Realignment 2022

[UTEPfan1966]

Wow.....Devil gets his panties in a wad when facts are given to him.

And Vegas.....really? Anti-american cultist?

It appears feralfeli hit a nerve when he just pointed out the truth. THE STATES ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE LAWS! He also points out that the states laws CAN be changed if you vote different people into the state positions.....but you don't want to hear that....just keep screaming and ignore the truth.

To be clear, I am ok with abortions with restrictions. Once we have a heartbeat, we have a life and any abortion is killing that little person.

 

[jdubb66]

Can we take this abortion shit elsewhere? Pretty please?

 

[minerfan_14]

And ppl get upset with my soccer posts which I keep to the thread topic. This went downhill fast.
Need football to start so we can all b**** about that

I don't know taking away the autonomy of a woman's body seems like only POS self-righteous pricks would be OK with that. No one forced women to have abortions, but it's their right if they choose to have one(sometimes necessary). It's their body. The constitution doesn't say blowjobs are legal yet you ****s don't mind that, right? It's a privacy thing.

You forgot that men can get pregnant too. 🙄

You're comparing a blowjob to an abortion? 🧐

THE STATES ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE LAWS!

I guess you're OK with colored only water fountains then? I've read the Constitution once and I don't see "water fountain" or "hotel" or "segregation" any where in there.

If the states make the laws and we're no longer respecting newly created rights, I'll assume the Court upheld the NY gun statute 9-0 since New Yorkers are in the best position to determine how to run their militia than some unelected people in Washington and the opinion is just a long apology for wasting people's time by taking the case.

According to Clarence Thomas, that's next on the hit list.

I'm comparing it to its none of your business what people do with their bodies.

So a woman should be able to have an abortion at 8 months?

 

[develman]

So a woman can have an abortion at 8 months?

YES! BTW that's a strawman argument, being "late-term" abortions are rare and happen when the woman's life is in danger or the pregnancy went wrong(stillborn).

 

[denverutep]

I guess Lawrence v. Texas is next on the agenda.

 

[denverutep]

YES!

Wow

 

[STexMiner]

I guess Lawrence v. Texas is next on the agenda.

Yet Loving v. Virginia isn't for some reason.

 

[denverutep]

Anything is possible I guess.

Politicians go to more lengths to protect a child that hasn't seen the earth than they do about the ones that have.

The 14th Amendment has the Equal Protection Clause, which was supposed to guarantee colorblindness of the law. But the Supreme Court, in Plessy v Ferguson, made up the "Separate but Equal" rule out of thin air in a perfect example of judicial activism.

When the courts make crap up to arrive at a predetermined outcome, that's when troubles arise.

No, I'm not okay with segregation because it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. It took an act of egregious judicial activism to circumvent that.

 

[chuwy9]

It seems realignment is on hold now because of Norte Dame?
I imagine as the conferences continue to consolidate, independence will no longer be as profitable for them?

You're kidding right? That's gotta be the dumbest comparison you could have come up with.
It the states job to make laws for their states. We elect state reps to help create these laws. Colored water fountains? Where the hell do you get this garbage? There hasn't been segregation in my entire lifetime. WTF does that have to do with the fact that states make up the laws? If a state makes a ridiculous law, it can be challenged and removed.
For the record, dude, it's no where in the constitution saying you have the right to an abortion either. Maybe read ALL of my comments before coming across like an idiot. (note: I stated I believe abortion should be legal up until a heartbeat)

I'm done with this horse....I need a drink.....peace out

Everyone will be waiting on the Big 10s next move. Notre Dame or more Pac 10 schools.

I'd bet the Irish end up in the big10 sooner than later

I guess the baby has no rights?

Maybe they would choose to live.

Whats clear is that without UCLA and USC, there is no way the pac can maintain their tv rights payout. The largest media marketss they can go after are San Diego, Fresno, perhaps Hawaii. MWC would have to look at the El paso market as a potential replacement no?

The Pac 12 could certainly raid the Big 12, or merge with them.

Football (non NCAA)
4 power conferences (64 schools) with an 8 team playoff.

4 major conferences with (66 schools) with an 8 team playoff.

Add every 2 year relegating to make it exciting

I think there will only be two power conferences. The Big Ten and and SEC aren't expanding to share power with other power conferences. They're expanding to take over. The media rights will put those two in their own stratosphere and will be worth at least twice as much as the big 12 and PAC 12. Even in an expanded playoff (8 teams) they will want at least three teams in each if not four. Maybe 10 teams with a play in round. Even with that you have 2 mega conferences and a G8. That is if those 2 conferences don't break away completely.

The talk now is that Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah are all talking to the Big 12. The Big 12 has the upper hand. If I was the Pac 12, I would either merge, or essentially it will become the MWC2.0 as CUSA did when everyone left for the Big East then the AAC after UTEP joined.

They probably have had conversations with them, but it’s too early to say the Big 12 has the upper hand. If the “Pac 10” is able and willing to stay together, they could still take BYU and add Gonzaga or SDSU and call it a day. Only until another round of team(s) leave, can you say the Big 12 has an upper hand.

It would make sense for them to merge, but why would they really want Oregon St and Washington St?

Beat case for UTEP is that the Pac 10 is able to expand and they take several MWC schools.

Who has the better TV deal? Pac 12 looks like it may be in desperation mode because their TV deal will end in 2024, and they are going into negotiations for them soon. The Big 12 can show a new TV deal starting in 2024 that has already been signed that is worth 3 billion dollars, or 35 million over 10 years per team. That to me is the upper hand.

They will have 12 members slated to draw from that 300 million a year. That means 25 million per team. The 35 million was the payout with 10 members. If they add four more teams that goes down to 18.75 million. That doesn't sound like the upper hand. The Big 12 won't get to renegotiate just because they add four more teams. The members of the pac-12 will be better off waiting to see what the numbers look like for their new deal before making any move. 18 million ain't great.

Do you honestly think the Pac 12 without UCLA or USC (the Los Angeles TV market) is going to get a better deal than the Big 12? Secondly, it is likely Oregon jumps ship, (all hinges on Notre Dame) then they are really left with nothing.

My guess is that if you wait around a la UTEP did when invited to the MW years ago, you are going to get stuck into a worse situation. Better to take what is in front of you.

I think the pac-12 covers a larger population base than the Big 12 the way they sit today. In that scenario I do think they will be able to get a better deal than what the Big 12 is going to be able to offer. All the pac-12 will have to do is be able to beat more than 18 million per team in TV rights. That's a fairly low bar to beat. Now if Oregon and Washington leave all bets are off at that point. I'm only talking about where the conference is stand in realignment currently today.

Any team that joins the Big 12 at this point is just diluting the per team TV payout. That contract is already signed and the ink is dry. It really would only make sense for G5 schools to join the Big 12.

The PAC 12 as of now* has much bigger brands than the Big 12. The Big 12 is a mediocre conference that did the best they could after losing their two national brands. As of now The Big 12's biggest brands are BYU, Okie State, Texas Tech and Iowa State. Nobody is paying Big $ money for those schools. UH helps with market and potential and probably has the highest ceiling of any of the schools but it won't help monetarily that much. Kansas is a name but has zero brand rating for football. TCU and Baylor are names but are small private schools who aren't bringing alot of eyeballs. To this point The Pac 12 has the better brands and dominates their markets. If Washingron and Oregon stay put ( which I don't think they will). You can build off that. Right now the PAC 12 is slightly better because the brands are better and there is no sharing markets like will have in the Big 12 with big 10 and SEC schools. The fact is both are done as "Power Conferences" Their new media deals will probably be worth a fourth of what the SEC and Big 10 will get. Right now it's The Pac 12 is slightly more attractive but that could change tommorow. It's like picking between a one leged or blind greyhound to race with. Both are done being power conferences.

The Big 12 deal is up after the 24-25 season. USC and UCLA are joining at the start of that season. So any team that joins the Big 12 in 24-25 would have to go 1 year with the old tv deal. That is nothing. Not an obstacle.
