College football 2016 offseason thread

At this point I don't see the folks in the Big 12 agreeing on whether or not to expand or which teams to invite if they do so.

Some people are convinced they need 12. Others are convinced it's not worth it. Neither UCF or Cincy is going to be enough to convince ESPN and Fox to shell out enough money. As the grant of rights nears expiration Oklahoma is going to want to join the SEC. Kansas will see little choice but to go to the Big Ten. Neither one is going to feel the political pressure to stay with the States they did last time around.

 

Would the Big 10 take Kansas?

 

If the presidents stick to their guns about only wanting to invite geographically contiguous AAU members, Kansas is on a very short list of schools that fits if the Big Ten ever wants to expand again. That's especially true if they can't raid the ACC.

I would also think KU basketball adds a little value to the Big Ten Network.

 

Yeah, but KU football is a boat anchor tied to the league's ankle.

 

If the commenters on this post are a representative sample, Longhorn fans want to kill off the Big 12 so they can join the Big 10 (or at least Pac-12).

You think Ohio State and Michigan want to invite a football team they actually have to worry about?

Honestly though, KU football will be OK in a few years and when it is OK its ratings and attendance is relatively good.

 

A&M loses top recruit > assistant coach subtweets snark about #kidstoday > A&M loses more recruits. Poor Aggie.

These coaches all look like fucking morons when they do anything other than make announcements on Twitter. If you have enough time to tweet like a butt hurt teenage girl and then continue to reply you're not working hard enough.

 

Football coaches, by and large, are full-time meatheads who continue to live life as high school and put off adulthood as long as they can. That they would have zero control over their impulses and emotions is not surprising at all.

 

I love the part where he complains about loyalty. He'd jump ship as soon as anyone made him a better offer.
