@Gorilla72 said in Big 12 Expansion:
Doesn’t CA have a prohibition against their state supported schools (UC system) playing schools where politics conflict? I think Kansas, Oklahoma, maybe Nebraska conflict. I dunno about other Big 10 schools.
State funds can’t be used to travel to those states. Which doesn’t really matter for athletics since they can just say it’s donor money.
I would favor something like what happened with the Big 12 1.0. The Southwest Conference and Big 8 folded and formed the Big 12.
I’ll be honest, I do not give a flying monkey’s arse about BYU, University of Florida - Orlando (Online), or “baby vomit over spaghetti” Cincinnati. I don’t like those cities for road trips and they don’t add much to the competitiveness of the league in terms of economic value.
I also don’t really care about Wazzu or Oregon State. Pullman is more or less in Idaho and Corvallis allegedly is a real city, but I haven’t confirmed that.
So, let’s take the best of the rest and build a legit power league. Stanford, Cal, Colorado, Utah, and the Arizonas are a good start out west. KU, ISU, Tech, OSU, Houston, and maybe another Texas school works. If you can get UW and Oregon that’s even better. All the sudden you have a really good league.

Out of curiosity, would you rather UNC join the SEC or the B10? And how do you feel about not being in a conference with Duke?
That’s tough. Culturally UNC is a much better fit in the SEC, but the SEC doesn’t have the Olympic sports or academics UNC really values. So I’d say Big Ten. Duke can rot in hell 😎

I was 17 frosh year in college too. Thank god I didn’t get carded much at The Hawk!

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2023 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 Zuby is not a 5, he's a 4. Zach Clemence has the skill set and ability to play the 4 in college since he can play away from the basket.
If a top 20 player who could move up further is interested in your program, you recruit him because you need talent and depth to win championships.
As long as Bill sticks with the 4 out (whether 2/2/1 or 1/3/1 guard/wing/big) Zuby won't play the 4 here.

@FarmerJayhawk do you know what happened with the Gonzaga home and home series that was supposed to start this season? I don't remember seeing anything about that series being canceled or delayed.
Neither team announced it. I think the reporting jumped the gun. We're both in Maui in 2023 so we won't play at Lawrence or Spokane then either.
Calvin Clements to Baylor.

The new Big Ten media deal will be MASSIVE. Like over $1 billion per year massive. Pretty soon the gap between the two premiere leagues and the rest of the crew will be $50m+ per school per year. Not to mention the Big 12, ACC, and PAC will get worse networks, less desirable time slots, and less coverage on ESPN, ABC, CBS, and FOX.
Our ticket to a better league for KU is when (I don’t think it’s an if statement) the conferences tell the NCAA to screw off and take the basketball tournament into their own hands. Any other network would love to have the tv rights to a new Power 5 Invitational or whatever they call it. And KU would be the biggest beneficiary. Why, you ask? It all comes down to how the NCAA distributes Tournament revenue.
The NCAA Tournament takes in over $1 billion per year. How much of that gets doled out to conferences? Well, about $170 million. Each school gets one “unit” for making the tournament and another for each win. The value of a unit this year was about $340k. So KU earned 7 units for the Big 12 to split up among the 10 schools. Which is a ripoff! We should be getting A LOT more. But between the Tournament not being sold at market value (the NCAA isn’t maximizing the value at all) and the NCAA taking by far the largest share of a too small pie, the conferences are getting jobbed.
What if the power leagues started their own, similar to the football playoff? I’m glad you asked! The CFP distributes $74m per conference to P5 leagues as part of the bowl system, plus academic bonuses. And an additional $6m per league for each playoff team. And an additional $4m just for making a bowl.
There is a vast well of untapped value KU has if the leagues tell the NCAA to screw off.
Looks like they wrangled the big Bear!

@dylans said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
As someone who has been around feedyards for over 40 years -unfortunately feed timing has nothing to do with the death loss @Crimsonorblue22 it’s too bad as that would be an easy fix - the cattle have feed in front of them all day long - starts at 6 am, second feeding around noon third feeding finishing up around 4:30 - some places only feed twice 6-12 am and 1-4pm - 35,000-95,000 head of cattle per lot, it doesn’t happen instantly. Feed timing makes a big difference for cows that are calving - feed once per day at night and they are likely calve in the morning.
The pens were testing up to 150 degrees - wet manure on the ground was black, no shade, 106 degree air temps, high humidity (for here), and zero wind. These dead animals were 400-500# overweight and black too. The feedyards job is to pack weight on them and get good marbling in the meat, that doesn’t happen on a skinny animal - they are morbidly obese by the time they leave (or in this case die).
If you want pure comedy gold read any of the comments on twitter about it. - they were poisoned, the rancher needs more water for them, the government did it like they killed the buffalo, chem-trails, all 10,000 died on a ranch etc etc. it’s funny until you realize they are serious and are allowed to vote.
10,000+ cattle dead is hard on the owners of the cattle, they would’ve had all the expense in the animal with no income/ insurance to cover the loss. The feedyards don’t own all the cattle in the yards - just a portion the rest is custom fed by little guys like me - only lost one that I know of - locally raised so they handled the weather better.
Figure $1700-1850/ dead animal x10,000
My favorite is Bill Gates had them whacked to make us eat plant burgers
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@FarmerJayhawk we had 1000's of cattle die due to heat, humidity and lack of wind. My bro in law said they needed to feed them later too. He's a rancher/farmer. It was gross seeing them all laying there dead.
I saw. SW Kansas got hit incredibly hard. Freaky weather event. I told my grandparents to head back to Colorado for awhile to avoid it

Really good shot, he's a LB. He's tight with Rich Miller and Marvin Grant. Nice little Detroit pipeline we're developing. Coach Simpson is gonna be a star.
Update on McCaskill. He’s visiting this weekend and if he leaves it’s only to pack his stuff and move to Lawrence.
In the new landscape we’ll also be a nothingburgers. The difference will be a rich one or poor one. Only half the Big 8 will be left in the Big 12 3.0. I just can’t bring myself to care as much if we’re playing at Orlando instead of Austin or Norman or Boulder.

KU definitely is a big draw, and will be as long as Self keeps us rolling. So we'll still get more than our share of Monday primetime games. But we'll also get stuck on Sunday afternoons on occasion just because that's what the new Big 12 media deal will likely entail.

BYU can't play on Sundays if I recall. Wonder how that would work if it came to it
That's right. The NCAA ran into this a few times when BYU advanced in the hoops tournament. They ended up planning to swap days so BYU's region would play Saturday, the other would play Sunday. I suppose they just wouldn't schedule them for any Sunday games
