Thanks buddy. I actually joined a long arse time ago, shortly after sadovin created these boards, but just recently started posting here on a regular basis. I used to post over on the CBS boards all the time, but they've gotten so unintelligible and illegible that I don't see the point in wasting my time over there anymore. I hate that place. But now at work that's about all I have got to talk on.

I don't know why Mizzou would consider the move... I could be way off here, but are they unhappy with the Big 12 or are they notting getting their cut of the money... I wouldn't think that the Big 12 is less profitable for them.

Why doesn't anyone look at putting Tulsa in their conference when all of this add a team talk comes up?? Tulsa has a great football and basketball history and if in a decent conference could recruit and play with almost anyone.

I wouldn't think that the Big 12 is less profitable for them. B12 doesn't have nearly as lucrative TV deals as B10. That would be a reason.

That would be a reason. if that is the case, which again, I don't know, then yes... but I would think that they wouldn't be so near sighted as to ruin all of their recruiting by joining such a conference...

WHY??? Wisconsin's number one (non in state) recruiting grounds has traditionally been Texas. Why would aother school with a foot hold in Texas recruiting lose it by joining the Big Ten. That makes no sense?

I was always under the impression that while bowls have tie ins to certain conferences, that outside of the conference champs, that the BOWL directors were the ones who picked the team they wanted. IS this a conference to conference thing, because in the Big Ten I know it's the bowl administrators/directors who do the choosing, not the conference. And if that is the case, why would a move of conferences change that? It seems to me if bowl admins are choosing other schools it is usually based on how well that teams fan base travels and how much money they will likely spend in their city. IT's why, historically, Wisconsin is usually chosen over schools such as Purdue for bowl games as an example. Again maybe this is done differently in other conferences??

I'm a pretty sure that in the Pac 10, the #1 team goes to Rose Bowl, #2 team goes to the Holiday Bowl, etc. I would assume that the Holiday Bowl would have loved to have had USC in their game but the Pac 10 said that since Arizona finished in 2nd place, they got the game. That is how it should work

As far as I know, the bowl games are the ones that get the final decision. I am sure that the conferences do try to get them to follow the order set, but they ultimately have no say. The Outback Bowl has always taken the #2 team in the SEC East, but chose Auburn over UT this year because they said that Auburn travels better than UT.

The bowl games do have contracts. For instance, for the ACC the sequence is BCS Title game and/or Orange Bowl, Chick Filet A, Gator. For the SEC it is BCS/Sugar, Cap One, Outback/Cotton, Chick Filet. That does not mean they have to pick the so called second, third, fourth or fifth team....but that they have the second, third, fourth or fifth choice.
Some conferences have agreements with the bowls that they cannot select a team that has more than one more loss than a team passed over. Then, you have the situation with the Gator Bowl which is in its last year with the ACC and basically told the ACC to stick it on the FSU selection.
The Outback, as it has been want to do over its history, pulled a bit of a fast one by taking Auburn over several other teams. The Tigers lost 4 of their last 6 SEC games. They lost to Georgia, Kentucky and Arkansas, all of which had the same overall record and in the case of Georgia had a better conference record. But they were expected to bring a ton of fans and they met the basic criteria agreed upon between the SEC and the Outback Bowl. It was an odd year in the Conference with so many teams finishing with identical overall records (Tennessee, Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Auburn).
