumb, I'd say the options are:

A. Liar
B. Imbecile
C. Douche

And I'd have to go with D. All of the above.
