Yep Cincinnati is such a lock for the Big 12 that your schools president decided he could leave for another gig. UC and Memphis should be omitted from the list, gotcha! 03-lmfao

That's a bad argument. Yes, Ono was so desperate to be associated with the elite academics of Texas Tech and West Virginia. He was so distraught he couldn't be so he left.

UC could have been accepted into the Big 10 and it would still make career sense to do what he did.

I beg to differ with you sir. If Ono had secured a spot in the Big 12 or the B1G (A Power Conference), for Cincinnati, he would have stayed at least until they joined. That's a serious bullet for your resume. Taking a school from a Mid-Major Conference to a Power Conference is a huge deal.

That was my point. Cincinnati isn't scheduled to join the Big 12 and Ono took the BC job now rather then later as there was no reason to postpone the move.

One possible idea for the future:

C-USA — 9 all-sports members. The 9 eastern-most teams currently in the league:
Charlotte
Florida Atlantic
Florida International
Marshall
Middle Tennessee
Old Dominion
Southern Miss
UAB
Western Kentucky

Sun Belt — 8 football members; 9 for Olympic sports:
Appalachian State
Arkansas State
Coastal Carolina
Georgia Southern
Georgia State
South Alabama
Troy
UL/Monroe
*Ark./Little Rock

And finally, a new "Southwest Conference" — 8 football members; 9 for Olympic sports:
Louisiana Tech
New Mexico State
North Texas
Rice
Texas State
UL/Lafayette
UTEP
UTSA
*UT/Arlington

Actually not bad
Too regional.
I think the current sunbelt holds the cards here. Better geography, but not too crowded. They actually have decent 2-team travel partner set-up. Smaller league so the low TV deal is split fewer ways. A few switchouts would help them, but as is, they can keep their costs pretty low without cannibalizing their own schools.
Still, the best names/schools are in C-USA.

There isnt a great deal of diff between the belt and cusa schools, excluding Southern miss, rice and utep.

Sure except CUSA 4th place team dominated undefeated Sunbelt champs in bowl game. Seem to recall CUSA beating two AAC teams in bowls also.

Big difference in talent also, CUSA had the most G5 draft picks while Sunbelt had a total of 3 as much as La Tech.

No moron c-usa did not have the most draft picks. They had the same as the aac. Lying just shows how desperate you are to keep your terrible conference relevant. The fact is no matter what you say the aac won the war we are getting the money and exposer while the c-usa is dying.

His resume? It didn't need any polishing. Taking a school to the Big 12 isn't anything for a school president with his skills and goals to brag about. Conferences hardly mean anything in the world of elite academics. UBC is an elite Top 35 World university. You don't pass up on that kind of opportunity, especially when it's your home. I hate that he left, but any person would have done the same thing.

And are you suggesting he could have waited if UC is going to the Big 12?? Yeah, I'm sure UBC is cool with that. Makes sense.

UC likely isn't going anywhere for now anyway, but Ono's departure means absolutely nothing to that effect.

Given that most of us love President Ono and are torn up about the news, that's a cheap and low blow...

But then again, you are a Memphis fan...

Urm try again. As far as Memphis goes, they aren't getting an invite either. As soon as Boren mentioned Academics; Boom, down went Memphis' battleship. Face it, the Big 12 is the new Big East and is circling the drain. 04-cheers

FYI, Bulls fan here.

Dude, how old are you?? I've always thought USF sent out educated and mature individuals, in your case, guess not. And as far as Memphis getting into the BIG XII, well, we'll just have to wait and see, now won't we. In the mean time, grow up and try to have a nice day.

03-lmfao I'm the one who has to grow up. When it's you whom; at the first sight of something differing from your point of view, has to levy insults instead of just responding to the comment. 05-nono

Keep it classy junior! 03-lmfao

Exactly where did I levy insults?? Hey dude, if the shoe fits wear it (immature comments about a school). And just for your information, our school of business is considered as one of the best in the country, our law school has been acclaimed as one of the best around, our school of Journalism is widely known to be top rate, but if you want to down the education one can get at The University Of Memphis, if it makes you feel like a man, then go ahead. And when it comes to keeping it classy, maybe you should take your own advice and try it, junior.

1, Read the bolded portion of your own statement above.

2, My post was satirical towards Bearcat#1's accretion that UC and Memphis should be excluded from the list of future conference members.

3, If you can't take comments on the internet, don't log on. By the way, this board is littered with far more satirical and vitriol laden comments then mine. Yet you chose to suggest that I'm less intelligent and immature for my post. You seem to be reaching. 03-yawn

Point taken. As stated above, my initial post was a jab at Bearcat#1's post. Although, I do believe that taking a Mid-Major to a Power Conference would be a great achievement for ones resume and wouldn't hurt one's standings with potential boosters.

I'm not talking about your post to bearcat #1 regarding whether Memphis or UC isn't getting into the BIG XII, the one I'm referring to is your snarky remark you made regarding Boren's comment regarding academics, you had to come in with "boom down goes Memphis", insinuating that being the reason why Memphis won't be admitted, hence my examples of the quality of education you receive at Memphis. Whether you think UC or Memphis gains entrance into the BIG XII or not, well that's your opinion and that's fine, nothing wrong with that, it's just your opinion. Your smart @ss remark about the education received at Memphis is what I'm referring to. And no, I'm not reaching dude, I know how the internet works, but I'm just trying to set you straight on the qualities of a Memphis education. Serious question, did you attend USF or are you just a fan who enjoys knocking down other schools?? Asked in a satirical tone of course.

We have no fear, it's called; Perception. Texas want's to be associated with Major Academic Institutions. There is no way they allow the University of Memphis to join the Big 12. I like Memphis but, they have no academic ranking in any major area. That makes the "perception" of them being a lesser institution then any of the other named candidates.

Facts are facts. There is no Big 12 expansion without Texas' say so. 05-nono

Sure in the hell won't be USF, you can bet on it, and that I know as fact. People still question how they got in the Big East to start with. Hate to tell you, but UCF carries more cred than USF and would be considered for a power 5 conference way before USF would. USF isn't even on the radar. Fact. So yea, we'll see soon enough, now won't we. Glad to know you're laughing your fat @ss off. Child

Agreed. I think its sooner than that, however.

Agreed. I think its sooner than that, however.

I think certain G5 stage flagships won't get left behind due to politics. When you have a Gov and 2 US Senators fighting for you, it's a different situation IMHO. Wish ECU had that kind of clout....anyway UCONN, New Mexico, Wyoming, Hawaii ETC have that going for them. Ironically, Idaho has too many pro Boise St people in their legislature to get the same political protection. When I heard a few years ago that the state would no longer refer to Idaho as their state flagship institution I was surprised. Has that ever happened before? The school that once shared a conference with the PAC schools had lost even the usual state support you have when you are the state flagship. If somehow wrote a book on how that was possible, I'd read it.



Cheers!

Facts are facts. There is no Big 12 expansion without Texas' say so. 05-nono

Thanks for the clarification messofallacies

Sure in the hell won't be USF, you can bet on it, and that I know as fact. People still question how they got in the Big East to start with. Hate to tell you, but UCF carries more cred than USF and would be considered for a power 5 conference way before USF would. USF isn't even on the radar. Fact. So yea, we'll see soon enough, now won't we. Glad to know you're laughing your fat @ss off. Child

Man you need some help. Holding in all that hostility. I sense some jealousy and a bit of desperation. Just relax. Time is marching on.

By the way, how many articles have come out about that high powered Memphis team this year? 03-lmfao

Just for the record, I still believe the Big 12 implodes. Would USF jump ship if given the chance. Any of us would but, I think we'd find ourselves building an entirely new conference very soon after. 04-cheers

Memphis has a legit squad. If I remember correctly USF hasn't even beaten us yet in the American in football. You guys play into our strength anyway. Maybe the 4th time is the charm for your team to beat us.

I think it is more likely that we see much of the G5 sorta become a new FCS, with the current FCS falling behind even more. There is too much difference in G5 teams and some of the FCS conferences. You can't have G5 level teams with big stadiums and decent sized fanbases competing against non-scholarship schools that play in stadiums that are high school quality.

That would then give schools like NDSU, Montana, Montana State, Delaware, and JMU a level fitting of their commitment to athletics and would prevent current G5 schools from taking a huge step back.

There are clearly 3 tiers of college football with a few schools that are currently stuck at the wrong level.

I need help?? Dude you are one funny little child that continues to troll. I keep throwing you a bone and you bite like a dog in heat. 03-lmfao And as far as being hostile, hell, I don't have a hostile bone in my body. And as far as you being a troll, well sonny, you're still in the minor leagues, but keep trying, one day you just may get there. Oh well, I'm done playing games with you, play time is over. I'll even let you get in the last word (post). I'm off this train, buh-bye 03-lmfao
